I have been involved with hypnosis since 1967 when I first used it to improve my grades  at the University of British Columbia and then to get over a destructive chronic depression.  I was amazed at the power of the subconscious mind and continued to use hypnosis to improve my life. Nineteen years ago, I stopped teaching at a college level and achieved a Masters of Education in Counselling Psychology.  Since then, in my private practice, I continue to be amazed at the results that my clients are getting.  If you will read some of the honest testimonials at www.peacetherapy.com you will appreciate why I consider this approach more effective than the routine talk therapy that most counsellors use. On average, I only work two sessions with you and by that time your problems are greatly reduced or gone.  This type of therapy does not drag on for months and years.  It is also effective by long-distance phone.

Most of my clients come to see me because they have tried everything else and it does not work.  They are at the end of their rope and also fearful of hypnosis.  Stage show hypnotist give the false impression that when you are hypnotized you "go under" and are under the control of the hypnotist.  This is totally false.  With clinical hypnosis, you recall everything and always control your own mind.  There is nothing to fear and the results are often wonderful  and rapid. This applies to sessions over the long distance telephone as well, so you don't have to come into the office and make a long drive.

                                                                                                                                                                      No particular type of therapy works for everyone. I will spend the first 10 minutes screening you to be sure that you will do well with clinical hypnosis. About 10% of the population are simply not "wired" for hypnosis.  If you fail the test, we stop, I do not charge, and you can try regular talk therapy.  If you will do well with hypnosis, we continue.  Each session is two and a half hours and at the end of the session you get a self-hypnosis CD that you play every night while you sleep.  Even though you seem to be sound asleep, the right side of your brain always has electrical activity and creates dreams and nightmares and will listen to the suggestions on the CD.  This speeds up the healing process.  The healing continues every night until our second session.

To be honest with you, I must tell you that there is no perfect therapy. Some therapists make outrageous claims but cannot back them up. The honest testimonials on www.peacetherapy.com should suggest to you that this approach gets results that are far above the counselling norm.  By screening my clients carefully, this elimination  processs maximizes the probability of a satisfactory outcome, usually in two sessions.

 Please remember that you do not have to keep on suffering for more years, even if you have been to psychologists, psychiatrist and done the talk therapy route without any good results.  The medication you may have been put on is only a band-aid measure...the roots of the problem are deeper and clinical hypnosis can find and heal them.  You will be able to make peace with the past and make a fresh start no matter what your problem was.

You may be surprised to realize that, no matter what your problem is...it is about emotions..anger, fear, sadness, confusions etc.  From reading my website you will realize the wide gamut of problems that I treat succesfully...because the common link is emotional trauma in the past...it just presents differently... as sleep disturbances, rage and anger, depression, anxiety and worry, ptsd, irrational fears (flying, enclosed speaces etc)  eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, marital discord, chronic pain, et al....all treatable with clinical hypnosis.

I hope that you will consider clinical hypnosis and give me a call so that I can talk to you personally and give you more details. 1 888 873 6606  or  (250) 782 1514.
