"Use hypnosis, and conquer your mountain."
Texas Ranger Josh Hamilton recently released a statement saying that the issue he’s been dealing with is discipline, including not having enough discipline to quit chewing tobacco. Josh, this hypnosis post is for you. When you struggle with a habit, whether it’s wanting to quit chewing tobacco, to quit smoking, or wanting to lose weight, […]
Let’s say that you learned self-hypnosis from a book or video. You’re feeling pretty relaxed each day, but nothing’s changing. The issue remains, and you’re thinking, “Hey, I thought self-hypnosis was supposed to help me solve my problem. What’s going on?” Self-hypnosis can help, but it depends upon what type of self-hypnosis you’re doing. If […]
After reading part 1, you may be wondering, “Are people who cheat responsible for their actions? Or can they just blame their subconscious?” This is a tricky hypnotherapy question. In my opinion, even if the subconscious pushes us to self-destruct, we must remember that the subconscious isn’t a foreign entity. It’s part of us, no […]
Recently the actress, Kristen Stewart, was caught having an affair with her married director (“Snow White and the Huntsman”), Rupert Sanders. When celebrities cheat, people judge them assuming it’s about lust. But sometimes it’s deeper. Each of us has two minds. We have the conscious mind; the adult that’s responsible, logical, and cares about the […]
As a San Francisco hypnotherapist working downtown, I mainly see busy professionals. And these busy people often fall into one of two categories. 1. They’re sleep deprived and know it. 2. They’re sleep deprived and don’t know it. Most of them don’t ask for help with their sleep. But they’ll often report that they’re sleeping […]
In June, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved a new weight loss drug. Now in July, they’ve approved another. At this rate, we hypnotherapists won’t need to use hypnosis to help with weight loss, because there will be a pill for every situation. 🙂 Qsymia is a combination of two drugs: a stimulant and […]
This post is more geared toward complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers, though the general public is welcome to read this, too. In my previous two blog posts about the health care law (July 2, 2012), I said it could increase spending on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) while decreasing costs. Today I’ll discuss a […]
You may know that people use hypnosis, acupuncture, sleeping pills, and even food to help with sleep. But a cell phone? I found out about this free app on Mashable.com. http://mashable.com/2012/07/11/zeo-sleep-101 Zeo Inc. (a technology company focused on sleep) just launched Sleep101 for the iPhone. Here’s the itunes link. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep101/id524193798 If you’ve seen sleep equipment, […]
In my first blog post on the health care ruling, I kept mentioning the phrase, “health teams.” In part two, we’ll discuss what that means. On page 435, section 3502, of the law, the title says, “Establishing Community Health Teams to Support the Patient-Centered Medical Home.” Yawn… Don’t fall asleep, yet; stay with me. It […]
On June 28, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (11–393). One aspect of the law may produce a fundamental shift in health care: we may see more spending on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) while costs decrease. On page 436, section 3502, 6.F., it discusses requirements for health teams. […]
