Seattle Area Clinical Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapist & Licensed Trainer of NLP ™ shares the truth about hypnosis, NLP and the unconscious mind to create powerful, positive, and lasting life changes. Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP
Here’s my morning musing. 🙂 My teacher, Dr. Richard Bandler, says this: “The truth is that reality is built out of consciousness not the inverse. Our imaginations determine what will be real next.”
This is a difficult concept for many. Yet, day after day, year after year, doing this work, I absolutely know it’s true. What we focus our minds on we create in our lives, whether that be success or misery. What we’re thinking about in this moment creates our tomorrows. So, my advice? Think about what you WANT. 🙂 Not what you don’t want.
What are hypnosis and NLP? They’re express tickets into the playground called “the unconscious mind” where we can focus this imagination in ways to create a better, desired reality. I use the word “playground” very intentionally, because doing this(targeted reality making) is so much FUN and such a pleasant experience for all involved.
I’ve come up with a new description for what I do. Hypnotist = Targeted Reality Engineer ™.
There are so many myths and misunderstandings out and about in the universe. One that I find particularly WRONG is this: “change is slow and difficult.” What if that idea were utter baloney? What if that were only true for people who don’t have the right tools and training to make change happen fast and easily?
What if it was even worse than mere ignorance keeping people stuck in problem states? What if the idea “change is difficult” were being actively perpetuated to keep people from living full, successful and empowered lives? How would drug companies make their billions in profits and how would counselors be able to milk a client for years on end if change were easy?
Change IS easy, with the right tools skillfully wielded. Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy(tm) is amazingly fast for successful positive changes of all varieties. Behavioral changes. Belief changes. Feeling changes. Here is another live testimonial of quick success. Roberta Greenwood of Bellevue, WA had one session with me, and when she came in for her second session a week later, she gave her report:
“I had one session with Connie at Mindworks Hypnosis and what I’ve noticed is I have the ability to make better choices.I have the ability to NOT go in and buy the cupcakes and the chocolate cake that I normally did.And I have a belief system that tells me I don’t need that to be happy.And that is a remarkable change for me.I’m already feeling the shifts after one session.”
Her words are wonderful, however there is more to her message in her face and voice. Awe and relief. Watch:
Yes, one session and noticeable results. When you’re serious about personal change, you’re not interested in a therapist who will milk you for years. You want someone like me with a different business model. My business model is: be good, be quick, be efficient, help people ASAP to have what they want, and then they will tell their friends and family. That’s how my business grows. From success.
Find what works. Michael and I are Licensed Trainers of NLP ™. NLP has been rightly called “the magic of instant change.” When you’re ready for “remarkable change” in your life, like Roberta here, give us a call.
Like many, many of you I watched the SuperBowl yesterday. And, as the world knows by now, our Seattle Seahawks won. Crushed them! Happy dance time!
It’s a wonderful achievement! How do you win a SuperBowl? Well, there’s conscious knowledge of the game and strategies for play needed. There’s a power state of body, a strength and physicality needed. I believe even more importantly, there’s a power state of mind needed. A winning state of mind.
By the way, meditation IS hypnosis. It’s a kind of self hypnosis. This state of slower brainwaves, this state of quiet mind, with a narrowing of focus, and an inner sense of well-being, that’s absolutely hypnosis. When this state is created and the mind directed to specific goals, creative problem solving comes alive. Success happens! That sounds very much like what the Seahawks did and that’s what I do with my clients, sports clients and otherwise. It’s all hypnosis.
Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. Perhaps “meditation” is a more socially acceptable word for some than “hypnosis.” I’ve noticed that lots of very successful programs and modalities for change actually utilize hypnosis but don’t want to call it hypnosis. Perhaps that’s due to pejorative weirdness and misconceptions still floating around left over from crazy Hollywood movies and popular culture. They’re scared of the word.
Hypnosis is something wonderful. Hypnotherapy is a guided use of this inner-focused state of mind for very specific goal achievement. As the Seahawks have shown us, using your mind in this way leads to success.
Discover more about this power of mind for yourself. Anytime. My office is in Bellevue, WA, and I’m happy to show you. I love working with athletes, and I’m so happy for our Hawks! http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net
Exciting times! Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP sends our best wishes to our Seahawks out in New Jersey this Super Bowl weekend! Go get ’em!
I was born in Seattle and grew up across the Lake on the East Side, so, yes, this is MY team. Go Seahawks!
When the Seattle Supersonics won the NBA National Championship in 1979, I celebrated with the rest of the city and state. It’s time for another Seattle Championship celebration!
I hope your New Year’s Resolutions are happening for you. The most common one I’ve been hearing and helping with is “I’ve got to lose weight!” My weight loss clients tell me: “I want to get moving! I need to get moving!”
Beyond food choice and portion control, motivation to exercise is high up on the list of changes desired for weight management. “Let’s get physical, physical! I wanna get physical …” That song with its driving beat makes me think of movement. Working out. Active life. Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy is a way to make it happen.
Patterns and habits are learned. And, if they don’t serve us, they can be re-learned differently, in ways that help.
The “magic” of NLP is, simply put: We can attach new feelings to any activity. What would it be like to be full of energy and motivation to exercise? What if exercise became something wonderful and pleasurable and eagerly anticipated? What if your mind simply said: “This is who I am and this is what I do”? Do you suppose it would be easier to increase your physical activity level?
Here’s one unwanted pattern that I often see with clients: couch potato. Are you one? That’s a person who has developed a habit of sitting around, watching TV or surfing the web, with a body at rest for hours at a stretch. Oftentimes, this is coupled with mindless eating. That’s a sure fire formula for obesity.
With hypnosis and NLP, we can change “I’m too lazy” and couch-potato habits into a new mindset about exercise. A new mindset leads to new behaviors. In our work, we create and install new, useful mindsets for exercise. Here are some examples:
–I love it. It’s fun.
Or…
–It’s my routine. It’s just who I am and what I do.
Or…
–I have to. (a sense of urgency and necessity)
Or…
A combination of any of the above.
New beliefs go with the new mindset:
–I’m an active person. I’m a healthy person. I have energy. I make the time to be physically active, as this is something wonderful for me. This is “me” time. I deserve healthy.
And new behaviors emerge:
I go to the gym. I go for walks. I find the time. I look for opportunities for movement, taking the stairs rather than the elevator, parking a little further from the store front, and so on.
Hypnosis (and in that word I include NLP) is a way to change your thinking and feeling and behaviors and beliefs to become who you want to be. It really is endlessly fascinating work as every person is different and their desires , beliefs and motivations are different. The game and the fun is finding what will work with each individual and installing those changes. This is why I often say hypnosis is an art form as much as it is a science.
Everyone on the planet knows how to lose weight. It’s a very simple and well-documented formula. Eat less, make healthy choices, and be more active. What stops you? We find out and we address those things and create new habits. The power of hypnosis and NLP is that they are tools that encourage new healthy behaviors, and help people automate those choices.
Motivation to be active physically is just one piece of this puzzle, within a larger framework of healthy changes. Whatever needs tweaking, we go for it! For more insight into the power of Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy for weight loss, here are two previous essays I’ve written for this series, one on food choice, and one on portion control.
You can also find out more general information of the successes to be had with these mind technologies of hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming here:
When I meet new people they often ask the following question about hypnosis and NLP: “Sounds cool! But, does it really work?” I answer with a resounding: “YES!” Here’s more proof of the pudding.
A recent client came in to my Bellevue hypnosis office to end her fear and anxiety around speaking, in public and also in smaller groups, primarily in a business context. She did that! She ended her debilitating fear, successfully. Replaced it with calm, and even a sense of fun. Here is her report after 3 sessions of Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy.
C.O. of Woodinville, WA. writes:
“I’m doing great! I can’t believe how relaxed I am when I speak, I’m having a lot more fun. You really changed my life. It seems like it’s getting better all the time. I’ve told a few people to go to you for their weight problems. Happy 2014! Thanks!”
Yay! “You really changed my life.” To be more accurate, we did it together. This work is collaborative. HER brain made the positive changes, and my tools and ingenuity to be creative with those tools sparked that change. And yes, we put in suggestions to continue the flow of success, like a snowball rolling down the side of a snow-covered hill. She noticed that as well: “It’s getting better all the time.”
If you have positive changes in mind for yourself, and your life, we can do that! Anytime. Now is good. Hypnosis works. You can make 2014 your happiest and healthiest year ever. Wouldn’t you also like to be able to say this about your life? “It’s getting better all the time.”

Greetings from Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP for a Happy New Year! Here’s wishing you all a healthy and happy 2014. Yay! And remember, if you’ve got some New Years Resolutions, hypnotherapy will turbo charge their success and accomplishment.
It’s a good time for change. Now. 2014–the year of your fabulous success!
This is a very busy time of year for hypnotherapists. New Year’s Resolutions spur visits for weight loss, quitting smoking, and other positive changes. I know that any time you’re motivated for change is a good time to get started, whether that’s January 1st or any other date. Hypnosis “turbo-charges” the actualization of your goals.
I love helping people with weight loss. People come into my office and itemize their issues: what they eat, when they eat, why they eat (when they’re not hungry), how fast they eat, and all the accompanying aspects of self image and internal dialog, limiting beliefs, and so on. Many things need tweaking for success.
The topic of the moment is: Portion Control. When to say when. How to become attuned to the right amount of food for your body and energy needs. How to eat less and enjoy it more. Here is part two of my continuing essays on the various aspects of the “Weighty Issue” of weight loss and weight management, and the successes to be had through Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy.
Our mind has unconscious strategies for everything we do. How we act, how we think, what we choose, what we perceive as real. We acquire these strategies through learning. They become embedded in us like programs running on a computer, which we then call “habits.” Habits are learned, and they can be unlearned.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP–a conversational hypnosis) studies successful unconscious strategies, and we can grab, install, and live those strategies in ourselves. In studies of naturally slender people, we have successfully gathered naturally slender food strategies. Via NLP and hypnosis, we can install these into people who would benefit from them. This is a necessary piece of the work I do with clients! A client can adopt an unconscious new strategy and find themselves engaging in new behaviors without any mental effort.
We get clients in tune with physical hunger vs. emotional hunger. The mind can notice the difference. Emotional hunger is “fed” in new non-caloric ways. Physical hunger leads to a healthy choice strategy in the mind, meaning you’re more likely to reach for an apple rather than a cookie, a salad rather than a cheeseburger and fries. We implant a speed strategy, how fast to eat. Slowing it down is usually helpful. We implant a beverage of choice strategy: water! And then most importantly, we implant an exit strategy. When to STOP EATING. This is set at the point of satisfaction, when the body’s nutritional and energy needs are met in accordance with achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
There are, sadly, desperate people out in the world who don’t realize the control they have over their own minds and bodies, and they go to bizarre extremes like surgeries that attempt to PHYSICALLY limit food intake. That’s not necessary! Installing new unconscious strategies with hypnosis creates better success, without the expense or health risks.
When it’s all said and done, the weight loss client finds themselves engaging in:
–Less emotional eating
–Healthier choices
–Smaller portions
–More satisfaction.
It’s all good.
If your unconscious strategies (habits around food) need adjustment, it’s so much easier than you think to make healthy changes. You can discover it for yourself any time. After January 1st or before.
Here is another success testimonial. Seeing a hypnotherapist is a personal matter. Not all of my successful clients want to share their names publicly. Mr. D. R. of Sammamish, Washington, has opted to share his happy results, with initials only.
D. R. says: “Hi Connie, Just thought I would give you an update one month later. At 202, almost at my target weight! I am much more comfortable. I use my self hypnosis nearly every day. Thanks soooo much, you have really helped me.”
Yay, D.R. Good job!
If weight loss and healthy eating are on your New Year’s Resolutions list, why wait? Give me a call at (425) 564-8608 and let’s get started now. Today is a good day to get serious about healthy.
What if your life were like a hunk of modeling clay and you had the power to grab it and form it and shape it to match your desires? Wouldn’t that be cool?
Well…It is cool, and it is also truth! The power of your mind is what hypnosis is all about. With hypnosis, you tap into your subconscious mind, your creative mind, the part of you that turns ideas into reality.
Let’s do it!
Imagination is key. A sculptor looks at a block of stone and sees something alive within it. And he releases that vision. The unimaginative might look at that same block of stone, and say: “There’s nothing there. It’s just a block of stone.” No potential to be anything else. And they (the unimaginative) would be wrong. Hypnosis unlocks the sculptor in you.
If you’re ready to understand the control and choices you have in your life, call us! (425) 564-8608. Hypnosis is empowerment to stop smoking, lose weight, end fear, and more. Create the shape of success for yourself.
I woke up this morning thinking about motivation. Have you ever said to yourself: “I WANT to do this!”? Did that alone move you to do it? For the people that come into my Bellevue hypnotherapy office for help in such things as losing weight or quitting smoking, the answer is typically “no.” They want to. They haven’t. (Yet.)
Have you ever said to yourself: “I NEED to do this!”? Did that move you more or less to actually accomplish it?
Want vs. need. Those two words create different feelings inside us, that are often in conflict. Here is a classic example I hear from my weight loss clients: I want to sit on the couch, watch TV and eat donuts, however I need to go to the gym and get on the elliptical machine.
Want is desire, an attraction, a pull. I want that new car. Need is necessity, and can be a push away from something we don’t want. I need to do the dishes, or I won’t have any clean ones to eat off of. Either one alone, want or need, might move us to action. Or not.
Here’s my insight! What if we combine these motivations?
How much more likely are you to DO the thing you both want to do and need to do? What if you wanted to go to the gym as well as needed to? Would you be sitting on the couch with donuts? No way, Jose!
A combo of want and need generates massive power for forward action! You’re moving away from what you don’t want and don’t need and towards what you do want and do need at the same time. This is something I help people create in themselves through hypnosis and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming. I have found it to be very, very useful for helping clients achieve their goals.
The meaning and utility of words is my business. And because one of my personal goals (NEED and WANT) is to become the best at what I do, I spend every waking minute, including this Sunday morning, musing on the power of words. If you need or want some changes in your life and they aren’t happening, give us a call. We’ll get you moving in the right direction.
Goodbye, Willpower. And that's a good thing for weight loss.
Hi, Hypno-Friends!
The holidays are looming, and all those over-indulgence opportunities: holiday sweets and treats in the office, family parties, Turkey Day where the turkey isn’t the only thing getting “stuffed,” and so on are looming as well.
During the months of November and December, it’s easy to get wild and shelve healthy eating. It doesn’t have to be that way. At this very appropriate time, I’m offering a series of essays on weight management. Here’s number one!
It’s a Weighty Issue – Part I: Food Choice
It seems that a large percentage of the population is thinking about their weight at any given moment, reading about this new diet, that new food plan, purchasing diet products, and/or in the midst of dieting. Our weight truly is a national obsession.
So, why do diets and food plans fail so miserably to help people achieve a healthy weight and stay there? A “diet” is a conscious (thinking) endeavor. It involves analysis, logic, and willpower. That can’t cut it long term.
There’s more power in the mind beyond thinking.
Unconscious Drivers
We THINK we know why we do what we do. And we’d be wrong. Weight management and issues therein are a complex web beyond conscious choices. They involve unconscious patterns of behaviors, and embedded beliefs about ourselves and the world that can limit us. These unconscious drivers are just that, unconscious, beyond our awareness. They get embedded in us and like a program installed on a computer they run and run and run.
What is the benefit of hypnotherapy for weight loss? We can actually get in there and address and change these patterns of unconscious behaviors and limiting beliefs. Update the programs running in us. Change how we feel and what we do. These changes lead to long-term sustained weight loss success and weight management.
Weight loss is a weighty issue. Yes, it is. There’s a lot involved. In my office working with clients we address a variety of changes that may be useful. I’m planning a series of essays which I intend to share here on my blog, dealing with the issues hypnosis helps with, such as food choice, portion control, emotional eating, motivation to exercise, self image, negative self talk, limiting beliefs, time management and priorities, and more aspects of the weight management puzzle.
The number one change needed on everybody’s list is food choice — is there a predilection toward sugars and sweets? And/or too many carbs such as pasta, pizza, and potatoes? Not enough vegies? Drinking enough water? I’ve heard it all, uncontrollable attraction to unhealthy choices, such as cookies, chocolate, candy, cake, donuts, sugary sodas, French fries, chips, etc. And the gamut of ho-hum all the way to aversion responses to healthy choices.
Why Willpower Sucks
What is willpower? It activates during the “I want it” vs. “No, I’m not going to have it.” struggle. We’re torn between two competing desires. Willpower is the conscious mind taking control and activating a conscious decision. Usually, it’s the “no.” Willpower is weak. Willpower is difficult to maintain long term (yo-yo dieting proves this).
With skilled hypnosis, we erase the need for willpower altogether. Let me say that again. We get rid of any need for willpower. Willpower is forced to the surface when there’s a struggle. What if there were no struggle? What if your brain just said “no” automatically? There’d be no use for willpower and it wouldn’t even come into play. You’d just be doing something different because it feels right.
For example: I have no interest or desire to jump out of an airplane for sport. NONE. In fact, it’s not going to happen. It’s on my “no way” list. Do I obsess about jumping out of an airplane? Of course not. It never enters my mind. Do I struggle to force myself not to jump? Of course not. Do I jump? No. It’s not what I do. What if eating unhealthy became a “no” rather than a struggle? That’s what skilled hypnotherapy achieves. Will power goes back on the shelf. Don’t need it!
Beyond the Willpower Struggle
Here are some of my client results/comments regarding activation of this change:
“Hi Connie, Just had to send along this spread of the party I was at last night. All of the things I find the hardest to resist! Meats, cheeses, bread, crackers, nuts. It was so nothing to me! I didn’t have ONE THING! And the best part was I didn’t WANT one thing!
It’s just so amazing to me. I am sure it’s “another day at the office” for you but, for me…oh my goodness it was so awesome to not obsess over having it or not…wow. Thank you!!!” – Lori H., Mercer Island, WA
Is her willpower in play? No. The craving for these particular food choices is gone.
“I’ve lost 40# in 4 months… My sweet tooth and chip obsession disappeared overnight. My self esteem skyrocketed. It’s been months since I’ve seen you and yet I’m still right on track with my goals.” E. – Seattle. Is her willpower in play? No.
“I don’t crave ice cream at all now! Or chocolate. I am in shock!!!” — Saliha B., Issaquah, WA. Is her willpower in play? No.
I hope you get the picture here. These people are not “dieting” to avoid sweets and “temptations” and they’re not struggling, they’re just automatically choosing different in ways that serve their weight management success. That’s what skilled hypnosis can do. Hypnosis creates the positive changes that move people by addressing and changing the unconscious patterns. No diet can do that.
Keep reading here for continuing essays on the various aspects of the Weighty Issue of weight loss and weight management, and the successes to be had through Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy.
There’s an expression: the camera doesn’t lie. I maintain that, yes, it does! I found this video being shared on the internet the other day. It shows a model’s before and after pic. Before, how she really looks in her photo shoot, and after photoshop digital manipulation of the image.
This video from 2012 has recently gone “viral” as they say, with millions of new views. A mom showed it to her daughter to make her aware that the glamour and fashion industry’s images we are bombarded with daily are not REAL bodies. And she shared it on the internet.
Wow. Longer hair, mouth enlarged, eyes enlarged, legs, arms, neck lengthened, sizes removed, butt contoured, skin color changed…I guess the photo-shopper found NOTHING attractive about this woman to begin with?
This is part of the battle we face in weight management hypnotherapy work as well. So many women come in my door toting a sense of “not good enough” and a very negative self image and inner barrage of negative self talk. This originates from a skewed view of what is “beautiful” and “normal” based on, well… lies. Images such as this create an impossible unattainable “perfection” that no human body can meet.
Part of the client weight loss work I do deals with the nitty gritty of portions, food choice, emotional eating, motivation to exercise and so on. An equally important item that needs addressing is self image, and the release of crazy unrealistic inadequacies that may have been implanted by the fashion industry.
I invite you to take a look at this video and ask yourself a question. Which woman do you find more appealing? More normal? The real woman, or the digital creation? I opt for the real woman.
Best Halloween wishes for a safe and fun holiday from Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. And Moms, if you find yourself dipping a little too much into the kids’ Halloween candy this week, remember, hypnosis can help turn off sugar.

When
THURSDAY
NOV. 21, 2013
From 7pm to 9pm
Where
BELLEVUE, WA
Near the interchange of I405 & I90.
Did you know that hypnosis is described by a prominent scientific journal as: “The most effective way of giving up smoking” (New Scientist, issue #1845, October 31, 1992, p 6). This was the conclusion reached after reviewing some 600 studies totaling nearly 72,000 people.
To find the most effective way to give up smoking, researchers carried out a meta-analysis, statistically combining the results of more than 600 smoking cessation studies covering almost 72,000 people from across the globe. By combining the results from so many separate studies, the meta-analysis enables the real effectiveness of each technique to be seen. The results are clear: the use of clinical hypnosis for smoking cessation is the most effective approach to becoming smoke-free in existence! And, one of the least expensive!
The results are in. According to the extensive research, here are the relative
effectiveness of various therapies:
Nicotine Replacement Therapy/Patches and gum, 7%
Will power alone (“cold turkey”), 6 – 11%
Herbal remedies, Lozenges, Nasal sprays, 2 – 5%
Herbal cigarettes, Inhalers, 2 – 5%
Prescription drugs, 20%
Acupuncture, 24%
HYPNOSIS!, 60%
We’re Connie and Michael Brannan, owners and operators of Mindworks Hypnosis, and we’ve been helping people end the smoking habit for over 7 years. We use a unique and powerful blend of hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to stop smoking dead in it’s tracks.
You may not have heard of NLP, but it is the most advanced and powerful form of hypnosis there is. It has been called “hypnosis on steroids.” Knowing that hypnosis is already the most effective way to stop smoking, just imagine your results when you put it on steroids! Cool, huh?
You can quit, and we can help using this powerful, proven and safe method. And, unlike drugs, hypnosis has no negative side effects. It does, of course, have positive side effects–you’ll start feeling happy, energized, joyous, much better than you have in a long, long time. Call us and get on the path to healthy now: 425-564-8608.
Warm Regards,
Michael
The Great American Smokeout 2013 (On November 21st) is looming. We’re planning a special event at a special price to help more smokers become non-smokers. Keep your eyes here for more details.
I love results! Another happy client reports on her success. Susan Wiseman used to have a fear of flying. She doesn’t anymore. After hypnosis and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming, that fear flew the coop. Adios!!
““Hi Connie! You asked about positive changes. I did fine with no pre-flying anticipation or fear…I was calm and looking forward to the trip. The only time I felt an iota of nerves was finding out one of our connections was on a small commuter plane but once I found out there was a bathroom on the plane I was fine. I was much more concerned about my bladder than flying in a 24 seat plane!!! Thanks again for your help!” –Susan Wiseman, Seattle Metro area
That’s right! When we decide that we’re done being limited in our choices, and that fear does not serve us, we can give it the old heave ho! Susan did. You can, too. The power of your mind is greater than you think. Call me and find out more: (425) 564-8608.
This beautiful lady, Stephanie Meade, of Renton, WA is noticing some positive changes after beginning Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy with Mindworks Hypnosis. The changes are in her eating habits, her activity level, and her positive self image and sense of her own choices.
She’s losing desire for foods that are unhealthy, and finding a new focus. Healthy! Good job, Stephanie! And, best of all, she knows she deserves success and can achieve success.
In her own words:
“Hi, my name is Stephanie. I have been seeing Connie for a couple weeks now and I’m already noticing some really fabulous changes.
Ice cream has always been a big issue for me. The other night my brother wanted to go to Dairy Queen, and I could not even go through the drive-thru because I just couldn’t even stand the thought of touching the ice cream. So, I made him go in to get it and hide it from me.
And, pizza has always been my very favorite thing to eat. I’ve never gone, I think, longer than a week without pizza. I haven’t had any for, I think, three weeks now, maybe four. I also don’t have any desire for the pizza, which is a crazy thing.
And, I’m starting to feel better about myself. I’ve always struggled with feelings of not feeling good enough. I’m starting to feel like I AM good enough, like I’m a good person, and I deserve to succeed. And so, I can’t wait to see what other wonderful changes happen as I progress with Connie.” — Stephanie Meade, Renton, WA
That’s right. Stephanie is making changes. Changes in eating habits, changes in motivation to exercise, changes in self image. She’s moving towards her goal, step by step. Hypnosis is the tool to activate this journey successfully. Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. Find what works!
I like this picture! It’s the current view out my office window. Green life! The trees are changing. Look how easily they make radical changes. Those old leaves used to be attached. Now the trees have said: “I’m done with that!” And whooooosh, they’re gone.
That’s how hypnosis works, too. A decision is made. Change happens. And life gets better. And when it’s time to do it, you know. What you might not know is that change is as easy as what you see in this picture.
Trees are my metaphor for life. I love trees. It helps that I was born and raised in the Seattle area. We got trees!! I lived in Arizona for about a decade, and let me tell you, those cactus and palms were pretty, but can’t compete with our Pacific Northwest TREES. I’m loving the green. And the ideas they spark about how change can be fast, easy, and natural.
When you open your mind to new resourcefulness and new choices (that’s what hypnosis does), you’ll see that for yourself. Call me if you’d like to set up a free in-person consult to learn more about what your life can be, successful, happy, and powerful. (425) 564-8608.
Here is another of my fun “anthropomorphism” videos. 🙂
What if your elliptical machine could talk? What would it say to you? Would it feel fulfilled in it’s purpose in life? Or would it feel unused and unnecessary? Here is the tale of a lonely elliptical machine.
When it’s time to get moving, you know what to do. Call Mindworks Hypnosis and NLP. (425) 564-8608. We’ll get your blood flowing and your motivation flying and your body moving. If you want activity and energy on the menu, we can help put it there. And as everyone on the planet knows, this is key to weight loss and weight management.
“I was at a proverbial crossroads in my life and knew it was time to make some changes, examine my ambitions & goals and move bravely forward into my future – perhaps an entirely new future. However, before I could do that, I needed to release some patterns & beliefs that had been holding me back.
When I discovered Mindworks, I suspected it could be ideal for my needs. One consultation with Connie and I knew I had found the perfect place and the perfect person to help me. I was immediately at ease with Connie. Her ability to compassionately and skillfully blend techniques of NLP and hypnosis allow the client to discover solutions to their own issues and problems. I trust her. I believe in her and the tools that she passionately & masterfully uses to guide you to your own truth.” Kerry D., Kent, WA.
I’m happy when my clients “get it.” It being an understanding of their own power and what this process called hypnosis really is. Hypnosis is not my power over a client, it’s a client becoming empowered in his/her own life and choices. And that is absolutely under their control.
People aren’t really stuck. They just think they are. Until they realize otherwise. Hypnosis helps in that realization. I love this work, and I love how powerful people are, when they decide to tap into the riches inside their own minds.
On the school side of what we do, Michael and I are offering another special event: NLP for Personal Change & Life Success Seminar. It’s one of our Power of Mind workshops, a full day event, happening Saturday, 9/28/13.
Right now we are offering an “early bird” special price, just $67. The special ends this Sunday, then our seminar reverts to its regular price of $97 This amazing seminar is only offered once or twice a year, so the time to enroll is now. Our NLP for Sales Seminar for this coming weekend filled right up, and we had to end enrollment early. So, as I like to say: get while the gettin’s good!
What is NLP? NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) can be defined as: the study of successful thinking. If it weren’t already taken, the slogan for NLP could be: “Be all that you can be.” Yes, you can. We’ll help you get there, with the transformational secrets you’ll learn in this amazing 1-day event.
If you could feel however you wanted to feel (such as calm, motivated, creative, happy, etc.) whenever it was useful to feel that way, would that be of interest to you? If you could connect with people on a deeper level and develop instant rapport, would that be of interest to you? Sounds good to me!! In this seminar, we teach simple techniques you can use immediately to increase personal satisfaction, self confidence, influence and power. Eliminate undesirable habits! Program in more useful ones. Control your emotional states and more!
This seminar/workshop is hands on, with class demonstrations and exercises as well as lecture. So you can expect a very interactive and experiential training event. You will learn with not one, but TWO Licensed Trainers of Neuro-Linguistic Programming ™, Connie & Michael Brannan.
Quit Smoking Hypnosis - Your lungs will thank you!
I helped a nice young man to quit smoking yesterday. He’d been at it for 15 years, since the ripe old age of 13 when he picked up his first cigarette. After our 2-hour session, he said cigarettes were “nothing” to him. He couldn’t dredge up any interest or desire to smoke, whatsoever. None.
Yes, it can be that easy. When you’re ready to quit, focusing your mind with hypnosis and skilled Neuro Linguistic Programming helps make it happen.
Michael and I are always taking a variety of trainings to keep our skills sharp and our creativity flowing. Right now, we’re taking an improvisational acting course. One of the games we learned there is called “narrative collage.” We see a story from a variety of different vantage points, including ones you don’t normally think about. I’ve created this 3-perspective story here about smoking cessation. From the viewpoint of an ashtray, your lungs, and your wallet. Enjoy their story:
We do offer a free in office personal consultation if you’d like to hear more about what we do and how we can help. Call us at (425) 564-8608 and we’ll be happy to set that meeting up for you.
You CAN be smokefree. Quicker and easier than you imagine.
NLP is a conversational hypnosis. It’s super powerful. It’s been called “hypnosis on steroids.” Yes, it is! 🙂 It’s the prime tool I use in my clinical work — and one of the main reasons I have over 140 testimonials of success on my website.
NLP is magic in action and Michael and I LOVE it. We are both Licensed Trainers of NLP ™ through the co-creator of NLP, Dr. Richard Bandler.
In addition to the clinical work we do using NLP, Michael and I own and operate a Washington-State licensed private vocational school: Mindworks NLP. We TEACH hypnosis and NLP, to empower others to create their own success.
Through our school, we are offering two “taster” NLP one-day seminars this month. On Sept 21 (Saturday) we offer “NLP for Sales and Business Success.” On Sept 28 (Saturday) we offer “NLP for Personal Development and Life Success.” More info is here, NLP One Day Seminars! We sell these hands-on, live, experiential courses for $97. However, right now, we are offering an “Early Bird” special of just $67.
NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming is an amazing methodology to control your emotional states, create motivation, calm, happy, persuasion, anything else you like where it’s useful to be that. It’s about communication, and reading and understanding people through language and body. It’s about influence, and effective communications. We play with these tools. Live and in person. We show you, we guide you, we critique you to make sure you “get it.” This isn’t some impersonal online nonsense or literature. This is the real deal. Live NLP demonstrations and exercises from two Licensed Trainers.
If you’d like to learn these tools, the opportunity is NOW. This month. We have sign up buttons on our webpage: http://www.seattlenlptraining.com/. If you’d like to join us and partake of more success in life, we’re happy to have you. We only offer this a couple times a year, so now is a good time to improve business communications and sales techniques and enrich your life with our personal development NLP as well.
Are you a couch potato? If so, you can choose something different for yourself anytime you want to. Try on some motivation to exercise! Try on some healthy changes in your eating habits. Try on getting fit!! What would it be like if you felt a joy AND a motivation to exercise?
It’s doable. Michael and I can help! We’ve been awarded “Best of Bellevue 2013” (following similar awards for 2011 and 2012) for Weight Loss and Control Program. There’s a reason for this. Scores of reasons, and you can see them here— Seattle area people who have used our services and been successful with weight loss.
Here’s our fun couch potato video. Check it out! 🙂
When you’re ready to discover a new level of fitness and health for yourself, call us. We’re happy to offer you a free in office meeting to explain what hypnosis really is, and what NLP is and how well they work.
I’m having fun with my “narrative collage” videos. Here’s another. This is how I imagine a box of chocolates would feel after discovering that her people have a new and powerful focus on healthy eating.
Truth be told, hypnosis is a fantastic methodology to end the sugar cravings, the sugar urges, the sugar “addiction.” How would you rather feel about sweets? We can enact those changes. That’s where NLP shines!
I offer free consults to those that are serious and interested. If sugar has you by the throat, we can loosen it’s hold. Find out more: http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net
Here is another fun video from the mind of Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. Michael and I have had numerous trainings, including a current go-round of improvisational comedy/acting classes. We’re stretching our quick-mindedness and creativity, useful tools for a hypnotist (and anyone). One exercise in improv class is called “narrative collage.” You take on various viewpoints of different players in a scene to tell a story.
Here is the story of healthy eating, as seen by Ms. Donut.
Anyone who knows me or has visited my clinical office, knows I have an affinity with owls. Live owls like to show up outside my office window. Now, I collect owls. Art and objects. And toys. These two cuties joined my owl collection today.
Hypnosis - the wise choice!
I decided to feature them in a new promotional video.
Kerry D. of the Greater Seattle area came into Mindworks Hypnosis for some personal development, and life changes. She found them. Here’s her comments after two sessions with me.
“I was very hesitant to seek help or counseling, for all of my life, because I didn’t want to talk about my problems. I know what my problems are. I just wanted to fix them.
And then I found Connie. And after one session I felt remarkably better. Like a completely different person. Connie is amazing! I trust her and I feel like she is somewhat of a kindred spirit.
Don’t think twice. Trust your instincts. Come and see Connie. She’s amazing. Truly, truly amazing.” — Kerry D., Seattle, WA.
Kerry D. - the Face of Happy
Skilled, and creative hypnosis (which is actually a rare commodity in the Pacific Northwest) is amazingly successful for positive changes in outlook and behaviors. Call us for a free in-office consult. (425) 564-8608. Also, more info on our protocol and credentialing is on our website: http://www.seattlehypnotherapy.net/ and http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net
I received another nice testimonial this week. I taught a lady with insomnia issues how to work with self hypnosis. She wrote:
“Connie, I’ve noticed some significant changes. I frequently use the self-hypnosis techniques to fall asleep, and I have been having very restful sleep. I’ve recommended you to my friend. Best, Deborah C.” — Greater Seattle area.
That’s right. Hypnosis works for sleep improvement. And more!
Have you ever heard this expression: “Give a man a fish, he has dinner for one night. Teach a man to fish, and he has the ability to feed himself forever.” The idea here is the same. I do lead people through guided hypnotherapy to positive changes one on one in my office in Bellevue. I ALSO frequently teach clients self hypnosis as a tool for ongoing success and goal achievement. I love to do this!
Self hypnosis is an amazing tool. I also teach this methodology at Bellevue College Continuing Education. We set an instant trigger for trance states and include lessons in goal setting and mind-focusing language. Next self hypnosis course offering in Bellevue is Fall Quarter, on November 13 & 20. Bellevue College is updating their website, however the enrollment link for my course should be up soon at:
If you don’t find the details of this online, please give Bellevue College a call directly and they will help get you enrolled. I do hope you’ll join me.
I often get asked about hypnosis. Is it real? Does it generate change? Do the changes last? Yes, yes, and yes. 🙂 When a client successfully updates a program in their mind, it stays updated. I got a wonderful testimonial of ongoing success from Karel Creason, of Bellevue, WA, about a year after our work.
“Connie Brannan has helped me change the way I think about myself and my life. I saw her primarily for help with weight loss, but I ended up realizing many other positive changes at the same time. I was surprised and so pleased with the lasting results of my sessions: ability to concentrate on the way I wanted to eat, improvement in my personal relationships, and a completely rejuvenated interest in life.
After 20+ years of severe depression, I was amazed to find that I was free of it after just a single session. I am so grateful that I had the good sense to see Connie, and I recommend her services to anyone who wants similar improvements in their life.” — Karel Creason, Bellevue, WA.
In general, people have no clue about the power of their own minds to effect positive changes. Hypnosis is a tool to unlock that power. It’s not mind control, (as some erroneously believe) it’s empowerment. Karel created these changes in herself. Good job!
When you focus your mind on a goal or goals using the tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnotherapy, your mind creates the pathway to those goals, the strategies, new thinking, new behaviors, and forward movement required. Massive success and change is possible, as this client success story attests.
I think I’m in love with hypnosis. And when the uninformed dismiss it, it’s very, very, very sad.
Hypnosis helps with quitting smoking. Discover it!
When you NEED to do something, and yet you aren’t, there’s help. It’s hypnosis. We can help you change how you’re thinking, and quitting smoking can be something streamlined and natural. We fill in the blanks with new healthy behaviors so nothing is lost and nothing is missing. You feel whole.
Remember that old song: “Oz never did bring nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn’t, didn’t already have.” You’ve got what smoking brings you, already. We can update the mind’s programming to know this and use this.
Hypnosis is very effective help for stopping smoking. Discover this for yourself.
Warm Regards,
Connie

Seattle's Mindworks Hypnosis - You'll Dance for Joy
Love my videos. This one is super cool. Something I had not heard of, “tutting.” Sort of a conglomerate of “Walk like an Egyptian” and a geometry lecture. Mindworks Hypnosis is the “King” Tut of Seattle area hypnosis. (Michael made that up.)
“Greater Seattle Hypnotherapy: Mindworks Hypnosis.” http://www.seattlehypnotherapy.net/http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net/ I edit these videos to advertise my business myself, and I really love the soundtrack I picked for this one. Here’s an old-fashioned phrase. Dig it! I really dig the clapping music. 🙂
www.seattlehypnotherapy.net Seattle hypnotherapy dot net, check it out! It’s one of our new web presences. 🙂
The positive and dramatic changes you get with hypnotherapy may seem like magic, however, it’s au naturel, it’s the power of the mind that we all have. Hypnosis is an empowerment process that connects us to our ability to choose. New behaviors, new feelings, new thoughts, new life. Discover it, Seattle!
“Start with Trust.” That’s the slogan of the Western Washington Better Business Bureau. And it’s also an essential beginning of any hypnosis work.
We are an Accredited Business with the Seattle area Better Business Bureau.
Our status as an Accredited Business is your guarantee of ethical business practices. We have achieved an “A” Rating, which is the highest available for our business. After we’ve been in business for seven years (which happens in a few months), we will be awarded the “A+” rating, I’m sure. That’s as high as it goes. 🙂
“Start with Trust.” Why is this accredited status and “A” ranking good news for you? Unfortunately, the “hypnosis industry” does attract some questionable people, un-trust-worthy people. Many lack skill. Some lack ethics. Accreditation by the BBB is your guarantee of professionalism and ethics. Match that with true, solid, bona fide credentialing in the arts of hypnotism and NLP, and now you’ve got a business to do business with!
Who wants a horrible story?!! Here is the other side of the coin, wayyyyy other side, on the topic of hypnosis and professionalism. I went to a hypnosis demonstration once upon a time and the (evil) hypnotist said to someone who wasn’t cooperating: “Do what I say or your head will explode.” Yikes!! This is utterly appalling to me.
I know for a fact that some people practicing hypnotism in the Seattle area have a similar mindset. They don’t care about people, and they want shortcuts rather than learning, and they don’t care about anything other than money!
There are also people in the world who approach the practice of hypnosis as a serious profession and as a passionate joy! Me! And my Michael! We are doing our utmost to be good at it, so our clients get what they came for. That’s success, and that’s what I strive for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Success for my clients! And my students. To improve the quality of hypnosis skill in the Greater Seattle area, Michael and I teach as well.
When you’re looking for hypnosis services, there are telltale signs of who’s bogus and who’s the real deal. Accreditation with the Better Business Bureau and an “A” Rating indicate the real deal. That logo, the BBB and flame SHOULD inspire trust.
I hope when you’re looking for hypnosis services, you find someone trust-worthy!
Mindworks Hypnosis Receives 2013 Best of Bellevue Award
BELLEVUE, WA, July 15, 2013 — For the third consecutive year, Mindworks Hypnosis of Bellevue, WA, has been selected for the 2013 Best of Bellevue Award in the Weight Loss & Control Programs category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).
The USCA “Best of Local Business” Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USCA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional success in their local community and business category. These are local companies which enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.
Co-owner of Mindworks Hypnosis, Connie Brannan, CHt, & Licensed Trainer of NLP says: “We love what we do! Michael and I have been entrancing and enhancing lives for 7 years now with a unique blend of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and formal clinical hypnosis. We help in the realm of weight loss and beyond, with all manner of
positive changes from smoking cessation to stress release to sports enhancement.”
Nationwide, only 1 in 120 (less than 1%) of 2013 Award recipients qualified as Three-Time Award Winners. Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2013 USCA Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USCA and data provided by third parties.
The USCA was established to recognize the best of local businesses in their community. Their organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade groups, professional associations, chambers of commerce and other business advertising and marketing groups. Their mission is to be an advocate for small and medium size businesses and business entrepreneurs across America.
Here is another slam-dunk learning opportunity at Bellevue College. Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation. I teach you a tool called self hypnosis, and we do some work in class on helping you quit smoking as well.
This event is hypnosis hands on. Experiential. You get hypnotized, for your healthy changes. Not only do you learn ABOUT hypnosis, you DO hypnosis. I guide you, and then you play with hypnosis yourself, on an ongoing basis. It’s like the old saying: give a man a fish and he has dinner, teach him how to fish, and he can feed himself for a lifetime. Hypnosis will feed your well-being for a lifetime.
The school location is Bellevue, through Bellevue College’s continuing education department, however, I’m hoping we attract learners from every corner of Seattle and beyond. Hypnosis is too big and wonderful to be contained geographically.
These courses are a lot of fun. I do hope you’ll join me. Learn self hypnosis to quit smoking for the low low price of $89. When you think about the costs of smoking to your pocketbook and your health, this is an amazing opportunity.
For those of you curious about hypnosis and the power of your own mind to create success, here’s something exciting and easy to do. Attend my one evening course on goal setting and hypnosis.
It’s July 23rd for two hours, at Bellevue College’s North Campus in Bellevue. It’s an experiential evening. By that I mean: you get hypnotized. And you get to participate in one of my “hypnotic interventions” that I use in my office work, to set a goal into your life such that your mind works overtime to make it happen. All this fun and learning for $39. Wow, as they say!
A Chance to Trance: Discover Hypnosis for Goal Achievement
Everyone can be hypnotized and learn to focus their own unconscious minds in powerful ways to achieve their goals. If you’ve ever wondered what trance is like, here’s your chance to experience hypnosis first hand and be guided through an ingenious process of goal manifestation by Master Hypnotist & Licensed Trainer of NLP®, Connie Brannan. Bring a pillow, if you like, and bring a goal for your life success!
I received another happy success email from one of my Seattle area Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy clients this week. We had worked on his fear of flying, using hypnosis and NLP. Chris Gibson, of Seattle, reports:
“I really enjoy flying now and the freedom that is bringing me.
I have been very successful since having hypnosis/NLP sessions with you. In fact, in the past year, I have flown 7 times and am about to take my 8th flight! I even took a trip to Atlanta and back by myself. The work I did with you helped tremendously.
Prior to working with you, I had tried several different methods for controlling my fear of flying but none of them seemed to work. They all seemed like “tricks” or “Band-Aids” and didn’t truly help me to think differently about flying.
During my sessions with you, we went through all of the feelings I wanted to feel on a plane, such as happiness, calm, safety, etc. Through our sessions you helped to plant those thoughts into my subconscious and, for the first time, it worked! On my first flight and each subsequent one those “good” feelings now fill my head and the negative ones have been pushed out. I really wanted to thank you for all of your help. I feel so much more free now! P.S. We are off to Vegas, my third time this year. 🙂 — Chris Gibson, Seattle.
Yay! Another success story. Goodbye, fear of flying. This is the best part of my work, hearing how the tools I use help to unlock power and change lives.
Fear is such a ridiculous waste of energy. When you’re ready to end that, give me and Michael a call. Our tools are stronger than fear.
I just came across a ridiculous news story on the internet. A woman with a history of eating disorders and lack of confidence and self esteem decided not to look at herself in the mirror for a year. As in, NEVER. Not to put on makeup, not to brush her teeth, not to adjust her skirt.
She avoided seeing her image in the rear view mirror while driving and looked away from plate glass windows and reflective surfaces.
She trusted others to give their opinions of how she looked rather than trust herself. “Do I have mascara on my nose?”
Her objective? To feel better about herself. I find this story extremely sad. Because there’s such easier and quicker ways to feel good about yourself. And stay feeling good. As in a few hours with a skilled and Licensed Neuro Linguistic Programmer. Rather than endure a year of peculiar-ness (I’ve made up a new word!). The extremes that people go to to try to feel different are crazy. If only they knew!
I help people achieve this every day of the week, feeling more confident and boosting self esteem. It’s so easy, with the right tools. That’s skilled NLP. And I help them access these new feelings frequently, when useful, and when they choose to.
One of the actual triggers I install in people is to feel good WHEN they look in the mirror. Positive self talk happens BECAUSE they are looking in a mirror. Energy and confidence happens. Happy happens. And this good feeling flies in spontaneously and automatically. I love to do this.
The lady in the mirror story is so extreme, and it’s such an unnecessary waste of time and energy. It’s like wanting to walk to your neighborhood grocer and hopping a plane to Alaska instead, and then walking back to the grocer from there.
The triggers in this woman for negative thinking are still there, avoidance behavior didn’t change HER or her unconscious patterns. You change unconscious patterns by getting in there and changing unconscious patterns. Skilled NLP works gangbusters for that.
One of these days people in general are going to discover the real power of their minds to change: hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming. Right now, I’m spreading the word on this success, one client at a time.
To all my Seattle area friends: Happy Hypnotic Fourth of July! I have this toy, it flashes red, white and blue. In honor of our National holiday, I made a video of this patriotic toy in action. I think it’s massively hypnotic. It’s also symbolic of a power within you, that can spark and come alive at any time.
http://www.seattlenlptraining.com. Mindworks NLP is the premiere Licensed Private Vocational School teaching NLP in the Pacific Northwest. NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming is the study of successful strategies and how talented people do what they do. Change your strategies, and change your success. Here we demonstrate a very successful 2-second shirt-folding strategy. Modeling excellence, that’s NLP in action. Learn from two Licensed Trainers of NLP ™, Connie & Michael Brannan.
It’s here! And that means diving into life. Experience it. Get your feet wet.
Remember being a kid? And the joy and excitement and endless pleasures of summertime? Fun. Freedom. Relaxation. All that positive feeling is still in you and can be extracted and utilized any day of the week and any season of the year. Even if you’re far from that kid you once were and life seems stressful and hectic, you can bring a lightness and warmth to your days.
Hypnosis and NLP work to bring you any good feeling any time it’s useful. Turn this into a summer of joy. I double dog dare you.
I got another fabulous, happy client email the other day. Lori H. of Mercer Island was reporting her progress after two hypnosis and NLP sessions with me. She sent me the accompanying photo and story.
“Hi Connie,
Just had to send along this spread of the party I was at last night. All of the things I find the hardest to resist! Meats, cheeses, bread, crackers, nuts. It was so nothing to me! I didn’t have ONE THING! And the best part was I didn’t WANT one thing!
It’s just so amazing to me. I am sure it’s “another day at the office” for you but, for me…oh my goodness it was so awesome to not obsess over having it or not…wow. Thank you!!!” — Lori H., Mercer Island, WA
That’s right. Positive changes afoot. Yay! After only one session Lori also commented that she was “shocked.” In a good way, the best way, with the easy-feeling behavioral changes she was seeing in herself. That’s the power of skilled hypnotherapy.
As always, the opportunity to discover this success for yourself exists. It’s a phone call away. Connie & Michael Brannan, Mindworks Hypnosis @ (425) 564-8608.
Here’s my morning musing. 🙂 My teacher, Dr. Richard Bandler, says this: “The truth is that reality is built out of consciousness not the inverse. Our imaginations determine what will be real next.”
Hi, Hypno-Friends!
I love results! Another happy client reports on her success. Susan Wiseman used to have a fear of flying. She doesn’t anymore. After hypnosis and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming, that fear flew the coop. Adios!!
Hello, Hypno-Friends!
I often get asked about hypnosis. Is it real? Does it generate change? Do the changes last? Yes, yes, and yes. 🙂 When a client successfully updates a program in their mind, it stays updated. I got a wonderful testimonial of ongoing success from Karel Creason, of Bellevue, WA, about a year after our work.
Hi, Hypno-Friends!
