Before my first hypnosis session Halbohm and I met to discuss my goals. We also talked about what I've tried in the past and what some of my personality traits are.
At my next session it was time to take the plunge and actually go into hypnosis.
First Halbohm walked me through how to relax, something I have struggled with my whole life.
"Hypnosis is a clinical thing. It is something where we're bringing you to relaxation. You're learning like a kid learns. Everything is slow, it's easier," Halbohm said.
Following that portion I then listened to an audio CD, which contained suggestions on how to lose weight.
The entire process was very relaxing and felt as though I was drifting in and out of sleep.
"When you're driving a car and daydream a little bit and miss a turn that's just what hypnosis feels like. It's very normal and it's very natural," Halbohm said.
Jessica Bair, one of Halbohm's clients, has used hypnosis to help her several times in her life.
"I definitely believe in the power of the mind and it's ability to overcome negative ways of thinking, and to choose positive ways of thinking," Bair said.
Bair added recently she has been seeing Halbohm for anxiety and stress.
