My Approach

Techniques I Use to Address the Root Cause

Addressing an individual’s symptoms and issues at the source of the problem may be more effective in resolving symptoms long-term than addressing negative thinking patterns or behaviors alone.

A more thorough holistic resolution of symptoms and issues may include:

Addressing and processing the emotions related to incidents and traumas that originally initiated and contributed to the client’s symptoms and behaviors.
Reprogramming traumatic memories and incidents in the subconscious mind through HMR, visualization, hypnosis techniques, along with other methods that can process negative emotions.
Replacing negative beliefs that may be contributing to self-defeating behaviors. Negative beliefs reside in the subconscious mind and may significantly influence the conscious mind, behaviors, success, etc., contributing to negative thinking, self-esteem issues, limited success, relationship issues, etc.

Techniques Used in Sessions

HMR – Holographic Memory Resolution

HMR is a therapeutic technique that accesses repressed trauma, reframes the trauma in the client’s subconscious mind, and releases the emotion(s) associated with the trauma. “Safe place” may be used for added support.

Hypnotherapy Techniques

Hypnotherapy techniques may be used to reinforce positive beliefs, goals, and visualizations, access client’s “safe place” or inner child. Often practiced in a “light” state of hypnosis for relaxation/receptivity.

Visualization Techniques

Visualization techniques may be used during a session or by the client at home to reinforce new beliefs, goals, support inner child work, prepare for a challenging situation or event, counter chronic negative beliefs/images, etc.

EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques

EFT is a versatile method that may be used to clear emotions and beliefs in “stable” clients. Client “taps” their fingers on specific acupressure/energy points in their body to release repressed emotions.

Safe Place/Inner Child

Safe Place can be used during a session as a refuge for processing intense trauma, or just for added client relaxation and support. Inner child visualization is used to address negative effects/beliefs from childhood.

Circular Breathing

A relaxed, circular breathing method while focused on body responses that allows the client to access emotions and body sensations that surface as the body relaxes and allows emotional energy to gently release.

“

By creating images in your mind, you can reduce pain and other symptoms tied to your condition. The more specific the visualization, the more helpful it will likely be. People are taught to imagine sights, sounds, smells, tastes, or other sensations to create a kind of daydream that "removes" them from or gives them control over their present circumstances.
Johns Hopkins Medicine

“

HMR induces an Alpha-Theta brainwave state that lets the conscious mind relax - thereby preventing a re-live of the original pain while raising the subconscious mind to Theta - providing enhanced visual and sensory access to repressed imagery.
