“I'm completely lost, I can't move forward, I can't think, my brain is foggy, I have no motivation, I can't even work, I have fits of anxiety, I can’t breathe, my throat is tight, I have a lump in my stomach, I even have palpitations sometimes…” Who hasn’t already had these thoughts…? Sometimes completed with: “I wonder what I’m doing on Earth, really… What is the goal of it all ? Is that the purpose of life? To get slapped again and again? I have barely recovered from an ordeal and a new one comes along…?!?” Well… Welcome to the club! However, there is hope. Yes, yes. Because realising that something is wrong and having the will to move forward is already a huge step. The first step, in fact. The first step to get back on track, the first step to get out of that personal crisis and to understand that by changing our way of thinking, we can change our life. A crisis, in the etymological sense of the word, represents a decisive moment where we sort things out, which has the consequence of bringing about a profound change (*krisis comes from the Greek verb krinein, “to judge, to sort out”). A crisis can manifest itself through the symptoms mentioned above, but it can also be through an illness, if we do not listen to ourselves at all. Indeed in hypnotherapy, it is said that any anxiety, any illness, is in fact a message from the subconscious telling us that we are not where we should be, in our true place, because we are not paying attention to our inner self. A crisis places us at a crossroad in our lives. We have the choice to either continue on the same path - which rarely brings anything good since we then reinforce the same patterns that got us there - or we take the other path, 'the road less traveled' as the American psychiatrist, Scott Peck, would say in his book… This other road which allows us to discover something else… to discover ourselves… |

Henry Ford used to say: “If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got.” Right. But how do we change our approach then? How do we avoid doing what we have always done? Answer: By modifying your conscious behaviour through psychotherapy, but also and above all, by transforming your unconscious behaviour through hypnotherapy. Sure enough, ‘talk therapy’ allows us to analyse, vent out and understand how we function at the conscious level. However, how can we manage our unconscious behaviours -everything that is repetitive: Patterns, traumas, habits, phobias, addictions, anxiety, trans-personal or trans-generational behaviours? And on another level, if we believe in reincarnation, what do we do with these imperceptible but nevertheless often present messages, passed on from previous lives, asking for healing and repair? Quite a program, isn’t it? However, after a few hypnotherapy sessions, we can find ourselves changed, 'trance-formed' and peaceful, we can leave the past behind us, in order to focus on the future, and from there, see the present change almost in front of us, in front of our eyes… |

What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy as I practise it is a gentle and natural therapy which encompasses not only modern hypnosis, but also NLP, EMDR and sometimes other techniques such as EFT, QHHT… |

These non-intrusive, brief and effective techniques allow the brain to be reprogrammed very quickly. Modern hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness similar to ’daydreaming', a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, where you are there while being somewhere else ; you can communicate with your subconscious, without your conscious getting in the way. And because your subconscious is deeply receptive and suggestible when it is calm, peaceful and quiet, transformations occur quickly, in the greatest serenity. Neuro-Linguistic Programming, created in the 1970s, refers to the unconscious programs that manage our neurological system. By working on these programs, we modify our physiology and neurology in order to obtain a new body-mind connection.
EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing goes back to the late 1980s: American psychologist Francine Shapiro, herself suffering from anxiety, observed that eye movements could reduce the intensity of disturbing thoughts and memories, by focusing only very briefly on the disturbing event. Since then, her technique has developed and evolved, helping to relieve many types of psychological stress and serious trauma.
