Recall the last time that you saw a great movie in the theater. You can see the people up on the screen and you're completely involved in their lives. You see what they see, feel what they feel and experience it as if you were there. Now the movie ends, the lights come up, and when you walk outside you're mildly surprised that it's night time and you're in your hometown because that's not where you were a few moments ago. You've been hypnotized.
Hypnosis is a natural state of being, occurring when we're involved in a great movie, engaging video game, exciting book, or perhaps just driving along and realize that we missed our turn.
During a clinical hypnotherapy session the hypnotist simply guides you to this natural, relaxed state of being and then assists you in addressing whatever concern you have. The most common of these are:
Feeling comfortable during your hypnosis session is very important so please give Joni Brewer, CH, a call and set up your free consultation today. 503-910-7186. Or email: Joni@BrewerHypnosis.com

Successful hypnosis is a process. The first step is to meet so that I can understand your specific needs and answer any questions that you have about hypnosis.
We then work together to come up with a plan.
With deep relaxation in a safe, comfortable environment, we can easily and gently discover what's kept you from meeting your goals in the past and how to change that for the future.
Still in that deeply relaxed state, I'll give you positive ideas to overcome old, outdated, negative thoughts.
After your session you'll go home with a short CD to reinforce the progress that you made.
No. A person can't be made to do anything that they wouldn't normally be comfortable doing. While hypnotized you're still fully aware and very focused. When the session is over you will remember everything that happened.
No. If something uncomfortable occured you would simply wake up. On the other end, if you were very tired and went to sleep it would be like any other nap. The hypnotist could awaken you, or you would wake up on your own if left alone.
You won't say anything that you don't want to say. Hypnosis is not a "truth serum" or lie detector.
Most people can be hypnotized - we do it every day! Motivation is the key. People that are under the influence of drugs or alcohol and people that are unable to follow instructions are the exceptions.
