Treating Addictions with Hypnosis

Monday, July 4th, 2011

DLScott CHt. / CDP / AASD

Welcome back. It has been a busy couple of months here in North Seattle, and I have been kept very busy, using my skills and talents working in the field of mental health and substance abuse, trying to learn new ways of helping people over come major issues in their lives, and helping them find new avenues to achieve their goals, hopes, and dreams. I have learned some new ideas, and have had old ideas reaffirmed, and am still utilizing these ideas in the best way possible to create the best new hypnotic treatments and cutting edge Mental Health, and Substance Addiction treatments for my clients. As always my work and research keep coming back to my passion, the field of substance abuse, and hypnosis.

Drugs and compulsive behaviors are an emotional anesthetic, an antidote to a frightful feeling of emptiness. While hypnosis and NLP can not promise a cure for the desease model of chemical dependency, it does provide a way to detach from emotional issues that keep pulling a person back to their compulsive behaviors, and addictions, (whether that be nicotine, alcohol, stimulants, or depressants), in spite of the consequences to your health, your relationships, and your job. Foundation Hypnosis and NLP, North Seattle, helps you to uncover the demons that have been plaguing you and causing you to relay on unhealthy habits, and behaviors, and teaches you new behaviors, and new skills, to help you move ahead in life, and achieve your goals and dreams.

Ask yourself this question: if my compulsive behavior is causing me problems with relationships, my job, and my health, why do I keep chosen to repeat the same action over and over again, and expect a different result? We are creatures of habit. Think about that, we have daily routines, and daily habits, that we have been performing for years, without given it a second thought.

When you wake up in the morning you stumble out of bed, hop in the shower, grab a cup of coffee, turn on the news, get dressed, and quickly head out the door. You don’t have to think about it, it just comes automatically, and without any conscious thought. After several repetitions, your subconscious accepts the new programming, and takes control. In fact that habit becomes so ingrained, so powerful, that you actually feel a sensation of stress and anxiety if you don’t perform the programmed behavior.

The same is true of your other habits and other behaviors. Whether it be smoking, drinking, procrastination, inpatients, angry outbursts, gambling, compulsive behaviors such as eating, smoking, negative thinking, worry, judgments, and taking things personal, they are all pretty automatic, and seemingly impossible to stop.

Hypnosis works by implanting new healthy habits into your subconscious, but before it can do that it is important to clear out the emotions attached to old memories, and images. It is a lot like preparing the soil when you plant new seeds. You want to get rid of the weeds, and debris that have kept the seeds from taking hold.

From the very first session, Foundations Hypnosis and NLP of North Seattle, Shoreline, and Everett, utilizes a unique therapeutic tool called Emotional Release Therapy, that reduces and eliminates anxiety, and stress. The client is also taught easy methods of self hypnosis, and mindfulness that clean up the old feelings of low self worth, low self esteem, negativity, and emotional trauma, in much the same way that you have to clean and fertilize the soil before you start planting new seeds. At the second session, the client is then ready to have new strong, positive, healthy behaviors implanted into the subconscious level of their brain.

Just listen to what one recent client had to say:

“After just the first session I found myself able to focus on my school work, finish projects that I would have normally put off tell the last minute, and find time to actually relax and enjoy myself without the stress and worry of things undone. On top of all of that I am able to get rid of headaches by just practicing my daily exercises, and listening to the hypnotic CD(s) provided as a part of the service. Thanks Foundations, I feel great”

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. CALL NOW!!

The Power of Hypnosis and How It Can Change Your Life

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

By DLScott CDP / NLP / CDP

It seems like a long time since I last wrote a blog for this website, and in reality it has been a while.

I have taken a break as I explore more skills, tools, and techniques to help my clients obtain their goals. What I have learned during these last few weeks is that by focusing on the tools of Self Hypnosis, Mindfulness, and Emotional Release Therapy, I believe that Foundations Hypnosis Seattle – Everett – Bellevue, has been made even stronger.

While I have continued to explore specific techiques and hypnotic inductions, what I keep coming back to is the idea of Mindfulness and NLP, (Neuro Linguistic Programming), and Emotional Release Therapy.

Over the years I have worked within the field of social and human services, such as my current work in both the Hypnosis field, and the Chemical Dependency field with a state funded agency. In both of these areas I have focused on the tools of Hypnosis / Mindfulness Emotional Release Therapy, and Dialetic Behavioral Therapy. Combining these clinical proven techniques has proven effective and powerful in helping my clients reduce or eliminate a wide variety of issues, and complaints, such as Anxiety, Phobias, Substance Abuse and Addiction, Sleep Disturbances, Personality Disorders, Pain Management, Nicotine Addiction, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. While I would never claim that Hypnosis, and Mindfulness are cures all for all issues, nor would I claim the Emotional Release Therapy Technique used and taught by Foundations Hypnosis North Seattle – Lynnwood – Shoreline, I will state that learning these techniques and employing these techniques will drastically reduce or eliminate effects of the above mentioned issues, plus a lot more.

With Foundations Hypnosis Seattle – Bellevue, you will learn techniqes, including self hypnosis, emotional release therapy, NLP, and mindfulness that allow you to detach from the stress and trauma assoicated with old memories, images, and programming that we carry around with us all the time.

Within a matter of one session you will be able to dramatically change feelings, and emotions that have kept you stuck in old behaviors, and old patterns for years.

Think about that, when you begin to view old images and memories of traumatic events and situations in your life, those images, memories cause your body to be flooded with effects of stress, e.g. muscle tension, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, and other feelings that make up what are generally known as the fight or flight response. Take just a moment to recall a recent event, such as an argument with your partner, loss of a loved one, perhaps a fight with your boss. Really allow yourself to bring that image into your consciousness very clearly, notice the colors, the sounds, the details of the image. Now notice the effects that this image has on your body.

Now think of that same image, only change it some way. Make it less clear, make it faded out, add silly music to it. Now notice the effects that this image has on your body. You will notice that the image no longer is stressful or as frightening as before. You have just learned an important concept of NLP, (Neuro Linguistic Programming), when you change the coding of a memory or image in your brain, the image no longer has the same impact.

This is just one of the amazing things that you can do by learning to utilize the power of your brain, through techniqes taught by Foundations Hypnosis Seattle.

When you add this too the techniques of Mindfulness, and Emotional Release Therapy, you will discovery that things you once thought of as insurmontable issues or problems, will seem to just begin to

fade from your life.

If you want to experience fast, powerful, and lasting resulting, CALL NOW, (206) 417-4900 Foundations Hypnosis Seattle – North Seattle – Shoreline, or contact me by taking the brief survey on this website. You will be glad that you did.

Trances That We Live By:

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

DLScott CH.t / NLP / AASD

It has been a while since I have sat down to write a blog, and as usual many things have occurred in the world and in mylife. I think I about these events, and recognize the methods that are taught by Foundations Hypnosis Seattle to help dealwith these daily events, I realize that it is these events, these life circumstance, these experiences which have and will continue to shape my character, in the same why that these types of events shape the character of my clients. What I am referring to is how we react to the world around us, the process by which each and every one of us creates our own unique personality and EGO.

When you go to see a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other Mental Health Counselor, you are usually going to spend a lot of time revisiting the events of your past as you try to uncover the reasons for your current behavior. While all of this is often times interesting, and can give you some perspective on the details of your life, such as an abusive childhood, a traumatic

event somewhere in your past, an out of the normal situation that caused you to create a way of maneuvering through these life circumstances, it is not the most direct and most effective route to changing current behavior. As a Certified Hypnotherapist and Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor, I have witnessed how redirecting our thoughts, recoding our memories will swiftly and effortlessly create amazing changes in my clients lives.

No matter what issue a client brings into my office, low self worth, low self esteem, the desire to quit smoking, or stop an obsessive compulsive behavior, eliminating or reducing the symptoms of stress and anxiety, no matter what the client brings to me, it all boils down to the same thing. What is the trance that is running your life?

No matter what the content of the past events, repeated bad relationships, abusive parents or other abusive adults, or people in your life, those things cannot be changed. What can be changed is the way in which you are currently reacting to circumstances and events in your life. Once you change your thought processes, once you change your reactions to repeated content, (events and life circumstances), you will be amazed at how swiftly your life will change.

I have worked with hundreds of clients who, after learning the techniques of NLP, Mindfulness, and Self Hypnosis, have been able to greatly reduce or eliminate phobias, anxiety, stress, anger and a variety of obsessive compulsive behaviors. You see, when you react to any situation your brain is generating a trance state, a group of deep trance symptoms that dictate how you act or react in any giving situation. How many times have you found yourself reacting with repeated

patterns of anger, anxiety, or obsessive compulsive behaviors when you are faced with situations in your life? By taking control of your reactions, you will discover that you can; without hours of talk therapy; eliminate behaviors that have kept you stuck for years.

Within just a few sessions of Foundations Hypnosis North Seattle Shoreline Lynnwood Everett, clients have been able to drop emotions and thought patterns that have crippled them for many years. During the first session you will be expose d to a powerful technique called Emotional Release Therapy that will help you to detach from negative emotions and behaviors, and allow you to start living the life you have always dreamed of.

Call now (206) 417-4900, and set an appointment. You will be amazed at how swiftly and completely you can change your life.

It is 2011, What Role Does your EGO Play in the New Year?

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

By DLScott CH.t.

I just recently finished working with a client, in my studio where I see clients for Counseling -Hypnosis in North Seattle, Shoreline, who was complaining of abandonment issues, lack of self confidence, insecurity, need for attention, and jealousy. He had been having trouble with an assignment that I had given him regarding letting go of the stories that keep him stuck in those issues, and behaviors.
As I explained to him, those behaviors are the result of agreements made long ago, and those agreements were designed and used by his EGO to keep the EGO safe, secure. They would not necessarily kept him happy or living a life of success & joy, but they would allow the EGO to keep itself in a position of safety and security.

How can this be possible, you may ask.

As I have mentioned before, the biggest fear and terror that EGO has is that of death, complete & total annihilation. When you die, when your physical body dies, the EGO is done. The thoughts, the memories, the images, the totally of our mental scripts, are gone. Now the energy, the awareness, the consciousness that is the true you will go on in some fashion, it is energy, and energy never dies, it simply continues in another form, what that other form is, is still up for debate, and one that I cannot answer. What I can answer is that for you to truly enjoy your existence, for you to truly live a life of success, happiness, and joy, you have to step into the driver’s seat. You have to take control of your life, let go of traumas, fears, addictions, phobias, and anxieties. Forgive your past, and start living your present. (As someone once said, Forgiveness is giving up all hope of having a better past). The past is done and over with, it is simply a memory, an electrochemical bit of energy that keeps replaying over and over in your brain. You have no control over this, but you do have control over the present moment, the choices you make in the present moment, and whether you are going to live and EGO centered life, or whether you are going to live a life based in conscious choices and deliberate creativity.

How can you do this?

First you must let go of old attachments, traumas, emotional stresses, and images, and beliefs. You must allow yourself to believe that you can have the life you truly desire.

With Foundations Hypnosis Seattle – Lynnwood – Everett, you will experience The Power of Emotional Release Therapy. You will learn self hypnotic techniques, powerful NLP processes, mindfulness techniques, and how to use the power of your words to create positive outcomes, positive relationships, and powerful events in your life that will eliminate addictions, phobias, pain, fear, and anxieties.

Don’t delay CALL, Foundations Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, NOW!!!!! (206) 417-4900. Join the hundreds of people who have obtained their goals through sound counseling methods enhanced by the Power of Hypnosis, NLP, and Mindfulness.

Letting Go of The Ego with Hypnosis, Mindfulness, and NLP

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / AASD

It is hard to believe that 2010 is almost over, and we are getting ready to experience the beginning of a new decade. Are you ready to experience the best decade of your life, or are you still hanging on to old beliefs, old behaviors, and all the things that Your Ego dictates is what you are. Have you tried to stop smoking, eliminate addictions, lose weight, and increase self worth and self esteem? Have you read all of the books and seen all of the videos on the Law of Attraction, and yet nothing seems to change? Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett, has the solution.

One of the firsts thing that I teach my clients is the fact that while we are not our thoughts, we are not our feelings, and we are not our body, we certainly experience our thoughts feelings, and body. And we usually experience it in such a way that could swear that these things are exactly what we are.

Think about that, if someone asks you, “Who are you?” what would you answer? Most of us would answer, “I am (fill in your name)”, or I am an American citizen, or I am a father, a mother, an (fill in your occupation)”, and a whole list of who we are according to the roles that we play. Therein lays the problem. We believe we are these things, these roles that we play, such as “I am an addict, I am a cancer victim, I am the survivor of abuse”, and once again the list goes on and on. It is the EGO that plays these roles, and they actually break down into three roles, 1) Victim, 2) Perpetrator 3) Hero. When your EGO is playing any one of these roles, it has the one thing that it really wants. It has the starring role in the drama you call your life.

What if you were able to do things differently in 2011? What if you were able to stop being a victim, a slave to your thoughts, and feelings, what if you could consciously let go of playing a role in your life, and actually begin living and experiencing your life the way you truly want and desire. What if you found out how easy it is too actually take control, become the master of those thoughts and feelings? It can be done, and one of the easiest ways of doing this is through the use of Hypnosis, Mindfulness and NLP.

Using the techniques of mindfulness and hypnosis, (plus the technique known as Emotional Release Therapy, which has helped hundreds of people eliminate addictive behavior from their lives), I teach my clients how to unattach from these roles created by our thoughts, and allow themselves to become the conscious observer of these thoughts and feelings, and roles.

The first thing to do is to learn to observe the thoughts, don’t attach to them simply let them float through your mind. Long ago in a conference class through Washington Hypnosis Association, I learned a technique that is an easy and effective way of doing this, and can be done without having to go into a deep meditative trance.

The next time you have a thought come up, such as when someone annoys you or does something that is rude, such as tries to cut in line in front of you, simply stop and ask yourself the question, “where did this thought come from”, answer yourself, “from me”, then ask, “who created this thought”, answer, “I created this thought” then ask yourself the question, “who am I”. No matter what the answer, such as “I am (name)”, or “I am a male, female. Etc.” do not try to analyze the answer, simply go right back to the first question, “now where did that thought come from”.

As you continue to run these questions through your mind, you will begin to notice that every thought is just that, it is a thought, and nothing more. I personally practice this technique a lot, and have found that I react to my thoughts less and less, and this gives me more options in which I can choose how I want to react in any given situation.

With just this simple Mindfulness technique you can start letting go attachments to your EGO / brain created thoughts, feelings and roles, and start choosing a way of relating to the world and especially your immediate environment that will create and attract a life of abundance, happiness, and joy.

Using Mindfulness you will be able to let go of thoughts and emotions that have kept us stuck, and by adding the deep trance state of Hypnosis you will be able to implant new images, new messages, and the type of positive thoughts and images that will manifest the type of life you desire.

If you are ready to truly change your life, to keep those promises to yourself about becoming a nonsmoker, losing the weight you have been dreaming of, letting go of anxiety, phobias, and fears. Finally being able to get a decent night’s sleep, without waking every few hours plagued by random thoughts, and images that create stress and anxiety, THEN CALL NOW!!!!! Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett serves the Seattle Bellevue area, and is located just minutes from I-5 in North Seattle near Shoreline. The number is (206) 417-4900.

Addressing Feelings’ of Shame and Guilt Therapy

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / CDP

I would like to start this blog with some good news, the good news is that you are a perfect, complete, and whole human being. We see examples of humanities goodness everywhere, but the bad news is that, through the media we are taught to focus on the idea that we are not good enough, that we are flawed creatures, violent and warlike, unworthy of the good that life has to offer. Because of this we carry shame and guilt around with us all of the time.

We have heard this message from the media, in school, in books, and from our friends and relatives. How many times have your parents, partners, or spouse, reminded you of your mistakes, instead of reminding you of your successes and the good things that you do. Due to this perceived guilt or shame, most people are looking for the answers outside of themselves. We are looking for answers in alcohol, drugs, obsessive compulsive behaviors, money, possessions, and relationships. The list could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.

When client’s come in to my office, with issues of being unable to quit smoking, or wanting to loose weight, or they are dealing with low self worth, having a spiritual crisis, trying to eliminate or manage issues of anger, anxiety, phobias, emotional mental or physical pain, invariable underlying feelings of guilt about something they believe they have done, or feelings of shame over some perceived wrong they have committed, or endured in their past are at the become addicted cause of thier issues. They have tried many methods of erasing this guilt or shame, and in th process they have to some substance or behavior, they are experiencing pain, either emotional physical or mental, and they are experiencing continued issues in their relationships, jobs, financial situation, or are just stuck in depression, and anger.

When a client starts their sessions with Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ North Seattle ~ Everett, they are often times surprised to find out that the first thing I do for them is to teach a simple technique of mindfulness to help them become unattached from the guilt and shame of old memories, beliefs, and agreements that have been guiding their lives in directions that are uncomfortable and unwanted.

Psychology has long promoted the idea of change your thinking, change your life, but with Foundations Hypnosis you will be guided in going beyond that, you will learn not to not only change your thinking, but you will be able to easily and effortlessly change your feelings. Using hypnosis for feelings is one of the quickest and most powerfully effective ways to help with guilt or help with shame.

The Name for my brand of Hypnosis is Foundations, that name comes from the idea that we need to have a strong and clean Foundation to build the superstructure of lives upon. So when you come to Foundations Hypnosis North Seattle , you are going to learn techniques, skills, and tools that will allow you to build that happiness, joy, and prosperity that you have always known you deserve.

The answers are inside of yourself, but often times they are buried under old tapes, messages and wounds that bring up guilt and shame that manifest in trouble sleeping, emotional wounds, addictions such as alcohol, drugs, gambling, and severe pain and trauma. Learning Self – Hypnosis will allow you to continue to eliminate or manage feelings and stress that continue to plague most of our culture. How many people would pay anything to finally be free of feeling shame, or feeling guilt, and having to deal with the effects? If you are a smoker think about how often you light up when you are feeling stressed, or if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol, think about why you use these substances. Could it possibly be because you are overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, guilt, or shame?

Within just a few short easy sessions, you can learn techniques that will dramatically change your life for the better. You will sleep easier, you will let go of feelings of shame, you will let go of feelings of guilt, and you will find the Foundations of peace and serenity that you have been looking for outside of yourself, has been inside all along.
Call NOW. Appointments are available, Foundations Hypnosis NorthSeattle ~ Lynnwood (206) 417-4900, special rates for Weight Loss, Smoking Cessation, and discounts if you pay in advance. You will be glad that you did.

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.

Mindfulness and Hypnosis

Letting go of the Stress that keeps us Stuck.

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / AASD

I was just having lunch with a friend who was anxious to tell me about the latest book he has been reading. The book sounded great, Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert. As my friend continued to talk about the book, he said how he had heard all of the information before, but the style of writing was such that it was as though he was hearing it for the first time.

As I continued to listen to him talk about the book, I heard him say how something is still holding him back from taking action, and he is not sure what it is. I was reminded of my work with clients in counseling sessions, chemical dependency treatment settings, and clinical hypnosis. In all of these cases the client wants desperately to let go of old beliefs and emotions that are holding them back, but they feel stuck.

I asked him to stop for a moment, and as he asked himself “What is holding me back”, please ask himself the question(s) “Where did this thought come from” and answer, “from me” ; “who created this thought”, and answer, “I created this thought”, and finally “Who am I”. As soon as he got an answer to the last question, “Who am I, no matter what the answer, go right back to the first question, “where did this thought come from?”. I asked him to please do this 4 or 5 times and then let me know what he came up with.

His answer, like a lot of my clients, was varied and far reaching. The reason I asked him to do this exercise was because he seemed to be struggling with letting go of his thought processes, and just taking action or being in the moment.

It is a common theme in our lives; we become so entwined in our thoughts, in our egos that we forget to experience the moment. We, in fact, become so entwined in our analysis of whatever is going on, that we actually loose ourselves. We lose the experience of the moment, and we become stressed, anxious, nervous, and almost phobic about the idea that WE are not doing this right, WE are not good enough. We are not living up to the expectations of those around us, those who raised or influenced us, and those who told us how we should act, WE actually get lost in the trap of our egos. We begin to believe that we are our thoughts, we are egos, and we forget how to enjoy life.

This condition can, and does lead to all types of conditions, such as chemical dependency, low self worth, low self esteem, anxiety, phobias, stress, obsessive compulsive behaviors, and eventually great dis-ease in the body.

How can we stop the madness? One very powerful tool is called Mindfulness, a meditative technique that dates back thousands of years. At Foundations Hypnosis ~ Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett, I teach my clients how to regain their own identity, how to let go of the worry about the future, and the guilt of the past, by realizing that they are not their thoughts, they are not their feelings, they are not their bodies, there are the consciousness behind all of these things.

Using Self-Hypnosis, Mindfulness exercises, such as the one listed above, and powerful Hypnotic trance states, including Emotional Release Therapy, coupled with the power of Neuro-linguistic Programming techniques, clients are able to release deeply held beliefs that have kept them stuck for years. These beliefs create the emotions that cause them to believe that they are not good enough, not worthy enough, flawed in some manner that they must try to cover over with such behaviors and conditions as excess weight, nicotine addiction, obsessive compulsive behaviors, alcohol and drug abuse, or issues of anxiety and stress.

Within a few short sessions, clients find themselves letting go of old behaviors with no effort. They begin developing new behaviors, new strategies that allow them to live a happy, healthy, and productive life.

Just this week, one of my clients was commenting on how surprised he was at the ease in which he was able to give up daily drinking. “I was nervous, I was scared that I would not be able to do it, but now I am facing each day with a new confidence, and new empowerment, that I never knew that I had.”

This client has expressed to me that he has started attending support groups, “something I never would have imagined myself doing, and actually getting up each day, looking forward to the day”.

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.

Foundations Hypnosis ~ Lynnwood the Most Powerful Reason to Use It, IT WORKS!!!

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / AASD

Did you know that Foundation Hypnosis Lynnwood ~ Shoreline ~ Everett teaches the Most Powerful Tool For training the Mind. I recently had a client come to see me who had bought two sessions of Hypnosis with Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Everett, through a charity auction with Three Dollar Bill Cinema. He had said that he was not sure what he expected but knew that he had some various issues that he hoped Hypnosis would help him with.

As I explained the basic Law of Hypnosis, whenever your conscious and subconscious are in conflict, your subconscious invariable wins, his eyes lit up, and I could see that his mind was working hard on viewing images and messages that he wanted to formulate into a working plan.

One of the things that he asked was whether Hypnosis could actually heal physical pain or trauma? I explained that many years ago, I had been hit by a car that was traveling at forty miles an hour. It was the first time that I had ever gone jogging, and due to my lack of hearing in my right ear, I jigged when I should have jagged. I was hit full on by this massive chariot, and slammed into the windshield, thrown through the air by several yards, and when I hit the concrete pavement, I was in a state of shock, but none the less I remained awake and aware through the entire ordeal. In fact I received a broke right shoulder from the impact against the windshield, and after just four hours in the local hospital I was sent home. The Drs., and the police said that I should have been dead, but because I immediately relaxed and went into an altered state of consciousness as soon as I felt the car hit me, I was able to ride out the energy of the impact, and easily survive. The Mind, I told him, defiantly controls the body.

Over the years I have worked with people who have tremendous and long term back issues and pain. With the power of their own thoughts and their own mental attitudes as a tool in their arsenal, they have been able to release the pain and discomfort that they once dealt with on a daily basis.

I have worked with clients with long term, chronic health conditions, such as cancer, HIV, and AIDS, and these people have found that their own mental attitudes and beliefs are able to create changes that allow them to either manage or eliminate symptoms of these issues all together.

Our number one health concern in this country is Stress, with just the use of self hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and Foundations, Emotional Release Therapy, I have witnessed people recover from long term addictions to Drugs, Alcohol, Food, And all manner of Behaviors. I have also witnessed people who have been unable to maintain a good night’s sleep, find themselves sleeping soundly and consistently throughout the night.

Not to mention the fact that I have worked with clients who have reduced their recovery time from surgeries by half or more just from learning the tools and skills provided by exercises taught when you attend sessions at Foundations Hypnosis Lynnwood.
