What Are Sessions Like?
If you already know about my philosophy on healing, you know that I believe that healing does not have to be painful. Yes, sometimes we will visit "charged" memories, but my ultimate agenda is to have you walk out feeling peaceful and somehow freer than when you walked in.
Your agenda is my agenda. I will do my utmost to give you exactly what you want. Sometimes I may suggest what I think an underlying issue might be, but if you tell me, no, Stephanie, I don't want to work on that, we won't work on it. Until you are ready.
Sessions with me are casual and comfortable. My treatment room with attached bathroom are decorated in soft-soothing colors of pink, blue, lavender, and purple. If you enjoy them, I will light candles (I have many) and fountains, of which I have three. We are planning a waterfall in the back eventually, perhaps in about a month (of this writing April, 21, 2005).
My dog likes to visit during sessions. She will typically lie down behind my chair and not make a peep. She is a big dog - a 75 pound lab mix, but she's very intuitive as to what is going on the session, I believe she is a great healer, herself. Even though she is pretty shy, she loves it when people have just been hypnotized and she will come up to you after I bring you out of trance to kiss you on the hand. If you are uncomfortable with dogs, just tell me. We can do one of two things about that: 1) I will help you get over your discomfort, or 2) I will put her in another room.
Having filled out your intake form, I will read it and ask you any questions that I might have about it. You will get to know me, and I will get to know you. I will ask you questions, and do a thorough intake. Typically in a first session, I will want to teach you EFT (www.emofree.com). This technique is like emotional acupuncture, without the needles. It is a way for you to learn how to help yourself! It is good for all negative emotions, non-serving beliefs, and many physical pains that have an emotional component. I will hypnotize you so that you begin to learn what the hypnotic process is all about. Typically we won't do any deep work, because you need to get used to being hypnotized, this is why I will give you a cd or tape to listen to in the coming week. This cd or tape is me doing hypnotic relaxation. It is designed to help you get used to relaxing to the sound of my voice. Sometimes, if you are a great trance subject, we might do deep healing work, but only if you are a natural somnambulist. About 20% of the population falls into this category. The other exception is if you have done a lot of hypnosis (then you are used to the process). But again, I am very flexible, and I want you to have your agenda fulfilled, so I will endeavor to help you fulfill it! Typically, I will see you once a week, until you feel you are done with your issues or inspiration. It is very common, however, for folks to want to come back and see me perhaps once a month or once every two months for refreshers. Hypnosis feels great, and it is nice to be listened to. Folks love coming to see me! And I love seeing my clients!
Each session that you come and see me, you will tell me what you wish to work on that day, we will go over the preceding time period to see how you are doing, and to see if you need a refresher in any area. What is interesting is that as you go along, you might discover things you would like to work on. Typically, I will see folks anywhere from three to twelve sessions depending on the issues you are trying to resolve, your willingness to be a part of the healing process, and how good of a trance subject you are. There are a LOT of variables. At some point, if you would like me to, I would like to teach you how to hypnotize yourself, too! This is another way that you can learn to help yourself.
I am more than happy to talk to you with absolutely no strings attached. I am here to serve you... you are the boss.
