Hypnotherapy, NJ
Are you ready to try a powerful therapeutic technique and finally find out the root cause of your issue?
Do you suspect that your unconscious thoughts and belief patterns may be running your life?
Do you feel you are stuck in unhealthy patterns?
Are there emotional blocks in your life that are preventing you from achieving your full potential?
Do you wish to heal old wounds created in past relationships?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions hypnotherapy may be right for you. I practice a hypnotherapy specialty called heart-centered hypnotherapy.
The Wellness Institute, where I obtained my training from, states that, “heart-centered-hypnotherapy approaches therapy from a deeply caring and dynamically healing perspective. Our highly trained therapists and practitioners embrace the concepts of self-determination and the belief that every client contains, deeply within their own subconscious mind, the key to their own individual health and healing.
Our first task as a Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy clinician is learning how to speak the language of the subconscious mind. In talk therapy or counseling sessions we have spent years communicating with the conscious mind of our abused, addicted, depressed and anxious clients. In speaking with the conscious mind of our clients, we can offer them behavioral solutions, insight, empathy and positive affirmations. We can try to help them understand their difficulties, but this method contains limitations and often does not produce long lasting changes in their emotions or behavior. It does not relieve their anxiety or depression and talking certainly is extremely limited in treating and eliminating addictive behavior.
It is mainly through learning how to access this deeply personal guidance held within each human being that Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy excels. The subconscious mind contains 90 percent of the mind and within that 90 percent is the deeply held key that unlocks the client’s individual inner guidance.
In other words, we have learned over the 35 years of developing this professional hypnotherapy method that it is not the therapist, but the subconscious mind of the client which guides the sessions. We have learned to listen to their own subconscious mind, to sense and to feel exactly where the client needs to go in order to address the blockages which have kept them stuck in unhealthy addictive, victim, rescuer and persecutor patterns. Our therapists wait, proceed slowly and allow the client’s subconscious mind to determine where the deepest healing needs to take place. We have learned to proceed slowly and to listen carefully to the revelations of the deeper mind, body and spirit of our clients.” (https://www.wellness-institute.org/blog/what-exactly-is-heart-centered-hypnotherapy)
This treatment is effective…
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy has been found to be effective in treating a host of different issues including anxiety, depression, phobias, addictions, compulsions, and more.
The Wellness Institute states that, “Heart-Centered-Hypnotherapy has documented and successfully treated a wide variety of presenting problems. In fact, the list of what can be treated with HCH is exhaustive. The most common presenting problems for therapists, mental health and marriage counselors, psychologists, school counselors and marriage and family therapists are anxiety and depression. The next extensive category consists of both substance and behavioral addictions. The third highest category of people searching for therapy are those people seeking help with marriage, family and relationship dysfunction. Interestingly enough, most of these problems actually stem from some form of addiction, the previous category.
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy has been extensively and successfully used to treat any and all of these issues for the past thirty-five years by therapists all over the country and in many other countries including South Africa, Taiwan, Kuwait, Turkey, Denmark, Canada, Mexico, and more. We have found that HCH is extremely universal and the healing is just as profound in many other languages and cultures as it is English. The reason that this method has become so universal is that all Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy sessions begin with unconditional love within the heart-center of the administering therapist and then it reaches into the heart, mind and soul of the suffering or addicted client. Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy, through the professional who implements it, touches the deepest humanity, the heart and soul of each client to bring profound healing in each and every session. Thus, the overall length of treatment is shortened and the healing is profound and noticeable.” (https://www.wellness-institute.org/blog/what-exactly-is-heart-centered-hypnotherapy)
Many of us feel frustrated when we find ourselves repeating the same negative patterns. Examples of this can include continuously entering into unhealthy romantic relationships, self-sabotaging or consistently having trust or jealousy issues. Hypnotherapy is able to quickly support the client in understanding and healing the underlying conflicts which cause these patterns to continue.
I utilize Heart-Centered-Hypnotherapy because it works…
Hypnotherapy has been used as an effective treatment technique for over a century. This includes the utilization of hypnotherapy for a wide array of issues. Hypnotherapy is a valuable tool to be utilized in conjunction with your normal therapy. I often describe the use of hypnotherapy to my clients as a way to “supercharge” their therapy. What I mean by this is that hypnotherapy is a great tool that can allow client’s to safely access and process traumatic memories and access connections and valuable insight that might otherwise take months or even years of traditional talk therapy.
Within any therapy process, it can be difficult to access the subconscious reasons and root causes of a client’s issue. Many client’s come in to treatment puzzled by the origins of their symptoms or underlying causes of their symptoms. The hypnotic trance of the heart-centered hypnotherapy method allows for direct access to the subconscious mind. This opens the door to immediate insight into the issue and more efficient healing and resolution. This process is unique and powerful and requires the assistance of a highly trained professional hypnotherapist in order to prevent unintended negative effects such as re-traumatization, emotional overwhelm and re-activation of problematic symptoms.
As part of the training process I went through to become certified as a hypnotherapist I underwent various hypnotherapy treatments. I found the experiences to be profound and many of the connections I made surprising and useful. It is certainly unique from any other form of treatment I have received in the past. The way in which it pulls on various effective treatment techniques such as EMDR, Psychoanalytic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Inner Child Healing and more has led me to be a major proponent for this type of treatment.
But you still may have questions or concerns about hypnotherapy, NJ…
I am concerned about being hypnotized and being under the control of another person…
These concerns are common. Hypnosis seems to have gotten a bad rap over the years in certain circles. Within the heart-centered hypnotherapy model, the hypnosis or trance state is simply a deep relaxation similar to that of meditation. Under hypnosis, the client always continues to be in control and have awareness of what is going on around them. Client’s under hypnosis are able to communicate their needs and come out of hypnosis if they should choose to do so. Within my treatment model I always introduce client’s to the hypnotic state slowly so that they can overcome any concerns or discomfort before engaging in a full hypnotherapy session.
How does hypnotherapy vary from all the other therapies I’ve tried in the past?
This is a great question. With so many treatment approaches out there most people are eager to understand how and why this is the one that will work for them. As mentioned above hypnotherapy allows for direct access to the unconscious mind. This direct access allows for understanding and healing to occur at much deeper levels and more quickly than other treatment techniques.

EMDR AND HYPNOTHERAPY
-
Judi Vitale states that, “EMDR is a well-researched, evidenced-based psychotherapy model. Through bilateral stimulation via eye movements or other stimuli, the client’s brain is able to make connections between a target memory or impression and the past event(s) that produced it.
The client is given resources to use in the event the experience becomes too intense, such as putting negative thoughts in an imaginary container or visualizing a healing light. When processing the traumatic memories, the client is encouraged to access the distressing memory. The process of desensitization begins. Clients are encouraged to access traumatic memories, express the emotions that came up at that time, but were unable to be expressed. Using bilateral stimuli and further reprocessing the client is no longer distressed about the memory and views themselves differently both affectively and somatically.Hypnosis has long existed and has been used in one form or another to help people access the subconscious mind. In hypnotherapy, the client is induced into a relaxed state, or trance. This enables the client to relax enough to be able to get in touch with the emotions underlying their distress, and then to make connections with past experiences. This process can assist the client to access the traumatic memories to be reprocessed with EMDR.
There is also time given for the client to begin to re-parent, by embracing younger versions of the self and giving them the attention and love they didn’t get when the trauma occurred. Hypnotherapy evokes emotions on a very deep level and promotes healing through release of these emotions. EMDR also focuses on present triggers and the future.” -
Judi Vitale states that, “EMDR can be quite effective in opening a client to the past to access the source of symptoms. EMDR is much easier to present to those clients who prefer not to describe traumas in detail and the trauma memory can be reprocessed “blind to the therapist”.
Hypnotherapy can be introduced to clients at varying states of resistance as well, by using a titration process. However, clients benefit most from hypnotherapy when they are ready to experience their emotions with a feeling of safety and trust that the therapist builds with them. Hypnotherapy may take the experiences revealed in an EMDR session and allows the client to experience them more deeply and completely. EMDR benefits from the clients ability to access the trauma and manage the window of tolerance in reprocessing.” -
According to The Wellness Institute, “Yes, hypnotherapy works. Professional organizations have consistently reported on the value of hypnotherapy. The British Medical Association has been formally studying and verifying it since 1892.
In the 1950s, both the British Medical Association and the American Medical Association confirmed the efficacy of hypnotherapy as official policy. They claimed: “For the past hundred years there has been an abundance of evidence that psychological and physiological changes could be produced by hypnotism which were worth study on their own account, and also that such changes might be of great service in the treatment of patients.”
In 2001, the British Psychological Society reported that: “Enough studies have now accumulated to suggest that the inclusion of hypnotic procedures may be beneficial in the management and treatment of a wide range of conditions and problems encountered in the practice of medicine, psychiatry and psychotherapy.””
“In a clinical trial, when EMDR and Hypnosis were used together, patients suffering from PTSD reported 90% restored wellbeing after 6 sessions as opposed to 15-20 sessions with talk therapy alone.”
