Hypnosis is a trance state characterized by intense concentration, deep relaxation, and high suggestibility. Hypnosis accesses the subconscious mind to modify behavioral patterns or change limiting belief systems. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. We enter this state just before going to sleep and upon awaking, during daydreaming, meditation, listening to music, or any similar activity. "I started going to Kathy for sessions during the first time I was studying for
the California bar exam. I am naturally a very anxious person and studying for
the bar put me in a particularly nasty place. Through hypnotherapy, Kathy helped
me work through the fears behind some of this anxiety and be able to take the bar,
not once, but twice. The sessions with her allowed me to approach studying for the
bar from a different place of calmness that I hadn't experienced in my life before.
This has carried over into other areas of my life as well. I feel generally less anxious
about life. Whenever something pops up that is particularly difficult to deal with, I
can always go back and Kathy will help me work through it. I come out of the
session feeling renewed and capable of handling life's problems."
