You are looking for an easy,  affordable, successful way to quit smoking. You have just found that way, for about the same cost as a month’s worth of smoking you can quit smoking easily and completely.  Patches, nicotine gum, chantrex, and will power, have been shown to be very ineffective methods to QUIT SMOKING, Hypnosis Works.

Now the question is, what is holding you back. You have thought about it, you have dreamed about it, you have dreaded it, and you have feared it.

Why haven’t you stopped?

The reason that you have not stopped is because of your FEAR. I have recently learned a really great acronym for fear, F.alse E.vidence A.ccepted as R.eal.

Ask yourself the question, what is it that I fear?  Do you fear all of the stories that you have heard about gaining weight? Do you fear being without one of your coping mechanisms for stress, and relaxation?

On my business card, I make the statement, “we are not made up of Atoms, we are made up of stories”. Each one of the fears that you have just read is a story, and it is story made up of false information, and false evidence. With Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Bellevue Smoking Cessation Program, you will gain new coping mechanisms to handle stress and YOU will learn new skills to create and experience relaxation in your daily life.

Hypnosis for addicts in Seattle or Bellevue

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

DLScott CH.t / CDP / AASD

You can eliminate the bounds of addiction 100% guaranteed. You can free yourself from whatever issue or behavior you have been struggling with no matter what anyone else has told you or no matter what anyone else claims, and I have witnessed people do this with the power of their subconscious mind! These techniques are available to anyone who wishes to finally end their addictive behavior, and is taught through Foundations Hypnosis hypnosis for addicts.

I have seen people stop their daily and continued use of such drugs as Crystal Meth, Heroin, Cocaine, Alcohol, and Nicotine by learning powerful and effective methods of self hypnosis, mindfulness and meditation. Hypnotherapy help is not only available but is highly effective.

First I would like to establish, what exactly is an addict?  According to the dictionary, the word addict means to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively.

Last week I started working with a client for weight loss. When they arrived for their first appointment they mentioned that they were not sure if I would be the appropriate choice for a weight loss program, due to my heavy emphasis on addiction. They went on to say that after thinking about it, they realized that some of their weight issues probably revolved around and addiction to food. I congratulated them on coming to the realization that one of the reasons that it is so hard to lose weight is because of the need to constantly focus upon food, diet, and eating.

This same rule applies to drugs, alcohol, obsessive compulsive behavior and just about any issue or problem that a person is dealing with in their lives.

Let’s look at drugs for example. Most addiction treatment is based on focusing on the idea that the drug is the enemy, and we must constantly focus on the fact that we are a drug addict, and are in a continual war on drugs.  This approach has proven to be unsuccessful on many levels. The United States has been waging a war on drugs for years, and is losing miserably. Treatment centers have continually addressed drug and alcohol addiction as a fight against the substance, and the recovery rates are very dismal. People have been fighting weight with diets and gimmicks that treat food as the enemy, something to be avoided and fought against, and yet we are experiencing epidemic levels of obesity in this country. Looking at the list of treatment centers and diet centers from Seattle, Bellevue, Shoreline, North Seattle, Everett, Lynwood, and Kirkland, seems to suggest that we have so many places to go, but are finding very little success.

Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Bellevue teaches you how to reclaim the power and control in your life, by teaching you self hypnosis to relieve stress and anxiety, one of the major reasons that people use substances in an addict fashion.  Foundations also teach mindfulness techniques that are the corner stone of such treatment programs like the ones used by UW Medical Centers.  When you experience the power of your subconscious mind, and gain hypnotherapy help, you will learn to stop focusing on the problem and start focusing on the solution. It was Mother Theresa who stated, “I will not attend an anti war demonstration, but I will attend a peace demonstration”. Here was a woman who understood the true power of attention, and how you can use your own focus of attention to eliminate behaviors and addictions in your life by that power.

CALL NOW!! If you are experiencing any issues or problems with any kind of addiction, or obsessive compulsive behavior in your life, YOU CAN TAKE CONTROL, YOU CAN ELIMANATE that behavior and live a life of freedom and happiness. Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett  at (206) 417-4900.

Foundations Hypnosis North Seattle ~ Lynnwood & Personal Energy Mastery

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

DLScott CH.t / CDP / AASD

All of us want to affect our world for the better. Many of us wake up each day, we look around and we see the things that are not working. On a large scale we see a shaky economy, health care concerns, hate crimes, pollution, and abuse of children, women, and minorities. Generally we are a society of rules, and regulations. We have been taught to believe that by passing more laws and adhering to various religious commandments these problems will be resolved. Every day we here about congress trying to pass this law or that law, and these laws and rules will make things better. This is basically what Albert Einstein had stated when he said, “You can’t solve the problem at the level of the problem”.

At Foundations Hypnosis North Seattle Lynnwood, clients are taught how to step out of the level of the problem, and step into the solution of the problem, their own personal answers.

We live, and generally accept a belief system that relies heavily upon the idea of cause and effect.  Whenever something occurs in our life, we are taught that it happened because of something we did. While this is often true, (a good example would be, I missed my bus to work because I took so long in getting dressed and out the door), but what if we got dressed in the same way we always do, what if we got out of the door at the same time, and then we ended up running into a traffic accident on the way to the park & ride, and this got us to the bus stop five minutes after the bus left. Sometimes things just happen, sometimes, as Freud said, “a cigar is just a cigar”.

I can’t begin to count the amount of clients whom I see that complain that they can’t get ahead in life because of an abusive childhood, or because Mom or Dad didn’t guide them toward college, or because “___________”.

I would be hard pressed to explain to you just how you could have changed your perceived abusive childhood, or how you could have prevented an traffic accident that happened before you arrived on the scene.

What Foundations Hypnosis North Seattle Lynnwood shows you how  to step out of the level of the problem, and by changing your perception of the problem, you can change your reaction to it. You can change challenges into opportunities.

Many new thought belief systems teach the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction teaches that we are all the cause of every single event in our life.  Every event, good, bad, or indifferent, shows up in our lives because of some negative thought pattern that we have in our consciousness.  If we just change our thinking we will attract new events and new circumstances into our lives. 

I am here to slightly disagree with that declaration. Instead of The Law of Attraction, I teach my clients about The Law of Attention.  There are things going on around us all the time that we are not aware of until we put on attention of those things. How many of you have brought a new car, or are thinking about a buying a particular type of new car, and suddenly you see that type of car on every street and every city block that you go down.  Now does that mean that you have magically attracted those new cars into your life, or does that mean that you are focusing so much attention on that type of car, that they are seemingly being attracted into your life? Whether you call it the Law of Attraction or the Law of Attention, the results often seem the same, but when you accept the Law of Attention, you are able to let go of the self guilt of how you have caused so many problems and issues in your life, and you are able to decide what it is that you are going to pay attention to in your life.

When you are ready to address an issue in your life such as stop smoking, loss weight, eliminating fears and phobias, pain management, or a host of other complaints, which would you rather do. Would you rather spend all of your energy, all of your attention of what it is that you don’t want, such as continuing to smoke, continuing to diet, continuing to experience fears and phobias, OR would you rather step out of your old belief system, and focus your attention on the solution. Start living a life free from smoking, a life free of excess weight, a life free of debilitating fears and phobias.

By utilizing the power of your mind, through Hypnosis, and NLP, you will to master your thoughts, your emotions, your feelings; YOU WILL become the Master of your own Personal Energy. You choose to change your thinking, you choose to change your focus of attention, and you choose new thoughts, and new images to guide your life experiences.

You start the process by releasing old beliefs, old resentments, and old angers through the power of Emotional Release Therapy, a unique technique that you will experience with each four to six carefully guided sessions of Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Everett.  Along with the power of Emotional Release Therapy, you will be guided through a series of hypnotic inductions, skills, and tools that will allow you to create new thoughts, new emotional reactions, and new focus in your life. When you start doing this, you will be amazed at how quickly the old behaviors, the old beliefs, and habits, such as addictions, fears, phobias, relationship issues, and money issues just begin to fade away, and a whole new life begins to emerge.

DON’T DELAY; take charge of your thinking and your life today.  Call Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Lynnwood at (206) 417-4900 and SET UP AN APPOINTMENT. CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR GOOD, Become a PERSONAL ENERGY MASTER.

Hypnosis & Weight Loss in Seattle

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / AASD

Most clients are seeking hypnosis for two major issues; one is smoking cessation while the other is weight loss. I have recently noticed that majority of phone calls that I am receiving are about using Hypnosis for weight loss, and the big question, does it work.

The answer is YES!!!! What the mind can believe the mind can achieve. Foundations Hypnosis Seattle, teaches some very basic skills when it comes to using hypnosis to lose weight. The booklet that you will receive when you come in for your six session protocol provides a simple and effective check list of measurable objectives that you will obtain through the training portion of your Mental Diet.

Let’s face it, it is unreasonable to expect to come into a Hypnotherapy office, have the Hypnotherapist, or Hypnotist put you into a Hypnotic Trance, and simply tell you to stop eating.  What you really want is to change the behaviors and habits that got you to where you are today, and to do that you need to put to commit to the process.
At Foundations Hypnosis you will learn about the relationship between stress and weight gain. (Did you know that when you are exposed to stress, your body releases a hormone called Cortisol, & Cortisol is directly related to abdominal fat, blood sugar imbalances and impaired thyroid function)?  You will be taught an effective and easy self hypnotic technique that will help to return your body to its normal relaxed state, and thus help eliminate the negative effects of excess Cortisol in the system.

At each session you will be placed in a series of  induction that will set the stage for such behavior changes as improved self perception,  the ability to eat less, more slowly, and cut out between meal cravings, without any conscious effort on your part.

Along with these changed behaviors around eating, you will also discover a new desire to exercise more, and a way of looking at what you eat, all without any conscious effort.

You receive this booklet at your first visit, and you will also receive a CD for weight loss,  for your own daily use, making sure that are kept on track during those critical first six sessions.

Recently one client came to her second session and explained to me that just two days after she had her last session, someone had brought jelly doughnuts to work and after having just two bites she had to excuse herself from the break room because she found herself not wanting to be around the sweet snacks. “That has never happened to me before”, she exclaimed happily.

You will also be taught a quick and easy mantra that will allow you to effortlessly reduce stress and anxiousness before it has a chance to cause havoc with the body.  Another client explained how she had found herself sitting In front of the television, watching the nightly news, and realized that she was using her physical and mental mantra without knowing she was doing it.

The skills and tools used to help a client loss weight will last a life time and will help in many other problem areas of your life.

If you are interested in losing weight, and live in the greater Seattle of North Seattle area but are tired of endless gimmicks, and fad diets, that cause you to lose weight and then gain it all back plus more, then call Foundations Hypnosis Seattle, and North Seattle  NOW!!!!! (206) 417-4900

Hypnosis Certifications CDP / AASD

Friday, October 15th, 2010

DLScott  CH.t . CDP / AASD

Seems like every time I turn around I get asked the question, what is the difference between a hypnotist, and a hypnotherapist?  Or in a similar vein, how do you get certified by the stated to be a counselor or a hypnotherapist?

These are all very good questions, and ones that you should be asking a perspective counselor when you are seeking the services of a therapist or counselor. To answer the first question, the answer varies from state to state. In Washington a Hypnotist can and often does claim the title of Hypnotherapist, but just because Washington State allows a person to call themselves a Hypnotherapist, does not mean that the person has any certification from a state board of examination towards that title. 

Washington State does not certify Hypnotists or Hypnotherapists. What it does is it registers Hypnotists or Hypnotherapists based on their completion of a certified training group or school, in the hypnotic arts, (see my previous blog for the names of various schools). As far as I am aware, the letters behind my name, CH.t., stand for Clinical Hypnotherapist, although I actually did attend The

Northwest School for Clinical Hypnotherapy, back in the late eighties, and received my certification through them as a accredited hypnosis school in the state of Washington.. If someone you are seeking the services of, claims to be a Certified Hypnotist or Hypnotherapist, then they probably are, but you might want to ask the name of the school that they went to receive that certification.  You may also notice that sometimes I use the title of Certified Time Line Therapy Practitioner, or Certified NLP Practitioner, a certification that was conferred upon me by the Northwest Institute of NLP.  I may be prejudiced, but I believe that anyone who is going to practice in the field of  Mental Health, Hypnosis, Chemical Dependency, or Psychiatry, should at least attend one or more accredited schools, complete the courses, and obtain an actual certification.

When someone claims to be a Certified Counselor, you might approach with caution. Counselors are not certified. To be a counselor use to just take an application, a few dollars, and poof, you have a registered counselor status. Recently the laws have been changing, and now, if I am not mistaken you must get your counselor registration, but to receive that registration you have to be involved in some approved certification course, such as a hypnosis school, or some other discipline such Mental Health, or Chemical Dependency.

Back in the past, when I first gained my certification as a Chemical Dependency Professional, CDP, you only needed to take a series of college courses which amounted to about eight months worth of a commitment.  I did, back then, what is required of CDPs today, I spent the extra time to receive my college degree in the Social and Human Services field,  the letters AASD stand for Associate of Applied Science  Degree.  Chemical Dependency Professionals are Certified through a state board, and as a CDP, I am obliged to follow certain guidelines, which include accumulating continuing education credits every year to make sure that I stay current in my chosen field.

I recognize that this blog was full of a lot of details, but the bottom line is this. When you are seeking the services of a CH.t. CDP, AASD, PH.d. MHT. (Mental Health Therapist), or a Certified NLP Practitioner, then please remember that not all of these certifications are granted by the state, but any counselor who is really serious about his or her craft, is going to make sure that they receive quality training from a professional school that is recognized and certified by the state to teach. 

If you would like more information, or are in need of a certified, qualified Hypnotherapist, and Chemical Dependency Proffesional, then visit my website, Foundations Hypnosis Seattle,  or CALL NOW 206-417-4900.

Some of the best Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy training books

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

DLScott CH.t / CDP / AASD

One of my passions is to read. I love to read books of all sorts, topics, and genres, but I especially love to read books about healing and Hypnosis. On my website,  I recommend the following books

Some of my clients have asked about books that they can read as training books that will show them how to hypnotize themselves, so they can eliminate or manage certain issues or behaviors, and although I know that many people may believe that a how to book on Hypnosis will allow them to take control of their symptoms, I recommend the above books, because all of them can help you get to the core of many issues.

You will notice that the in this list there is no mention of Hypnotherapy training books, or Amazon training books, or even best Hypnosis, but I can assure you that if you want to learn how to alter your state of consciousness, take control of your subconscious thoughts and feelings, then these books get to the heart of matter, and in a very effective way.

I especially recommend Trances People Live, by Stephan Wolinski. It is one of the best books on Mindfulness, and letting go of inappropriate thoughts and behaviors. Throughout the book Dr. Wolinski gives exercises and techniques, that I have personally used for years, and have adapted them for my own clients.

When you are seeking to understand where your deepest beliefs and agreements came from, and  are looking for a way of changing those deepest held beliefs, and agreements, then I highly recommend The Four Agreements.  (Ask any of a number of recovering Crystal Meth Addicts how this book has changed their lives).

Sometimes just learning the technique from a Hypnotherapy training book is not going to help with the deeper issues that keep you stuck. That is why I recommend that you click on any one of the books in the above list, and enhance your journey to health and healing.

 

If you are wanting to know more about this powerful life altering experience, if you are dealing with emotional stress, and behavioral issues that have you kept stuck, then don’t delay, call Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Everett at (206) 417-4900 today.  http://dlscottpersonalenergymastery.com/links-and-resources/

How to Hypnotize Someone

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / AASD / CDP

Someone once asked me if it was hard to hypnotize someone?  With a grin I told the person that the hard part is not hypnotizing someone, the hard part is in getting someone to stop hypnotizing themselves.

On the door to my studio, where I see clients as a professional hypnotist, I have a sign that says, Think You Can, Think You Can’t, Either Way You are Right, Hypnotherapy Works.  With these words, one the major reason that people seek out counseling, either from a professional hypnotist, or a mental health counselor, is completely explained.

When a client types in the words, hypnotist Seattle, self hypnosis, or learn how to hypnotize, in a word search, they are generally hoping to find a hypnotherapist in Seattle who can do two things, put them into a state of hypnosis, and teach them how to perform self hypnosis on themselves. If the Seattle Hypnotherapist or Seattle Hypnotist is unwilling to learn how to hypnotize, then you may want to continue to look for one who is willing to teach the appropriate use of this highly effective tool.

When I work with a client at Foundations Hypnosis I do both. I guide them into a state of hypnosis to help them become familiar with the trance state, and to help imprint positive suggestions and positive images that will help alleviate or eliminate the issue or concern that brought them into my office; which could include smoking cessation, phobias, anger management, self confidence, sleeping enhancement, and a host of other complaints.

The idea of helping a client become familiar with the hypnotic or trance state will help when I give them instructions in an effective and conscious method of self hypnosis, and I want them to learn how to hypnotize easily and effortlessly, so then can incorporate this practice in their daily life, just as I have done for most of my life.

As I mentioned before, we put ourselves into the hypnotic state without any conscious effort, on a constant basis. I want my clients to be able to leave my office with the ability to hypnotize themselves and gain control over their own behaviors without having to constantly relay on my help in reaching that state. 

The method is easy, usually consisting of 4 to 5 steps, but teaching a client how to do this, is a very important part of any good clinical practice of a professional hypnotist. 

If you are wanting to know more about his powerful life altering experience, if you are dealing with emotional stress, and behavioral that have kept you stuck, then don’t delay, call Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Everett at 92060417-4900 today.  <a href=”http://www.dlscottpersonalenergymastery.com”>Everett counseling therapist and North Seattle Hypnotherapy </a>)
