Do find yourself having trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep? Do feel a sense of restlessness, or a feeling of being “edgy”?  Are constantly seeking new ways of dealing with muscle tension, tiredness, and trembling? Do feel irritable, experiencing frequent headaches, or dealing with excessive, ongoing worry and tension?

You are not alone. It is estimated that over four million adults are experiencing these same types of symptoms, and they could all be signs of GAD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder. While woman are more likely to have these symptoms, it is becoming more and more common among both women and men. It is also known that people who are have GAD, often have other anxiety disorders such as Panic Attacks, Obsessive – Compulsive Disorder, Excessive Fears and Phobias, and also exhibit signs of Depression and Drug or Alcohol Abuse.

The exact cause of Gad is not known, but research has shown a number of factors that contribute to this issue.  These factors include genetics, brain biology, and outside or environmental stresses. 

All of these factors can be helped with Hypnosis, Self – Hypnosis, and techniques of NLP, Neuro – Liquistics – Programming, and specifically with a special technique called Foundations Emotional Release Therapy.

1)  Genetics: the scientific research suggests that family history is a likely determinant in the development of GAD. Hypnosis has been proven as a way of swiftly and permanently releasing old emotions and feelings associated with past images and memories, while learning techniques of NLP, can actually change the structure of coding of your thought processes, and allow you to move beyond old programming.

2)  Brain Biology: Once again the research suggests that abnormal levels of Neurotransmitters are present in the brain, and cause an imbalance in the way the brain works. Utilizing the amazing power of Hypnosis, and NLP, you will immediately notice differences in the way you physically feel as you begin to produce new positive thoughts and images in the brain.

3)  Environmental Stresses: The trauma of stressful events, (loss of job, home, relationships,  life circumstance changes such as divorce, getting a new job or moving to a new home can lead to GAD. Once again the power of Hypnosis, and / or NLP can eliminate or greatly reduce the stress brought about by these factors.

Where Does Your Confidence Come From?

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / AASD

Just recently I have received several phone calls re: the use of hypnosis to help raise a person’s confidence as they try to return to the job market.

When you call Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Shoreline ~ Everett. the first question I ask is why do you think you feel a lack of confidence in going back into the job market? The popular answer may seem obvious to those going through this process, and the answer is tied into what people are seeing as a slow economy, and lack of opportunity, BUT……..

Consider for a moment that we live from the inside out. Our beliefs, our agreements, our feelings are created by our thoughts, and our thoughts are created by the words we speak, the words we read, the words we hear, and the words we think.

Hypnosis cannot create a job for you, but you can learn self hypnosis for building confidence,  it can help you keep focused and aware of all of the possibilities that exist around you. When you focus on the lack, all you see is the lack.  I recently mentioned in a conversation with several people, we as nation are focused on the fact that we are being told we have 9.8% unemployment, and when you focus on that it creates feelings of frustration, fear, and lack. Now if we focus on the fact that those numbers suggest that we have 90.2% employment then we feel lighter, and more hopeful. We are motivated to keep moving, and keep looking.

With that said, it would be good to remember why we immediately are hooked by the negative aspects of any situation instead of the positive. Hypnosis can help you eliminate feelings associated with old beliefs and old messages about who you are, that don’t match with you want to be, or who you really can be.

We gain our self concept from many sources, beginning in our child hood with family, friends, church, media, and school. If were contently given the message that you were no good, you were unworthy, you didn’t deserve good things, (were told that you had to get perfect scores in school, or were you told that you should always do your best?), then your subconscious was recording these ideas, and you were developing the basis of your own self – worth, esteem, and confidence from these words.  These words created thoughts, and these thoughts created feelings. We live from the feelings that we produce and experience.

Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ North Seattle ~ Lynwood uses a technique called Emotional Release Therapy to detach from the feelings created by your thoughts, and allows you to see those thoughts for what they are, just thoughts.  Then utilizing the tool of mindfulness to help you gain insight into the nature of thoughts, you will find that you can become the master of your thoughts and feelings. You will learn to use self hypnosis to focus on your desires, and obtain those things that you really want to experience.

If you want to experience long term solutions in a short term therapeutic setting, if you want to raise your self confidence, if you want to eliminate feelings of unworthiness, fear, anxiety, and lack, then CALL NOW, Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Shoreline ~ Everett, at (206) 417-4900.  Hypnosis works.

Affordable Stress Relief Therapy

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / AASD

Everywhere that I turn these days, I hear about more and more people facing threats and challenges that are causing an increased amount of stress, people are dealing with stress from job loss, violence, credit fraud, illnesses, and lack of health care. Just this morning I was reading a story about a young boy who was allegedly beaten death by four other teenagers at a party he had attend, and he had not even known his attackers before they allegedly killed him. The stress levels in our culture are rising on a daily basis.

I had originally gotten into the field of Hypnosisand Hypnotherapy because of the effects of stress on body.  I was working on an oncology unit and had several discussions with the Oncology Drs.  About the fact that you can give a cancer patient all of the radiation treatment, all of the chemotherapy treatment necessary, but nothing is going to have any true impact as long as you don’t deal with the effects of stress and attitude occurring with the patient.

I decided that I wanted to learn how to help people deal with the effects of their stress and attitude, and what I found out was that they are basically two categories of stress. The first category is short term stress. Now short term stress is a necessary, it helps you respond to actual danger, and helps you to deal with challenges that appear in your life.

In the past,  short term stress served a very useful purpose as our ancient ancestors were often in danger from predators and other life threatening factors in their environment. The effects of the flight or fight response, activited by short term stress, would often mean the difference between life and death. 

The second type of stress, Long term stress, does not serve such a nobel purpose. You see the brain does not know the difference between a real or imagined event, and in these very trying times we have to deal with such things as threats in the form of job challenges, relationship challenges, money challenges, violence and bigotry. These threats cause the same fight or flight response to occur in our system, but instead of the effects of the stress response being dissipated once the threat is over, the effects  often time linger on, and our bodies have to deal with the effects on a long term basis.

These effects manifest in five basic ways:
1. Muscles tense up
2. Blood pressure rises
3. Toxins & chemicals are released into the body
4. Our bodies  ability to deal with or eliminate toxins, is lessened, (one primary culprit is Cortisol, also known  as the stress hormone)
5. Our immune system response is dampened, thus leading to increase in disease and ill health

What is the solution to these effects? One of the best solutions is to learn effective methods of self hypnosis, and / or meditation.  When you attend hypnotic sessions at Foundations Hypnosis North ~ Seattle ~ Everett, you will be put into a series of very relaxing hypnotic inductions, during which you will be exposed to a special technique called Emotional Release Therapy. This technique will allow you to gently release the effects of stress on the cells of the body, while it helps you to flush out toxins and excess chemicals easily and effortlessly.  While all of this is happening you will be taught basic techniques of self hypnosis that will allow you to deal with stress that will arise in your future on a daily basis.

Foundations Hypnosis guarantees affordable prices due to the low overhead of owning my own studio where the work is actually done. The therapy is accomplished in as little as four to five sessions, with special low fee maintenance sessions available to you.

If You are experiencing any challenges or issues in your life, that are causing you Stress, then contact Foundations Counseling Hypnosis North Seattle ~ Lynnwood ~ Everett today, at (206) 417-7900.

Hypnosis to Relieve Stress & Anxiety in North Seattle ~ Lynnwood

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

DLScott CH.t. / CDP / AASD

Foundations Hypnosis Lynnwood ~ Everett teaches you how to master your thoughts and emotions, to help relieve stress and anxiety.  When a client calls me seeking help with some issue in their life, they usually start the conversation with a complaint about what is holding them back, i.e., “I need to build self worth, I need to find a better job, I need to relieve feelings of stress, I need to lose weight, I need to stop using drugs, or alcohol, etc., etc., etc., “.

What do you think would make your life better?  Do think if you had more money, or a better job, or better relationship, or more possessions, or a million other things that you are constantly told would make you happy, do you think that this would make things better?

How many of you reading this have heard about or read about some movie star who has fame and fortune, and all of the things that are suppose to make a person happy, and yet they are suffering, unhappy, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or constantly battling weight issues. How can this be? Why didn’t the fame and fortune bring them the happiness that they were promised?

The answer lies in our subconscious program. We have been raised to believe that we are our thoughts; we are our images, and our memories. This is not true at all. All of the thoughts and images we have in our minds, are simply the things that we have been given throughout our lives by our parents, our teachers, our churches, our government, our media, etc., etc.,  etc.  These thoughts and images are our made up agreements about our life. We have developed an inner judge who constantly deems us as unworthy, and we have developed an inner victim who carries out the judgment that our inner judge has handed to us.  Think about that, what kind of self talk to do you engage in? If you had a friend who talked to you the way that you talk to yourself, how long would you remain friends with that person?  

With these beliefs and ideas, we constantly stress out over guilt, worry, and anxiety,  that we are not good enough, that we are never going to have what we need to be happy.  We block ourselves from looking inside, and discovering the true power and wealth that exist there.

I have clients who have come to me because of old images of failures and abuses that keep them stuck in the same patterns over and over again.

Within a few short sessions they learn to detach from these emotional stresses and anxieties. They let go of old useless ideas and agreements that have kept them from moving ahead in life. They literally let go of the inner judge, and the inner victim, (stress and anxiety), and they learn how to appreciate the things that they have in their lives, actually feeling more peaceful, and more worthy. When they start to develop those feelings, they begin to attract the things into their lives that make them happy, and complete. Things like self worth, control or elimination of anxiety, anger, obsessive compulsive behaviors, and participation in the career of their choice. Their entire world begins to change and they actually begin to experience the life they want instead of the life they dread.

Why not give yourself the opportunity to move ahead, move past the guilt, the anxiety, and worry of the past. Let go of the stress, and embrace your inner power and strength.  As one successful client reported at the end of his treatment:

If you want to change your mind, you don’t need persuasion; you need 
practice. DL Scott can teach you how to practice.”
–A.K. Jones.

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.
