“Hypnosis for Insomnia – How to Let Go of Awake and Embrace Sleep”

by Kelley Woods, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

 
 
One of the most beneficial side effects of engaging in hypnosis is, for many, improvement in the quality of sleep. Whether it is due to a “re-training” of conditioned sleep habits, or because bothersome issues are finally being dealt with, hypnosis can facilitate the resolution of insomnia.

Research shows that chronic lack of sleep results in daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. People who do not get quality sleep actually wake in a stressed state which can accelerate throughout their day. Poor sleep experience can also influence weight – cortisol levels are heightened in people who suffer from a lack of sleep, which contributes to weight gain.

“Addictions Appear to be on the Increase and in Intensity”

by Alice Stacionis

The ones easy to label are the physical addictions, i.e. food, alcohol, drugs both legal and illegal. Addictions are not limited to just the physical. The next level up being emotional/behavioral addictions. Addictions make us “feel good”, but as with any addiction, no amount is enough.

Hypnosis and Erectile Dysfunction

by Thea Pueschel

In my practice, I have had more than a few male clients walk through my door with the concern of erectile dysfunction. The old adage often offered by well-meaning friends, family members, partners, doctors or therapists “It happens to everyone time to time”  doesn’t ease the tension and fear of the subject matter. Many clients are befuddled because when they are alone they are able to achieve erection and orgasm. Many of those who seek relief have gone through all of the medical tests and cannot remember any set physical or emotional trauma under which this issue or the fear of this issue arose. Often times this relevant yet taboo subject matter’s source is that of anticipatory anxiety.  Being anxious about being anxious and fearing rejection from a new or established partner.
