It's time for you to move in a clear direction with a clear destination. With this hypnotherapy program, every day will bring you closer to your goal while you enjoy the process more than you thought possible. GET STARTED NOW BOOK A FREE EVALUATION TARGET A GOAL LEVERAGE THE POWER OF HYPNOSIS Sometimes we reach a point in our lives, where we know deep down that something has to change. We either need to up our game if we want to advance on our current path or choose a different path that suits us more. You may be experiencing a lack of fullfillment at work, or have dreams that you'd love to realize but you can't seem to get started. Maybe you have a skill you're really good at, but seem to have reached a plateau. Maybe you just feel plain stuck and you're not sure why. Guess what? You have a secret superpower. It's your unconscious, your "deeper mind." The neurological processes that run in the background 24/7 below your conscious awareness. Most of the time when you make a decision, you have a gut feeling about it, right? That's the deeper mind bringing something to your conscious awareness. The more we pay attention to these messages, the more we can leverage them. These are clues and opportunities you can use to reach your goal. DISCOVER YOUR PATH UNCONSCIOUS RESOURCES ACT WITH CONFIDENCE Your brain is constantly receiving sensory input, making connections and making calculations. Conscious awareness has a limited capacity for simultaneous processing, so the brain filters out things deemed by past experience to be impossible, inconsistent with your belief system or not essential to your survival and well-being. An enormous amount of information remains outside of conscious awareness by default all the time. It's a survival mechanism and it works. This narrowing of awareness makes it possible for us to adapt to the fast pace of modern life, but it also makes it easy to get stuck with limited possibilities. Especially problematic for our personal development are limiting beliefs that filter out possibilities before we can truly consider them. I can help you break through the limiting and outdated beliefs that may be holding you back. Hypnosis can stimulate awareness of new possibilities, while coaching and cognitive skill-building will help you put them into action. All of this will give you a feeling of regaining control, of being back in the drivers seat with a tremendous sense of confidence and empowerment. Our hypnotherapy sessions will help you move in a clear direction with a clear destination. Every day bringing you closer to your goal while you enjoy the process more than you thought possible. Guess what? You have a secret superpower...your deeper mind.

LEARN MORE CONTACT GARY THERAPEUTIC LANGUAGE FOR MEDICAL AND DENTAL PROFESSIONALS Learn language patterns that can increase treatment effectiveness, lead to greater patient satisfaction and generate more referrals. Doctors, dentists, office staff and other medical professionals can increase their effectiveness and patient satisfaction through the skillful use of therapeutic language. As a medical professional, you are viewed as an authority figure by your patients and as such you are in a position to deliver suggestions that can have a powerful effect. The language you use with your patients has a tremendous impact. Every day is busy in the medical world and after repeating the same materials many times over, office staff and even doctors often take it for granted that patients will understand the good intentions behind their words. Unfortunately these brief exchanges are sometimes misinterpreted and may have an effect that actually makes your job harder and more stressful and your work less effective. Research shows that the mindset of a patient can have a huge impact on the outcome of any medical treatment. More and more medical professionals are becoming aware of the tremendous benefits good therapeutic communication provides. It can provide more patient comfort, less need for supplementary medications, and a feeling of empowerment and participation. It can also have a major positive impact on outcome and recovery time which leads to greater patient satisfaction, more referrals and fewer problems. The mindset of a patient can have a huge impact on the outcome of any medical treatment. Here's how I can help you develop powerful therapeutic language skills: Options for a Medical Office 1.

Fear is a powerful emotion that often serves a useful purpose as an effective survival mechanism. But there are fears that can become unreasonable and irrational. They serve no useful purpose and can make it hard for you to do the things you want to do. The response can seem automatic and out of your control. The good news is you can get rid of the automatic response very quickly under the right circumstances--and our hypnosis sessions will provide those circumstances. GET STARTED NOW BOOK A FREE EVALUATION GET RID OF IRRATIONAL FEARS AND ANXIETY WITH HYPNOSIS Fear is a powerful emotion that often serves a useful purpose. It's an effective survival mechanism. It makes us aware that a potential threat might be close by. When we have a healthy relationship to fear, we can allow it to serve this protective function and sometimes let it motivate us or inspire us to do something great, to stretch our boundaries. But there is a different experience of fear that serves no useful purpose and might be diminishing your quality of life. These are fears that become unreasonable and irrational. They can make it hard for you to do the things you want to do. These types of fears can include: unreasonable fear of driving, of plane flights, of crossing bridges, of enclosed spaces, of elevators, public speaking, spiders, heights, social situations, musical performance, abandonment-- the list goes on. Why do we develop these fears? Typically, when something threatening happens you have a reaction. If the emotional charge is strong enough, your brain takes a "snapshot" of that threat and from that point on, anything that remotely resembles it will trigger an automatic response. Sometimes it's a series of similar events rather than one event that results in the automatic response. SOLIDIFY THE CHANGE DEPOTENTIATE THE RESPONSE EMPOWERMENT The amazing thing about these fears is that they illustrate the power of your brain to learn and respond without your conscious intervention. But the good news is that you can get rid of the automatic response very quickly under the right circumstances--and our hypnosis sessions will provide those circumstances. We'll work together to dissolve the negative responses and create positive, empowering responses instead. If irrational fear and anxiety is interrupting the flow of your life and there's no positive purpose to it, why keep it? Now is a great time to let it go. You can get rid of the automatic response very quickly under the right circumstances--and our hypnosis sessions will provide those circumstances.

Getting into a "flow" state is the key to both excellence and enjoyment of your performances. Entering and maintaining this state is very much like practicing a martial art.  It's a balance beween effort and letting go, between relaxation and power. Hypnotherapy can help you achieve this balance and allow your performances to soar. to new heights. BOOK A FREE EVALUATION GET STARTED NOW PERFORMING ARTS MAGIC PERFORM AT YOUR BEST Participating in any of the performing arts can be a thrill. When things are really working, we feel an amazing connection with others. A great performance can evoke inspiration, insight, and cathartic release. The audience and the performer become completely immersed in the experience. Of course all of this doesn't happen by just snapping your fingers! We start by learning the basic skills like instrumental technique, vocal delivery, or acting technique. We practice and practice, and practice. Eventually, the techniques become somewhat automatic which allows us to put our attention on higher-level considerations like interpretation and expression. And that's when we can take things to the next level. The technique begins to flow naturally in whatever way is needed to deliver the artistic result we want. The performances start to become artistic expression rather than merely execution. AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION FLOW STATE BULLETPROOF STRATEGIES Maintaining this "flow" is the key to both excellence and enjoyment of your performances. Entering and maintaining it is very much like practicing a martial art. We need a balance beween effort and letting go. Between focus and letting the imagination roam, between relaxation and power, Sometimes rigorous training and other pressures can complicate our ability to achieve and maintain this balance. Habits of overthinking, anxiety, and muscular tension can creep in, especially if you've gone through many auditions, had a bad performing experience, or spent a lot of time in environments that are extremely competitive. And it's not only professional performers that can experience this loss of flow. Performers of any age and any level of experience can put a lot of pressure on themselves and it can interfere with their enjoyment as well as their performance. It's a common issue. You're not alone. I've been performing music professionally for many years, and believe me, I've been there. Performance anxiety sucks. But there's good news! There's no need to suffer with it any longer. You can turn this around faster than you think. In our hypnosis sessions we'll use many innovative techniques that can free you from blocks and uncomfortable feelings. Through targeted hypnosis, coaching and cognitive skill-building you'll gain the ability to access a flow state with just the right balance of relaxation, excitement, power. and focus. By aligning your unconscious and conscious responses, you’ll feel so much more relaxed and confident in these situations, and your performances will soar. You'll feel so much more relaxed and confident and your performances will soar.

We all feel stress at times. It's part of being human. But the stress response can be harmful if it occurs for an extended period of time with no physical or emotional outlet to release it. Hypnotherapy will give you a chance to relax and release stress. You'll have the opportunity to restore your inner resources while you heal and renew your outlook. GET STARTED NOW BOOK A FREE EVALUATION STRESS RELIEF RELAX AND RECHARGE WITH HYPNOTHERAPY We all feel stress at times. It's part of being human. It's a natural warning system, a powerful protective mechanism that's helped us survive and evolve as a species. Stress occurs when you're faced with a challenging situation and the body activates certain resources, releasing chemicals into the blood to help you. These chemicals can trigger a faster heart rate, alertness, and muscles fully prepared for action. This state can be very beneficial for a short time if you’re in genuine danger. A little bit of stress can also be good in short-term situations like public speaking, sports, or the performing arts where you can use the energy and alertness to improve your performance. But the stress response can work against you if sparked by needless worry or anxiety over a longer period of time with no direct physical or emotional outlet to release it. RELAX, RELEASE & RESET SELF DISCOVERY INSPIRED INSIGHTS Our hypnotherapy sessions will give you a chance to take a hypnotic vacation. To relax and restore your inner resources. We'll open the door to your "deeper mind" which can offer you valuable perspective and comfort. You can let go of emotional baggage and have some inspired insights. You may discover adjustments you could make for a more harmonious life. These adjustments could involve external factors like your environment and certain situations or internal factors like the meanings you attach to things. During the hypnotherapy sessions, you'll take time for yourself and re-discover what is truly important to you. You'll realize that your emotional state does not need to be subject to the random influence of events, circumstances and other people. By focusing on what you want and letting go of other distractions, you'll feel better and be able to achieve more than you thought possible. And you'll enjoy the adventure!
