Positive Neuroplasticity: Research has shown Integral Hypnotherapy® creates positive neuroplasticity.
What is neuroplasticity?
It is the ability of the brain to form and rewire connections and pathways between neurons. To you and me, this means the brain’s ability to change and adapt itself throughout life in response to learning, environment changes, and experiences. Learn more about positive neuroplasticity here.
How does this apply to hypnotherapy?
As a new (or ongoing) learning experience, hypnotherapy, along with other positive modalities, can help you make positive changes in your brain by forming new and strengthening existing neural connections. This may help build positive traits like resilience, peace of mind, and optimism. Hypnotherapy can assist you through positive thought patterns, affirmations and visualizations to reduce negative inner critical thinking.
What is Integral Hypnotherapy®?
Integral Hypnotherapy® is the scientifically validated methodology that I was taught at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America®. This method was utilized by a major NIH-funded study, which found it to be as effective as, and in many cases superior to, medication for the treatment of certain health challenges.
How to leverage this tested method to benefit your own life?
With over 400 hours of expert and physician-led training in this collaborative hypnotherapy technique, I am uniquely qualified to help and support folks seeking positive changes in their lives. If you are a busy professional working in a high-pressure career, we might be a great fit for each other. Check out my “are we a fit?” page for more information.
I established Melisa Sharpe Hypnotherapy as an online service to support clients looking for positive changes in their lives. Through hypnotherapy via Zoom, I teach self-hypnosis and guide clients through the various techniques tested in this study.
I offer a free 60-minute workshop via Zoom several times a year so you can experience a brief hypnosis experience for yourself, which you can find more information on and register for here: www.hypnomel.com/workshop.
***If you are interested in hosting a free virtual hypnosis workshop for your own group, please reach out. I love sharing this helpful self-care tool with others.
If you are ready to try Integral Hypnotherapy® for yourself, sign up for your first 2-hour session by scheduling a 30-minute information chat here: www.hypnomel.com/schedule.
