As a consulting hypnotist, I help my clients inculcate positive thinking and the capacity for self-hypnosis wherein I coach, teach, guide, instruct, or train motivated individuals to achieve their goals.  Hypnotism for the issues related to medical or psychological problems requires a referral from a licensed medical or mental health practitioner.  -  Carol Denicker
 

How Can Hypnosis Help You?
By facilitating change, discovering and accessing creative, unlimited potential, by releasing negative or limiting habits, identifying the stressors that trigger negative behavior or feelings. 
 

Facts You Should Know:

• Hypnosis is pleasant state of mind, similar to daydreaming, in which you become very receptive to proper suggestions.
• The effects are feelings of calmness, tranquility and profound relaxation.
• You will not actually be asleep or unconscious.  You will always be aware of your surroundings, but you'll easily disregard the normal elements in the environment.
• You will always remain in control and be able to awaken yourself at any time.
• You will reject any inappropriate suggestions.
• You cannot get stuck in hypnosis.  If you are left alone, the absence of the hypnotist's continued dialog will cause you to come out of it.
• The depths of hypnosis can be divided into three levels: light, medium and deep, and varies with each person.  The lightest level is sufficient to break most habits.  The most important factors are your motivation and ability to accept and follow the suggestions.
• Anyone of average intelligence can achieve a state of hypnosis.  If you can focus your attention and use your imagination, hypnosis will probably occur immediately.  For varying reasons, some people do require some additional time and practice.
• You cannot be hypnotized against your will. If you do not want to experience hypnosis - you won't.
• Because hypnosis is a familiar and natural state of mind some people experiencing hypnosis are not sure if they were hypnotized or not.
• A person that expects to be unconscious might think s/he was not hypnotized because s/he retained awareness of the surroundings.  Hypnosis is a state of heightened awareness and focus - not a loss of consciousness.
• You'll remember your hypnosis session.
• Your attitude about reaching your goal is very important. A good attitude produces good results.
• To achieve the maximum benefit from your hypnosis session, you must be willing to practice self-hypnosis and/or listen to hypnotic CDs you are provided with to reinforce positive suggestion.
