Guest speaker

 

Alex explained about his practice as a certified consulting hypnotist. His goal is to help people and also to make people aware that hypnosis exists as a therapeutic tool. 

 

A client must want to make a change to be helped. Unlike many therapists, he always begins with a 2 hour introductory session.

He begins by putting the client's conscious mind to rest by inducing a relaxed state.  The sub conscious state can bring events of one's childhood to the forefront to allow discussion.  

 

Events in one's childhood are usually behind  the bothersome elements needing to be addressed as an adult.

 

Alex specializes in issues of weight loss, stress, self esteem and fears.

 

Alex's presentation allowed us to understand that hypnosis is more than just a form of entertainment that many are  more familiar with.
