Services
Clinical Hypnosis
Our clinical hypnosis services use guided relaxation techniques to access the unconscious mind. This evidence-based approach helps modify behaviors like smoking cessation and weight management while maintaining full client control. Sessions target 88-97% of brain activity to create lasting behavioral changes aligned with personal goals through direct suggestion and metaphorical communication.
Age Regression
Age regression therapy identifies root causes of current issues through guided memory exploration. Our Turner Rescue Mission protocol safely reprocesses traumatic experiences while maintaining emotional safety. This technique helps resolve PTSD symptoms and negative self-image by updating outdated belief systems using clients' own positive experiences as therapeutic metaphors.
ADHD Treatment
Our specialized ADHD treatment combines hypnosis with neurocognitive techniques to improve attention regulation. The program addresses executive functioning challenges through tailored interventions that enhance focus, organization, and impulse control. We incorporate Reticular Activation System training to optimize arousal states for improved task completion and productivity.
PTSD Resolution
Our trauma resolution program utilizes hypnotherapy to safely process distressing memories. The Turner Somatic-Affect Bridge Technique helps clients reframe traumatic experiences while maintaining emotional regulation. This approach reduces hypervigilance symptoms and restores healthy stress responses through guided visualization and nervous system regulation techniques.
Hypnosis Training
Our ASCH-approved training programs educate clinicians in clinical hypnosis applications. The curriculum covers direct suggestion techniques, age regression protocols, and ethical practice standards. Participants gain hands-on experience through case consultations and live demonstrations, qualifying for certification requirements through our monthly Zoom-based consultation groups.
