Could Hypnosis Work For Me?

By Shana Rosenthal, Certified Consulting Hypnotist

There are many misconceptions surrounding hypnosis – the image of a swinging watch and the words ‘you are feeling sleepy… very sleepy’ is regretfully what springs to mind whenever people hear the word ‘hypnosis’. Either that or it is associated with being people being made to do humiliating things like clucking like a chicken or sucking on lemons. However, hypnosis is far from being a frivolous party trick or mumbo jumbo; it offers the very real opportunity to change lives by re-wiring the brain into letting go of harmful habits such as cigarettes or overeating, and could help free people from crippling fears and worries.

Nevertheless, it is advisable to ask ‘Will hypnosis work for me?’ if you’re thinking about trying it out for yourself. With so many myths surrounding this practice, it is important to learn the truth about a hypnotic approach and how it can bring powerful changes to your life.

What makes it work?

The hypnotist can get rid of unhealthy attitudes or behaviors by using suggestion and imagery to re-wire the subconscious. Unlike the conscious mind which only remembers a modest amount of what we go through, the subconscious takes note of everything, without us knowing about it. Hypnosis functions by gaining access to these concealed memories and ideas in order to create new, more favorable beliefs and habits.

The stereotypical belief is that hypnosis involves sending you into a deep sleep. However, what really transpires is that you can be directed into a significantly focused yet relaxed state of mind. Being a 100% natural process gives you the ability to open the door to innumerable possibilities for self-exploration and permanent change.

Entering into the state of hypnosis, allows access to your unique thoughts and experiences in ways not usually available. With the guidance of a trained professional, it is possible to develop innate abilities that enable making desired changes in your thoughts, feelings and behaviors possible. The state of hypnosis allows changes to be made purposefully and automatically. These changes that could not be ordinarily consciously made.

What are the actual benefits?

So many people have experienced beneficial life changes by using a hypnotic approach for problems with; habits, weight, worry, fear, lack of sleep, confidence and much more.  Numerous celebrities have also benefited from visiting a hypnotist for a huge variety of problems; including Matt Damon, Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Affleck, Winston Churchill, David Beckham and Jackie Kennedy.

Although a hypnotic approach might have only recently acquired widespread awareness, it is far from a new technique – at the end of the 19th century, a commissioned study by the British Medical Association found that “hypnotism is frequently effective in relieving pain, procuring sleep, and alleviating many functional ailments.” Even Einstein used a hypnotic approach to sharpen his genius!

So with over 100 years of positive regard and the backing of numerous individuals and celebrities, hypnosis offers a tried-and-tested, drug-free, natural and highly beneficial option for a broad range of challenges.

Don’t wait, make an appointment today and make the first step to a happier future.

Eliminate Panic From Your Life

Eliminate Panic from Your Life 

By Shana Rosenthal, CCH 

Pains in the chest and shortness of breath are common with panic and anxiety attacks and are obviously unpleasant and distressing for most people, as they could be a sign of something more serious. Anxiety attacks can have countless causes and sometimes they are not obvious. Research shows that difficult situations, or stressful life circumstances, can increase stress levels and bring on the symptoms of anxiety attacks. Regretfully, people can suffer panic attacks suddenly and for no apparent reason. Everyone has a natural fight or flight response that activates the release of stress chemicals to the brain when found in conditions where danger is sensed. This response occurs in the same way whether the threat is just a thought or if it is real. 

Not only will the anxiety attack itself be very distressing, it can also place constraints on how people live their everyday lives.  The unpredictability of when and where the next one will occur, causes people to live in fear of an attack, which often is the very cause of the onset. A viscous cycle that many can relate to! 

Maybe you find yourself avoiding going to certain locations where you fear may bring about a panic attack? Perhaps you avoid doing particular activities or evading specific situations? Possibly you feel ill-equipped to deal with stressful situations in fear of bringing on the dreaded symptoms of anxiety? 

If left untreated, symptoms escalate and people often become isolated since they are afraid to go out at all. A loss of confidence and self-esteem is common for people who suffer anxiety attacks, which can lead to further stress and anxiety. A panic attack can be extremely frightening to anyone experiencing it and upsetting for other people around them as well. 1 in 10 people will endure panic disorder in their lifetime. Having a panic attack on a regular basis naturally increases the belief that another one will occur soon, causing constant feelings of fear. 

Medical professionals can prescribe medication to assist with anxiety and stress; this helps with the signs and symptoms but not the cause. Hypnosis is found to help calm and control the actual issues driving the cause by helping the subconscious mind to reframe thinking which results in behavioral changes that reduce the effects and in some cases, remove them entirely. 

Shana Rosenthal, an experienced Certified Consulting Hypnotist working at Four Pillars in Lakewood Ranch, said “Hypnosis trains the subconscious mind to respond more appropriately to circumstances that in the past may have caused stress, tension, worry and panic. During only a small number of sessions, my clients are taught powerful techniques and tools that will stay with them for life, which instill a deep inner confidence that allow them to remain calm and confident in situations that would have otherwise caused them severe panic and stress. I just love watching my clients transform in such a short period of time.” 

Hypnosis is an option for people that would benefit from individual supportive sessions. Hypnosis is even more effective when combined with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping) which helps the mind to think clearly, calmly and logically, alleviating feelings of fear and panic. Out of the shadow of continuous worry and fear, people can gain the confidence to lead fulfilling lives without constraints. The subconscious is amazingly powerful and modifications made at this level are commonly long lasting.
