Have you ever been somewhere surrounded by several people, enjoying
yourself thoroughly until someone walks up and says or does
something that makes you feel angry, sad, frustrated,
insecure...etc? Within seconds, you go from joy into a tailspin? The
complete tailspin may take a while as you are an adult and you will
compose yourself in front of others or NOT, but the joy you were
feeling has now diminished itself into a flat line feeling. Or, you
completely react with a sarcastic remark, yell, or have an all out
temper tantrum. Someone has TRIPPED YOUR TRIGGER! People are
triggering all the time. Have you seen the angry driver’s on the
street, domestic violence, fights, someone consistently finding the
worst boss and quitting their job over and over again? Guess what…
it’s not really the boss! TRIGGERS are what sets us off; an
emotional reaction that is coming from the unconscious mind. Most
triggers come from past programming that is stored within the
unconscious mind. We react to things that are happening in the NOW
that really do not pertain to the NOW. In actuality it pertains to
something that we’ve experienced in our PAST that is getting
triggered in the NOW.
When utilizing Hypnosis, the Hypnotherapist is able to get to the why,
what, who and how to stop the emotional reactions in a very timely
fashion. This is an absolute life changing event. With as little as
three sessions you will notice positive change. With as little as
six sessions you will notice extreme positive change in how you
react to situations that once TRIGGERED you into doing things or
saying things that can take your life, relationship, job etc., into
a downward spin. The amount of time you spend working with your
Hypnotherapist is contingent upon each individual, the issues that
require attention and how willing you are to make the change. If you
are getting your trigger tripped stop blaming everyone else for your
reactions. It’s simply a stored belief that is getting triggered.
You now know that hypnotherapy can take care of that trigger. If we
all take care of our own triggers all that talk about peace,
happiness and prosperity is truly possible.

HypnoBirthing®
is as much a philosophy of birth as it is a technique for achieving
a satisfying, relaxing, and stress-free method of birthing. This
amazing program teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the
art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner. You
will learn how to call upon your body’s own natural relaxant and
thus lessen, or even eliminate, discomfort and the need for
medication. When a woman is properly prepared for childbirth and
when mind and body are in harmony, Nature is free to function in the
same well-designed manner that it does with all animal mothers in
Nature. Through self-hypnosis, special breathing, and visualization,
HypnoBirthing® teaches you to release all prior programming about
birth, how to trust your body and work with it, as well as how to
free yourself of harmful emotions that lead to pain-causing fear and
unyielding muscles. HypnoBirthing® will teach you the art of using
your own natural birthing instincts. With HypnoBirthing®, you will
not be in a trance or a sleep state. You will be aware and fully in
control, but profoundly relaxed.

hypnosis that was extremely
profound.
We also had two fantastic

that were willing to be
hypnotized on camera so
that the viewing audience
could see and hear an actual
hypnosis session.
Thank you Pam and

Frequently asked Questions about Hypnotherapy
What is
Hypnosis?
During hypnosis the body
and conscious mind go into a
relaxed neutral state. At that
time, the subconscious mind
is remains awake and receptive
to suggestions. Hypnosis
is simply an education communication
process that
allows a persons conscious
and subconscious minds to
believe the same message.
How does the
Subconscious
Accept Hypnotic Suggestions?
Hypnotic suggestions by pass
the critical or intellectual mind called the conscious
and zero in on the subconscious.
When given a suggestion
that is within the bounds
of a person’s belief system
and moral orientation, the
subconscious mind accepts it
literally as new reality.
How does
Hypnosis help
people?
The ability to reprogram
emotional attitudes and reactions
is a talent within every
human being. Hypnosis is
the most functional and reasonable
way to train life long
attitudes and behaviors,
rather than suffer a lifetime
of emotional accidents the
conscious mind is unable to
change.
Is Hypnosis
Medically Approved?
Yes, In 1958, The American
Medical Association and the
American Psychiatric Association
have approved hypnotherapy
for use by professionally
responsible, certified
individuals. The British Medical
Association also adapted
Hypnosis as a viable therapeutic
tool in 1958 the same
time the American Medical
association approved it.
Are the results
Permanent?
Suggestions stay with some
individuals indefinitely,
others need reinforcement.
The effects of hypnosis are
cumulative: The more the
techniques are practiced and
post-hypnotic suggestions
are brought into play, the
more permanent the results
become. Self hypnosis training
and reinforcement tapes,
cd’s for home use provide
additional help.
How does Hypnosis assist
with Stress?
Excessive stress is not something
anyone should have to
put up with. We need to accept
that stress exists and
that it is a killer – there are
statistics produced every
minute that prove this.
Stress affects the functioning
of our hearts, lungs, stomach,
intestines and blood
vessels.
Why do some people seem
to
be affected by stress more
than others?
Contrary to popular belief, the people
who cope with more stressful
situations are not necessarily
more intelligent or more capable;
they just react to
situations differently. It is
not the situation that causes
the stress, it is how the person
reacts to it.
Hypnosis can assist in
reprogramming
how one reacts to
certain situations.

been impressive and insightful and has allowed me to trust my
