Welcome !

Your mind is far more powerful than you think!

Learn to unleash its resources and use them to break through whatever keeps you from living a happy, fulfilled, and serene life or regain control when things are not going well. The mind is the immaterial set of faculties consisting of various cognitive and non-cognitive aspects - called consciousness and, respectively, subconsciousness.

The consciousness is that accessible part of the mind that governs thoughts, intelligence, factual memory, and judgment and coordinates thoughtful actions. The subconsciousness makes up over 90% of the mind and operates on autopilot, guided primarily by instincts, habits, intuition, and emotions. Although they operate differently, your conscious and subconscious minds work together as coherent software to help you face life's challenges, survive, and thrive.

Everybody wants to live a happy and fulfilled life. However, happiness, health, and serenity are not randomly given to some fortunate people and not to others. Everyone can envision, pursue and achieve these long-term goals and aspirations. Somatic Hypnotherapy can help you tap into the vast resources of your subconscious mind to  free yourself from what is holding you  back from achieving your dreams; it can help you regain control of your destiny and thus live a happier, healt hier, and more serene life. Or, you can explore the 82 scientifically validated theories of human behavior and plan your happiness as you see fit.

As long as a fulfilling life spoils them, people tend to believe that their well-being is the natural result of their desires and rational choices. Only when things go wrong or spiral out of control - and people try to regain control but consistently fail - do they realize that they have rational control over their lives and can do whatever they want, only if and as long as they are not overwhelmed by emotions. Because in real life, when intense or persistent emotions are involved, they can trigger ingrained patterns of behavior that can cause a person to overreact to imagined threats or engage in unwanted behaviors. This is why constantly correcting behaviors is counterproductive unless the root cause is addressed.

The conscious mind objectively observes reality and coordinates emotional and behavioral responses adapted to every new situation, while subconsciousness perceives it subjectively and thus learns reflexes and habits. Your responses are repeated and reinforced each time similar situations occur; thus, you develop the patterns of your emotional and behavioral reactions, which are coherent and deeply rooted psycho-physiological scripts (software), governed by your subconscious mind. Although you can change whatever the conscious mind has learned and stored, you cannot easily access or control the subconscious mind. I, therefore, doubt that you could intentionally, by sheer will, erase or alter your traumatic memories or your emotional reaction patterns.

Apart from the divine spark, your emotions are the most significant aspect of your quality of life and the most undeniable proof that you are not a soulless, heartless, and purposeless biochemical machine but a sentient human searching for meaning, purpose, and happiness! Of course, everyone wants to be happy. But since there are unhappy and sick people everywhere, life's reality does not seem to emerge from people's desires. Even if by your willpower you manage to control to some extent the behavior induced by your emotions, I doubt sheer will alone can suppress intense emotions. You can fake it, but I doubt you can end your anxiety or pain and feel happy just by wishing it! However, many approaches can help you access your subconsciousness and realize your wildest dreams.

Of course, your thoughts can induce certain "states of mind" by selectively triggering or awakening emotional feelings related to your emotionally significant life experiences. However, contrary to popular belief, no known behavioral theories  claim that intentional thought could create or induce emotional feelings. Although emotions are mental experiences, it does not mean intentional thoughts can create emotional feelings out of sheer will. While thoughts are pure mental experiences and feelings are sensory experiences, emotions are defined as the result of a process of cognitive reading (mirroring) of emotional feelings. Since behavior is determined by how you feel rather than what you think about your feelings, the easiest way to change behavior is to change how you feel.

When you feel trapped by stress, anxiety, traumas, or other disturbing feelings, you have the choice to see them as an inevitable part of life and to believe that the best you can do is to learn to deal with them or to see them as a harmful presence that you wish to uproot and leave behind. I believe that you not only can but must let go of the disturbing feelings that keep you trapped in your past. Living with stress, anxiety, or other unpleasant feelings is like walking with pebbles in your shoes! You will no longer be able to focus on your priorities. Your uncomfortable feelings will distract you, interfere with your thoughts, and drain all of your energy. Learn to listen to your body's whispers before they turn into painful screams!

Don't fall into the false belief that there is nothing you can do to change your fate! If you neglect your negative feelings, they can build up and wreak havoc on all aspects of your emotional and physical health. Surprisingly, what affects all aspects of your daily life is not so much the events themselves, but the lingering emotional feelings induced by the perception of past events. Although you cannot change the factual past, you can still control the emotional memory of your past experiences - by reprogramming the subconscious patterns of your unpleasant emotional reactions. Whether you are at the beginning of your distress or already living with unpleasant negative feelings on a daily basis, Somatic Hypnotherapy can be helpful.

Hypnotherapy has evolved considerably throughout its existence, especially since Dr. James Braid described it in terms of an empirical medical approach in 1843. The different types of hypnotherapy available today differ greatly in their philosophy, approach and results. Somatic Hypnotherapy is a very special type of therapy under hypnosis which distinguishes by its pragmatic approach and, above all, by its spectacular results. While conventional hypnotherapy focus on adding successive layers of positive feelings on top of your lingering negative feelings, Somatic Hypnotherapy helps you identify, assess, and eliminate unpleasant feelings as you see fit. Rather than adding new elements in the hope of restoring balance and health - as other approaches do - this approach aims to identify and suppress the imbalances. 

Unlike conventional hypnotherapy approaches that aim to help you "learn" new patterns of positive emotional responses, Somatic Hypnotherapy helps you "unlearn" your negative patterns. Thus, through its individualized approach, Somatic Hypnotherapy can help you free yourself from uncomfortable feelings that keep you trapped in the past and prevent you from living in the present moment. Somatic Hypnotherapy can help relieve stress, anxiety, trauma, phobias, grief, guilt, shame, pain, tics, undesirable behaviors, bad habits, insomnia, and much more. With time and experience, this approach has proven to be so reliable and effective that the principle of " No Results - No Pay " has become the guarantor of the seriousness and ethics of my work, and it applies to all of my therapies. I love my work and my excellent references are proof of that.

When looking for extraordinary results, you better consider out-of-the-ordinary approaches! Most conventional approaches to emotions aim to teach you how to develop a good lifestyle and avoid thoughts, images, and situations that would trigger your lingering unwanted feelings. However, I hope you have better things to do than to constantly learn how to deal with your disturbing emotional feelings. Dare to think outside the box! You are entitled to live the life that suits you! You should be able to browse through the images of your unpleasant memories and think about anything you want without the fear of triggering your once unpleasant feelings. What if - like magic - you could achieve the serenity to think about anything you want, and your thoughts would no longer trigger any of your once unpleasant or painful feelings? Incredible as it may sound, this is what Somatic Hypnotherapy can help you achieve! 

While the conscious mind's process of consciously learning a new desired reflex, habit, or emotional response pattern may require sustained effort, the subconscious mind's learning process is almost instantaneous. It only takes a split second for the subconscious mind to learn an unhealthy emotional response to a situation that is perceived as life threatening, dangerous, or emotionally stressful. The good news is that with this approach, the subconscious mind can unlearn unhealthy emotional response patterns as quickly as it learned them. This is how at the end of your therapy, as you go through your worst memories, you will feel as if your heart has released or even forgotten the stressful, anxious, traumatic, or painful somatic component of unpleasant events of your past experiences or future projections that we have worked on - while your cognitive memory keeps the associated images and factual details intact.

With Somatic Hypnosis, you are not undergoing passive script therapy. The beauty of this approach is that I'm helping you rearrange your perception of your reality as you see fit. Your subconscious mind will obediently respond to your wishes and follow your instructions. I will be there for you, guiding and assisting you throughout your change process. You will become the master of your own change. While under somatic hypnosis, the moment your subconscious mind agrees to break with the unpleasant feelings of the past, your new emotional reality will kick in and you will clearly feel that there is no longer any unpleasant feeling associated with the events we have worked on*.

Although at the end of your therapy, you will be free from feelings of anxiety, stress, trauma, pain, or other unpleasant feelings from the past that we have been working on, you are only at the beginning of your healing process. Even though Somatic Hypnotherapy helps you reset your past issues, this approach is not some magic spell that will protect you from future problems. The aim of my approach is not to make you believe that you are some kind of emotionally shielded Superman and to push you to live like a carefree sleepwalker for the rest of your life.

My job is to help you identify and remove the padlocks that keep you locked in your self-limiting reality. I will help you reset your stress, anxiety, trauma, and other feelings that keep you trapped in your past and prevent you from moving forward. I will help you unlock your full potential and become who you are at your best! However, learning from your experiences, finding out who you are, and living your life is your job.

This innovative approach to health and wellness is so efficient that you will not only be able to solve several interrelated issues in one session, but you will get good results on the spot throughout your session. Somatic Hypnotherapy can help you even if nothing else has worked for you! Yet the only "magic" ingredients for a spectacular change are the skills of your hypnotherapist and your willingness to change.

My promise is that you will see significant improvement in your problem right after your first therapy session, provided the problem you wish to work on is within my area of expertise and Somatic Hypnotherapy is your therapy of choice. If you don't see any improvement at the end of your first session, I will not accept your money.

Discover how to use your subconscious mind to beautify your life by turning your stress, anxiety, trauma, and pain into distant memories. Learn to listen to your heart, to trust your intuition and the wisdom of your spirit. Your heart and your spirit are much smarter than you think!

You are here for a reason, and whatever that reason is, don't allow it to cripple your life: it's a safe bet that Somatic Hypnotherapy will be able to help you.
