If I hadn't been interested in hypnosis before, I would have been after listening to this! Lynn Lyons gives a great explanation of what hypnosis is and how useful it can be, with tips of the hat to American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) and NPHTI: National Pediatric Hypnosis Training Institute.

A little known fact about Lynn: she uses pediatric hypnosis and even wrote a clinical text on the subject. The term hypnosis carries a lot of baggage, so we’re goin…

It's taken a while, but finally made a video to welcome people to the office!

🌟 Are you experiencing abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, or nausea, only to be told by your doctor that everything looks normal? It can be incredibly frustrating when you know something isn’t right! If your test results are clear but you still feel awful, you might be dealing with a disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The good news? DGBIs are treatable! In fact, about 80% of people with IBS find relief through clinical hypnosis—a safe and effective treatment that doesn’t involve any clucking like a chicken! 🐔✨ If you’re ready to explore options for feeling better, let’s connect!

🌟 Spending too much time on the toilet? You may not know that what seems like a GI problem might actually be rooted in a musculoskeletal issue. 🤔 Difficulty coordinating core muscles, including the pelvic floor, can lead to chronic constipation, abdominal pain, and even gastroesophageal reflux. That’s why stool softeners and laxatives often don’t solve the problem, just temporarily treat the symptoms.

🌙💧 Bedwetting can be an embarrassing issue for teens and older kids, and it’s tough for both them and their parents when traditional solutions like medications and alarms haven’t worked.

I've had the privilege of helping many kids facing this challenge, often seeing significant improvement after just a few sessions. We frequently use images from their favorite sports—like soccer, gymnastics, swimming, and basketball—to create metaphors that help them make the brain-body connection they need to stay dry at night.

If you're looking for support for a middle- or high-schooler dealing with bedwetting, let’s connect! 🌟

🌊🐋 One of my favorite hypnotic metaphors for insomnia is the image of a whale gracefully swimming in the ocean. Deep sleep is like that whale's descent into the cool, dark waters of the deep sea. This visualization can be incredibly powerful for both falling asleep and staying asleep. 💤✨

Hypnosis is not magic -- it is a tool that almost everyone can learn to use to help manage health conditions including pain and problem eating. The key to effectiveness? Regular practice. That's why I send patients the audio recording of each session, for daily use between appointments. When it comes to clinical hypnosis, repetition is important! 🧠✨
