Clinical Hypnosis
As a licensed healthcare professional, I received my advance level training in hypnosis from the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) founded by renowned psychiatrist Milton H. Erickson, MD in 1957.
What is Clinical Hypnosis?
Clinical hypnosis uses a set of skills that facilitate a natural, altered state of consciousness called TRANCE. During therapeutic trance, the conscious mind is relaxed and relatively inactive, while the subconscious mind is able to access resources, skills, and abilities that are otherwise unavailable to the conscious mind. Hypnosis may provide the ability to increase insight, ego strength, and solution-focused skills.
Important Information

“Trust your unconscious; it knows more than you do.”
– Milton H. Erickson, MD
