Last week I became certified as a Rational Hypnotherapist, under the training of Dr. Aldo Pucci. Hypnotherapy is done to help an individual express deep thoughts that may be uprooted. While in the training, I learned (at a deeper level) how to help someone, to help themself.
There were subject areas addressed and I couldn’t help but to think how I could help apply the technique with my family and friends. While it is frowned upon to counsel them under therapeutic context, hypnotherapy does not reject this idea because it is considered a different level of therapy.
Surprisingly, the teens I work with seems so eager to be “hypnotized” but they struggle the most with measurable, specific goals and true motivation. The most successful client is someone who has a specific goal that they are wanting to achieve. Some common issues that are seen with the most positive results are: anxiety, depression, anger, sleep problems, substance abuse, weight loss, and smoking.
I am looking forward to applying this practice with others and helping them to the best of my ability!
