What is Hypnosis, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) & Time Line Therapy™?

 

What stands ATX Hypnosis apart from the rest is my combination of hypnosis, NLP, and Time Line Therapy™to give you the most effective results and the highest level of transformation. Each of these methods alone are amazing, and when used together, pack a powerful punch!

Hypnosis

 

If you could change consciously, you would, wouldn't you? However, if you are unable to make your desired changes consciously, then the unconscious mind may be running the show. At ATX Hypnosis in Austin, I will help you make positive changes at an unconscious level through the use of hypnosis.  

 

Hypnosis is a state of being in complete comfort and relaxation. It can best be described as "concentrated attention" and characterized by an awake-sleep state (also alpha or theta state). Hypnosis is usually experienced in trance, where a high level of change can be experienced at an unconscious level.

 

During your session at ATX Hypnosis in Austin, you are in complete control of your conscious state, just as you would be during meditation, or being in a state of high concentration. For example, have you ever been so engaged in an activity, such as being glued to a movie, enthralled in a book, or super focused in a sport or project, that you don't notice anything else around you? Hypnosis is no different. As you are guided to deepen your awareness of your unconscious mind, you will begin to lose involvement in your external surroundings. However, just as you can break your focus from any activity, you can also come out of hypnosis at any time you desire. Therefore, you are always in control of being in trance.  

 

The primary state of consciousness that is most referred to in hypnosis/hypnotherapy is the Alpha state.  This is the state of mind where one is half-asleep, half-awake, and is in a state of deep relaxation or meditation. Once you allow yourself to enter an alpha state, your inner-talk will begin to slow down and you will begin to become more image-oriented, thus being guided to make positive changes in your life. 

 

In hypnosis, some may also experience the theta state, going into a very deep relaxation. Many people meditate for hours to get to this state of complete, and deep calmness of the mind. Many consider that being in the Gamma (higher brain activity in the consciousness revolved around perception) Theta state is a favorable state to produce instant healing.  

 

Scientific discoveries show that certain brain wave frequencies (especially the Alpha and Theta) may:

 

1. Relieve stress and promote a lasting and substantial reduction in people prone to anxiety states.

2. Facilitate a deep physical relaxation and mental clarity.

3. Increase verbal ability and performance IQ.

4. Better synchronize the two hemispheres of the brain.

5. Recall mental images and spontaneous imaginative/creative thinking.

6. Reduce pain, stimulate the release of endorphins, and promote euphoria.

 

 

Clients often come to me once they have "tried it all" and are ready to seek change at an unconscious level. It's completely "normal" to be skeptical at first, especially being that you may have previously tried various methods to produce behavioral change that have not given you the results you wanted. However, you will most likely find that once you allow yourself to tap into your ability to enter this unique state of consciousness, you will open the door to countless possibilities for healing, self-exploration, and positive change.

NLP Life Coaching

 

Created in the 1970's by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, Neurolinguistic Programming, or NLP, has been coined, "the study of excellence." It is a method of retraining the mind in order to produce consistent and desirable behavioral results in your life.

 

Neuro defines the mind, linguistic = language, and programming means retraining; hence, retraining the mind to communicate the most effective language towards ourselves and to others. It has also been coined, "the study of excellence."

 

NLP processes can be used for success in health, relationships, business, and all other areas of your life. It is extremely effective at producing positive changes quickly and comfortably to match your specific needs, drive your personal growth, and enhance your role in any particular areas you'd like to address. NLP is a great way to help you delve deeper into the root cause of your issue, by guiding a series of specific questions, visualizations, or changes of perception. 

 

NLP techniques can be used alone on a conscious level, but can also be highly effective when combined with hypnosis to gain breakthrough changes and achieve your desired results.

Time Line Therapy™

 

Time Line Therapy™ (TLT) was created by Dr. Tad James, and utilizes methods to help you be free of issues from your past so that you can move forward with your desires and goals for the future.  Time Line Therapy™ has become widely known over the years as a very effective way to help clients achieve their desired results quickly, while creating comfortable and lasting changes. 

 

ATX Hypnosis in Austin effectively merges Time Line Therapy™ techniques, in combination with Hypnosis and NLP in order to enable you to be free of issues from your past that have been blocking you from living your life the most successful way possible. Issues and traumatic events, that have persisted since as early as childhood, can suddenly be neutral memories, freeing you to live your life more powerfully and gain emotional control over your life.

 

Time Line Therapy™ can help you break free of:

 

Negative Emotions/Feelings

Limiting Beliefs/Decisions

Anxiety

Grief

Trauma

And more...

 

And help you:

Set & achieve goals or outcomes

Live your life more freely

And create the life you want now.

 

Lasting behavioral change begins at an unconscious level. By becoming aware of your "time line," you will learn how you store all of your unconscious memories at a subconscious level. Conscious decisions to change are most effective when conducted at this level.

 

As best described by Dr. Tad James, The Time Line Therapy ™ process allows you to work at the unconscious level to release the effects of negative beliefs, decisions and emotions arising from past experiences. It brings about changes in “inappropriate” programming in minutes rather than days, months or years.

 

Unwarranted emotional reactions such as unreasonable sadness, anger, depression, anxiety and fear or phobic reactions are responsible for preventing people achieving what they want in life. At ATX Hypnosis in Austin, Time Line Therapy ™, used in combination with NLP and hypnosis, is an extremely effective way to help you gain emotional control over your life.
