So…What is Photo-Hypnotherapy?
Imagine an interactive therapy session that takes place in a private, relaxing photography studio in front of cameras. During the session, the photographer — who is also a hypnotherapist (in this case, me!) — coaches you through a series of physical movements; on multiple sets; with unlimited outfit changes that are chosen by you based on your current mood from an onset stylist closet. All the while I’m recording your moments with my camera and I am guiding our session with self-affirming messages. The results? Self-awareness begins to favorably rise and you leave feeling newly confident and inspired with amazing photos that showcase your personality, spirit and overall good looks, as well. 😉 This is photo-hypnotherapy and I truly love sharing the experience with my clients who leave with physical proof of their ongoing “trance-formation” as a result of our unique photo hypnotherapy session(s).
If you choose to experience a hypno-phototherapy session, you will be coached to voluntarily enter into a personal trance-like state while being photographed. These photo sessions couple trance-formative conversation with photography to favorably improve self-perceptions, self-esteem, self-awareness and self-worth. My promise to each participant is that they will see themselves – literally, “visualize” themselves — in entirely new ways. I do this time after time, session after session, and it is an immensely rewarding experience for all participants.
Photo Hypnotherapy helps my clients see, think, feel, communicate, create and achieve better. Coaching, coaxing and encouraging — self-expression is unleashed in a safe environment. Pose after pose, photo after photo, the outside acceptance that we all crave is replaced with an inner-sense of knowing — along with exceptionally captivating imagery that results.
Phototherapy is one of the areas of art therapy recognized for its significant potential to make participants feel beautiful (or handsome!) and deserving of success. As a subject works with me and becomes favorably cognizant of their physical appearance while pairing feelings of self-worth, a realization is achieved that is difficult to forget. Ultimately, as photo hypnotherapy clients see themselves through the resulting photos, breakthroughs in all areas of their lives start to unfold.
During each session, via encouragement in a relaxed, safe environment, imagery that is rarely seen becomes actualized because oft-guarded feelings and unproductive thoughts are eased-away and possibly even eliminated. Clients gain greater perspective as to their inner beauty as it is coaxed out through conversation, laughter, a bit of nonsense and a lot of well-timed camera clicks. The end images reveal new-found confidence due to the positive therapeutic impact—and the resulting feelings are not easily forgotten.
So whatever definition you choose for creativity is fine: Just be sure you choose to embrace your creative be-ing because you are creative and it is your untapped, ready-to-be-released creativity that is the catalyst waiting to fire up your energy for living your best life.
