Hypnotherapy in Maryland

You don't give up. You've been to doctors, taken medications, done therapy, and yet you feel like nothing is changing for your situation, whether it's pain or discomfort in your body, an addiction to smoking, or dealing with intense fears. Perhaps you keep getting in your own way, sabotaging your real efforts and desire for change. The more you come at the problem, the further you feel from any sense of meaningful progress.

Hypnosis Is A Powerful Tool

Whether you are looking to change a habit that no longer serves you, manage the panic and fear around an activity you know you need to do, turn down the distress about a chronic medical issue that you have to live with, or find a way to connect with the wisdom you have within without running headlong into your usual defenses, hypnotherapy can help.

Using Hypnotherapy In Maryland

I’m Beth Charbonneau and I utilize clinical hypnosis in Maryland to help clients move more easily and quickly toward desired changes. By using the brain's natural ability to go in and out of trance (have you lost track of time watching a movie or been on autopilot when driving and missed the exit?), hypnotherapy allows clients the opportunity to use a relaxed, focused awareness to make desired changes in their lives. I’m a member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

Some common issues that hypnosis can help with:

• Phobias and Fears (including flying, animals, vomiting, medical anxiety such as injections and gynecology exams and more)

• Chronic Pain and Medical Conditions (including tinnitus, insomnia, pain and tingling, IBS and more) Check out this NPR story.

• Anxiety (including test/performance anxiety, public speaking anxiety, general anxiety)

• Habits (creating positive ones and breaking ones that aren’t helpful)

• Improving Self-Confidence and Stress Management

What Is Hypnosis Like?

In hypnosis, you will only absorb the suggestions that are helpful to you. You are in complete control. At no point will you hear suggestions to cluck like a chicken or any other antics you may have seen with stage/entertainment hypnosis. Many clients are surprised at how deeply relaxed they feel during a session and how quiet their mind becomes, even as we work on issues that have been challenging them for a long time. Issues that have seemed insurmountable often feel more manageable and many clients tell me that the insights they have during hypnosis have stayed with them for months and years.

Working With Me For Maryland Hypnotherapy

If you are seeking hypnotherapy in Maryland services only, without psychotherapy with me, we will typically meet for weekly sessions, with the length of treatment depending on the issue we are addressing (this can also be a powerful supplemental tool if you are working with a different therapist). You are invited to bring a recording device to sessions so you continue to enjoy the benefits of this at home, between sessions. In later sessions, I teach you the tools to take with you to do some self-hypnosis on your own to keep the progress going when we are done. Psychotherapy clients of mine can access hypnosis as one of the tools that I have available to assist you in our work together. Hypnotherapy can be done effectively both in-person and, much of the time, online from the comfort of your own space. If you are interested in online sessions, let’s connect and see if that might be a good fit for your situation.
