Hypnosis Demystified and Combined With Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP + Hypnosis – Use Them to Clear Negative Emotions

Girl Meditating on BeachAre you one of those people who thinks you cannot be hypnotized? SURPRISE! All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, AND you get into the hypnotic brainwave state at least twice a day in typical activities.

You are in the hypnosis brainwave state when you enter that condition (known to some as “la-la land”) right before you fall asleep –  and again when you re-emerge from sleep while awakening – before you get to full alert consciousness.

During meditation, you also are in a hypnotic state of mind. Let’s learn the benefits of combining a hypnosis process with Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). I have many tools and techniques to use in personal coaching and spiritual counseling sessions, and I count hypnotherapy and NLP as key components among them. Continue Reading →

PTSD:11 Powerful Ways to Heal from PTSD & Reclaim Your Life

Posted on by — Leave a reply

A bubble figure pressing on a big red button with the word HELP! on it. 11 ways to address PTSDPTSD is defined by the Mayo Clinic as follows.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s caused by an extremely stressful or terrifying event — either being part of it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

In addition, the Cleveland Clinic states:

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common mental health condition that can develop after a traumatic event. It involves symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, negative thoughts and beliefs, hypervigilance and more. The main treatment for PTSD is psychotherapy (talk therapy).

It adds:

People with PTSD have intense and intrusive thoughts and feelings related to the experience that last long after the event.  PTSD involves stress responses like:

  • Anxiety, depressed mood, or feelings of guilt or shame.
  • Having flashbacks or nightmares.
  • Avoiding situations, places and activities related to the traumatic event.

These symptoms cause distress and interfere with your daily functioning.

People with PTSD May Find It Hard to Experience Unfettered Beauty. It’s Always Like Seeing Through  Shattered Glass.

What Are Some Alternative Methods for Helping People who Have PTSD?

The Cleveland Clinic mentions only psychotherapy (talk therapy). However, I am aware of other approaches that can be used along with psychotherapy or instead of that treatment. I’ll share eleven examples that are evidence-supported and/or emerging approaches. There are more, but this already is a long post! Continue Reading →

In a separate blog Food Combos ~ Do Your Habits Hurt or Enhance Your Health?, I offer information from experts about the proper selection and combining of the foods you eat in each meal.

These affect your health, your weight, your complexion, and more.

Note: NLP can be used for an enormous variety of issues (e.g., overcoming fears, phobias, or PTSD) or desires for excellence in achieving (e.g., business success, happiness, harmonious relationships, or spiritual growth), to name a few.

Using your imagination, you can discover many ways in which it could help you in both professional and personal life. If you want to learn more or to book me for a free initial consultation, email GetWellStayWell@Outlook.com and put NLP Inquiry in the subject line. But, first, let’s read this blog!

An Informal Video About Overcoming Cravings

If you can find the patience to watch this short video, you might discover something that can help you – either quickly or with just a teensy little bit of practice! Yes, it’s 15 whole minutes long! For some of you, that’s “forever,” but the information can save you a lifetime of ill-health and excess bodyfat! That would seem to be worth it, right?

(If you prefer, just watch the first part. It is a bit of an NLP exercise about substituting a desire to replace cravings for sugar and flour-laden desserts with a desire to eat fruit. It runs to about 6 1/2 minutes into this informal presentation. Skip the rest of the nutritional info, and then, you can scroll down for the NLP script plus the other tips.)

Loneliness Can Cause Health Issues. A Fun Fix!

Loneliness – Are You Too Lonely or Just Right Lonely?

resting on a innertube in rough waters lonelinessEveryone experiences loneliness at some point in life. That is natural, but when is it a problem?

First, let’s define it. A person can be alone without being lonely. There is great freedom in that!

My thought is that loneliness comes in two primary forms. You may be feeling lonely because of the absence of someone else, or you might feel loneliness because of the absence of connection with your true Self!

A quick web search yielded these definitions.

1. affected with, characterized by, or causing a depressing feeling of being alone.
2. destitute of sympathetic or friendly companionship…support
3. lone; solitary; without company; companionless.

Why Should You Care About Prolonged Feelings of Loneliness?

Putting Yourself First for A Change: A Self-Care Checklist

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Putting Yourself First for A Change

Change Your Life! Happy figures.

profile of woman in headscarf - looking down - ready for changeAs we know, all cultural training teaches women to take care of their family’s needs as the highest priority and at any cost. As nurturing spirits, we often extend that caring behavior to include everyone but ourselves. The result can be difficulty in “saying no,” setting boundaries and addressing one’s own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. NOW is the time to change our minds – in a GOOD way.

Young woman with hat and fur - Vector illustrationEach of us is just as valuable and worthy of loving attention as anyone else in the world. Let’s first recognize that and then act like it!

Among the many classes I teach, I facilitate classes and workshops on Putting Yourself First for a Change. They are based on my

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) – It Works and It Rocks!

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)

Guess what I just learned!  NLP!

dandelion seeds cast to the wind for NLP postAs usual, I am scattering my seeds in many directions (like a good dandelion).

I just got my certificate of completion from Dr. Yvonne (Oswald)  in a class on Neuro-Linguistic Programming, better known as NLP.

This is an amazing technique that helps people overcome “stuck” issues (like emotional or psychological issues, fears, and limiting beliefs) in a fraction of the time it would take using other techniques and without having to relive every single, torturous moment of what caused the reaction to the causal event.

Are You: Walking a Tightrope?

Feeling Insecure or Confused?

Wondering How To Overcome Obstacles?

Looking For New Direction?

Neuro-linguistic Programming May Help Enormously!

walking on a tight rope that gets tangled and shaped as a question mark - needs Neuro-linguistic Programming to undo confusion and fear

You can go to a psychiatrist for twenty years, or you can take an NLP “break-through” session for 5 hours, and I’d bet you a double fudge chocolate ice cream cone that the NLP will work far better and much faster!

In order to get my certification as an NLP professional, I have to complete 30 hours of NLP practice and pass an exam. If you live near me, I’d love for you to help me by scheduling a practice session with me. My (beautiful, British, now Canadian, world-renowned) instructor assured us that people will benefit greatly, even though students are not yet fully comfortable in conducting the sessions.  (In the future, I’ll be able to do it by Skype or other media, but I prefer practicing in person.)

I advise you to take advantage of this opportunity, because the actual sessions are priced at $150/hour or $500 for a breakthrough session. For the first volunteers, I’ll give 5 hours free (the $500 value), after which I’ll charge the normal hourly rate. So, ACT NOW, as they say!

The Founders of Neuro-linguistic Programming

John Grinder (linguistics) and Richard Bandler (mathematics and Gestalt therapy) created NLP  to generate models of excellence. However, these techniques apply to every area of life, including, but not limited to, business. Lots of information is available on the NLP founders’ website.  In brief, they say that

“NLP is founded on two fundamental presuppositions:1. The Map is Not the Territory…we can never know reality. We can only know our perceptions of reality….It is generally not reality that limits us or empowers us, but rather our map of reality. 2. Life and ‘Mind’ are Systemic Processes. It is not possible to completely isolate any part of the system from the rest of the system.”

You can get much more detail on their website.

Combining Neuro-linguistic Programming with Transpersonal Hypnotherapy Accounts for My Next Disappearing Act

eyes peering at a crystal ball in the palm of a hand - for Neuro-linguistic Programming postYes, I’m about to do it again, which means that my posts will continue to be “irregular,” to put it politely.  Soon, I’ll be attending a certification class, so I can provide hypnosis techniques, along with the NLP, to help people overcome traumas and dramas in their lives or simply to become more successful.

drop of water making ripples in a pool for post about Neuro-linguistic Programming

If you think you’ve never meditated or been capable of being hypnotized, just think back to a time when you stared at a sunset/sunrise, or a flickering candle flame, or a fireplace. You were there, Baby Cakes! You were there in your Alpha brain wave state or deeper. It is so relaxing and rejuvenating! I already know how to do this, but I want to get the certification to prove it. I’ll have to pass an exam and hold practice sessions for that, too, so stay tuned!

Why Would I Learn Neuro-linguistic Programming and Other Techniques to Relieve Stress and Enhance Healing?

These are just more tools in my toolbox for being able to help people meet their own needs. Let’s explore together. Contact me with questions, or to schedule a session (still free during the practice sessions, but definitely not thereafter!)

Sip & Share Session on Zoom

If you want an initial FREE consultation, let’s schedule a Sip & Share Session on Zoom. Use the contact form below or email me at GetWellStayWell@Outlook.com and put “Request Sip & Share” in the subject line. In the message, tell me what you want to discuss. I’ll coordinate schedules with you, and we’ll chat about your needs and my services. I won’t press you to buy anything…promise.

Sip & Share Sessions - what are they? Do you want to discuss Holistic Healing consultations or classes, or something else?
