Chester County Hypnosis

I’ve recently been doing some work with clients for Gephyrophobia, or Fear of Driving over Bridges. I’ve learned a great deal including how widespread this fear really is and how generally unknown the use of Hypnosis to help it is.

Living in the Northeast part of the US, we are faced with the likelihood of traveling across bridges to get most anywhere. I’m in Pennsylvania and we can’t get to New Jersey without crossing a bridge. Any journey to the western part of the state in PA requires us to cross the Susquehanna River, by bridge and Maryland, to our South is absolutely loaded with water and, of course, bridges. Any travel to New York City requires a bridge trip or a tunnel or ferry trip (that’s another story I’ll leave for later). For anyone with a fear or aversion to bridges, it’s a difficult, if not impossible situation.

The truth is that many people suffer high anxiety and even panic when approaching these bridges and often cannot get across them without help. It’s terribly debilitating and often leads people to avoid traveling to certain destinations or often going miles and miles out of their way to avoid these crossings. It’s a terrible loss of freedom.

But, in as little as two or three sessions with Chester County Hypnosis, I can change your life in a most positive way. Call me at 610-296-4929 and get these fears behind you.

I was glad to see Dr. Oz on TV the other day showing the success attained by hypnosis using the Virtual Gastric Band technique. It’s not often that the medical community recognizes the benefits that hypnosis brings to people. Dr. Oz took a big step in not only highlighting what hypnosis can do for us, but also showing the valuable services hypnotists provide everyday.

The Virtual Gastric Band concept in hypnosis actually came out of Europe a few years ago. In fact, one practitioner went so far as to set up a clinic that actually simulated the medical Gastric Banding operation for clients, including the pre and post operative care. While this has been well received and has produced good results, hypnotists like myself have been getting excellent results for clients all along without all of the theatrics.

When you think of it, if we can realize that our mind can help us to get to our ideal weight, it doesn’t need much more than the determination, expectation and realization that it can occur for it to really occur. It’s as simple as that.

I’ve always felt that if I were to tell you that you had a Gastric Band installed, and you really didn’t, that you would hold that truth within your mind and know at a deep level that you had no limitations on what you could eat. I’d be lying to you and you’d always know that I was lying to you. However, I could tell you that you could eat less and become pleasantly satisfied and you could believe in that fully, because I’ve done that with hundreds and hundreds of clients.

The main concept I’d like to get across is that hypnosis is highly effective for weight loss. On that, Dr. Oz was clearly right and I experience it every day in my practice with my clients. We do it by changing habits and cutting down our portions, it’s a simple and easy as that. It’s highly effective, highly successful and, I believe, the easiest way to lose weight and get yourself to a place where you are happy and healthy.

So remember, that hypnosis is the key. It enables us to change habits easily and quickly and go from the counterproductive to the productive right away. My clients usually start losing between 2 and 7 pounds per week and continue losing right up until they reach their “ideal weight”. It’s healthy, simple and easy as long as they follow some basic instructions. No pills, no diets, no painful time at a gym, no expensive products or foods are needed. Your mind can do all the work for you.

If you think of it this way, our mind allowed us to become overweight and it can also take us to our “ideal weight”. Hypnosis is the key that can unlock that change. It can help get our wishes and desires across to our mind at a deep, automatic level with the result being that we just naturally change what, when and how much we eat.

Don’t accept being overweight, it just doesn’t have to be. Even if our parents and siblings have been overweight, it doesn’t mean we have to be. We all can change and it is our mind that makes the difference. Visit my Weight Loss page to see how you can get to your “Ideal Weight”.

Oral Frictional Hyperkeratosis or “Cheek Biting” has been something I’ve become aware of in the last few years. Basically, it is chewing, biting or pulling the skin of the insides of your cheeks. Most people who do it think they are unique and do it alone, but many people do it and hypnosis can help them change the habit.

The reason that most people think that only they do it is because it’s an internal habit. If we bite our nails, others can see the effects. when we bite the insides of our mouth, only we know. However, when we do that we create an open wound and some of my clients have said their dentists or doctors have expressed concern that they could develop mouth cancer.

I’m not qualified to make a judgement on that, but I assume it is better that you don’t do it. that is where hypnosis helps. In a short program, we can help you change your life so you don’t do it anymore. It’s as simple as that. when you don’t do something, it really doesn’t matter what the effects are, it really just doesn’t apply anymore.

So, if you do this, call me. Hypnosis helps amazingly well and you don’t have to keep doing this and worry about your health.

I’ve worked over the years with hundreds of people who used to bit their nails. Notice I said “used to”. Hypnosis is one of the truly remarkable solutions to a problem people can’t wait to get rid of.

I’ve never met one person who bit their nails who liked it. Sure, it provides some comfort, but almost universally most of the people who do it absolutely hate it. They can’t wait to stop doing it and most of them were unaware of how effective hypnosis was in changing their lives.

I’ve found that Nail-Biting is socio-genetic. That means it usually comes from within your family, with 75% being a mother-son and father-daughter transference. It is not like a disease that travels in one’s family, being that there is no pathological part to it. It’s not anything weird, actually it comes from when we were young children and we learned, unconsciously, to react to stress the way our parents, or even a sibling did. It’s not deeply psychological or a sign of deeper troubles, it’s just a habit we picked up at a very young age, as simple as that.

In fact, it has no more significance than a patterned response and if I was to ask the parents of most of my successful Nail Biting clients, they would say one of their parents did it too. You are not crazy, there is no deep seated emotional issues. It is a simple habit you picked up when you were very young. You may not have started doing it until later on, but it always was impressed upon your subconscious as a response.

The bad news is that it is a big deal to you and a habit like this is hard, if not impossible to break. Many Nail Biters go through their entire lives doing it. The good news is that hypnosis can help to change it, stop it and make it not happen anymore.

I find that we can make great changes in as few as one or at the most three sessions, where people will never, ever, bit their nails again. Most of the clients I see for this tell me they have a great sense of relief, like they overcame a tremendous burden in their lives. I never did it, so I don’t really know, but I do know how much they appreciate what we do here. They say their lives are changed so very much for the better.

I recently had the wonderful experience of seeing a young client who was having difficulty passing their driving test. They had failed several times and each subsequent attempt was accompanied with more anxiety, more tension and more dread. The situation had become desperate as it seemed that success was just getting farther and farther away. The prospect of attaining this very important right of passage for any young person seemed to be fading fast.

Fortunately, the teen’s father made a call to me to inquire if hypnosis could possibly help and I was happy to tell him that yes, it is very effective with Test Anxiety and Performance Anxiety. I am often called on to assist clients in passing Medical Boards, Law Boards, Real Estate Boards and other Professional Board Exams. I am also called in to help sports teams and individuals to improve performance. Passing a Drivers Test presents the same issues in that the need for us to relax to do our best is of great importance.

The first thing I had to determine was if we had a competent driver who was capable of passing the test. Passing a driving test requires adequate vision, familiarity with laws and practiced motor skills. After speaking with the father, I was assured the teen had completed a driver education course, knew all the laws and was, in fact, very proficient in driving. He said he was comfortable and felt very safe while his teen was driving. That was frustrating to both the teen and the parent, because all that required was there, except passing the test and gaining the license. He told me the teen was calm while driving and he had no doubts about safety or skill, the problem was just a case of “nerves” when it came to the test.

Getting a driving license is a big milestone for a teen. It is a rite of passage, a true indication that you are becoming an adult. Because of that, the actual event that holds the key, the driving test, can become emotionally charged. Fear of failure and anxiety can turn a dream into a nightmare.

With hypnosis, we were able to create a trigger with the teen that would produce a calm, confident state. We used a color that the teen said suggested that calmness, the color blue. We were able to have the teen produce this state immediately after the session, so the teen now had the needed confidence that it could be done at the time of the test.

Well, you can imagine the result. I received an excited phone call a few days later proudly announcing to me that there was a new, licensed driver on our roads. I was thanked profusely, but made a point to tell the teen that it was their doing, not mine.

This is just one of the ways that hypnosis can make your life easier and help you to accomplish things that you didn’t think you could. I wish more people would come to know that this a great tool to make their lives better, just as this father and teen did.

The New Year brings optimism and many of us will traditionally make resolutions for positive changes in our life. It is a time to turn the page, not only on the calendar, but from our past to our future. It’s a positive, optimistic time.

Most of those wishful resolutions usually end up in failure within 3 weeks. Our best intentions end up on the junk pile, maybe to be revived for next year. However, that doesn’t have to happen to us and I’ll tell you why.

Many of our resolutions center on our habits or behaviors. We may want to Quit Smoking, Lose Weight, or Stop other of our undesirable Habits like Nail Biting, Cheek Biting, etc.  and these are definitely good aspirations for us in our lives. They are positive changes. They will make us better.

However, we usually try to make these changes with Will Power.  While often thought of as what makes a strong person, Will power is usually misunderstood, overestimated and used for things it doesn’t work well with. Habits are one of those things.

Will Power is like mental adrenaline and its’ purpose is to give us a short-term blast of concentration and focus. When we are in difficult situations, it can make the difference between life and death for us. But it’s only can last for a short time.

Hypnosis allows us to communicate with our Subconscious Mind, our Inner Mind, where our habits live. With Hypnosis we can get across to that Inner Mind that we want a change. Will Power just can’t do that. When we get across our wishes, the change takes place. It’s as simple as that. Normally, we can’t get our wishes across to our Subconscious Mind, we have natural blocks in place. Hypnosis helps us to overcome those blocks so that we can tell our Inner Mind what we really want.

My big message is “Don’t Give Up”, when you attempt New Year’s Resolutions and fail. You have the right idea, have the right intentions and you deserve to make the changes you want. At Chester County Hypnosis, I can help you to succeed at your 2012 resolutions, so you don’t have to accept a needless failure.

With a little help, you can feel better about yourself, enjoy your new accomplishments and have the satisfaction of knowing you made a New Year’s resolution and stuck to it.

I’m Joe Nunan, Certified Hypnotherapist at Chester County Hypnosis and Hypnosis Instructor at The Hypnosis Academy. Let me help your 2012 begin on a successful note.

Here is a great question, can you learn in your sleep ? Of course you can, but not in the way we normally do. You see our conscious mind sleeps, just as we do. However, our subconscious mind, our inner mind, never sleeps. That is why you always should be careful saying things when people are sleeping, they will remember what you say. Maybe not consciously, but they will.

In the 1940′s, the US military was in a dilemma. Because of the internment of most Japanese-Americans, they had virtually nobody who spoke Japanese in the armed forces.  Without getting into the morality of that, it left them in a dilemma. Japanese, like Chinese and Korean are tonal languages, much different from English and European languages, where it’s not what you say, but how you say it that determines the meaning. tonal languages cannot be learned from books.

So, as an experiment, the US tried “sleep learning” on a group of recruits. To do this they played records or language lessons through barracks after the troops went to sleep each night. They also had one day of awake language instruction per week. The results were that withing 4 months they has virtually all fluent Japanese speakers. Back then, it would have taken several years of courses to accomplish that.

Dave Elman mentions that in his famous book, Hypnotherapy. He was supposed to interview the director of the program after the war and apparently they decided it was confidential and cancelled the interview.

So, I figured, lets give it a try myself. I’ve got some Plimseur CD’s and I’m going to see if I can learn Mandarin Chinese in my sleep, just as they did in WWII. Now, this is not going to be easy, Mandarin Chinese is considered one of the most difficult languages for a non-asian to learn, but I’m game. Also I have a good evaluation point set up as my wife is a native Mandarin speaker and has seen me attempt to learn Mandarin for 10 years with little or no success.

So, I’m going to use some of the Self Hypnosis techniques I teach along with the US Army “Sleep Learning” techniques from WWII and see how we do. If all goes according to plan, I should be fluent by May 2012.

However, the biggest problem is that I love to leave the radio on and listen to Coast2CoatAM every night, what a great show.

So, stay tuned, I’m going to do my work (subconsciously) each night with my MP3 player and then do a few hours of conscious listening to the same material each week. What I think that does is create the link between the subconscious learning and subconscious learning.

I’ll update you monthly and see if this valuable knowledge from WWII can help all of us.

Always remember, our subconscious mind is 88% of us, it’s our automatic, our habitual mind. Our conscious, our logical mind is only 12% of us. When our superior, logical, conscious mind wants to make a change, and can’t, that is where hypnosis helps greatly.

I always enjoy when people call who have trouble sleeping. Lack of quality sleep can have a devastating effect in our lives, causing everything from moodiness, irritability and poor mental performance to a breakdown of our immune system and premature death. Not to be overly dramatic, but I can not emphasize enough that sleep is very important to all of us.

The National Institute of Health estimates that 85% of people in the U.S. have either chronic or intermittent sleep problems. That’s an unbelievable statistic and when you also consider that only a small percentage of those people actively seek help, it becomes quite staggering.

The reason I enjoy getting calls from people who want to sleep better is that I know I can help them. Many of you know that hypnosis is not sleep, however it is the gateway to sleep. We go through a natural state of hypnosis, called the hypnogogic state, on our way to natural sleep. Unless we get to that state, sleep is not possible.

I often explain that state to my clients as being the point when your “busy mind” shuts off and you are not fully awake, but not asleep. Sleep naturally comes very quickly from there.

Normally, that state comes by natural circumstance, depending on how tired we are and what we have on our minds at the time. Often we can either go right to sleep, because we are exhausted, or lie awake and toss and turn most of the night. We become the victims of our circumstance and come to accept the outcome, whether it be good or bad.

I teach my clients Self-Hypnosis, which enables them to enter that hypnotic state of mind easily and quickly. From there, it’s just a short step to a deep natural sleep. It takes less than a minute and works every time. You are in control of where, when and for how long you sleep. Regardless of your current issues, regardless of your current worries or fears and regardless of the setting, you decide when you want to sleep and do it.

Even though I’ve had great success with clients who have come to me for Sleep Improvement, there were still some questions and doubts, especially from the medical community concerning the true quality of sleep that can be attained from the hypnotic state of mind.

In March of 2011, I went to Gnaden Huetten Hospital in Lehighton, PA, part of the Blue Mountain Health System and worked with Dr. Ahamed Karim, a leading neurologist there, and we evaluated several subjects on the Electroencephalogram (EEG) in order to determine exactly what states were being achieved with hypnosis. Dr. Karim confirmed in his findings that I was able to suggest, and the patient was able to attain, true sleep. Brain waves don’t lie and the Doctor was quite surprised and enlightened.
I’ve posted the Hypnosis Sleep EEG Results here for you to review.

So, the message I’m trying to get across is something my mother told me many times as a child, “You need a good night’s sleep”. She was so right and it applies to all of us. Our world moves faster than ever before and often we underestimate and undervalue the importance of that good night’s sleep. We often turn to prescription drugs or alcohol to help us. It’s not needed when we possess the ability to do it on our own.

You might know of someone who has been in the military who can sleep anywhere and anytime. That is the result of Behavioral Modification training. In Boot Camp, they run recruits to the point of exhaustion and break old habits and create a new one of being able to sleep anywhere, anytime. It’s essential for combat, which doesn’t work an 8 hour day. This process takes weeks and even years to set and develop. With Hypnosis, this can be accomplished in as little as one session.

You need not suffer with difficulty sleeping, it’s more important than you think. Good, quality sleep makes everything in our life go better, physically and mentally. It’s not a chore, but a time for our mind and body to rest and rejuvenate. We should embrace it and recognize it’s importance in our lives.

Every week on the show I remind people to “Fill in the Blanks” of their own changes that they want and need. I’m just teaching them the way. Nonetheless, it is greatly gratifying when people relate the changes, the positive changes, in their lives they have made to me.

I must admit I am enjoying the response I’m getting from my radio show Master of Your Fate, Captain of Your Soul on Contact Talk Radio more than I ever expected. Listeners are calling an emailing me about the methods and techniques I’m teaching and the response is very positive.

I knew it would be difficult getting my message across in Seattle, but I’ve found that common sense and sound principles work anywhere. I work in a hard market, the Philadelphia area. In order to get my principles across, they have to have a lot of common sense. The methods have to apply to the logical mind in order to be accepted and then sent through to the subconscious mind. No easy task in Philly, but it makes me sure that I have the correct concepts. Around here the BS sticks out, so I get a great sounding board on my methods and techniques. That is why I’ve made my methods so direct and to the point.

To pass the Philadelphia test, first of all it has to make sense. And when I say sense, I mean it in a big way in Philly. It has to make real sense in a real way. So, in oreder to teach my methods, it must meet that test first. It jus has to make good sense, otherwise, why bother ? That is a key of the Philadelphia mind-set and I believe it ships well to elsewhere. If it doesn’t make sense, we don’t want it, plain and simple.

Another important part of the Philly mentality is the reverance with which we hold personal achievement. We celebrate average people who do extraordinary things. We can be cynical in ways, but are extremely supportive of each other and their accomplishments. We want each other to win, in any way that we can. Be it small or large, we want each other to win.

So, as I tell my listeners every week, take control of your life and make it what you want it to be. The biggest obstacle I have to overcome with my clients and listeners is to help them to realize that they are not “stuck” being a certain way they do not want to be. They can change and every week I teach them how.
