Virtual Hypnosis

My name is Michael Conrad. I'm a retired psychologist and a current hypnotist with 25 years experience. Now offering virtual hypnotherapy sessions, first one free, thereafter $100 per session. 

The mind controls the body. If it's your mind that is making you feel physically sick or mentally unbalanced, then it is your mind that can make you healthy again. And when your willpower isn't working effectively, then hypnosis will help. However, don't expect years of what you're going through to disappear in one session. Several sessions may be necessary. There is no such thing as a one visit cure just as there is no such thing as one pill from a bottle of pills is all you need.

My virtual sessions can lesson and even eliminate symptoms such as PTSD, depression, stress, as well as physical symptoms such as turrets, fibromyalgia, lower back pain that requires injections, restless leg syndrome, painless childbirth, and in eliminating a dependency for alcohol, illegal drugs and pain medications such as opioids without experiencing withdrawal pains. And then there's minor issues such as biting your nails, cracking your knuckles, the fear dentists or flying, and anything else you can think of.

Virtual sessions are now the most effective way to get help when you need it and I can almost always be there for you when you contact me and we can meet on the app called MEET which should already be on your phone or whatever video platform you prefer.

What exactly is hypnosis? The word hypnosis was originally created to describe the process you put yourself through in order to fall asleep, named after the Greek god Hypnos, the god of sleep. It's lying in bed and letting go of all the thoughts and stresses of the day, eventually limiting your thoughts to how warm the blanket feels around you or how soft the pillow feels beneath your head, and without even realizing it, you drift off to sleep.

What I just described is called "progressive relaxation" and it's one of two ways that a hypnotist will talk you into completely relaxing before saying that famous word "sleep," after explaining that it isn't really sleep but a complete relaxation of both mind and body before actual therapy begins. You can see this technique on YouTube videos by searching "hypnosis stage shows." However, this technique can take a very long time and not everyone will be hypnotized because not everyone wants to relax.

The second way to be hypnotized is the most popular among us modern-day hypnotists, doesn't require any relaxation, in fact you remain wide awake, and can be accomplished in as little as a minute. This technique is especially used on people who claim they cannot be hypnotized. The hypnotist simply gets you to stare at an object to the point where you are oblivious to everything else, which is called "visual tunnel vision," while you also focus your hearing on only the sound of the hypnotist's voice, which is called "audible tunnel vision." If you have followed instructions, which means you have created both tunnel visions, then your eyes will appear blurry, out of focus, distant. There is no need to say the word sleep because you're already hypnotized while remaining wide awake. In fact, it is called waking hypnosis.

Can everyone be hypnotized? NO. About 15% of the world's population's brains are wired differently. Another 10% either don't trust the hypnotist, are afraid of the unknown, simply cannot relax, try too hard or are easily distracted by everything going on around them and therefore can't progressively relax or create the necessary tunnel visions.

Who, then, can be hypnotized? Daydreamers, artists, musicians, actors, athletes, deep thinkers, introverts, puzzle solvers, gamers, visionaries and the like. Anyone who has a very vivid and creative imagination.

A brief history here. In the beginning, various hypnosis techniques were only used by medical doctors, especially during war times before the invention of morphine, which primarily calmed injured soldiers, put them into deep REM sleep during unfortunate amputations, and also limited infections and quickened recovery. Many years later was when non-medical people used their very limited knowledge of hypnosis to create stage shows for entertainment purposes only, while leaving the true medical effectiveness of hypnosis to us real medical professionals.
