Compassionate Hypnotherapy Services

Hypnosis is a natural state of being. During hypnosis, you allow your mind and body to relax and receive messages and tools to help you overcome obstacles and/or move towards goals. This can be a powerful experience for people - and at the same time it can be so relaxing!

Subconscious does NOT equal unconscious! So, what is Hypnotherapy? Erin's trainer, Dr. Rick Boyes, Founder and Director, National Association of Clinical Hypnotherapy, puts it this way:

"Let’s take the mystery out of hypnosis. It is a completely natural state of mind. Although you may not have been formally hypnotized before, you have experienced this state of mind countless times. You’ll understand that better when you know what it is that really happens in your mind during hypnosis.

For the moment, imagine dividing your mind into two parts. One is the conscious mind, those things you are fully aware of and focusing on at any given moment, and the second is the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind works like a giant tape recorder. Every good or traumatic experience we’ve ever had in our lives is permanently stored there. Of course, it would be too much trivia to be constantly aware of, so you can think of it as a filing system that is accessible to us with hypnosis and other methods.

The subconscious mind also controls those bodily functions over which we do not need to exercise conscious control like heart rate, breathing, digestion, and so forth. With practice, you can gain the ability to bring many of these “involuntary” bodily functions under your voluntary control.

Imagine, if you will, a filter, screen, or network which lies over the subconscious mind. I will call it the critical factor. You can think of it as a kind of protective mechanism so that every single thing we are exposed to does not become accepted as truth by the subconscious mind and become acted upon. In hypnosis, we are purposely bypassing the critical factor of the mind so that ideas that are beneficial to us can make a deep and lasting impression on the subconscious mind. In hypnosis, the critical factor of the mind merely becomes less active through a variety of methods, but it never disappears. It is simply less active, and it will return to full activity should any suggestion be presented which your mind did not deem to be in its best interest. You are not a blank slate in hypnosis, and you will not accept just any suggestion which is presented.

Think about some time when you were watching a sad movie, and maybe you were crying or at least feeling some emotions were coming up. The critical factor was still active enough that you knew it was just a movie, and yet it wasn’t bombarding you with interfering thoughts like “Why are you crying? This lady is not dead. You saw her on the Today Show this morning.” And yet, if your partner taps you on the shoulder and asks you if you want some popcorn, you can turn and respond and then instantly return to the movie and be right back into it again. We go into and out of our subconscious mind all day long. Every time we are involved in some creative endeavor, every time we daydream, every time we get wrapped up in our emotions, every time we drive along in our car and suddenly realize we don’t remember the last mile we drove, every time we are acting out of some previously formed habit.

It is estimated that we spend between 50 and 80% of our waking hours in our subconscious minds. I like to remind people that when we enter into that state of mind we call hypnosis, that we are not going into uncharted territory where no human has ever set foot before. It is a common and completely natural state of mind that we have all experienced countless times before; we just didn’t call it hypnosis."
