Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy
What is it?
Heart Centered Hypnotherapy (HCH is an integrative school of hypnotherapy rooted in the body and drawing from experiential and transpersonal psychotherapy. Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy combines elements of traditional and Ericksonian hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Transactional Analysis (TA), developmental psychology, behavior modification, Gestalt techniques, pre- and perinatal psychology, Shamanism and energy work.
We all have behaviors, beliefs and thought forms from the past that are limiting and keep us stuck in some way. HCH is one of the most effective modalities available to truly heal at the deeper levels especially if coupled with energy psychology modalities like PSYCH-K®.
How is it done?
I mostly use HCH techniques to help us get to the core beliefs that might be limiting you faster, rather then beat around the bushes. After we get to a core belief that is most appropriate and juicy to work with, then we generally will switch to doing a PSYCH-K balance to reprogram the new self-enhancing belief. There are times where it is more beneficial to continue with the Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy modality in which case we will do that.
During HCH sessions I guide you into a very relaxed state to gain access to the deepest parts of your system and memory. Throughout the session you are in complete control and are totally conscious, even more connected with yourself than in everyday life. From this relaxed and resourced place we go straight to the source of the problem at the deepest level available that is available to you in this time of your life and do the work necessary for it to fully express and heal, be it through PSYCH-K or HCH.
Through HCH techniques, we support your systems natural resources and make sure we have plenty of tools as we work directly with the source of your problems. We engage the part of your mind where physical feelings and memories live to release the struggle in your body.
The process is non-dogmatic and supports your worldview, it is respectful of all life paths and all are welcome.
Why does it work?
Heart Centered Hypnotherapy (HCH) probably works because we are able to go down to the root cause of our problems. Like PSYCH-K, it works with the subconscious mind to assist in resolving deep blockages and patterns that are beyond the grasp of our conscious minds and practices. It is an effective option to turn to when you are ready to truly shift life-long patterns, phobias and behaviors that are not in line with your best vision for yourself.
Another reason why HCH works is because during sessions we build resources in a number of ways so that it is safe to access the deepest layers of self-sabotaging behavior. The resolutions, new beliefs and behaviors we program for come out of that depth of resourcing that allows for higher perspectives to enter and be adopted by your psyche.
What is it good for?
Identifying and Reprogramming of Limiting Core Beliefs
HCH is masterful at helping you to get in touch with the core beliefs behind thought patterns and habitual ways of being that are no longer serving us. Through HCH, you can get in touch with the felt sense of what it is that you are truly feeling when you operate from a belief that was imprinted during a trauma or early childhood. Fear, shame, anxiety, hopelessness, abandonment, guilt, anger, loneliness, jealousy and hate are just a few of the debilitating emotions that we unpack and heal during our sessions.
I mostly use HCH techniques to help us get to the core beliefs that might be limiting you around an issue faster, rather then beat around the bushes. For example, you might be afraid of public speaking. There are a many reasons why this might be so. Is it because your dad called you stupid a lot and as a result you’ve developed a general performance anxiety? Or is it because your parents exposed your young nervous system to shopping malls and crowds too early and you get overwhelmed when faced with what you perceive to be a crowd?
Once we find out what limiting core belief you’ve developed from your own experiences, we can either continue with a PSYCH-K Balance or HCH techniques to create and anchor new beliefs and behaviors that can enhance your life. How we proceed depends on situational needs and will differ from session to session.
Subconscious Reprogramming for New Behaviors
HCH is also very effective in changing behavior patterns. Most of us are plagued by behaviors that keep us bound to an outcome that we do not want. Whether it is our relationship to food, sex, tobacco, shopping or something else HCH can help you truly re-program your system and operate from a more empowered place.
