Prevent Teen Laziness!
Posted by: | CommentsMost of us enjoy a lazy day when we can sleep in, putz around and just relax a little – and our kids are no different. However, when the dog days of summer come, some teens take that one “couch out” day and stretch it over an entire summer break. Here are some tips to combat summertime teen laziness and keep your teen active and engaged.
Communicate Expectations – Tell your teen in a nonthreatening but firm manner that you will not accept their staying in bed all morning and afternoon. It is perfectly reasonable to ask that they get up at a decent hour. Explain that you want them to do more than merely watch TV, play video games, or visit social networking sites all day. Read More→
Easy Weight Loss Hypnosis
Posted by: | CommentsSummer is almost here. I bet you can hardly wait! Or, can you?
Those who gained a few pounds this past year may dread the warm, summer months ahead. The shorts, the sleeveless shirts, the bathing suits. Does it get any worse than that? Oh, yes…the bikinis. Yipes! The horror! The horror!
You’ve comforted yourself with carbs and dark chocolate on those long, cold nights, but now it’s time to pay the piper. But wait…I’ve got great news for you. You don’t have to go on a crash diet. In fact, if you do, you will regret it because the pounds will come right back. You already know which foods are good for you and which ones will pack the weight on. So, you’ll not get a lecture from me.
I want to offer you an easy solution. One that not only works, but will continue to work without effort, deprivation, or hardship.
Sound too good to be true?
It is true and I, personally, can attest to the wonders of hypnosis. As a certified, clinical hypnotherapist, I help hundreds of people lose weight, stop smoking, and overcome panic attacks, anxiety, phobias, fears, and addictions.
This particular weight loss hypnosis program works magnificently. You can lose all the weight you want, and it will remain “lost” permanently. With hypnosis, you lose your cravings for fatty and sugary food, while you learn to enjoy smaller portions of healthy foods. Read More→
Pain, Dental Chickens, and Self-Hypnosis – What?
Posted by: | CommentsIt’s not often that I get to practice what I preach. After all, it’s been years since I suffered from panic attacks and social anxiety. But, lucky me, I just had the opportunity to “trance” myself into a blissful state of relaxation, better known as self-hypnosis.
Let me back up a bit. You see, I am a fairly fearless person. I don’t like earthquakes, floods, or fires, but don’t really face those disasters on a daily basis. I’m not a daredevil, but I do enjoy a rough and tumble carnival ride, now and again.
However, I do not now, nor have I ever, liked dental offices. I was going to say “dentists,” but I’m sure that behind their glistening teeth, crooked smiles, and demonic eyes, they probably are, in all probability, human beings with feelings. So, okay, I’m not going to admit to being afraid of dentists. Yes, and if you believe that, then I really don’t find clowns creepy. Read More→
Treating Depression With Hypnosis
Posted by: | CommentsDepression is a debilitating disorder that destroys lives. Not just the life of the one suffering, but the lives of the family members, as well. There are numerous causes of depression, from physiological to situational. The recommended form of treatment for people with a chemical imbalance is a combination of medications and psychotherapy.
But for those who suffer from situational depression, then hypnosis is the ideal solution. Situational depression, although temporary, can last for several years. This form of depression is caused by a negative circumstance in your life, such as divorce, bereavement, separation from a loved one (a spouse in the armed forces), care-giving an elderly parent, loss of a job or house, or any other devastating life change. Some of these situations are short-term, while others may go on for years. Thus, you cannot afford to stay depressed while you wait for the situation to change. Read More→
Self-Hypnosis For Beginners
Posted by: | CommentsSelf- hypnosis is the ability to get yourself into a very relaxed, trance-like state. Most of us experience the “hypnotic” feeling several times a day. If you’ve ever “lost” time while reading a great book, watching an absorbing movie, or driving down the road as you listen to music, then you’ve experienced the sensation of hypnosis.
If you are truly motivated to change a negative behavior, bad habit, phobia, or simply want to improve something about yourself, then you are a perfect candidate for self-hypnosis. Once you learn this technique, you will be able to use it at any time, in any place.
While learning this technique, you will need a quiet room where you will be undisturbed for at least 20 minutes. Make sure you are comfortable, but not so comfortable that you fall asleep. Since you need to give yourself instructions and suggestions, you need to be awake and alert, but in an altered state of consciousness.
Before you begin the process, think about what you hope to achieve. This goal will be the suggestion you state to yourself when you are in a relaxed state. Work this out ahead of time. Be very specific, such as, “I want to stop eating Snickers,” or “I want to feel comfortable speaking in public.” Whatever you choose, you must express the suggestion in positive terms. For example, “I am a non-smoker,” rather than, “I do not want to smoke.” Read More→
Hypnosis to Treat Panic Attacks in Children
Posted by: | CommentsPanic attacks are a type of anxiety disorder that can occur at any time in a person’s life, including childhood. The trigger is different for everyone. It might be caused by a traumatic incident or it might occur suddenly, seemingly without provocation. A very shy child might be bullied at school and begin dreading going to school. Those feelings may escalate into fear and before you know it, the child is having full-blown panic attacks.
There is a high probability that people who suffer from panic attacks as adults also suffered from them as children. Unfortunately, many parents are dismissive of their child’s symptoms simply because they do not recognize them for what they are. Even health professionals may mistakenly diagnose a child as being “high strung” or mislabel them as having Attention Deficit Disorder. The danger of a wrong diagnosis is that the physician will prescribe drugs, rather than delve further into the child’s psyche. While these medications may have a positive physiological effect on the child, panic attacks are predominantly psychological in nature, and drugs will not alter the child’s thought processes nor address the child’s fears.

Stop Panic Attacks With Self-Hypnosis
Posted by: | CommentsThe Panic Attack Experience
You’re sitting in a crowded theater. Suddenly, the room starts to spin, your heart pounds so hard you’re sure the person next to you can feel the vibration. The nausea swells your throat and you feel like throwing up. You’re light-headed and feel like fainting. You want to get up and leave. You need fresh air. You need to splash cold water on your face. But you’re paralyzed with fear. You can’t move. You can’t speak. Your mouth feels dry. Your heart is throbbing wildly. Your brain is about to explode. You know you’re going to make a scene and be humiliated. You know you’re about to die.
