Hypnotherapy and Counseling What Makes it Work?

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

By DLScott CH.t / CDP / AASD / NLP

When a client calls my office, Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Everett, I am often hit with a barrage of questions such as, does Hypnosis work?  Can I be hypnotized? Can hypnosis make me stop smoking? Can I lose weight using hypnosis?  I feel stuck; I have low self worth can hypnosis make my life better? I have a problem sleeping, can you hypnotize me and make me sleep better. I am experiencing coming out issues, can hypnosis help? I am addicted to alcohol, can hypnosis make me stop drinking, or can hypnosis make me stop using drugs?

I am elated that the person has called Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Shoreline Lynwood Everett, and is seeking a way to stop their use of behaviors and / or substances that are causing them such problems in their lives. I am also cautious to explain in simply language that Hypnosis cannot make them do anything.

I have worked in the counseling field for over twenty years, I have discovered a few truths along the way, but none as helpful and exciting as the idea that NO!!!  HYPNOSIS CAN NOT MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING!  If it were that simple, then I would have long ago cured the ills of society and would have retired somewhere down in the tropics with a sizeable bank account and a bigger smile on my face than I already have.

Hypnosis is one of the most effective and powerful tools in my arsenal to help people create change in their lives. With the aid of hypnosis you can eliminate the effects of fears, phobias, addictive behaviors, PTSD(s), chronic pain, sleep disorders, depression, anger, and anxiety. You can actually eliminate nicotine, and other drugs, from your life forever, but if you want to know whether Hypnosis can MAKE these changes occur, the answer is NO.

First off you have to really want to make the changes that you are seeking. Once you have decided, I mean really decided to make these changes, you have won half the battle. The other half is in making a plan, choosing a way of getting to your goal. Hypnosis is one of the best ways of allowing yourself an effective, powerful, and long term solution to achieving your goal.

When I first started out in the field of hypnosis, I did so to help people deal with stress, and anxiety. I wanted to give people a way of dealing with pain and physical illnesses. Once I was trained in the ability to hypnotize people, I soon discovered that I needed a lot more than just one technique, one type of therapy, to help people deal with the types of problems I mentioned above.

Over the years I put myself through school, received a degree in social and human services, became a Chemical Dependency Counselor, and learned even stronger and more specific techniques, such as Dialectic Behavior, (which utilizes Mindfulness), Nero Linguistic Programming, and Emotional Release Therapy, which incorporates some of the most advance research available to help people actually change their brain wave patterns and eliminate the physical effects of stress, and trauma. Even with these tools and techniques I can never lie to a client and tell them that Hypnosis will make them do anything.

The proper use of Hypnosis can help them, and will almost guarantee that they are going to achieve their goals, but it is the client themselves who must utilize the tools, it is the client themselves who must do the work to get to where they want to go. Hiring a trained hypnotherapist and qualified counselor is like hiring a trained guide to get you through the wilderness or jungle. You may be able to eventually make it through the wilderness or jungle on your own, but fast, effective, powerful results can be increased by hiring the right aid.

When you come to Foundations Hypnosis Seattle Shoreline Everett, you will discover that you will be taught these powerful tools and powerful aids, such as Self Hypnosis, Mindfulness, NLP, and Emotional Release Therapy, and you will be taught these tools in just a few short sessions so that you can move on with your life, without having to return to your therapist on a weekly basis for the rest of your life. In fact, with Foundations Hypnosis Seattle, you will discover that you can actually acquire the same powerful results by coming to your few sessions every other week, instead of ever week, (this bi –weekly schedule is much easier on the pocket book).

So if you are ready to finally make the changes in your life that you have dreamed about, then CALL Foundations Hypnosis, (206) 417-4900 NOW!!!!!  Foundations  is located in the north end of Seattle right off the freeway, just minutes from down town Seattle, Everett, or The East Side.  There are night time, and limited weekend appointments available and results are seen after just one session.  There are also special discounts for Smoking Cessation clients.

Change the Image, Change the Feeling, it’s That Easy

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

By DLScott CH.t / AASD / CDP
So many people come to me seeking to rid themselves of emotional stress, fear, phobias, anxieties, addictions to drugs or alcohol, wanting to quit smoking, learn how to sleep better, relieve themselves of various other issues or problems. They are always amazed that once they begin to learn the process, they are able to accomplish their aims within a matter of a few sessions, and in some cases they find incredibly swift and powerful relief within the first session.

Can it really be that simply? After going through months, and years of traditional therapy, can they actually find the relief they were looking for within a matter of just a few minutes or a few hours.

The answer is YES!!!! With the power of your mind, you can learn amazing techniques that will allow you to become unstuck and move ahead in life, dropping behaviors, fears, emotional traumas, and anxieties and actually live the type of life that you have only dreamed of.

With Foundations Hypnosis, NLP, Seattle ~ Everett you can experience results within a very short time. Results that are powerful, and long lasting.

The secret is in the ability to recognize that you live your life based on the character and content of the images  in your mind.

By changing the characterand content of those images, our bodies react in a totally different way. You will go from experiencing fear and anxiety, to being able to experience new positive feelings  in just a matter of a brief time.  Think about that, you don’t have to forget or denay any thoughts or images, you just need to learn how to change the character and content of the problematic image.

Just the other day I was working with a client who had not been able to get himself to quit chewing tobacco, by simply having him look at, and change the character and  the content of the images and the messages related to chewing tobacco, he was able to drop years of cravings and addiction to this unhealthy and disgusting habit in a matter of minutes.

What is it that you want to change in your life? What do you want to experience in a new powerful and positive way in your life? It can be done swiftly and completely, and it will be accomplished with the resources that you have always had inside of you, but never knew existed.

Hypnosis Smoking Cessation Seattle

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

DLScott CH.t  /  CDP /  AASD

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. YOU will learn and utilize new skills that will allow you not to replace your former smoking addiction with excess food.

Foundations Hypnosis is located in North Seattle near Shoreline just a few minutes from downtown Everett, and Lynnwood. As a Seattle hypnotist I have worked with 100(s) of clients who have wanted to quit smoking, and are looking for a program that will provide more than just the basic Hypnosis quit smoking program. With Foundations Hypnotherapy you will receive an effective detoxification program that will allow you to decrease the amount of nicotine going into your system while you are induced into states of deep relaxation and trance that will allow you to accept and act upon images and messages that will alleviate stress, and cravings. With the Self Hypnosis that each client is taught, you will be able to reinforcement every skill and tool that you are given in session, and as an added bonus you will be given a Smoking Cessation CD to listen to further enhance and make this program easy comfortable and successful for you.

Seattle Hypnotherapist Counselor – DL Scott

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / AASD

Welcome back, a friend of mine told me, as I arrived back from a two week retreat / vacation, on Cortes Island in British Columbia.

Things never really turn out exactly the way that you expect, and this vacation did not turn out as I expected. First off I had not expected to learn as much about myself as I have, and second off I never expected to learn as much about my counseling and hypnotherapist agency as I did.

Upon return from my vacation I opened up my e-mail and everything that I had been experiencing and learning was contained in the following e-mail:
                                   
   I know you’ve never heard this before, but you were RIGHT!! All the worry, stress, freaking myself out and falling into the deep Hole of Dispair and depression over an unknown factor in my Future…. with the Demons controlling my thoughts, though I should have been concentrating on the present moment fighting with Positive Thoughts, Self- Confidence and Keeping those Damaging influences at bay!!
      In my defense, and considering what I still feel my vulnerable personality , being down to less than $20. to my name and uncertain as to my continued U.I. and convinced that I had NO place to turn….
     As it ultimately turned out, a relative came through with $1000, AND the next day my paperwork and check and 15 week extension of Benefits arrived in the mail…
     So, sorry to ramble on like this , but I felt I needed to explain to someone! Thank you for your concern and your Help in facing similar situations in the Future!
       As it turns out, I’m almost Giddy at the moment about the way it DID turn out, but I know I probably did both further physical and mental damage
by the way I reacted to the situation…
     So, I’ll let you go for now and Hope you have a Fantastic Vacation in every way possible!!!!  Yours in Peace, xxxxxxxxxxxx

I have been in the field for about twenty years at this point in my career. I have clients who come to me for a variety of reasons, smoking cessation, drug addiction, self worth & self esteem, panic & anxiety, sleeping issues. pain management control, insomnia, gambling addiction, internalized homophobia, and coming out issues for the Gay and Lesbian community. When I first learned the art of hypnosis, I was trained in specific inductions, and techniques, that could help a client refocus or reprogram their minds. During all of that time as a Seattle Hypnotherapist, and Washington Certified Counselor, what have I found that works really well? What I have discovered over the years, is that clients don’t have to reprogram their minds, they simply need to be reminded that they don’t have to buy into every thought that is created or produced by the brain. They are actually the observer, the watcher, the Master of their thoughts.

I cannot repeat enough that a technique I use called Emotional Release Therapy, helps every single client let go of old lingering emotional wounds and traumas, while applying the techniques of Mindfulness, and Deep Clinical Hypnosis, provide very fast, and reliable changes in thoughts and emotions, that allow for permanent and lasting changing in the clients environment.

You see, we as a species do not create and live our lives from the outside in, but we do create and live our lives from the inside out. The outside world, our environment is a mirror of what we believe and have been taught about ourselves.  According to one of my favorite writers, Don Miguel Ruiz, “The Four Agreements”, we have been domesticated / raised with certain beliefs that we have accepted and agreed to truth. The interesting thing is, that very few of these beliefs and agreements are true.  We act as if every thought, every belief, that we have is absolutely the truth. When you come to Foundations Hypnosis, serving the greater King County area, and surrounding counties, you are taught that you are not your thoughts, you are not your feelings, you are not even really your body. You are something much more, you are the consciousness, the spirit, the soul, that inhabits that body, and it is your brain, (the most sophisticated computer in existence), that creates and produces 1000(s) of thoughts each day. Thoughts that we buy into, and believe to be true. Once you are able to become the observer or those thoughts, the watcher of the thoughts and emotions, that have ruled your life for years, you will be able to easily let go of anger, addictions, internalized phobias, fears, and insecurities that have kept you stuck for years.

Just listen to what one client said to me about how Foundations Hypnosis has helped him with his life long anger issues, issues that he had at one time been mandated to attend more traditional anger management classes:

“DL Scott, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you what you and Emotional Release Therapy have done for me. I know I still have a ways to go, but after just a few short weeks I feel more satisfaction and closer to reaching my goal than I ever did while spending almost two years in a traditional form of anger management. People in my life are already noticing the positive changes that I’m making and I’m beginning to feel myself getting closer to the ones I love. Thank you for the hope of happiness in my life.
