HYPNOTHERAPY & COACHING DISCLOSURE FORM

Hypnotherapy amd mind-body coaching (including dream work, parts work, etc.) can help clients calm their nervous system, achieve freedom from restrictive thoughts, beliefs, rumination, intrusive thoughts, and unwanted behavior patterns, as well as improve or obtain complete resolution of conditions that are neuroplastic in nature such as chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, and other chronic health conditions. This work can also help cultivate inner resources for problem solving, achieving goals, restoring the authentic self, and fulfilling potential. The therapeutic use of hypnotherapy and mind-body coaching can elicit information and insights from the deeper mind, and utilize the power of one’s inner creative resources. The practitioner utilizes information gathering, discussion, and methods dealing with underlying issues whenever appropriate, with the goal of achieving effective and lasting results.

Hypnotherapy involves a relaxed mental state, similar to meditation, daydreaming, or being absorbed in a book or movie. Many people experience a deep sense of calm, mental clarity, relaxation, and an enhanced ability to vividly imagine or visualize scenarios. In this state, we have access to a part of our mind that is open to ideas and solutions. The client's attention is focused inward, while they remain aware of what is going on in the world around them.

Coaching involves partnership between the practitioner and the client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to fulfill their potential, gain self-understanding and insight, live authentically, examine and potentially re-write life scripts, improve relationships and communication skills, practice self-care, and set healthy boundaries. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional, relationship, or life goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals. Mind-body coaching integrates tools such as somatic tracking, parts work, dream work, and other methods that engage both the mind and the body, the conscious and subconscious mind. 

Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing their own physical, mental, and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results arising out of or resulting from the hypnotherapist/coach and client relationship. Hypnosis and coaching are non-diagnostic, and are not a substitute for medical treatment, but a complimentary modality that engages the mind, body, and spirit for optimal healing, performance, and well-being.
