THERAPEUTIC HYPNOSIS

MIND | BODY | SPIRIT

What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural and organic state that each of us experiences daily, whether we are aware of it or not. It is similar to the feeling of daydreaming. During hypnosis, both the conscious mind and subconscious mind come together to form an in-between state, not fully awake and not sleeping. It is a heightened state of focus and concentration, a state during which learning is optimal.

People under hypnosis will most likely feel calm and relaxed and are more open and receptive to receiving positive suggestions.

As opposed to the common misconception that people lose control of themselves under hypnosis, hypnosis actually helps you gain more control over your life, not less.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis as a therapeutic technique for a wide variety of outcomes. In our hypnotherapy sessions, we tap into the power of the mind to achieve your self-improvement goals. Many people associate hypnotherapy with changing harmful habits such as smoking or with achieving weight loss. While it certainly is an effective therapy for those important outcomes, the power of the mind has no limits for personal application and hypnotherapy can be applied widely.

As a certified and trained Hypnotherapist, I work with an almost endless array of personal achievement goals.

Why Hypnosis?

There are two key concepts for understanding why hypnosis is such an important tool for creating life changes.

Homeostasis

Homeostasis is our innate unconscious drive to “stay the same” and resist all changes at a subconscious level. While we may desire a change in our feelings, reactions or habits, at a deeper level our subconscious defense mechanisms seek to preserve the status quo and resist all efforts to change. Consider for example, how many people are not satisfied with their jobs, but don’t seem to have the initiative to look for something better. Think about how difficult it seems to make changes, and how much easier it seems to just keep doing the same thing over and over again. While talking, planning, discussing and rational understanding of our behavior are all important concepts in the process of making changes, they don’t consider our subconscious ability and power to sabotage our success in making a change.

Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change throughout an individual’s life. Our ability to change beliefs, emotional responses, and behavioral habits is dependent on the flexibility of our mind. Hypnosis, Therapeutic Imagery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Mindfulness, are some of the tools used in hypnotherapy to facilitate the internal, emotional, and behavioral flexibility needed to overcome homeostasis and release our subconscious tendency to sabotage our success and desire to change.

"From the first session with Aya, I knew she was a great therapist. As someone who visited numerous therapists from different disciplines, I immediately recognized how observant she is and how effective the sessions are. Her combined knowledge of body and mind, together with the safe, tranquil environment helped me make the changes I wanted and needed in my life. With a lot of sensitivity and zero judgment, Aya knew to ask the right questions to lead me in my journey of self healing. She has very effective tools and techniques that are easy to implement. Thank you Aya for helping me bring happiness, clarity and peace into my life. 🙏🏻"

“After completing a few sessions of hypnotherapy with Aya Goldman, I am grateful that this tool has worked so well in my life. She is professional, well trained, has a relaxing voice, and most of all, I felt safe! She has given me tools to cope with my fear of flying. She has truly helped me evolve. If you are considering hypnosis, I confidently and highly recommend her.”

"Hypnotherapy has greatly helped me to discover myself in new ways that I didn't know were possible. Furthermore, it provided me with a toolbox to reduce my stress levels and improve my sleep quality. Aya is an amazing therapist with advanced technical skills, but most importantly, she is an extraordinary human being."

“I had the opportunity to take meditation classes with Aya for several months. I must say I was impressed. She is a great teacher and guide. She was really empathetic, professional but also approachable. During that time, I improved exponentially my meditation abilities. I became more focused and my mind became clearer to see what I wanted. Small and big things. It improved my personal relationships and work relationships. I also had some unexpected benefits: I got a huge tattoo on my back, it took 9 sessions of around 8 hours each, and I was able to enter into a meditation state during this time, and it was easier to endure.”
