I first started hypnosis training in 1994. And in 1995 I received my certifications from Master Hypnotists John Overdurf and Julie Silversthone.  During one of these early trainings, a fellow student and I were practicing some techniques we had recently learned.  My friend informed me that I was blending the techniques and that I was creating new techniques.  I told her it was very difficult for me to keep them separate in my mind.   The first thing my mind does is begin making connections of all the other ways I could combine and apply this new information.  For example, I learned a technique to help someone feel deeply relaxed and wake up minutes later feeling like they had a restful night sleep.  At the time I was a massage therapist and could easily combine this technique to help my massage clients feel even better than before.  I learned another technique called anchoring.  When a person is experiencing a really great feeling simply touching them on the shoulder will anchor that great feeling.  You can then trigger that same great feeling for them by touching their shoulder again at a later time.  How many ways can you think of to use that?  I realized almost immediately that I could use this to help people stop smoking.

I thought everyone thought like this.  I was surprised when my friend told me that it is not a common way of thinking at all.  I tell this story as a way for you to see just why I would call my website Innovative Hypnosis.  I really have no choice but to be cutting edge.  It is just how my mind works. 

I Love It!  The feeling of seeing some thing for the first or in a new way is great. This is why I am so excited to learn more and more about Hypnosis even after all these years.  I teach a free self hypnosis class every week all summer simply because I love to talk about hypnosis.  I love to see the look on peoples faces when they learn some of the amazing things I have to teach them.  And I love to answer the questions people come up with.  It is the best.   On the surface it might look like I am teaching the same topic every week but I always end up teaching something that I didn't teach the week before.  I just can't help it.
