WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION? Sessions are typically 1:50 mns. Each session starts with an interview to determine where you are at, your aim and purpose. This is why the more specific you are when you come for your session, the more results you'll get. Ask yourself: What do you want to change or improve in your life? What is causing you pain or discomfort? How committed are you to your own healing? The first interview is going to be longer so we can determine together if there are several areas you want to work on, and their order of priority. Indeed, we will focus methodically on one area at a time, although experience shows that working on one can throw light on another as we are ultimately human beings holding intertwined nets of beliefs, behaviors and feelings. Once we have determined the purpose of this particular session, I guide you in a state of deep relaxation where your logical/analytical mind will remain present and in control, but a spectator of the process. We ordinarily, (right now as I am writing this article and as you are reading it) use only 11% of our brain faculties. The other 79%, the “subconscious”, is “enabled” at different frequencies, theta waves, used in the hypnotic state. During the session, your habitual mind (the logical/analytical mind) will remain aware and will remember what happens, but it will become more receptive to the powerful resources of your subconscious mind which may have been forgotten, censured, discarded as “not making sense”. My role as a hypnotherapist is to help you trust these infinite resources of healing that are in yourself, to facilitate your access to that other part of your brain where your healing is possible. You are the expert of your own healing, you have the answers. My role is to guide you there, guide you to your own precious answers, like a fisherman steering a boat on the vastness of your subconscious to guide you to where the good fish is. During this process, you will receive messages, insights and guidance from your subconscious regarding the source of your problem, the solution to your improvement, the healing of your discomfort or pain. Hard to believe? Yes, the analytical mind can be skeptical that its 11% brain capacity is not all there is. I can only share with you that you will receive these insights. Don't believe me; verify it from your own experience. Once this guidance is received, I will help you to make a precious link from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind through anchoring this insight, the solution, the healing in your logical mind so that you can make these insights practical and meaningful in your everyday life. Once the healing has occurred, your psychological territory becomes virgin land again, and we can make new tracks on the virgin snow for you to follow. The logical/analytical mind that lies on the "surface" is overwhelmed with thousands of tracks as shallow as those on an asphalted highway, bombarded with information from the media, books, technical and intellectual information that doesn’t pertain to you and therefore doesn’t help your specific issue. The new tracks that are traced on your refreshed and renewed psyche at the end of a session can have a profound impact on your life, on the way you think, on the way you behave, on the way you feel. Your active participation is required for you to apply your insights into your life. This last 150 years have disempowered you from your own healing abilities, we have accepted to surrender it to the experts, to the pharmaceutical pills, to somebody external to our own experiences. It doesn't work that well. With Alchemical Hypnotherapy, you are empowered again to take responsibility to your own healing, because you can. Your well-being comes from your being well. My role is to facilitate that for how long you need me as a mid-wife, once you are born, you don’t need me anymore. |
