Hypnotherapy…Hypnosis…

What does one think when they hear those words?

Deep relaxation, imagination, surrendering, resting… you can refer to hypnosis using different names – knowing that hypnosis allows you to access the place where your beliefs and memories are stored – so you can gain long lasting positive change and empower your life.

You will always be in control (and no, no one can make you quack like a duck…unless this is what you want…)

Let me share with you my personal experience with Hypnotherapy…

My name is Miri Malkin, I am a certified clinical hypnotherapist and a mother of 3 young children.

A few years ago, I knew very little about hypnotherapy but I needed an immediate stress relief from day-to-day life. I also wanted to help my children to reach their full potentials – mostly, through being happy and confident.

My search and passion to learn new things allowed me to start an exciting journey. A life changing journey. Literally.

It began with 6 intensive months where I studied and did lots of practical work towards completing my Clinical Hypnotherapist certification, and it has never stopped since.

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I have had the privilege to work with children and adults on eliminating fears and unwanted habits and behaviours that don’t serve them any longer and adapting new, positive and long lasting desired changes.

I saw, first hand, how hypnotherapy can help in so many levels and relatively very short time.

For example – I worked with children who were wetting their bed and within only a couple of visits had only dry nights. And children who formed new positive social skills and others who left their fears behind.

I worked with adults who lost weight without sticking to restrictive diets or depriving themselves of foods they loved; and further, they managed to maintain their new healthy weight. Others came to see me as they didn’t think they were good enough parents because they lost their temper with their children too often. Together we worked to locate the root cause, changed the unhelpful belief system, planted a new healthy perspective and thus empowered them to become the best parents they could possibly be.

Hypnosis is not magic; all intentional trance hypnosis is self-hypnosis. No one can tell you or make you do anything against your beliefs. During hypnosis, you can expect deep relaxation of mind and body and after the session you will feel relaxed and refreshed.

Hypnotherapy can help with:

  • Stress management
  • Reduce anxiety and depression
  • Improving self-esteem and confidence
  • Changing unwanted habits
  • Release Post Trauma
  • Alleviate Insomnia
  • Pain management (including Chronic Pain)
  • Weight management
  • Eliminating phobia and fears
  • Release negativity and increase positive thoughts
  • Release anger
  • Public speaking
  • Improve performance (including sport)
  • Dealing with complex situations
  • Focusing on achieving goals
  • Peaceful pregnancy
  • Quit smoking
  • And much more…

For children it can also help with:

  • Wetting and soiling issues
  • Learning and exams
  • Changing unwanted childhood habits (like thumb sucking)
  • Confidence and self-concept
  • Behavioural issues
  • Bullying and being bullied
  • And much more…

Along with the private sessions I already offer, I am also very excited to be presently launching, in collaboration with my colleague, Dan Behm, C.Ht., the Hypnotherapy Weight Management Social Club. The program consists of a support club with regular meetings that include group hypnotherapy, as well as the Virtual Gastric Band and private (one on one) hypnotherapy weight management sessions for those who are interested.

Regarding the Hypnotherapy Weight Management Social Club, we are holding an Open House, on August 25th, where we discuss the different applications that hypnosis and hypnotherapy have to offer for weight management, including the Virtual Gastric Band (also known as Hypnotic Virtual Band).
