Hypnosis is considered to be Complementary (working with your Physician or Medical Care Provider) - as opposed to Alternative Medicine (instead of).

There are many reasons and conditions a Physician may refer you for Hypnosis.  The most common are Weight Reduction, Smoking Cessation, and Stress Management.  But there are many other reasons as well.

• Control and Manage Chronic Pain
• Relief for Asthma / Emphysema

If you would like to have a form your Physician can use for referring you to Action Hypnosis Resources Center, please email me -- hypnosisrc@yahoo.com and put "Physician Approval Form" in the subject line.

There are many other uses for Hypnosis as well.  These are just a few:

• Accepting Change & Growing -- Sometimes we have difficulty accepting changes in our lives and then moving ahead and realizing we have new choices and new adventures to look forward to.
• Being Happy by Choice -- Abraham Lincoln said “A man is as happy as he makes up his mind to be.” And of course that applies to women too! Isn’t it time you started looking for things to be happy about instead of focusing on the negative?
• Self Hypnosis and Guided Imagery Instruction for Wellness & Minimizing Discomfort of Chronic Pain -- Do you remember what it was like to have natural wellness and to have a body that felt good? Many people find using Self Hypnosis and Guided Imagery they can bring back that “Remembered Wellness”. And just imagine – no negative side effects!
• Go to Sleep Easier and Sleep Through the Night. -- Stop tossing and turning and counting sheep. Stop waking up in the middle of the night and then have trouble going back to sleep. Use the power of your own mind to get a good night’s rest.
• Confidence Building -- You know, I haven’t met a person yet who told me they have all the self confidence they need or want. Most, if not all of us would like to have more self confidence. And of course you might think the other person is super confident, but deep down inside, the other person is probably admiring YOUR confidence. You have a right to be confident and deserve to be confident in your life. Let’s work on it together and see how much better your future can be.
• Public Speaking with Confidence -- Did you know the # 1 fear in America is the Fear of Public Speaking? The # 2 fear is fear of snakes. Do you know what the # 3 fear is? Speaking in public to a group of snakes! Sorry, old Hypnosis joke. But seriously, wouldn’t you rather enjoy speaking to groups, than dread it? Wouldn’t you rather know you have the self confidence next time you’re called upon to talk, rather than feel your knees shaking and you hands start to sweat? It doesn’t matter if it’s a business situation, your book club, or you’re called on to give a book review in school, YOU CAN DO IT and ENJOY IT!
• Overcoming Shyness -- Being shy is a learned behavior. If you learned how to be shy, then you can learn how not to be shy. That makes sense doesn’t it? You can learn how to be comfortable around others without getting that sinking in the pit of the stomach feeling. Just think how it will improve your social life!
• Bad Habit Control and Elimination -- Just like Shyness and Smoking – ALL bad habits are learned, some in childhood, and others later in life, and then become reinforced behavior. Our lives are the direct result of decisions and choices we have made in the past. The important is to choose to learn a new healthier habit that will bring you happiness instead of unhappiness. Maybe some of those bad habits are holding you back from the way you would like your life to be. Here are just a few bad habits Hypnosis can help you change:
• Smoking
• Shyness
• Nail biting
• Hair pulling (trichotillomania)
• Stuttering
• Bed wetting
• Bruxism (teeth grinding caused by stress)
• Always being late
• Over eating
• Bad study habits
• Procrastination
• Just being lazy
• Excessive shopping
• Excessive eating
• Interrupting others in conversation
• Excessive internet browsing
• Staying up too late
• Being a “Couch Potato"
• Choosing to Let Go of Anger -- You know when you're angry at someone, or even something, it takes your control away and gives someone, or something, the control YOU should have. And besides, it probably doesn’t even bother the other person. So why not learn to use Self Hypnosis to control your anger?
• Letting Go of the Past -- Sometimes we get stuck in the past and just can’t seem to let go and enjoy the present. It may be from a job change, a break up, or just life in general. For whatever reason your focus has been on the past instead of your life today. Wouldn’t it be great to start living TODAY and making good healthy goals and action plans for the future?
• Loving Yourself More – Better Self Esteem -- We all want to be loved by others, but how can someone love you if YOU don’t love YOU? Learning to use self Hypnosis to love and forgive yourself, will result in being loved by others more as well. Now wouldn’t that be nice?
• Boosting Creativity -- Ever get a “block” to your creativity? Ever try to think up new ideas or expand on old ones and you just can’t think of the right way to express it? Maybe your Creativity just needs a boost!
• Goal Setting and Taking Action -- Setting Goals is important, of course, but it’s even more important to take action. In order to take action, you need to have a plan on how to get those goals accomplished! So many people tend to have Goals, but not a Plan. Don’t let this mistake keep you from achieving YOUR Goals!
• Productive Procrastination -- Did you think I made a mistake when you read Productive Procrastination? A lot of people do in classes and workshops when I tell them I will teach them how to procrastinate productively. What I’m saying is procrastinating things you need to get done isn’t good. BUT, procrastinating things that are just time wasters, or things that KEEP you from doing what you need or want to do, now that’s PRODUCTIVE PROCRASTINATION!
• Stress Management and Relaxation -- Did you know STRESS is one of the leading causes of so many health related problems we have in life? Learn to relax and let go, physically and mentally and start improving the quality of your life.
• Regression -- There are several forms of Regression Hypnosis.
• The most common that most people have heard of is called Past Life Regression. Now if you don’t believe in Past Lives, you probably don’t want to explore this. If you do – then it’s nice to see you again. Sorry, another Hypnotist joke.
• And then there’s Regression Hypnosis to help you find Remembered Wellness, to assist the body in remembering what it’s like to feel healthy and minimize pain and discomfort
• Another form of Regression Hypnosis is when it’s used to help a person remember something for a specific reason – Remembering a license plate # of a car, Where you hid the bag of gold coins. Discovering why you have an unreasonable fear of something so you can put it behind you, Remembering the feeling of confidence you had when you were at the top of your field.
• Hypnosis and Children -- Many of the things listed above can be beneficial for children as well. When I work with children, I sometimes sit in the floor with them (small children, not teenagers), and I’ll have them become their favorite Super Hero. I also want the parent to be in the room with them so they will feel safe and secure.
• Many Physicians refer male clients to Hypnotists for help with impotence and erectile dysfunction. These are very private matters, and some men are embarrassed to ask for help - but they shouldn't be! There may be a variety of causes for these problems -- stress being the most common, but also may be the result of diabetes, high blood pressure, other diseases, some medications, injuries, caffeine, alcohol, SMOKING, and could even be sports related. Some people think it's just a matter of getting older, but men well into their 70's, 80's, even 90's can, and should enjoy optimum sexual health. And, it can even affect young healthy men as well, even teenagers! If there is no permanent physical damage, hypnosis may be a natural, drug free alternative remedy to help get you back to enjoying this aspect of life again. And of course, some men who suffer from premature ejaculation are also referred by Physicians for this health concern as well. Ask your Physician for a referral. There's nothing to be embarrassed about! And of course your privacy and confidentiality are always respected.
• And you may even have a question about something I didn’t think to list. If it’s not here in the website, it doesn’t mean we can’t work together to help you make the right changes for your life. Give me a call!

It's safe and natural, utilizing the power of your SubConscious Mind to alleviate pain, and help with the natural healing processes of your Mind / Body.  Hypnosis uses the natural power of your mind to eliminate the sabotage of negative self talk while enhancing the desire and motivations for positive changes.
