Clinical Hypnotherapy...

Hypnosis is defined as an altered state of awareness characterized by relaxation and a higher response to suggestion. A guided relaxation begins each session, so that conscious thought is quieted and memories, feelings, and visions of the unconscious mind can surface. Clinical Hypnotherapy helps you create change in habits, behavior patterns, and emotional responses.

The conscious mind analyzes and uses logic and objectivity. It understands and makes choices based on experience. The subconscious mind, however, holds our feelings, emotions, memories and imagination. It chooses responses based on subjective experience.

Hypnotherapy with Randi Botnick includes both direct suggestions and regression. Direct suggestions allow your subconscious mind to develop new ideas and habits. This part of the process is burned onto a CD for you to listen to every day. Regression allows you to return to the initial events in your life that created the beliefs that cause stress or destructive behaviors, and release them.

Most people are suggestible (able to be hypnotized). To be suggestible, you need to trust the therapist, be motivated to make the changes in your life, to understand how the process works, and to have a belief that hypnosis works. However, if you are not suggestible for any reason, the Results System® is the perfect alternative.

Other uses for Hypnotherapy include:

• Regression/Healing the Inner Child - healing and clearing the root causes of disturbing feelings or patterns

• Past Life Regression - can be helpful in uncovering fears, phobias, and the decisions made in this lifetime

• Habit Modification - smoking, biting finger nails, nervous habits, etc.

• Weight Loss - proven to be more effective than "will power"

• Stress Management - reprogramming the subconscious mind to protect itself from stress, tension, anxiety, and depression; this includes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

• Phobias - quick relief from irrational fears that disrupt normal life

• Pain Management - take control of your pain and wellness within 4 sessions

• Guided Imagery - meet an inner advisor, take a journey to "see" your future life path, bring closure to past relationships/situations, etc.

The Results System®...

Along with Hypnotherapy, I use another technique called the Results System. The Results System is a system of healing developed by Margaret Kean of the Institute of Higher Healing in Virginia. It is a complete system of emotional release, nutrition, body alignment, and repatterning (thymo-kinesiolgy). Thymo-kinesiology is a method of integrating both hemispheres of the brain, enabling you to optimize all of your skills. This has shown to be particularly helpful for people with physical issues such as dyslexia, as well as those with emotional beliefs that keep them in fear or stress. When the brain functions in an integrated, balanced fashion, the results are often inner peace, detoxification, a feeling of openness and lightness, and an opening of your world.

The Results System process is guided through kinesiology (muscle testing). Kinesiology gets information from your body's own wisdom. Through feedback from your muscles, your body communicates what its present needs are to help relieve stress and create the perfect balance for true health.

The Three Principles of Results are:

1. Your body knows what it needs.

2. Negative or positive feelings are communicated to me through muscle testing.

3. Negative stress is changed to positive feelings through a series of Emotional Releases. These oftentimes include brief guided meditations accompanied by specific eye movements. Other Emotional Releases include specific postures and breathing techniques.

The use of Results and kinesiology is particularly helpful for those who are less suggestible under hypnosis.

Energy Medicine...

Sessions may include energy healings. This energy work takes place multi dimensionally, and is used to release emotional and energetic blocks, remove negative entities, uncover and transform patterns, and in general, relieve stress. Changes may be subtle, but they are always powerful.

Energy Medicine also includes the use of flower essences, aromatherapy, sound, natural supplements and diet to relieve anxieties and evoke positive change.

Spirituality...

Every issue in our lives has a spiritual component. Do we believe in a higher power? Do we believe we are loved unconditionally by the Universe? Do we trust in Universal nourishment and support? Helping people understand their place in the world and how they contribute to creating their own life experiences, while honoring their spiritual belief system, is a core part of this therapy.

FirstLine Therapy...

Physical health is always effected by our thoughts and emotions, therefore, it is important to understanding how to assist the body in healing while also addressing the dis-ease and discomfort in the mind. To this end, I have become a certified Lifestyle Educator for FirstLine Therapy (FLT). FLT is a 12-week therapeutic lifestyle change program that includes body composition assessment, a healthy diet, and a recommended exercise plan. In addition, an individualized nutritional program is established incorporating medical foods and/or dietary supplements.

This type of therapeutic lifestyle program may have a beneficial effect on a variety of health parameters. Patients will often experience lower blood pressure, blood sugar and/or cholesterol levels. Other results include decreases in body fat and weight, as well as improvements in symptoms related to hormone balance and cardiovascular health.
