Hypnosis in-person vs. Zoom sessions

Posted on July 6, 2023July 10, 2023 by directpath

What is best… Hypnosis in-person (one on one in a relaxed environment) vs Zoom sessions? What is my personal preference? Sometimes old school is the best school. Having extensive experience doing pre-covid sessions in our office, then during covid where zoom sessions were necessary, I’ve had a chance to observe the subtle and sometimes not so subtle differences between the two. For example, the e...

The Use of Clinical Hypnosis to Improve the Quality of Life of People Living with Dementia by Dr. Daniel Nightingale (Dementia Therapy Specialists) It was while I was training in Hypno-Psychotherapy that I had this idea; an idea that the majority of the professional dementia community scoffed at. Oh yes, they thought he was well and truly on the way to Crazyville! The idea? That hypnosis ...

A Wonderfully Desolate Beach in November

Imagine. Fall… the weather has turned colder and even windy some days. The make-up and foolery of Halloween is over and the thoughts of Thanksgiving are now at hand. This is a warm and cozy time of year or at least that’s the idea. Fireplaces are lit now and harvest foods fill the table, pantry, and kitchens. In our work a day world what should be peaceful and loving preparation for the holid...

Loss Of A Pet

Posted on March 20, 2013July 30, 2015 by directpath

I'm a pet lover and I know that the loss of a pet is a heart issue, not a head issue. As a supporter of my partner’s dog Rescue and an errand runner at times, I was in our vet office on an assignment. While I was waiting a young woman came in carrying a large dog that looked to be a lab and pit bull mix. The dog was shrouded with a blanket and noticing the clouded eyes and grayed face and hav...

Posted on January 3, 2013July 4, 2015 by directpath

There are always the hopes of a fresh beginning at the start of the New Year. It is interesting why we feel that way because is starts with the number one. Why not start on a birthday?

Start on any given day ...

I’ve so enjoyed working with you!

Ron, I have so enjoyed working with you with hypnosis. Your work is very powerful and feels lasting. I appreciate the work you put into planning our sessions so they are personalized to my needs! Thanks so much!

Maureen

Amazing and gifted hypnotherapist

Ron is an amazing and gifted hypnotherapist. He is knowledgeable, empathic, and intuitive and connects emotionally right away.
I felt very supported and understood by Ron and I am happy to say that with his support, my improved self-confidence, faith and a positive outlook are the benefits of hypnosis and inspiration for me in creating a new beginning in life. Thank you Ron, I really believe you were put in my life for a reason.

Bonnie

Never could have done it without Ron!

Ron has been an absolute joy to work with. When I came in with my problems, he was open minded and extremely positive, helping me on the road to my recovery. With his help and 3 hypno sessions later, I have managed to overcome my bad habits and have begun a happier, more open and increasingly fantastic lifestyle!

Kate

Changed my life!

Went to Ron for Hypno-Band Hypnosis. That’s the process of going through like a Gastric-Bypass, except just in your mind. It’s the less invasive method to surgery. Since I’ve been obese my whole life, I was thinking of surgery for myself, but didn’t like all the awful side-effects I was seeing my friends endure (IBS, malnutrition, intestinal issues, etc.). Since having hypno-band, I’ve become a Vegan (NEVER would have thought I could give up meat, let alone cheese!), stay away from sugar and carbs and have started a healthy exercise regime! I’m so pleased with how effortless this has all been and am ecstatic to have found this company. You won’t find a more generous team–Tamara and Ron go above and beyond for my success and they really care!

1) How do I know I can be hypnotized?

Almost everyone can be hypnotized. The very few exceptions are people under the influence of drugs or alcohol and the severely mentally challenged. Such people may not be able to concentrate and follow directions. If you have ever driven on the highway and passed your exit without realizing it, you are an excellent candidate for hypnosis.

2) Will I do tricks or quack like a duck?

NO! That type of entertainment “hypnosis” is strictly designed for shows and movies. The hypnotic techniques used in our sessions are serious and designed to effectively change your habits to make a new you.

3) Will I know what is happening during hypnosis?

Yes, you will know. You will be conscious, aware and in control at all times. But you will be in a relaxed, pleasant state of concentrated hypnosis that directly affects your subconscious and conscious minds. You will remember all that has occurred after hypnosis and feel relaxed, refreshed and alert.

4) If I am skeptical and strong-willed, can I still be hypnotized?

Most definitely, yes. It is always better to engage with a positive attitude, but the hypnotic techniques used to help you have convinced even our most critical skeptics of their effectiveness.

5) How does hypnosis work?

Hypnosis is designed to eliminate negative habits or reactions. This could be impulsive/compulsive eating, smoking, fears and phobias, anxiety, etc. The suggestions given during hypnosis puts in place specific positive behaviors that allow you to make the changes you want to have in your life.

6) What things do you do hypnosis for?

Most situations can benefit from hypnosis. Building self-confidence for any task; dementia related anxiety can be soothed; habits can be overcome by empowerment; changing emotions related to early life experiences. Hypnosis is YOU changing YOUR mind's program to what you choose rather than old programming controlling your behaviors.
