*Accepting for Waiting List* I know the decision to come to counseling can be very difficult for many individuals. Taking that leap into the unknown can be scary (coming into counseling for the first time or seeing a new counselor if you have had counseling before).

Stressful events experienced in early life often lead to negative self-image and sabotaging mechanisms in adult life. As most modalities focus on alleviating symptoms, the causes at the root of our dysfunctions are continually ignored. Unresolved root causes are a driving force behind our physical, mental and emotional imbalances. Forensic hypnosis allows us to go back in time to the roots of o...

This can lead to self-judgment an...
