Hypnotherapy
I love helping my clients release blockages that hold them back from achieving their goals, but realized the value of creating new associations within the subconscious mind. My curiosity eventually led to my enrollment at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute’s Nationally Accredited College of Hypnotherapy.
I've learned so many wonderful tools to assist people with empowerment and personal transformation. I have had the honor of working directly with the director of the institute and key senior staff instructors to learn to integrate my clinical hypnotherapy skills into my current practice.
See how hypnotherapy can help you discover your inner resources for powerful and lasting change.
Consults are required prior to all hypnotherapy sessions.
"It’s been my great privilege to receive inner-life help from the outstanding work of Jennifer Burrows through hypnotherapy. I’d tried various methods throughout the years to heal from trauma. The finding and practicing of faith have certainly helped, but a malingering need of my spirit had remained. With the emergence of my subconscious influence, encouraged during the sessions of the warm, supportive, capable, trustworthy, and skillful work of Jennifer through hypnosis, I have received the fulfillment of that need. Recounting my experience, the best way I can describe is to say that I have finally recovered an integral part of my pre-traumatized core. That is not to say there is no more to discover. That is to say that I am welcoming my inner child back to her right to life."
There are two key concepts for understanding why hypnosis is such an important tool for
creating life changes.
Homeostasis:
Homeostasis is our innate unconscious drive to “stay the same." What we are familiar with, even though negative, feels safe compared to something new or unknown. Our knowns are shaped by our life experiences. While we may desire a change in our feelings, reactions or habits, at a deeper level our subconscious defense mechanisms seek to preserve the familiar, resisting efforts to change. While talking, planning, discussion, and rational understanding of behavior are all important concepts that occur in the conscious mind, they are part of a minimal percentage of mind power compared to our subconscious mind; it does not address our subconscious tendency to sabotage our success and/or efforts to change.
Neuroplasticity:
On a personal, spiritual and behavioral level, neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change throughout an individual’s life. Our ability to change beliefs, emotional responses, and behavioral habits is dependent on the flexibility of our mind. Hypnosis, Therapeutic Imagery, NLP, mindfulness, and more are the tools used in hypnotherapy to facilitate the internal, emotional, and behavioral flexibility need to overcome homeostasis and release our subconscious needs to sabotage our success or resist our desires for change.

*All new clients please schedule a consult prior to any service. In person and phone consults available. Some services can be provided via phone or Zoom.
**COVID-19 update: I use a hospital-grade disinfectant for my biofeedback equipment and am spending extra time sanitizing hard surfaces in between clients. Since sessions tend to run from 60 to 90 minutes, I have things set up so that we can maintain the 6ft social distancing recommended during the length of the session, as well as masks. If you have any signs of illness, please reschedule your appointment. I will also be asking all of my clients to wash their hands before sessions. If you feel any level of discomfort coming in, and would prefer to reschedule, this is a reminder that certain services can be conducted remotely, from the comfort of your home.
