This is just a sample of areas that can be addressed.

Hypnotism is a scientific key and scientific psychological tool which opens the ivory gate of the abode of sleep and thus facilitates a return to the hidden past. It is a useful instrument for the reexam­ination of the past and the reorientation of the present. It is the surest aid to rapid psychotherapy.  

When properly used, it is the safest means of curing types of mental distress in the shortest possible time. Hypnosis cuts down the time required for ordinary psychoanalysis to a fraction of the usual length of treat­ment. Used together with psychoanalysis, hypnosis often results in cures in less than one-tenth of the time necessary without it.  Raphael H. Rhodes

The Manager Clinic in Topeka, Kansas, The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, the Wayne County Hospital in Eloise, Michigan, and the Psychiatric Division of Bellevue Hospital in New York, New York, are a few of the many institutions through­out the country at which the extensive use and successful applica­tion of hypnotism have been recorded.

"Nearly all major pain centers like to use noninvasive techniques when at all possible," says Berthold Wolff, Ph.D., a psychologist and the director of the New York University Comprehensive Pain Center.

Hypnosis is employed on an ever-increasing scale for the relief and cure of psychic disturbances and non-organic disorders.

Hypnosis can be used successfully to reduce anxieties; to overcome undesirable habits; and to pursue self-set goals. 

Mental distress is frequently the result of memories which are. buried in the subconscious. Incidents or thoughts of an unpleasant, or shocking nature were suppressed, and became lodged in the sub­conscious mind. They are forgotten, as far as the conscious mind is concerned. But they persist in the subconscious and, without the individual's being aware of it, they affect his thought pattern.

Such buried memories often cause severe mental anguish. In some cases they may even produce an apparently physical disorder, although there is actually no organic defect.

In all such cases, a cure is possible only if these subconscious incidents and memories are first brought back to the realm of con­scious thought and reevaluated. In every such case hypnotism, which brings the subconscious to the fore, can quickly and effectively open the gate that barred the mind from freedom.

The majority of us remain imprisoned by the beliefs and perceptions we hold to be true about ourselves. We have held on to these on a subconscious level since we were very young, and they have controlled our lives ever since in the form of addictions, unhealthy relationships, co-dependency, control issues, low self-esteem, inability to make or keep commitments to yourself and others.

We are not aware of the control that these untruths have on our lives because of the depth at which they are buried. They keep us from realizing who we really are and what we are capable of achieving.  Hypnotherapy allows us to access the deep subconscious where all of the erroneous beliefs, perceptions and painful emotions are buried. Once what was hidden is brought to the light, the transformation and healing can begin.

The subconscious, in which the origins of neuroses are concealed, is resistant to conscious probing.

Your thoughts from the past have created you today. If you do not like your today and desire to change it, is simply time to change our programming-your input to the subconscious.

Depending on one's motivations, there may be a shift in attitude about specific subject matters (habits and stresses). The only requirement for getting therapeutic results is that the person has a conscious desire to change, or in other words, is in agreement with the suggestions.

Nervous symptoms and unwarranted unhappiness are the product of inner emotional conflicts. In hypnotherapy you are helped to understand your conflicts. In this way it is possible for you to do something constructive about solving them.

Many physical symptoms are psychosomatic in nature, which means that they have an emotional or nervous basis. When you come to think of it, it is not really so strange that emotional strain or worry should produce physical symptoms.

After all, every organ in your body is connected with your brain by nerve channels; and so it is logical that when your nervous system is upset by some crisis or conflict, you may, feel the effects in various organs of the body.

Emotions are what make us human, and emotions are what make life worth living. It is perfectly natural to feel the "bad" emotions as well as the "good" emotions.

All emotions contain energy, happiness, sadness, grief, euphoria, lust, remorse, and so forth. The energy from those emotions must be released, no matter what they are and no matter whether society views them as "good" or "bad" emotions.

When emotions are not allowed to fully express, when emotions are not acknowledged, they stay inside us, sim­mering, boiling, and rolling until eventually they express is some way. This could be an emotional outburst or chronic emotional issues and it could be as a chronic or terminal physical ailment.

Because society (and many "enlightened" sources) dictates that we should not release, or even acknowledge the "bad" emotions (such as guilt, greed, jealousy, rage and so on) many times we swallow down or trap and hold those emotions inside. That is unhealthy.

Every problem has a cause.  When you eliminate the cause from the subconscious mind, the problem disappears.  We simply locate the cause,            the person’s perception of the events and the fear (usually) disappears.

Using hypnotherapy, we can dig out the root cause, or we can simply make you as comfortable as possible. The choice is yours.

You can actually learn to let go of old hurts and angers, so they no longer affect you physically and emotionally.  Your subconscious mind holds your keys to health; happiness and self-empowerment!

You can experience calmness, peace, and a feeling of joy from resolving an old issue, changing your behaviors and old patterns, learning new information, connecting with your inner wisdom, and changing how you perceive yourself and others.

If you have nervous symptoms such as tension, depression, fatigue, and find it difficult to get along in your work; if you have a school, sex or marital problem; or if you merely feel irritable, and believe you are not getting the most out of life, hypnotherapy will be of help to you.

Physicians, Psychologists and Hypnotherapists have used hypnosis as a valuable tool in solving such problems as sleep disturbance, concentration and memory, phobias, stuttering and control of pain and asthma.

Hypnosis has also been helpful in treating smoking, overeating, alcoholism, bust devel­opment, skin conditions such as acne and warts, and so on.

Many times past traumas and undigested emotions will manifest in our lives a physical ills and discomforts if they are not properly released. Most chronic and terminal illnesses have an emotional and spiritual component involved.
