Guided Imagery Hypnosis


I've found that Guided Imagery Hypnosis is one of the most effective ways in helping people make positive changes in their lives.

Sometimes people will want to work with me after reading some article that I've written that applies to their issue but they may have a reservation about being hypnotized. Using this gentle form of hypnosis allows us to work together with engaging the subconscious mind but without using the deep hypnotic methods that’s typically used during hypnosis sessions.

What Is Guided Imagery Hypnosis?

Guided Imagery Hypnosis is creating a relaxed, comfortable state of mind and then using stories, pictures and images to create changes in your life.

The subconscious mind uses pictures and metaphors to communicate. During our time together I'm listening to the words and phrases that you choose so together we're able to understand your conscious thoughts as well as your subconscious thoughts and patterns.

Subconscious Metaphors

We all use "metaphors" to communicate our innermost thoughts and feelings coming from the subconscious mind. A metaphor is an abstract example to explain how you are feeling or how a situation in your life may be affecting you.

Here is one example of how a metaphor may used. A woman that to me recently and stated that she was feeling unhappy in her life lately.

As we began to delve deeper into her feelings we found that she actually was content with her life overall but it was her marriage that she was unhappy with. 

Consciously she could not allow herself to admit that she was unhappy in her marriage. What she revealed was that at times she felt like she was "trapped" in her life. It just happened that the times she felt trapped was when she was with her husband.

Using the Imagery of the Subconscious

In the case above, we used the same metaphor that this woman’s mind had created with her feelings about her marriage. Only this time I asked her to imagine a beautiful song bird locked inside a very beautiful golden cage, and that cage was inside a beautiful home with a beautiful view. 

All of these images also corresponded to this life circumstances. She lived in a beautiful home with a beautiful view but felt trapped inside her marriage.

I then told her to Imagine the song bird being able to somehow open the cage with it’s beak. The bird could then fly in or out of the cage from then on. And each time it flew out of the cage it became stronger and stronger. Each time it left the beautiful house it found new and interesting places to visit and explore.

With each session, using similar guided imagery hypnosis, she soon found that she was able to finally express her needs feelings to her husband about her marriage and is now making progress at rebuilding her marriage in a way where she feels a part of the marriage, no longer trapped within it.
