Here’s more from The Bold Italic.

1. Hypnotherapy is always quicker than others types of therapy

Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions

Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions

Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions

2. Being in an altered state is natural to all of us

Most of us are hypnotized several times a day when we watch TV or read, getting into the story or emotional drama. When our attention is engaged, our consciousness is in the story, not the physical place where we are. This results in a shift in our state of consciousness, similar to the one we reach in hypnotherapy sessions

While other methods of therapy may take an extended length of time and numerous visits, Kay’s clients get in touch with their wise inner mind and are able to change very quickly. Each client and Kay co-create a personalized cd- an audio recording, for daily, at-home practice to achieve the desired results.

The GOOD NEWS is that light-to-medium depth trance states are just as effective as deep trance experiences at making the changes you wish to make!

3: Hypnotherapy is a non-toxic Therapy

How Hypnotherapy Works ?The altered state of awareness we call “hypnosis” is safe. Kay guides you into a state of deep relaxation to slow down the self-critical part of your mind. Anyone can be hypnotized, if they so desire. Some people mistakenly assume that the hypnotic state is an unconscious one, similar to being asleep or under anesthesia. This is not true. We are always aware and conscious in this relaxed state.

Kay uses a careful and systematic approach to hypnotherapy, which releases the natural, self-healing forces deep within you. Her hypnotherapy method is more direct and powerful than other traditional treatments. Addictive, unproductive, or destructive patterns of behavior can be changed easily and quickly

What to Expect:? You establish your goals for hypnosis in the first session with Kay. After working with her for three sessions, you evaluate your progress. You may feel complete or wish to go further. Often the changes you want to make can happen within three sessions!

First red flag was that her Husband called me to make the appointment. Generally I always talk directly to the primary client when making appointments. Mr. and Mrs. X came in my office together and she insisted that he remain with her during all of our sessions. This happens normally only when the client is a child.

She sat in her chair, arms crossed, telling me that she had clenched her fists and teeth and had been depressed since childhood and she was over 60 years old… an old habit indeed. And she spoke out of the corner of her mouth, like the prototypical gangsters in the old movies, the ones that have a cigar clenched in the other side of the mouth, and it was fascinating, since she was a New Yorkah, even.

She told me flat-out that she had difficulty with sleeping and in trusting anyone but her husband and her brother. I saw where that placed me, uttering under my breath, “Oy vey and OMG” and even with all the apparent resistance, I ‘soldiered on’ working with her in letting go of the ‘old baggage’ using the Emotional Freedom Technique and lo and behold, during the guided meditation, she actually relaxed and fell asleep in the chair in my office!! Mr. X kept looking over at me, smiling incredulously, her mouth was open and teeth far from clenching!

After they left, I told Dr. Hack that I so greatly appreciated his sending me one of the most difficult and resistant clients of my 20-year career!

Now, I was the one almost gnashing my teeth at the thought of her subsequent visits. But on the second session, she came in almost grinning and telling me how well she was sleeping, and to the third session having lost that ‘ganstah’ talking out of the side of her mouth, her speech was almost normal and she was joking around joyfully and bantering with me and her Husband, a sense of humour that had been hidden away during the initial visit.

Perhaps, we are not at the Mission Accomplished moment, but she has made brilliant progress and as I told Dr. Hack in the meeting today, I actually got to the point that I enjoyed this client couple and would be pleased to see them again in the near future.

Success is measured in many different ways.
