As a Hypnotherapist, Certified Life Coach, NLP – Practitioner, and Certified Substance Abuse Disorder Professional, I have witnessed many changes in the field and how clients are treated and helped to develop ways of overcoming unhelpful and consequence filled coping mechanisms. During the last several years I have watched as old ideas of treating symptoms have been replaced by methods that treat the underlying causes, and helping clients to achieve calm, relaxed, life styles that they have been seeking.

Due to the recent social isolation, and physical illness that have come with the world wide pandemic, I have been receiving more and more requests from clients regarding addictions, anxiety, and stress, and better coping mechanisms. The joke that I have heard over and over again is how Wine / alcohol is the glue that held 2020 together. Now that joke is coming to roost as many clients are now struggling with drinking less,  smoking less, and being able to control their symptoms of anxiety, stress, and the resulting inflammation, and pain.

More and more clients are seeking assistance through Hypnosis, one of the fastest growing and most effective ways of dealing with their problems. Hypnosis is swiftly replacing standard Talk Therapy, and offering concrete tools and techniques that they can start using immediately. They are amazed and happy, that when they come to Foundations Medical Hypnosis and Life Coaching they discover that we are NOT are thoughts, we are NOT our emotions, but we are instead the Master of our Thoughts, the Master of our Emotions. They learn ways of changing their thinking and thus changing their lives, through the process of Awareness, and Mindfulness.

Through the power of Hypnosis, and Self Meditation, clients are taught the coping mechanisms of Awareness and Mindfulness, of how our bodies and brains work in unison to protect us.  Clients learn how our brains, our EGOs automatically judge situations and events in an effort to make sure that we remain safe. Our Ego, our brains, automatically tap into our nervous system with thoughts and images that we have been programmed with since our earliest moments in life, including our time in the womb, and in some theories, even thoughts and images that we received in past lives or incarnations.  We have been lead to believe that every thought and image that we have accepted and been programmed with are absolutely true, and if we don’t act upon them, we could suffer danger, on both the physical and emotional levels.

The truth is that We are NOT our Thoughts, We are NOT our Emotions. We respond to these thoughts and emotions without any conscious awareness, but true freedom occurs when We learn and are taught how WE have the ability to pick and choose which of those thoughts and emotions we are going to respond to. With the power of Hypnosis,  you will learn to unlock your ability to pick and choose which thoughts you are going to allow yourself to respond to.  Just by picking and choosing which thoughts and emotions we respond to, our lives change quickly and positively.

I have had clients who have quit using drugs, food, alcohol, and nicotine with very little effort and within just a few sessions.  After several years I have been contact with those same clients, and have been gratified to hear them talk about how they have never returned to their old coping mechanisms.

As the world continues to deal with Covid -19 and we are told to be sure and wear a mask when with others, and also to keep social distance from others, this increasing isolation leads to  anxiety stress, anger, and PTSD issues, while many people are experiencing multiple increases in addiction issues. It has been reported that drug and alcohol addiction is on the rise during this world wide pandemic, and deaths from drug and alcohol misuse are on the rise.

People are turning more and more to self care and healthy behaviors. Such things as Yoga, walking, meditation, and self hypnosis are being sought to help daily life, relaxation, and focus.

I have noted that more and more people are ordering MP3(s) that are created to help them reach deeper and deeper states of relaxation and meditation.

While these products are incredible powerful and do help you, the client, to achieve your goals, I would like to be able to teach the client how to utilize powerful, safe, and effective exercises that lead to mindfulness, meditation, and self hypnosis as a part of their daily lives.  The best way to do that is with 1:1 Hypnosis and Life Coaching.

I recently started working with a client who  is battling alcohol addiction. With the aide of 1:1 Zoom Sessions and downloading appropriate MP3(s), he reports that he is feeling better, and that his friends and partner are telling him that he presents as calmer and more focused when they talk with him.

I look forward to the time when people can get together in a safe and healthy way, but right now a lot of people are trying to follow healthy guidelines and practices, which include limiting contacts with other people, please think about how many people are now participating in many medical appointments long distance. through Zoom.

Call now for a free consultation and receive the tools and techniques that will allow you to live a calmer, healthier, and productive life.

The thing that both Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy have in common, is that they focus on the solution, not on the porblem.  It was Albert Einstein who stated that you can not solve the problem at the level of the problem. Hypnotherpy utilizes specific techniques that help a client to let go of shame and guilt, and eliminates such condtions as anxiety, depression, PTSD.

There are many misunderstandings about Hypnotherapy, and Mindfulness. I have many clients who come to me in hopes of having me put them into a trance and then, as if they were given a magical bullet, they were hoping that the problem(s) or issue(s) would go away.

What they find is that by utilizing Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness, they are able to let go of the emotions associated with their issue(s), without the use of medicine, and with out years of talk therapy.  Instead they are taught simple techiqnes that put them in charge of their life, and in charge of the thoughts and feelings that create that life.

A great example are clients who come to see me for smoking cessation. Instead of drugs that create serious side effects, they are taught techiques that come from within themselves. They are taught how to eliminate thoughts and cravings by becoming Mindful and aware of, and using the very thing that caused the addiction, or behavior, in the first place, their Thoughts and Emotions.

Another example can be found in clients who are seeking to reduce or eliminate stress and anxiety in their lives. Once again, by becoming Mindful and aware of the very thing that caused the issue in the first place, their own Thoughts and Emotions, they are taught how easy it can be to reduce and eliminate Stress from their lives, and start living a peaceful, happy and successful life they have always dreamed of.

Call now, discover the power and strength that can allow you to move ahead in life. Whether your issue is addictive behavior, stress, anxiety, lack of abundance, wanting a career change, or just waking up in a better mood, you can find your answers here.

Well let me tell you, the issue is not that there is anything wrong with you, you are perfectly fine, your brain is working perfectly fine, just the way that it was designed to work in fact. The problem is, what you are allowing yourself to focus on.

Most of us were taught to believe that we are our thoughts. Rene Descartes, the Christian Mystic, coined the phrase, “I think, therefore I am”!  The truth of the matter is that  your brain thinks, because that is what it is suppose to do. Our brains are what allow us to exist, and function on a daily basis. It runs our physical body, our heart, our internal functions, everything we need to live. It also has thousands and thousands of thoughts each day, thoughts based on lies and falsehoods that we have been trained to believe throughout the course of lives. The brain is one of the most incredible an sophisticated computers in existence, without it you could not live in this physical realm of time, space, and matter. The brain takes in thousands of bits of information and ideas on a daily basis and it interprets those bits of information and messages based on the information and messages that make up your basic program. If your brain, like most, was trained to look for the negative, to gossip, and make assumptions, then this leads to anxiety, and to stress. Your brain is working perfectly fine, as they say in the computer field, the hardware is running great, it is the software that needs to be changed. From the time you were a small child, your brain has been filled with images, messages, and lies that keep  you reacting with STRESS, and  ANXIETY, to the world around you. This is the brains basic programming.  BUT!!!! the brain is not you. You are the life force, the energy, the soul, the chi, the prana, that exist, behind it all. You are in control, not your brain.

As I describe it to my clients, think of yourself as driving a car. Think about getting into the car, turning the car on, putting the car into gear, taking the brake off, and then getting out of the car. What would happen to the car? The Car would starting moving around until it runs into something or gets into some type of wreak.

Now think of your body as the chassis to the car, the brain as the engine to the car, but where is the driver?

Most of us think of the brain as being who they are. We have allowed our selves to sit back and let the engine do the driving, putting the car into a form of auto pilot. We just sit back and give up true control.

What if you were to learn how to take control, what if you were to learn how to focus, and start directing our daily lives, our goals, our plans, and our dreams. Think about it, you are in complete and total control of yourself, and your reactions. While there may be things like random events and there may be random people that come into your life, you have NO control over these events or people. You do have COMPLETE Control over your reactions and your attitudes. This is the gift you were given when you were born into this world, complete and total free will, to react, behave, and live out your life. Why not live your life with a minimum of anxiety, and / or stress.

You can spend your life focusing on all the negatives, you can spend your life reacting to all of the seemingly random events in your life, or you can TAKE CONTROL, you can use your mind, instead of it using you. Just by taking control of what you focus on, you will be amazed at the things you can accomplish. Quit Smoking, Quit Addictive behaviors and substances. Attract and sustain better and healthier relationships. Reduce depression, anxiety, and stress.

Don’t delay; call Foundations Hypnosis Seattle / Shoreline, and  “Everett”, (206) 417-4900 today. You WILL be glad that you did.

The post The Truth About Addiction, What are You Really Addicted To? appeared first on Hypnotherapy North Seattle | Everett Counseling | Hypnotherapist Shoreline | Stop Smoking Hypnosis.

Welcome back. It has been a busy couple of months here in North Seattle, and I have been kept very busy, using my skills and talents working in the field of mental health and substance abuse, trying to learn new ways of helping people over come major issues in their lives, and helping them find new avenues to achieve their goals, hopes, and dreams. I have learned some new ideas, and have had old ideas reaffirmed, and am still utilizing these ideas in the best way possible to create the best new hypnotic treatments and cutting edge Mental Health, and Substance Addiction treatments for my clients. As always my work and research keep coming back to my passion, the field of substance abuse, and hypnosis.

Drugs and compulsive behaviors are an emotional anesthetic, an antidote to a frightful feeling of emptiness. While hypnosis and NLP can not promise a cure for the desease model of chemical dependency, it does provide a way to detach from emotional issues that keep pulling a person back to their compulsive behaviors, and addictions, (whether that be nicotine, alcohol, stimulants, or depressants), in spite of the consequences to your health, your relationships, and your job. Foundation Hypnosis and NLP, North Seattle, helps you to uncover the demons that have been plaguing you and causing you to relay on unhealthy habits, and behaviors, and teaches you new behaviors, and new skills, to help you move ahead in life, and achieve your goals and dreams.

Ask yourself this question: if my compulsive behavior is causing me problems with relationships, my job, and my health, why do I keep chosen to repeat the same action over and over again, and expect a different result? We are creatures of habit. Think about that, we have daily routines, and daily habits, that we have been performing for years, without given it a second thought.

When you wake up in the morning you stumble out of bed, hop in the shower, grab a cup of coffee, turn on the news, get dressed, and quickly head out the door. You don’t have to think about it, it just comes automatically, and without any conscious thought. After several repetitions, your subconscious accepts the new programming, and takes control. In fact that habit becomes so ingrained, so powerful, that you actually feel a sensation of stress and anxiety if you don’t perform the programmed behavior.

The same is true of your other habits and other behaviors. Whether it be smoking, drinking, procrastination, inpatients, angry outbursts, gambling, compulsive behaviors such as eating, smoking, negative thinking, worry, judgments, and taking things personal, they are all pretty automatic, and seemingly impossible to stop.

Hypnosis works by implanting new healthy habits into your subconscious, but before it can do that it is important to clear out the emotions attached to old memories, and images. It is a lot like preparing the soil when you plant new seeds. You want to get rid of the weeds, and debris that have kept the seeds from taking hold.

From the very first session, Foundations Hypnosis and NLP of North Seattle, Shoreline, and Everett, utilizes a unique therapeutic tool called Emotional Release Therapy, that reduces and eliminates anxiety, and stress. The client is also taught easy methods of self hypnosis, and mindfulness that clean up the old feelings of low self worth, low self esteem, negativity, and emotional trauma, in much the same way that you have to clean and fertilize the soil before you start planting new seeds. At the second session, the client is then ready to have new strong, positive, healthy behaviors implanted into the subconscious level of their brain.

Just listen to what one recent client had to say:

“After just the first session I found myself able to focus on my school work, finish projects that I would have normally put off tell the last minute, and find time to actually relax and enjoy myself without the stress and worry of things undone. On top of all of that I am able to get rid of headaches by just practicing my daily exercises, and listening to the hypnotic CD(s) provided as a part of the service. Thanks Foundations, I feel great”

The post Treating Addictions with Hypnosis appeared first on Hypnotherapy North Seattle | Everett Counseling | Hypnotherapist Shoreline | Stop Smoking Hypnosis.

When a client calls my office, Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Everett, I am often hit with a barrage of questions such as, does Hypnosis work?  Can I be hypnotized? Can hypnosis make me stop smoking? Can I lose weight using hypnosis?  I feel stuck; I have low self worth can hypnosis make my life better? I have a problem sleeping, can you hypnotize me and make me sleep better. I am experiencing coming out issues, can hypnosis help? I am addicted to alcohol, can hypnosis make me stop drinking, or can hypnosis make me stop using drugs?

I am elated that the person has called Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Shoreline Lynwood Everett, and is seeking a way to stop their use of behaviors and / or substances that are causing them such problems in their lives. I am also cautious to explain in simply language that Hypnosis cannot make them do anything.

I have worked in the counseling field for over twenty years, I have discovered a few truths along the way, but none as helpful and exciting as the idea that NO!!!  HYPNOSIS CAN NOT MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING!  If it were that simple, then I would have long ago cured the ills of society and would have retired somewhere down in the tropics with a sizeable bank account and a bigger smile on my face than I already have.

Hypnosis is one of the most effective and powerful tools in my arsenal to help people create change in their lives. With the aid of hypnosis you can eliminate the effects of fears, phobias, addictive behaviors, PTSD(s), chronic pain, sleep disorders, depression, anger, and anxiety. You can actually eliminate nicotine, and other drugs, from your life forever, but if you want to know whether Hypnosis can MAKE these changes occur, the answer is NO.

First off you have to really want to make the changes that you are seeking. Once you have decided, I mean really decided to make these changes, you have won half the battle. The other half is in making a plan, choosing a way of getting to your goal. Hypnosis is one of the best ways of allowing yourself an effective, powerful, and long term solution to achieving your goal.

When I first started out in the field of hypnosis, I did so to help people deal with stress, and anxiety. I wanted to give people a way of dealing with pain and physical illnesses. Once I was trained in the ability to hypnotize people, I soon discovered that I needed a lot more than just one technique, one type of therapy, to help people deal with the types of problems I mentioned above.

Over the years I put myself through school, received a degree in social and human services, became a Chemical Dependency Counselor, and learned even stronger and more specific techniques, such as Dialectic Behavior, (which utilizes Mindfulness), Nero Linguistic Programming, and Emotional Release Therapy, which incorporates some of the most advance research available to help people actually change their brain wave patterns and eliminate the physical effects of stress, and trauma. Even with these tools and techniques I can never lie to a client and tell them that Hypnosis will make them do anything.

The proper use of Hypnosis can help them, and will almost guarantee that they are going to achieve their goals, but it is the client themselves who must utilize the tools, it is the client themselves who must do the work to get to where they want to go. Hiring a trained hypnotherapist and qualified counselor is like hiring a trained guide to get you through the wilderness or jungle. You may be able to eventually make it through the wilderness or jungle on your own, but fast, effective, powerful results can be increased by hiring the right aid.

When you come to Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Shoreline Everett, you will discover that you will be taught these powerful tools and powerful aids, such as Self Hypnosis, Mindfulness, NLP, and Emotional Release Therapy, and you will be taught these tools in just a few short sessions so that you can move on with your life, without having to return to your therapist on a weekly basis for the rest of your life. In fact, with Foundations Hypnosis Seattle, you will discover that you can actually acquire the same powerful results by coming to your few sessions every other week, instead of ever week, (this bi –weekly schedule is much easier on the pocket book).

So if you are ready to finally make the changes in your life that you have dreamed about, then CALL Foundations Hypnosis, (206) 417-4900 NOW!!!!!  Foundations  is located in the north end of Seattle right off the freeway, just minutes from down town Seattle, Everett, or The East Side.  There are night time, and limited weekend appointments available and results are seen after just one session.  There are also special discounts for Smoking Cessation clients.
