Anxiety, A Common Issue In My New Hampshire Practice
Anxiety is one of the most common presenting issues in my New Hampshire hypnotherapy practice, Choice For Hypnosis. If you’re one of many who suffer from anxiety, I can give you the relief you seek. After your session you will have a greater feeling of personal safety, security and confidence than you have for a very long time. You will be amazed at how great you will feel. I have helped literally hundred’s of individuals achieve remarkable success in alleviating panic and anxiety.

As a hypnotherapist, I use proven hypnotic techniques and mind-body strategies to treat the symptoms of all types of anxiety issues and often safely treat the original experiences that created the problem in the first place.

What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is an irrational emotional response to an imagined threat that causes a generalized feeling of apprehension and dread and a variety of physical symptoms. Some individuals are more predisposed to experience heightened anxiety due to genetics.

When the person senses danger, real or imagined, the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the fight-or-flight reaction, or the stress response where the pulse is elevated, respiration is increased and blood pressure is heightens. This is because the body is preparing for action. All one feels like doing is escaping.

Anxiety is a distressing symptom, it is no wonder that anti anxiety medication have become so popular since the anxious person feels so out of sorts and often has issues sleeping.

Negative Past Experiences and Anxiety
Sometimes anxiety strikes when similar circumstances trigger the association from the past. It is a form of self-protection from the subconscious mind, warning you of danger when there is none! The memories of the negative experiences are now imprinted (conditioned) in the subconscious part of your mind and remain there long after the initial experiences were repressed or forgotten.

Therapy And Healing Practices Have Limitations
Many therapists and healers attempt to change or influence this negative programming by targeting these negative self beliefs and perceptions. But these types of therapies have significant limitations because all negative self beliefs (perceptions) are stored in the subconscious mind. Hypnosis can help where other therapies could not because hypnotherapy helps the person gain insight to the past. Hypnotherapy further helps to change those negative belief’s.

Hypnosis is the Gateway To The Mind And Body
Since hypnosis is the gateway to both the mind and body it reduces the arousal of both the mind and body. Hypnotherapy interrupts negative, irrational and obsessive thoughts. It produces feelings of self-efficacy and the ability to calm oneself as it diminishes worry and fear of future anxiety reactions. It also diminishes restlessness, irritability and sleeplessness. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis also moderate the physical symptoms of anxiety such as racing heart, sweating and stomach distress. Choice For Hypnosis reframes and replaces distorted thinking, catastrophic thoughts, negative ideas, beliefs and expectations with positives one. It provides self-soothing, positive mood and feeling of safety and comfort. Hypnosis is the natural cure to stop anxiety and panic attacks. https://www.health.harvard.edu/alternative-and-integrative-health/could-hypnotherapy-help-you #:~:text=Hypnotherapy helps you control or,anxiety, pain, or insomnia.&text=Tap into your brain’s circuitry to boost treatment for your health condition.

Stop Nail Biting Using Hypnotherapy At Choice For Hypnosis

Do you bite or chew your nails when you’re stressed, feel anxious or when you’re bored? Have you tried stopping by applying bitter tasting nail polish or trimming your nails short? Did you find yourself spending money at a salon in hopes that a manicure would encourage you to stop only to find within a day or two you were back at the habit? It can be pretty discouraging when every tip under the sun to quit biting your nails failed measurably.

You Too Can Grow Nice Healthy Nails You Can Be Proud Of

I recently had a young, smart, attractive young lady come to see me because she too had tried every method to quit biting her nails, but nothing worked. She came to see me because in a few short weeks she had a job interview at an upscale restaurant. She wanted to make a good impression and felt that her bitten down to the cuticles nails might create a negative image of herself and she didn’t want to take that chance. A few weeks after her hypnosis session she called to thank me because she not only completely stopped bitting her nails, she had her first ever manicure and she also got the job!

The Effects of Biting Nails�

Nail biting is a compulsive habit that is commonly found in approximately 30% of the population. It is present in both children and adults. But nail biting is more than just a bad habit which negatively affects the appearance of your hands. It also affects your health. I explained to my client, that biting the nails could potentially cause fungus infections around the nail beds or it could lead to colds as well as other illnesses. And what most people don’t think of when it comes to biting the nails, is the harm it can cause to their teeth. Biting your nails can lead to teeth shifting out of place as well as breaking tooth enamel.�

Nail Bitting Is A Habit�

�Generally, nail biting is the result of a nervous habit that occurs as a way to find relief from stressful, anxious situations. But can also be due frustration, impatience, boredom or “ during moments of intense concentration”. https://www.healthline.com/health/why-do-people-bite-their-nails -causes-of-nail-biting But no matter how ingrained the habit is, you can stop it. Hypnosis is an easy and quick way to stop.

Hypnosis For Nail Biting is Easy To Treat��

Hypnosis is one of the most effective methods for ending nail-biting, by addressing the subconscious triggers of the habit. Hypnosis works with the subconscious mind, where all habits, both good and bad are stored. In fact everything you have ever learned is stored in the subconscious, you can think of it as your huge memory bank. This part of the mind also helps to manage the triggers that led to the nail bitting behavior in the first place. During a hypnotherapy session, I guide individuals towards a wonderful, incredibly deep, safe state of relaxation where your subconscious mind is open to making positive changes. With hypnosis it is easy to identify and address the triggers behind the behavior and easy to replace the bad habit with a healthier, more positive action.�

Choice For Hypnosis The Mind Body Solution Has A Solution For You�

I’ve had well over 25 years of working as a professional hypnotherapist and have found that it typically takes just one to two sessions of to completely stop the nail biting habit. So you are able to grow healthy, nice looking nails you can be proud of. ��

If nail biting is a problem for you, make an appointment today at Choice For Hypnosis New Hampshire’s Mind Body Solution and your problem will be gone.

“I eat when I’m hungry, I eat when I’m not hungry. I eat when I’m happy, I eat when I’m sad. I eat at night. I eat all the time!

Want To Know Why You Can’t Stop Eating?

Many of the foods we eat have a significant effect on our mood, our appetite and our cravings. Unfortunately, today we are bombarding our body and mind with unhealthy amounts of processed foods, foods that are filled with salt, sugar and fat.

Research is showing these foods may actually become addictive for some individuals. The big food industry, much like the cigarette companies, use additives that make it easier for your body to absorb more ni****ne. The food companies are loading foods with hidden sugars, fats, salt and additives, manipulating foods to be more addictive. Because of this many people have found it to be nearly impossible to stop eating them.This is because of what it does to your brain.

The brains’ communication with nerve cells is the basis behind everything you think, feel, and do. “Neurons that respond to the pleasurable aspects of food are part of the opioid circuitry, they produce pleasure, much like narcotic drugs.
The most sensitive part of opioid circuitry, is the pleasure center of brain ( hot spot)”. This is concentrated in the hypothalamus at the base of the brain where It regulates eating, sleeping, aggression, drinking, sexual desire. Highly palatable foods, activate the opioid circuitry in the brain. And for many of us, once this is stimulated it does not shut off. Now, you are not only conditioned to eat, you’re driven to eat! Like a person on drugs, you seek it out!
Fat and sugar and salt are the three main culprits that stimulate your brain to make you eat more. While you think you’re just answering your hunger cues, in reality, your body is being over-stimulated to eat more than your body needs.“Research on rats from Connecticut College has shown that Oreo cookies activate more neurons in the pleasure center of the rats’ brains than co***ne does (and just like humans, the rats would eat the filling first).” https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/experts-is-sugar-addictive-drug
Highly palatable foods, activate the brain and once stimulated, doesn’t shut off. Now not only conditioned, to eat but driven. Stimuli is not only learned, but now we become motivated to seek it out. So the behavior becomes conditioned and driven. ( addictive for some)
It’s not that you don’t have will power to stop your overeating the food manufacturers are purposely manipulating your brain pathways, exploiting them by making foods that are hyperpalatable, too hard to resist!
And I haven’t even mentioned the health dangers that these ultra high processed foods pose, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and of course obesity. These are just some of the known risks associated with hyper-palatable foods. https://today.ku.edu/2023/01/30/research-shows-impact-hyper-palatable-foods-across-four-dietsmHyperpalatable food (HPF)
High levels of fat, sugar, sodium, or carbohydrates trigger the brain's reward system, encouraging excessive eating.[1] The concept of hyperpalatability is foundational to ultra-processed foods, which are usually engineered to have enjoyable qualities of sweetness, saltiness, or richness.Hyperpalatable foods play a role in “cravings and may interfere with the body's ability to regulate appetite and satiety."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpalatable_food #:~:text=Hyperpalatable food (HPF) combines high,reward system, encouraging excessive eating.
The European Union prohibits many food additives. But, it has been determined that foods in America contain approximately 60% or more of coloring, flavoring agents, preservatives, sweeteners and more.“https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/well/eat/food-additives-banned-Europe-united-states.html #:~:text=The European Union prohibits many, widely used in American foods.
Food companies are purposely loading foods in order to get you to keep eating them which mean you keep buying them. Their profits keep going up and so are the numbers on your scale! ��Some people can eat whatever they want and maintain a perfect weight. But some of us are not that lucky, some of us crave sweets, fatty foods, hyperpalatable foods. You can lose weight and you can do it without having your stomach stapled or taking pills that will affect your nervous system, without replacing food with liquid drinks. These methods are just too risky and they are not healthy.

I will help you lose weight with a combination of hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy. Learning new, eating habits is possible, especially with hypnosis, which can help prevent you from acting out on your old food urges. You can learn new behaviors and have new healthy food thoughts rather than turning to the old ones.

Typically it isn’t enough to avoid sugary, fatty foods on your own. You will need to be able to employ a variety of cognitive and behavioral tools in order to succeed. And then you will need to practice using these tools. Again, hypnosis helps you by changing the way you think and feel about these foods, hypnosis makes it easier for you!

Each person is different. Each of us are tempted by different cues and different behaviors that’s why you need guidance and support. I am offering you a program designed to do just that. Choice For Hypnosis is weight loss program is designed to replace your old set of automatic eating behaviors for healthier ones. These new responses need to be entrenched and automatic and a part of your repertoire so you end up walking past tempting foods. Soon enough you’ll hear yourself say, “I no longer want or desire that food.” Don’t let the food companies have power over you, let me help you, let’s do it together!

Ladies, It's Time To Get Honest About What May Be Causing You To Overeat

Do You Tend To…
Always put others needs first? Try to keep everyone happy? Be over responsible? Do more than your fair share? The above standards isn't something we would ever impose on others, yet, many of us do our best to help everyone but ourselves. This type of thinking can result in losing control over our eating, over our health and over our lives.

If You Don’t Get Your Needs Met One Way You’ll Get them Another Way
When you give so much that your mind and body feel drained and you feel empty, food can feel like the only way to fill you up. Food can seem like the only thing you can give yourself. But what happens after you eat the food you don’t really need? You feel more pain and more disappointment in life.

Being Unkind To Yourself Will Drive You To Eat
It’s time to be honest when you say to yourself, ”I worked so hard I can treat myself to more dessert”. This self indulgence is really self deception. The truth is, you aren’t being good to yourself, to your body, or to your soul. Working too long, working too hard for everyone else is hurting you, it has created a deficit and food fills it only temporarily. What you really need to do is rest a little.

Setting Boundaries Would Lower The Need To Overeat
Say,"yes to others when you mean it and “No” when you have too many things to do, or just say, “Maybe,” when you aren't sure about doing their request. Tell them, “I wish I could, but there are other things I need to say yes to.” Tell them you have a “full plate.” Because if you keep doing for others and have no time for yourself you may end up going home and adding more food to that plate then you need to.

ARE YOU DRIVEN TO EAT?
The brains’ communication with nerve cells is the basis behind everything you think, feel, and do. Neurons that respond to the pleasurable aspects of food are part of the opioid circuitry, they produce pleasure, much like narcotic drugs.

The most sensitive part of opioid circuitry, is the pleasure center of brain.

YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED TO OVEREAT!
It’s not that you don’t have will power to stop your overeating it’s the fault of the food manufacturers that are purposely manipulating your brain pathways, exploiting your brain by making foods that are hyperpalatable, too hard to resist! And I haven’t even mentioned the health dangers that these ultra high processed foods pose, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and of course obesity.

IT’S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT WILL POWER!

For many once stimulated, they don’t shut off. Now you are not only conditioned to eat thesefoods you are actually driven to eat them and you seek them out!

In Europe, many food additives are prohibited. But it’s a different story in the United States where over 60% of our foods contain coloring, preservatives and sweeteners. And that is not the worst of it. There are other far more dangerious chemicals that that the FDA hasn’t banned. Some of these food additives that cause a threat to our health. These substances are “brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propyl paraben, Red Dye No. 3, and titanium dioxide, each been linked to serious health problems, including higher risk of cancer, nervous system damage, hyperactivity, and other behavioral problems”. These chemicals are added to make foods look more inviting, taste better and stay fresher for a longer time.

CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS
CHANGE YOUR WEIGHT

The mind and body are so well connected that the body often does not know whether something is real or imagined. So when your mind creates an image your central nervous system and whole body will process the image as if it were real. This is obvious when you are immersed in watching a good TV program or movie, sad movies make you cry, thrillers make your heart rate go up, and the cooking channel makes you drool. Your subconscious treats an experience as real, and your body responds as if it were real. This is what happens in hypnosis and why people lose weight easily with hypnosis.

Your subconscious speaks in images, feelings and metaphors.

The subconscious mind is goal driven and responds to the literal meaning of the words you use everyday. If you are thinking of what you don’t want, your subconscious is creating an image of the very thing you want to avoid, and you will be unconsciously drawn toward it. The words you use for self-hypnosis weight loss must be positive. “I will not eat desserts anymore” is a negative statement, rather say, not eat desserts and less sweets and feel healthier and more satisfied”. Start with what you want, not with what you don’t want.

Thought Triggers
Disconnect pleasure thoughts with the behaviors you no longer want to reinforce, reframe “That ice cream looks really good” to “that is nothing but fat and more fat on a plate.”

Challenge the voice in your head when it says such things as, “I’ve had such a hard day at work I deserve to eat that.” “There’s no way I can throw out that pasta.” “I’ll make up for it by eating less later.”

“Everyone else is” eating it.” “It’s free.” You need to have a conversation with that other voice in your head, and convince it that the extra food is not worth it.

Remind yourself about the clothes you will be able to wear, how you will have more energy, how you’ll feel better, how eating healthier is being a good role model for your kids and so on… Remember, THINK FIRST, before you act!

Personal Development
A Vision of Wholeness

The vision of Wholeness is a gentle approach towards self-discovery, and distinguishing your own voice from those who have taught you what it should or should not be.

Human beings possess an inherent drive to evolve, to become the highest possible expression of life. Vision of Wholeness is a process of discovering more about yourself while moving in the direction that best suits you.

Often this means listening and learning from your own “ inner voice” that will help you discover and understand which areas need change or development, and how best to do that.

Though it may begin with an examination of one’s personal history, the process does not stay in the past, it is essentially concerned with the present and future growth.

As you become more conscious of your inner voice you will naturally begin to honor your own unique personality and find resolution of inner conflicts that were the result of one sidedness of certain perceptions, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors.

Through various simple techniques and utilizing hypnosis the neglected side of your personality can be expressed. This occurs without reproach from your powerful inner critic that has so long kept you back from having compassion for yourself. In these sessions you will find freedom and your true self.
