Practice To Purpose

My practice used to be as a people pleaser, a meet-everyone's-expectations-obsessor, an overthinker, procrastinator, perfectionist, the list could go on...I practiced so much, it was just who I was. 

I'm a human, so I still have shit, but I can see now what it's like on the other side of that lifestyle and hope that the tools here can teach you the same and more, because damn...the freedom you get from being able to care, while at the same time, not giving a single f*ck is beyond liberating. There is a difference. I hope you can learn that, too.

 

My practice in screwing myself over turned into a purpose when I took what I knew and found a way to teach tools to other humans so they could see what life can be like when you have more moments pulling you forward than holding you back. 

 

I extended from one-to-one teaching to a one-to-many by releasing the content I've created. One person can get a PDF and share it with others who may also benefit from the information. See how it works for you. See how it fits or doesn't. Either way - you can share with others who may find the same benefits that I, my students and their client's have had. Cuz' I'm telling you, being in a "fuck it let's do it" mindset is friggin wild and I wish I'd known it existed 20 years ago. 

You can join me here on the ShiftList. Or you can grab some content and see how it works for you. Or you can join me at the iNLP Center ⬇️ where you can learn how to do the same shit I do, but with your own badass spin. You can also do none of those things, and that's totally cool, too. (And no, there's no swearing in class - it is a professional program. I leave my language for my site and my books. 😉)

I'm so lucky to be celebrating almost a decade as the Hypnotherapy Program Instructor at the iNLP Center, and am the creator of our Advanced and Clinical Hypnotherapy Programs. Each program was created from my experience, certifications, and studies, which are all rooted in science, psychology,  neuroscience, psychoneuroendocrinimmunology, human behavior concepts, and theories that draw from a tapestry of thinkers and clinicians:​​

  • Jung's archetypes, personas, and individuation models.

  • Watts’ “watercourse way” and explorations of ego.
  • Zeig’s development of NLP as a therapeutic approach.

  • Erickson’s linguistic genius and the roots of modern hypnotherapy.

  • Epictetus’ Stoic dichotomy of control.

  • Heidegger’s phenomenological lens on existence and meaning.

  • Ruiz’s timeless Four Agreements (get the book if you don’t have it!).

  • Beck and Ellis’ cognitive-behavioral foundations.

  • Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems model (aka Parts work).

Each program is taught with practicality, integrity, and professionalism. However, we do have a great time during our live classes every week (currently 7 live class times per week). Concepts taught go well beyond technique. We discuss theory, concepts, tools, neuro-linguistic frameworks, session structure, down to the creation and process of beliefs, emotions, and memories and how they create the pattern of perception we call our reality so you can educate clients and fully grasp the concepts of the tools and techniques you learn.  

If you're interested in learning more,  I'd be happy to discuss. I'm a bit biased because these courses are my babies, but I'd personally suggest giving it a try and seeing how it fits what you want to do! Even if you want to learn it for your own self-work and never work with clients, it's worth it!

Why Hypnotherapy?

Clinical Hypnotherapy has been increasingly been proposed as an alternative to opioids to control acute and chronic pain. Doctors are also utilizing it as a tool for proactive post-surgery pain mitigation and healing as well as managing symptoms during cancer treatments, anxiety, IBS and a multitude of others. 

 

 Based on the studies below and many more like them, the practice of using techniques like Hypnotherapy (which has been documented for medical use all the way back to the Romans) to help mitigate pain and improve healing time, has been wildly successful and the West is finally catching up to what many other countries have known for centuries of human existence. 

Cancer Surgery: Less Pain Medicine, Less Stress Thinking

  • Hypothesis: A short hypnosis session before surgery might help patients need fewer opioids and feel less stuck in painful thought patterns.

  • Findings: Patients who got hypnosis used less opioid medication in the week after surgery and were less likely to spiral into pain-related worry. 🔗Read the NIH study

Pediatric Cancer: Lower Treatment Pain

  • Hypothesis: Hypnosis could help children with cancer handle treatment pain better than usual care or relaxation alone.

  • Findings: Kids who learned hypnosis reported less pain during treatments compared to those who didn’t. 🔗Read the Pain Journal study

 

Surgery & Medical Pain: Faster Relief, Fewer Opioids

  • Hypothesis: Across many trials, hypnosis could reduce pain and cut down on painkiller use.

  • Findings: Review of 12 clinical trials showed hypnosis eased acute medical pain and significantly reduced the amount of opioids patients needed. 🔗Read the MDPI study

Anxiety (Agoraphobia): Less Fear, More Confidence

  • Hypothesis: Hypnosis could ease the severe anxiety of agoraphobia (fear of leaving safe spaces).

  • Findings: People who received hypnosis showed clear reductions in anxiety compared to a waitlist group, and most found the sessions helpful. 🔗Read the study on Frontiers

 

IBS (Gut-Brain Connection): Relief Through Hypnosis App

  • Hypothesis: Gut-directed hypnosis delivered through a smartphone app might improve IBS symptoms.

  • Findings: Over 350 people tried it. Those who used the hypnosis app had better improvements in stomach pain and bowel symptoms than those who used a relaxation app. 🔗Read the PubMed study
