More on Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical hypnosis is an alternative approach to traditional talk therapy that offers many unique benefits and can be a powerful tool for personal transformation. Unlike conventional therapy, which primarily relies on verbal communication, clinical hypnosis incorporates a state of deep relaxation and focused attention to facilitate therapeutic change.
During a hypnosis session, individuals enter a heightened state of consciousness, where they become more receptive to suggestions and are able to tap into their subconscious mind. This relaxed state allows for exploration of deeply rooted beliefs, emotions, and patterns of behavior, often leading to profound insights and accelerated healing.
Clinical hypnosis can be particularly effective in addressing issues such as anxiety, phobias, trauma, chronic pain, and addictive behaviors. By accessing the subconscious mind, it enables individuals to uncover underlying causes of their challenges and empowers them to make positive changes at a subconscious level.
One of the significant advantages of clinical hypnosis is its ability to bypass conscious resistance and access the deeper layers of the mind where lasting transformation occurs. It offers a holistic approach that integrates the power of the mind and body, promoting self-awareness, self-empowerment, and personal growth.
More on Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative, science-backed modality that blends the power of psychedelic medicine with the depth and safety of therapeutic support. As an alternative—or complement—to traditional talk therapy, KAP can open new pathways to healing by expanding awareness, disrupting stuck patterns, and creating space for insight and transformation.
KAP involves the safe, guided use of ketamine, a legal, FDA-approved medicine, administered in a controlled setting. Under the influence of ketamine, many individuals enter a non-ordinary state of consciousness, often described as expansive, deeply introspective, or emotionally freeing. These sessions are facilitated by a licensed therapist and supported by integration work to process and apply the insights that emerge.
Research shows that ketamine can be particularly effective in treating depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other conditions that are often resistant to traditional methods. By gently loosening the grip of rigid thought patterns and emotional defenses, KAP allows individuals to reconnect with their inner healing intelligence and imagine new possibilities for their lives.
KAP offers a unique opportunity for profound self-reflection and accelerated healing by working directly with the mind-body system. Sessions are tailored to your goals and grounded in trauma-informed care. As a registered Journey Clinical provider, I partner with medical professionals to ensure safe and ethical access to ketamine therapy.
