Common Questions about Hypnosis

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a state of focused awareness and concentration, where a person is more responsive than usual to suggestions made by the hypnotist. The hypnotic state is usually created by verbal guided relaxation techniques.

What happens during hypnosis?

During hypnosis, the hypnotist guides their client through an inner experience and give them suggestions and ideas based on their goals. The hypnotist will use different forms of hypnosis along with teaching forms of self-directed neuroplasticity techniques to help you make automatic changes. You remain aware of your surroundings and later remember what happened.

Is hypnosis the same as sleep?

No, hypnosis is not the same as sleep. People under hypnosis remain awake and aware of their surroundings, while those who are asleep are unconscious. However, hypnosis and sleep share some similarities – both involve decreased peripheral awareness and increased response to suggestion.

Can anyone be hypnotized?

Most people can be hypnotized to some degree, though willingness and the ability to be hypnotized varies from person to person. Hypnotizability is influenced by factors like focus, imagination, openness to new experiences and trust in the hypnotist. People with severe mental disorders are generally not considered good candidates for hypnosis.

What does it feel like to be hypnotized?

Being hypnotized often feels relaxing and peaceful. you may feel as if your body is made of stone, you may feel as if your body is lighter than air, or you may feel as if you’re sitting in a chair. You remain awake, hearing and understanding the words spoke to you during the entire process. Some describe hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness or trance-like feeling although there is no right or wrong way for hypnosis to feel.

Is hypnosis dangerous?

Hypnosis performed by a properly trained hypnotherapist is not dangerous. However, misuse of hypnosis or employing it irresponsibly could potentially be dangerous and unethical. As with many healing modalities, the competence and integrity of the practitioner are key.

Can the hypnotist control me?

No, the hypnotist cannot make you do anything against your will while under hypnosis. You remain in full control of your behavior and retain awareness of what you are doing. The hypnotist acts as a guide to help you focus internally and become more open to positive suggestions.

Can hypnosis make me tell the truth?

Hypnosis cannot force you to reveal truths against your will. However, hypnosis may make people more open to discussing memories and experiences they have hesitated to talk about in everyday consciousness. Even in this state, people remain capable of lying if they choose to do so.

Can hypnosis help recover lost memories?

Because of the nature of memory and the power of our creative mind, hypnosis is not a good tool to use to recall forgotten or repressed memories. Hypnosis can help some people recall forgotten or repressed memories, though memories “recovered” under hypnosis may be real, imagined, or a mixture of both. The reliability of hypnosis for recovering memories remains scientifically controversial.

At Minnesota Hypnotherapy, we do not use hypnosis to find a repressed memory or a lost item.

Can hypnosis enhance my memory?

Hypnosis can help enhance memory in some cases, especially memory of procedures or learning. However, its effectiveness and reliability for memory enhancement are limited. For best results, hypnosis should be combined with other cognitive strategies like spaced repetition.

Can hypnosis improve my concentration?

Yes, hypnosis can help improve concentration for many people because the hypnotic state naturally involves focused and absorbed concentration. Hypnotic suggestions can specifically target strengthened attention skills.

Can hypnosis reduce anxiety?

Research shows hypnosis can effectively reduce anxiety for many individuals. Hypnosis promotes relaxation, reframing of fears, new coping strategies and feelings of self-mastery which can lessen anxiety responses. Over a series of sessions, hypnosis helps create new neural pathways so that the challenges that used to bring up anxiety no longer affect you the same way.

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis techniques to promote positive behavioral and emotional changes. A hypnotherapist induces hypnosis and provides suggestions to help clients achieve goals like managing pain, improving sleep quality, reducing stress, overcoming fears or breaking habits.

Does hypnosis improve performance?

Many high performers including entrepreneurs, actors, and athletes report improved performance through hypnosis. Hypnosis can help improve motivation, increase focus, reduce performance anxiety and instill visualization and other mental rehearsal techniques.

Can hypnosis stimulate creativity?

Hypnosis can enhance creative thinking, problem-solving and artistic expression for some individuals. The enhanced focus, imagination and access to the subconscious mind achieved through hypnosis can allow creative juices to flow more freely for some people.

Does hypnosis have spiritual benefits?

Hypnosis is sometimes incorporated into spiritual practices to enhance meditation, promote feelings of inner peace, and access to mystical experiences. Powerful and meaningful spiritual experiences can be explored and the lessons learned through them spread across your life. Those spiritual experiences may originate through meditation, plant medicines, or many other modalities.

What is a hypnotic suggestion?

A hypnotic suggestion is a verbal statement made by the hypnotist intended to produce a response, change thoughts or influence behavior in the hypnotized person. Suggestions may be direct (“You are feeling very relaxed”) or metaphorical (“Imagine yourself floating in the clouds”).

Are there different levels of hypnosis?

Yes, hypnotists often describe different levels or depths of hypnotic trance. Light hypnosis produces relaxation and heightened focus. A medium hypnotic state enhances responsiveness to suggestions. Deep hypnosis increases absorption in imagination and may induce amnesia afterward. There is no correlation between the depth of the feeling of a hypnotic trance and the results that a client receives.

Does hypnotherapy require multiple sessions?

It takes multiple sessions of hypnotherapy to achieve your desired results. Your hypnotherapist will spend time to understand your desires and goals and then work with you to create a series of sessions that take you there. A hypnotic session may include conversational hypnosis along with deep trance. Your hypnotist may teach you techniques to alter your state of mind and create a feeling of confidence or calm.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I came to Joshua because I was sick of my fear of public speaking holding me back in my work. His focus on executive coaching was a perfect fit and with his help I tackled a stressful project and "cracked the code" on my public speaking fears. This was a hugely successful professional development investment for me. I wish I had been able to do this earlier in my career and encourage others to work with him!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  When I started with Joshua, I was feeling low motivation. I was not productive in my work.  I had many projects and goals and I was not making any progress which was causing me to feel even worse.  When I decided to work with Joshua, I had no previous experience with hypnosis. During our sessions, I was amazed at how I was able to enter a deep hypnotic state and then come out of feeling completely refreshed.  Now I am able to complete productive work consistently every day. After completing the work I did with Joshua, I have a renewed level of confidence in myself and my ability to achieve my goals and make a difference for others.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Joshua is phenomenal at what he does. I started working with him because I found myself in a perpetual cycle of leaning on healthy coping skills in times of stress, and backing off when I was out of stress. This led to a pattern of doing really well in life, and then slowly falling back to old habits and abandoning the behaviors that got me feeling/performing well again. He has not only helped me identify what underlying beliefs and experiences cause me to perpetuate this cycle, but he's augmented my toolbox and given me so many resources to help me continually improve instead of bouncing to extremes. I highly recommend him to anyone that is a busy professional looking to level and find a new gear.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  My friends. This experience changed my life. Truthfully, I was very skeptical about hypnosis, and almost didn't sign up after the first session because of my doubts. For me, this was a last  try after going through numerous counseling sessions over different times in my life. I just want to say that if there are phonies out there, in this industry, Joshua Peters is NOT one of them. This man took me on path that help me to find AND accept the TRUE me. My advice. If you sign up, come in 100% putting it all on the table - EVERYTHING!!! That's the only way that he can get you to where you're trying to go. Be totally honest with him, and most importantly: to YOURSELF. Because he goes where you take him. He doesn't take you to the mountain top, and then just drop you. He takes the journey with you. My favorite thing about him is his accessibility. Sometimes I had to talk about things that just couldn't wait until class. He may not respond right away, but he will get back to you quickly (my experience). It does requires some out of class practice and homework too, but just DO THE WORK. Trust me, Joshua is going to bring things out of you that you've long forgotten. I would recommend to friends, family and foes. Thanks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I’ve had great results from working with Josh. He really listened to me when we talked about what I wanted to change and accomplish. It was a very comfortable experience. I saw results very quickly, sooner than I expected. I’m a recent client, so I am continuing to notice improvements. I started hypnosis to address some negative patterns of thinking that I wanted to change. It was a great decision to work with Josh at Integrated Hypnosis.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I’ve spent a lot of time working on identity and the idea of a “next-level self,” and I’ve always believed in how powerful hypnosis and imagery can be. That’s what led me to the Your Next Level Self workshop with Minnesota Hypnotherapy, and I’m really glad I went. What stood out to me was how natural and grounded the whole experience felt. It wasn’t about overthinking or trying to force anything. It was about actually stepping into that version of yourself in a way that felt real and accessible. During the process, I could feel the shift happening, not just mentally but in my body. That made it so much easier to trust and stay connected to it afterward. I left feeling more aligned, more clear, and more connected to the direction I’m moving in. I’m really grateful for the space Joshua created and how he guided the experience. It felt supportive, intentional, and easy to be in. If you’ve been wanting to feel more connected to where you’re going, instead of just thinking about it, I would absolutely recommend this workshop.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Like many, I didn’t know what to expect going in, but when I started working with Josh, I knew he was going to help me in ways that I wouldn’t anticipate. From giving my tools to help my procrastination to helping me strengthen my emotional self, it was time and money well spent. Strangely, the thing he probably helped me most with was helping me process long held doubts and questions I had with my father. It went from mild blame and a touch of animosity to a deeper understanding and peace with a man who was deeply troubled, and helped me process those feelings in a way I don’t think would have been possible otherwise. I’m a better human after working with Josh, and I can be a better father now too.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  You owe it to yourself to see how far you can go! When I called Joshua this summer, I felt like there was something holding me back. I was doing all the right things (at least I thought I was). I had a good education, worked hard, climbed the ladder, etc. But still, things just weren’t clicking for me. It felt like the universe didn’t want me to succeed. Then I found Joshua. He helped me realize the only thing holding me back was myself. His process isn’t magic. You won’t bark like a dog or get “fixed” in a day. It’s also not easy. You’ll need to have an open mind, be willing to learn, and recognize that you are A BIG PART of the problem. Seriously. You. Just like I was to me. But that’s how Joshua helps. He’ll teach you how to stop the self-sabotage, so you can have the life YOU WANT TO HAVE. It’s doable. Relatively simple. And it works, provided you do the work. Now, if you don’t do the work, it probably won’t help. But who’s fault is that, really? You can’t be a star, without at least a little burn. For crying out loud! Stop reading reviews and do it already.

He was great to work with and gives you many tools to help you not only through the process but also for future healing. I worked with him to help with my extreme anxiety. I have a lot of work to continue to do but have been given wonderful tools and guidance to ways to get my life back in track. Thanks josh.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I was referred to Josh for help with chronic insomnia (10+ years) and depression. The consultation Josh provided prior to making the decision to work together was a generous hour of in-depth discussion, during which time it became clear to me that Josh was someone that I could trust. It was an easy decision! From a business standpoint, Josh has an excellent communication system (it would literally be impossible to forget an appointment!), and he provides a client portal which gives access to some great resources, including guided meditations. He offers in-person sessions that are super easy to book online. I met with Josh weekly, which allowed the learnings from the prior session to remain fresh in my head, and created a sense of momentum for our work. Josh has a truly extraordinary ability to really listen; to capture the key messages contained in your story, and then incorporate that information into your session. I felt heard, understood, and supported. I signed up for a 6-week program and my insomnia has not been magically cured. Josh walked me through some really tough work that shed light on how my past has framed the present, including trauma related to a bad horse riding accident. Despite the fact that Josh is not himself a rider, our sessions produced some insights and tools that have helped me navigate the fear I experience every time I get on my horse. We also did some really powerful deep state exercises that helped me let go of some negative childhood experiences. Importantly, the work I did with Josh has stayed with me, and I have since had some "lightbulb" moments which I would attribute to our sessions. I would be inclined to dispel the commonly-held views/myths surrounding hypnotism. I did not experience a trance-like state, but rather Josh expertly guided me each session into a deep, relaxed, and very safe space where I was open to viewing past experiences (including trauma) with a different lens. Be ready to commit yourself whole-heartedly to the process; wherever it may lead. Josh kindly challenged me on more than one occasion, and I believe these moments led to the highest take-home value. Thank you, Josh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  The first picture shows a graph of my sales. The grey line shows the previous year, the blue line shows the current year. I had my first session may 12th. In only 3 weeks, my sales began to sky rocket, and all of the sudden I’m booking more clients then ever. The second picture demonstrates what a day for me looked like before I went to see josh. A single consultation, which eventually led to a client. Not empty, but a far cry from what I wanted as a business owner. The third picture shows what my average week looks like now. I had so much business I had to expand my availability. To what do I attribute my rapid change in success? My belief is that I’ve always been in my own way, and Joshua helped me realize that, and helped me to change that. I went from doing almost nothing to advance my business to creating new materials and working to improve my website and marketing strategy on an almost daily basis. I quit playing video games(which had always been a huge problem for me) and I stopped browsing YouTube/social media altogether(another big problem for me, and other people in my generation). Not only that, but I’ve been able to utilize and post on social media as a tool for success without ever feeling tempted to browse it. I’ve started writing a book, and work on it every night before bed, and the research I’ve done to write my book has helped me to do a better job with my clients. I no longer feel nervous or anxious before my sessions with my clients, I used to be afraid that they wouldn’t show up, and josh taught me ways of improving client attendance and helped me deal with my nerves. If you want to understand why it is that hypnotherapy works so well, then you have to understand something about what hypnotherapy is. Everything we do and feel is a product of our habits, behaviors, and self talk, developed by years of associations and experiences. Hypnotherapy uses an almost dreamlike state of mind and powerful suggestive ideas to create new associative pathways in the brain, changing the self talk that takes, and ultimately the habits and behaviors. In situations where you used to say “I don’t want to do this” instead you say “I’m okay with doing this” and then eventually “I’m excited about doing this.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  The results were way beyond what I expected, but was hopeful I would get. I worked with Joshua on my health and eating issues. I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life. I've tried every diet you can imagine. I've been through therapy, eating disorder therapy, EMDR- you name it. Joshua's process was very effective. The hypnosis made me see things in ways I hadn't been aware of or considered before. I saw him for 3.5 months, lost 20 pounds and am in a different mindset than in the past. Thank you Joshua. I highly recommend giving hypnotherapy with Joshua a try-you'll love the results

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I came to Josh after experiencing panic attacks while driving on the highway. I was desperate to get this under control and traditional therapy wasn’t making a noticeable difference. I’m so thankful I chose to work with Josh. He was very understanding and I felt he was invested in me and my issue. Our sessions ended a few months ago and I am now able to drive from MN to SD to see my family without panic and fear. The process is safe and the benefit is real. At no point was I unaware of what was taking place. I did a combination of face to face and video sessions. The anxiety was awful and I’m so thankful I engaged in this process with Josh. What a relief - literally.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I just had a hypnosis treatment from Josh,  and my MIND IS BLOWN.  I am no stranger to personal work, as a hypnotherapist myself I have received a lot of work and his session was phenomenal.  Very thorough, very clear, and very very deep.  Josh came at a complicated issue from it's many angles and facets which was both revelatory and healing for me.  I am really looking forward to being able to move forward in life without the burden of having to manage the issue in the very poor way that I was before his help.  Thank you a million times!!!!   And yes, I absolutely recommend him, even from a distance, as we did our session via video online.

As the owner of 2 Businesses that require me to promote my products and services in person, on the phone, as well as on social media. I have a special needs child who is wonderful, however I'm also on high alert a lot.  I found myself stuck, over thinking and unable to pick up the phone. I was really impressed with Joshua's process, his transparency, and empathy about what I was going through. Then taking his knowledge and skill and creating a plan and tools to help me overcome my fear, anxiety and over thinking. I am now free of many of the things that have held me back and I still have access to the tools to continue growing. All of my businesses are thriving and most importantly I feel comfortable in my own skin again. Worth every penny. Thank you Joshua and your X-Factor Hypnosis system

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I met Joshua roughly a year ago in a networking group. I’ve been seeing him for several months.  I reached out to Josh for help with focus and to regain my confidence. Best decision ever! Here I was starting a new chapter in my life and I was all over the place, you could say I was a hot mess. I’d only been exposed to the entertainment version. I was not going to be put under and be made to bark like a dog, version. It was so not like that at all; Josh has such a calming effect; I immediately was put at ease, with results showing after just one session that continues to build. The tools he equipped me with, were so easy to put into use. I have empowered myself with seeing my self worth, abilities, with clear focus. I know where I want to go and who I want to be when I get there. Joshua  illuminated the path. The best part, it all made so much sense to me. I have a renewed confidence opening doors of opportunity; I cannot thank you enough, for all your help.

He really makes sure to spend quality time with his clients to help them achieve their goals. After one session I noticed a difference in my life! I have been struggling to get my conscious and subconscious to align, as in do the things I really want to do, and working with Josh has done just that. I kind of felt like Josh was a coach too, he really helped me in a few areas with my business and gave me some valuable advice. I highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I came to Joshua when I was at a low point in my life. I had been dealing with panic disorder for around 8 years now. Joshua helped introduce me to a different way of therapy. His techniques for calming the body when in a crisis have been extremely useful to me. It feels better knowing that I have skills to cope better on a daily basis. Joshua has given me a new positivity to take forward in my mental health journey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I recently finished my hypnosis sessions with Joshua Peters, and I’m so glad I took this step. When I reached out, I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the new challenges I kept facing. I wanted to gain clarity and feel more at ease. The results have been amazing. I feel noticeably calmer, more empowered, and I’ve gained a clear sense of direction. This has been a truly positive transformation for me. What I appreciated most about working with Joshua was his supportive and uplifting approach. He has a remarkable ability to guide you in a way that feels both effective and empowering. If you’re considering hypnosis, I highly recommend Joshua. It’s a powerful experience that can help you make meaningful changes. Thank you, Joshua, for helping me find clarity and calm!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I needed to sleep more to up my performance edge as an entrepreneur. I know that when I sleep, I focus.  And when I focus, I perform insanely well in anything I set my mind to.  I didn't follow the pattern and yet Josh was there with me - pivoting each session and tailoring it to what I needed to break through and the surprise encounters we had along the way.  In 6 weeks of working together.  We got to where I wanted to go.  It started with sleep - but ended up with a series of underlying breakthroughs that have helped me with so much more than sleep.  My revenue, business performance, and life satisfaction are reflective of what Josh has helped me accomplish.  Thanks Josh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Josh really helped me out with multiple issues I was experiencing at the time. I’m finding myself to be more calm in stressful situations and able to stay grounded and present when I need to be. This is an ongoing process and it takes “work” to maintain and to achieve your goal, and I still have a ways to go. However, I would recommend Josh’s service as a wonderful starting point to get the process going and to learn how to change your “pathways” to create the outcome you’re seeking.

 Verified  I heard about hypnotherapy through a random conversation and started looking around for an expert to speak to. I found Josh and got in touch with him. I had a pretty open mind and no expectations. I was having a hard time managing my stress overall and felt like I had lost the will to dig deep. I was giving in to the temptation of food and doing a bit of anxiety eating. Josh and I worked on multiple areas throughout our sessions, but we managed to keep a constant focus on certain areas throughout. He's helped me kill off my anxiety eating, given me valuable tools to handle my stress (rooted in science), and helped me boost my resilience. Thanks to Josh, I've been able to dig into my past and face some of my previous experiences. He is very patient and understanding. I often got the impression that he'd heard my problem before and he knew exactly how to remedy it in our sessions. If you are skeptical, I highly recommend doing some of your own research and then hopping on a quick discovery call with Josh. As long as you approach your sessions with the mindset of letting go of expectations and trusting that you will progress, you will get a lot out of working with Josh in a short period of time. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I came for hypnosis due to a persistent cough.  I was told by my referring doctor that my coughing had a psychological component which was not being reached.  I was willing to see what hypnosis might do for me as I have been working on the coughing for over 6 years. After the first session I felt immediate relief.  No the cough was not gone, but the breathing was now deep and about 50% better .I knew then that this would definitely help me. As we progressed (6 total sessions) the coughing had diminished by about 85%.  That is a win in my eyes because I know I continue to heal from many years of coughing. The added benefit were other issues that the sessions allowed me to access and begin to sort out which were contributing to the underlying coughing. Dr. Peters conducted himself with honesty and intergrity at all times .I was at ease with him at all times and the results of the interaction.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Before I reached out for X-Factor Hypnosis, I was feeling incredibly stressed out due to my fear of public speaking. It was affecting my business and personal life, causing me a great deal of anxiety and limiting my opportunities for growth. The results I've experienced have been truly transformative. Working with Joshua I've been able to overcome my fear of public speaking and now feel confident and empowered whenever I need to speak in front of others. I'm no longer held back by anxiety, and I'm able to pursue opportunities. What I liked most about the process was how effective it was. The sessions were tailored to my specific needs and goals, and I could feel myself making progress with each session. The techniques and strategies I learned have been invaluable in not only overcoming my fear of public speaking but also in other areas of my life. If you're thinking about doing this work, I would highly encourage you to go for it. Hypnotic coaching can be incredibly powerful in helping you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. Be open-minded, trust the process, and be prepared to put in the effort – the results are so worth it.

Before working with Joshua, I felt stuck in certain patterns of thinking and more limited in what I felt was possible for my life.

I would highly recommend Joshua to anyone wanting to explore and activate new opportunities and perspectives.

I was able to learn how to use meditation to make me more productive, and have now made it a part of my routine. I would recommend Josh to anyone committed to making a positive change in their life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  There has definitely been a major, positive shift in my life since beginning and completing my hypnotherapy sessions with Joshua. I came in mainly wanting to improve my productivity--which did indeed improve--but what I didn't expect to also flourish was my emotional and spiritual well-being. I originally planned to do 6 sessions with Joshua, but due to financial reasons had to cut down to 4 sessions. He was very understanding of this and willing to accommodate when it came to a payment plan. Even though I had to cut my time with him short, I've been able to add and reinforce healthy practices to my daily life by continuing to listen to the hypnotic recordings Joshua provides all his clients. Overall, this has been the best therapy experience I've ever had and I will definitely return to hypnotherapy when facing adversity in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Working with Joshua was super helpful in helping me tame my intense mind. It was interesting to witness my improvement each week. The 6 week hypnotherapy was crucial in me being able to not only witness my mind but be able to make the choices differently then my survival/trauma mind was suggesting!

At one time I flew without any issues, then I started to fear flying. Joshua was able to provide the help I needed to fly again without fear. Since Joshua help me I have taking two flights without any issues. Thank You Joshua for your guidance and help. Charlie

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I walked into my first session 100% open minded. 100% ready to be vulnerable. 100% ready to do the work, no matter how hard it gets.  I suffer from Bi-Polar and Depression/anxiety.  Joshua helped me set realistic expectations hypnosis is not a cure for these disorders. But it could help manage the symptoms so I may have "a live worth living." I figured anything was worth a shot. In my 1st session Joshua asked me "what my world world would look like without anxiety?" I got hot and sweaty, I started to cry. It feels so impossible. I could not even picture what a day in my life without it would look like. With some coaching we got there, I summed it up to one word! “UNSTOPPABLE” Fast forward 6 weeks of hard work, and just like that If you were to ask me how I feel when I wake up in the morning. “UNSTOPPABLE” If you were to ask me how I felt when stressful situations arise “UNSTOPPABLE” If you were to ask me 6 weeks ago if I thought this was possible I would have told you "no." Thank you Joshua! I appreciate everything you worked  with me on. I appreciate you helping me finally have "a life worth living:"

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  This experience was transformative for me.  Joshua was an outstanding guide to and through the world of hypnosis. I felt safe in his care, which is important, as hypnosis is a very intimate and emotional process. I feel liberated from an addiction that has imprisoned me for most of my adult life. I cannot thank him enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I reached out to Joshua to see whether hypnotherapy could be effective in helping me unblock myself creatively. My six sessions were transformational. We addressed a different nuance in each session with a trance focused on rewiring that association or response. I recommend putting in the time to do the prep work, the reps of recorded meditations and so forth, to set yourself up for success. The more you focus on where you want to get to, the more success you'll have. In the space of my initial sessions I experienced a fundamental shift in how comfortable I felt in public speaking, dialed back my anxiety baseline, and I played the piano again purely for the joy of it for the first time in years.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I went to Josh for anxiety associated with flying but it was more than that, my anxiety was hindering me in every aspect of my life. After a few sessions and over a year later, I am still able to fly with no anxiety and my anxiety in general has gone away for the most part. Rarely if any issues.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  This was my first experience with hypnosis and Josh was incredible! He really listened to my concerns and helped me work through the fears I was having. At first I was a little hesitant to seek out hypnosis and then afraid of being disappointed in the results. Josh took the time to sit down and listen to my concerns with being hypnotized and walked me through the whole process. He even listened to my feedback about how to make my hypnosis session even more powerful (I found benefit from increased relaxation time to help me get deeper into hypnosis) and then incorporated this into each of our sessions. I was happy to report back each week that I was calmer, my boundaries firmer, and my business was flourishing! I wouldn't hesitate sending my friends and family members to Josh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I've been to numerous hypnotists prior to Joshua but he is right at the top.  He takes the time to get to know you and find out what works best for you.  He doesn't try for the quick fix, instead working with you to figure out where the problems are coming from.  I would highly recommend him.

The reason why I went to see Josh was to help me overcome some fears and anxiety.  He listens to what I am going through and provides many good suggests.  After a few session with Josh, he helped me overcome my negative thinking and have a better connection to my inner self.   I have learned to let go the old unsatisfied me and living the new me in a happier and successful life.  Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Before coming to Josh, I had overwhelming anxiety and stress with numerous things in my life. I had read a couple books, tried online practices, meditation, pretty much everything on my own. Josh was very welcoming. I enjoyed his process and using his own experiences that I could relate to too make sense of where I was mentally. The hypnosis portion of each session was very "zen" is the best way I can explain it. Digging deep and bringing things to the surface felt extremely good. Each week I went through different breathing techniques and various guided meditations. I can say after 6 weeks I feel more confident in my mind and what I'm feeling when something triggers that stressful/anxiety filled situation. I highly recommend Josh to anyone that is currently at a road block for what to do with stress and especially anxiety. Thanks for the sessions and tools, Josh. It was great! Harv

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I wasn't sure hypnotherapy would work for me, but I got a lot out of it.  It did more to help me with long-standing patterns of anxiety and stress than anything else I've tried.  Josh was terrific!

I could feel and see small changes in my life which included having better habits and I no longer am fighting with myself to do the things a want to be doing to get to my goal.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I highly recommend Josh from Integrated Hypnosis. He truly helped me learn to manage my stress and anxiety. I have always had high anxiety and suffered from extreme test anxiety. Josh helped me find the root causes of my anxiety and also helped me develop multiple tools for me to use to help manage these stressful times. It has been about 4 months since My last appointment and I have still been utilizing these tools everyday. I did use these relaxation tools before and even during my boards exam to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I finally feel that I have control over my anxiety.
