In the introductory session, which is around 90 minutes, we’ll typically start with a discussion of your goals and concerns. We will discuss key factors relating to your issue, specific techniques, and any questions you may have. During the second part, I will guide you into hypnosis and provide tailored suggestions to address your specific goals.
Subsequent sessions are approximately 60 minutes long. We will discuss any shifts and continue to build on the goals we discussed in the previous session. We will then continue the change work using customized hypnotic tools and techniques.
