an alternative perspective
Clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in private practice working with adults, adolescents and children. PhD in clinical psychology. Approximately half my private practice is working with adults, half with children. Of that mix, about half of my work is fairly general and the other half is with survivors of severe traumatization -- multiple rapes, molestations, near death trauma -- experiences that cause some survivors some very intense personal struggles anxiety, self-esteem, .
I've been studying, creating and practicing/utilizing hypnosis -- Ericksonian-style, hypnotic guided imagery and indirect verbal strategems -- for the past two decades. I've done research into hypnotic presentations and I've published articles on the use of hypnotic interventions. I frequently use hypnotic tape cassette presentations with clients.
Having lived on both coasts and various parts of the west and mid-west -- mostly in big cities -- my wife and I (almost 30 years married) moved pretty much as far from big cities as possible to the clean cool air and cool climate of North Dakota. My office now sits overlooking a small lake and through much of the year the fireplace in my office crackles with a cozy fire.
My work as a therapist, my work within the CDs and tapes, is based on an eclectic mix of simple practicality with solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral and strategic methodologies (ala Milton Erickson) and perspectives. I have a bias for assuming an underlying positive nature in the make-up of most humans. My hypnosis tapes and hypnosis CDs are woven with a focus a basic long-term goal of sustainable happiness based on maximized, practical personal control and influence over self and environment.
Examples of my outlook and inlook can be found throughout the performance-anxiety.com site, the www.head-cleaners.com site and several other sites (see the bottom of www.gmjphd.com), but especially in the attitudes and beliefs underlying head-cleaners recordings section of the hypnosis faq page on the www.head-cleaners.com site. My voice and style of speaking can be heard on the sample page, where sample portions of recording transcripts can also be read.
Head-cleaners hypnosis recordings are for people interested in increasing their self-control in general and their ability to handle some specific struggle or set of struggles that they have been finding difficult to deal with -- stress, anxiousness, anxiety, sleep problems, weight loss or eating problems, difficulty after a trauma, loss or change in life, headaches, performance and test anxiety.
My "head-cleaners" recordings are verbal tapestries of images, ideas and metaphors. They require some concentration, so people with auditory receptive learning disabilities or learning disabilities that compromise their ability to form concepts may not find my recordings either interesting or helpful.
The recordings are woven and spoken in the real expectation that many people can and will benefit from them. Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.
 | Please understand: I firmly believe that my hypnosis recordings will work wonderfully for most people. Some people are unnerved by hypnosis tapes and some people simply don't find value. Purchase a tape and try it. If it doesn't work for you, return it within 30 days for a full refund of the price and the shipping and handling to you. Your risk is the hassle of relabeling and re-taping the packaging and paying the shipping back. |
