Hynotheraphy for stress management

We all strive to fill our lives with passion, purpose, love, laughter, and peace. Matthew Engel’s hypnotherapy promises to empower you to achieve this wonderful state of being. As a Counselor, Intuitive Reader, Channel & Hypnotherapist, Engel offers clear insight and helps bridge the gap between your conscious mind and Highest State of Consciousness.

I’ve seen your flyers around town.  What exactly do you do?
I’m a Certified Hypnotherapist.

How do you use hypnotherapy?
I use it to help people dissolve psychological blocks that prevent them from reaching their goals, to facilitate healing and personal growth.

What is hypnosis and how does it work?
Hypnosis is a state of relaxation.  In hypnosis, people have access to information & insight that they might not access when their minds are racing in daily life.  This information is extremely helpful in solving various issues.

So you help people access inner wisdom?
Yes, but that’s only part of it.  In hypnosis, the subconscious mind can provide images and symbols that represent blocks, barriers, and emotional baggage that have been holding the person back.  I help people release them as well as the difficult feelings associated with them.  We then transform them into something positive – in alignment with their goals – and reinforce the process with affirmations.  When people desire change, they are receptive to statements that support them in that process.  A recording from the session reinforces the healing.

What is hypnotherapy used for?
Fear, motivation, stress, gaining clarity, healing from trauma, habit cessation, past life work, and more.

Do you specialize?
Having spent 10 years in the mental health profession, I specialize in helping people dissolve root causes of problematic issues and behavior without having to rehash all of the details over a long period of time.  Sometimes it’s helpful if a person has had some experience with traditional psychotherapy before coming to see me for hypnotherapy.

How long does a session last and how often do people come in?
A session lasts two hours and people see me every 2-4 weeks.  A single issue can often be addressed in several sessions.

I understand that you also do psychic work?
Yes, and that is a distinctly separate service.  We should talk about that next time! matthewengel.com
