+====== What to expect ======
+I am currently perusing my certification in the National Guild of Hypnotists.  I am required to do 25 sessions to complete my certification.  If you are reading this page, thank you for your consideration in helping me achieve my goal, by practicing with me.  There is no monetary costs to you, only the cost of your time which is far more valuable.  I hope you find it a fun and enjoyable experience.
+I promise I will not make you cluck like a duck.  Such embarrassing things happen in Stage Hypnosis, which I have no interest in doing.
+This is what you can expect by working with me, which will typically be two sessions.  The first session you can expect it to last one and half to two hours. Any sessions after that are usually under and hour.
+In the first session we will first go over any questions that you may have.  Hollywood has given most people a distorted view of Hypnosis.  We will go over the list of questions that are presented at the end of this page.  Consider it a fun thing to think about the odd questions, rather than a dreary homework assignment.  Some of the questions will make you go "What?"...
+I will then teach you a Four-Square Breathing technique, that I will do along with you.  This helps us build rapport and helps us both relax.
+Next we will do some interactive experiments that will tell me which style of hypnosis will work best for you.  Everyone of us is unique.
+Then we will do a hypnosis induction of general relaxation.  This establishes a base line for all future sessions.
+In our second session we will address any particular issue of interest to you.  The list below are the most common reasons people come to see a Hypnotists.
+If we are working together in the same physical location, for my own safety I will record our session.  A few people find the hypnotic process erotic.  None of us need the hassle of accusations of things that did not happen.  Such recordings will be kept on an encrypted device and will be destroyed after five years.  They will be available to third parties that posses a proper court order.  I also suggest you bring your own recording device, to record your session.  This is especially valuable to you for Past Life Regression sessions.
+Also when working together it is best to wear conservative lose fitting clothing.  This aids in breathing that constrictive cloths would restrict.  The best posture for a hypnosis session is setting erect in a comfortable chair.  This is for the best energy flows, circulation of breath and Cerebrospinal fluid circulation in the spine and brain.
+Lastly bring your favorite Pendulum with you, as we will use it in one of the assessment experiments.
+----

+Foot notes:
+ @ Reduce Stress: After my NGH certification, I will be taking more extensive training in Stress Reduction. Something we ALL need in our current times.
+ # Stuttering:  Stuttering has multiple causes, some of which need to be addressed by a trained counselor.
+ For example place your hands over the ears of a person that stutters.  Does the stuttering stop when they speak with their ears covered?
+ If so there are two common scenarios.  The first being, there is a physiological issue that causes a few millisecond delay between the ear and the processing of the brain, that is disrupted due to the feedback of hearing ones self.
+ The other common cause is best exemplified by the Rock-Opera movie Tommy by //The Who//.
+ Tommy's mother and uncle singing (It IS a Rock-Opera) to a very young Tommy:
+ "...You didn't see it.  You didn't hear it.  You won't speak of it..." at Tommy witnessing the murder of his father, by his mother and uncle whom were having an affair.
+ At some point the person with the stuttering impediment was told something along the lines of "Don't tell or something bad will happen to you".
+ The subconscious mind hearing words coming out of the person's mouth tries to stop them to prevent the harm of "something bad will happen".
+ By closing the ears off, this feedback is prevented so the stuttering does not take place.  While I'm willing to try hypnosis to see if it helps,
+ this issue is best addressed by a professional counselor trained in such issues as childhood trauma.
+ * Weight Loss, Smoking and Tobacco Chewing can be complex issues.  This first session is a simplistic one that often helps with no further sessions required.  However four to eight sessions may be a more realistic expectation for these issues.
+ Success with these complex issues is also highly dependent on your participation in doing the homework that is required between sessions.
+ For weight loss, we are what we absorb from all sources. A simple place to start is always read the ingredients on what you are consuming.  If Sugar, by one of its many names, is listed in the first four ingredients, don't buy it.

+Be clear to yourself what you want to get out of this hypnosis session.

+==== Dolores Cannon ====
+I briefly investigated taking [[https://dolorescannon.com/|Dolores Cannon's]] Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique℠(QHHT®) training. Even went to a Level-II practitioner (there are three levels) to experience it for myself.  The licensing for QHHT® does not allow it to be done online, which in the era of 2020 and beyond is simply a non-starter.
+As I had worked with [[https://pastlifelady.com|Dr Shelly]] in the past I decided to work with her to learn her Lifestream® process. I'm glad I did and so have the people I've regressed.
