The Hartford Hypnosis Center utilizes a progressive method of hypnotherapy to aid clients suffering from a variety of ailments.

First and foremost: Hypnosis is not magic. It is a well documented technique with a rich history. Documentation of hypnosis has existed in the form of books and various theories/philosophies for hundreds of years. Yet, even though Hypnosis is an ancient form of healing- it is a progressive method by modern medicine standards. Hypnosis has become a topic of renewed interest in medical and academic institutions.

Hypnotherapy involves helping people discover that they have all of the resources they need to change, then putting those resources on the right track.

The practices of the Hartford Hypnosis Center are deeply influenced by the teachings of Milton H. Erickson.  

Ericksonian Hypnosis

Milton H. Erickson, M.D., was a pioneer in the field of hypnosis. He lived from 1901 to 1980. Overlapping with Freud and Jung, he was distinct in his innovations both in the field of psychology and as an American. Simply put, his approach was that of a country doctor who loved his work and his patients.

Ericksonian hypnosis a tool to regain vitality.  Fighting against the forces of darkness and deadness requires a lot of time and a serious commitment. Therefore, it is not for everyone. This approach to treatment does not exclusively focus on problems or symptoms but rather, it may reveal a deeper cause of trauma. The focus is on the return of feeling. The most important result of this kind of learning is that you become a better person.

The ongoing developments in both psychology and hypnotherapy are prevalent in the practices at HHC. Using Ericksonian Hypnosis as a vehicle, HHC continues to champion hypnotherapy as a method to heal patients.

Mentoring

After 40 years of practicing Hypnosis, it has become an obligation to pass this skillset along to future generations of healers. However,  learning the art of hypnosis takes commitment and time. Hypnotherapy is a dynamic tool that embraces multiple disciplines.  Some students of HHC are in medical school and want to learn pain-control methods or techniques to help cancer patients. Others are psychologists interested in broadening their training. Some are coaches, teachers or just ordinary people with an interest in this fascinating topic.

Students are met with at their convenience. The HHC's  one-on-one approach to teaching is the most  beneficial way to learn as it incorporates auditing sessions, practical application, study and an engaging, active  technique.
