When I first started out as a Certified Hypnotherapist in Los Angeles, I used to see my clients for 1-hour sessions for an average of 6 consecutive weeks. This addressed their “presenting” issue or the issue that prompted them to come see me. So… if, for example, someone wanted to release the fear of flying in an airplane, that enabled them to fly in a relaxed state moving forward.

However, that client might still have related fear of elevators, social anxiety and many other negative emotions and limiting beliefs in the way of their happiness. I soon realized that whatever a client came to see me for was only the tip of the proverbial iceberg and the greatest mass was still beneath the surface. 

I further realized that there are interconnected neural pathways within all of us that anchor unwanted behaviors and thoughts from many angles. In other words, you might think of our subconscious minds as a spider’s web… if you break a few connections in the web, there are still many, many connections that keep that spider’s web stuck to the wall or ceiling. So, if we want to get rid of certain thoughts and behaviors, we need to remove all of it.

I wanted to offer my clients a “super-charged” session that facilitated many life-altering breakthroughs during our first meeting. A year into my practice, I realized that the missing ingredient was NLP Coaching. 

I needed to become trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) coaching techniques in order to have a more holistic approach to healing my clients. To continue with the above example, I began to help release not just fear of flying for clients, but the ROOT cause of all fear. This was the game changer!

I began to offer one very intense and focused 4-hour breakthrough session combining the best hypnotherapy and NLP Coaching techniques to do a “life-reboot.” Two 1-hour follow-up sessions in subsequent weeks continue to release nuances of negative thoughts and beliefs that may remain and set the stage for a future filled with endless possibilities. The results were remarkable.

4-Hour Breakthrough Session

In our 4-hour breakthrough session, it’s important for me to “get” your life as you see it and understand what that little child would have made your life events mean. So, in the first hour, I just say “tell me why you are here” and I listen to what comes out. We go where you go and talk about whatever is important to you. 

I ask questions about your life and oftentimes, the answers are all over the place. I’m listening and watching you to read between the lines and get a real sense of who you are and understand the “story of your life.”

For the next 2.5 hours, I guide you in releasing the negative stuff you don’t need… the anger, the sadness, the fear, the hurt, the guilt. I’m listening for whatever disempowerment is there like… “I’m not good enough, smart enough, I don’t deserve to have good things.” Nobody really knows the programs that run us until we start to dig deep. 

The last half hour is when I reinforce all the positive suggestions that come from you during our time together in a deeper hypnosis, and this is where we reinforce the empowerment with vivid imagery. 

Because you have already released the negatives, it’s like there’s a wonderful clean space… like a clearing… to receive all of the positive suggestions. Because they were generated by you… they came from you in your words… you will accept those suggestions. You said them yourself. I make an MP3 recording of those suggestions so you can play them back over and over again to reinforce them.

Our 4-hour session is usually a very emotional experience and I can’t even tell you how many boxes of Kleenex we go through in my office. But that’s a really good thing because you are releasing the toxins that have been stored for too long.

This is all about you. How many times do you have 4 hours to talk about you and your life… focused on you? Once you release the constraints of the past, your world is filled with nothing but possibilities for the future. How does that sound to you? 

Follow-Up Sessions

NLP Coaching work is like peeling back layers of the onion. Once you release the primary stuff, you see what’s underneath. After an initial 4-hour breakthrough session, now you are in the nuances of the next few layers, which we work on in our first 1-hour follow-up session. 

In that session I ask you about your week and you might say… “People in my office see me differently, I’m sleeping better, I’m able to say “no” to the sugar, but now I’m noticing I want more out of my relationship with my partner.” 

After each session, you have an assignment which puts you on the path you want to be on. It is your job to observe yourself and notice whether there are still any obstacles between you and what you want in life. We want to find them and address as many as possible,

In the next follow-up session, we talk about what you want to place in your future. In doing this, we identify any negative emotions or limiting beliefs that might still be in your way and work on releasing all of those so that you will be effortlessly moving towards your goals. 

In each session together, we find out what you want… and we reinforce those specific suggestions in deeper hypnosis. I do a powerful imagery session with you to have you really seeing, hearing and feeling what it will be like when you attain your goals. 

These images become embedded in your subconscious mind, so your mind believes that you have already attained your goals. You walk with more confidence and behave like the person who had done what you want to do. For all intent and purposes, you transform into who you want to be. The rest is a self-fulfilling prophecy, as you manifest exactly what you have imagined in your mind’s eye in the real world. 

I make an MP3 recording for you in every session, which is an incredible tool for your personal development library. In fact, I have clients who tell me they are still listening to these recordings that I made for them years ago. Of course, I’m always available for support anytime you want it after that.  

So, if you want to know more or sign-up for a complimentary phone consultation, just reach out.
