Self Hypnosis Workshops
​
Join Certified Hypnotherapist Bridget O’Connor for a 2 part Self Hypnosis workshop
​
Hypnosis is a pleasant, relaxed, natural state; one we have all experienced many times whether we are aware of it or not. Regardless of what you may have heard or seen on TV and movies or read in novels, hypnotic trance is not unconsciousness. No one can be made to accept any suggestions that they don’t like or don’t choose to accept. You are always at ease and in control. When we choose to use hypnosis intentionally, it is a powerful and effective tool to achieve positive personal change.
​
Self hypnosis can help you to-
-
Change, update, and transform limiting beliefs, thought patterns, or behaviors
-
Create new habits
-
Support you in reaching desired goals
-
Improve sleep
-
Lower stress and anxiety
-
Improve memory
-
Increase focus and concentration
-
Improve athletic performance
-
Learn a new skill or language
And there are benefits far beyond specific goals. When you realize this ability, when you utilize it and see clear results, there is often a major shift in how you see yourself. You gain greater ease when navigating new and challenging situations. You more easily update old “programming” that isn’t serving you now. Because you are keenly and comfortably aware that you can. Gil Boyne, a master hypnosis trainer and pioneer of modern hypnotherapy, referred to self hypnosis as a “key to your inner power”. Once you become familiar with the techniques of self hypnosis, it is a tool that can serve you for a lifetime.
​
In this small group workshop you will learn about hypnosis, how to hypnotize yourself, and to write effective suggestions to accomplish a specific goal. We will meet in two sessions, one week apart. This gives participants time to learn and practice simply going in and out of hypnosis. (I use this method as my regular meditation practice, often without a particular goal.) In our second session I will provide guidelines as well as individual recommendations as you write your own personalized suggestions and a key phrase to accomplish a chosen goal.
Each session includes useful grounding and relaxation techniques, interactive learning activities, informative lecture, and a group hypnosis experience. After each class, many participants report feeling relaxed and energized.
The workshop is a fun, unique experience. Hypnosis is a tool, a bridge to connect you to your own subconscious, so you arrive already equipped. All techniques and guidelines I share in the workshop are provided in a binder for you to keep, no need to take copious notes or try to remember all the details.
I look forward to sharing the gift of self hypnosis with you!
