"Carolyn made me feel completely safe and cared for in her guidance of the hypnotherapy session. Her work is powerful and goes right to the heart of the matter. I got great insights and healing, and recommend her highly."

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy (HCH) is a much deeper process than regular hypnotherapy or talk therapy. In this relaxed state of consciousness, you can get underneath self-sabotaging patterns of behavior and agreements made in childhood that are now tripping you up as an adult. Carolyn has found that this is one of the most direct, effective, and powerful ways to re-program those internal negative recordings that play in the mind and control behavior. After these sessions, people report feeling free of their inner judgment, self-criticism, shame, guilt, anger, grief, jealousy, abandonment, loneliness, and anxiety.

A typical session of Heart-Centered Clinical Hypnotherapy begins with a problem area that the client would like to work on. Clients are always in control and aware of their experience and surroundings and fully participate in the process of transformation. Relaxing music and meditative talk guides the client into a deep state of peace and serenity. Clients are guided back in time to the source of the presenting problem. Hypnosis allows for a lifting of repressed emotions, exposure of buried fears and conflicts, and a healing cathartic release. This information is often a unique surprise and a great opportunity for insights and realizations. Usually the information received has been stored in the deep recesses of our subconscious body/mind and generally lies unresolved, yet active in the client's daily life. It is in these moments that a participant has the "aha" experience about a particular issue that may have been plaguing them for decades.

Old childhood conclusions such as There is something wrong with me, I don't deserve to exist, I have no feelings, Life is unsafe, People are untrustworthy, Relationships are scary, or I have no voice are brought to the conscious mind. These self-limiting beliefs are constricting and contribute to a person feeling they don't have the power to keep themselves safe as an adult. This method uses specific techniques to assist you in releasing whatever emotion may arise. You then have the opportunity to change the limiting beliefs and decisions you make unconsciously to heal from within. By the end of the session, the new conclusions create a foundation of new energy, change, and healing that will empower you in your adult life.

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy is useful for healing shock and trauma, PTSD, abuse, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger issues, mind/body issues, unwanted relationship patterns, and confusion about life direction and purpose. The number of sessions needed is determined by the level of trauma that has occurred and the presenting problem. Sometimes only one session is necessary, and sometimes more. Sessions last 90 minutes to 2 hours, and because the work takes place in the subconscious mind where the original trauma(s) occurred, healing and transformation occur faster than traditional psychotherapy alone.

HCH was developed by Diane Zimberoff, founder of The Wellness Institute in Issaquah, Washington. Carolyn completed a two year internship in this method and is certified as an Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist.
