<p><strong>Hypnotherapy</strong>, an altered state of consciousness that enhances inner absorption, concentration, focused attention and imagination. This method is used within a safe therapeutic relationship for relaxation, pain control, stress reduction and greater problem solving, among others. In a therapeutic trance your natural hypnotic abilities are enhanced to help you grow and heal.</p> <p><strong>Past-life Regression Therapy</strong>, an extension of conventional psychotherapy that incorporates the spiritual dimension. It extends the boundaries of the past to include experiences from other lifetimes as well as from earlier times in this life. Relationship issues, anxiety, depression, fears, phobias, unhealthy and repetitive patterns and certain physical vulnerabilities are among some of the problems past life therapy can help.</p> <p><strong>EMDR</strong>, a powerful mind/body therapy originally used to deal with trauma, and can be used as an adjunct to ongoing psychotherapy or as part of ongoing psychotherapy. While no one knows exactly how EMDR works, it is a physiologically based therapy that seems to have an effect on the way the brain processes information helping a person reset the normal healing properties of the mind. Disturbing memories that are 'stuck" are unfrozen and metabolized, allowing you to have the memories without being upset.</p> <p><strong>Shamanic Methods, </strong> modern day applications of ancient healing traditions that uniquely access nonordinary reality and draw upon spiritual dimensions for help. Nonordinary reality includes the realms outside everyday life. These techniques can be used within ongoing psychotherapy, as an adjunct, or by themselves. Typically, the practitioner accesses the spiritual dimension by journeying to the spirit world to gain help for the client, and often the client learns to do this for him or herself. </p> <p><strong>Transpersonal Psychology</strong>, an extension of traditional schools of psychology that both studies the spiritual dimension of human experience and applies this understanding to healing and growth. This approach promotes spiritual self-development in whatever form it takes and enhances optimal human potential. </p>
