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.
D. Butrick of Seattle, WA reports his quit smoking with hypnosis success with our Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy. He had smoked for 30 years, and had tried unsuccessfully to quit numerous times. Then he found what does work! Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP for effective smoking cessation.
One hypnosis session was all it took for D to achieve his goal. Yay, D!!! He gave us a report:
“Since I’ve seen you on April 5th, I have NOT smoked. Wow! What a difference! I’ve smoked for over 30 years…this is great not to be chained to that bad habit any more! Thank you, Connie!!”
When skilled hypnotists guide your mind and help you reach your power, well, you can achieve anything! D. found out. You can, too. We’re happy to help you anytime, whether it’s stopping smoking with hypnosis or any other positive changes. Again, we service all of the Seattle metropolitan area and beyond. Our office is conveniently located in Bellevue, WA in the beautiful Bellefield Office Park.
Accentuate the Positive, with Seattle’s Best Hypnotherapy — Mindworks Hypnosis.
Positive thoughts generate positive feelings and create positive life experiences. Hypnosis is a way to re-program your thinking to be more positive. Whenever there’s an unwanted thought, feeling, or response… we can change it. How would you rather feel, think, and what would you rather do?
Creating those positive changes: that’s NLP. Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a conversational hypnosis. Blended with traditional hypnotherapy, we at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP are certified in and utilize: “Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy” ™. Our helping skillset is higher, and in accordance with that, our clients’ succcess rates are higher as well as faster.
We can and do install positivity on demand. What would feeling good do for your life?
It’s February! Yay! And I’m of a musing mind. Here’s a story:
Another client reports to me that she has said “adios” to her years upon years long counselor after working with me a few sessions. Now, I’m not saying that talk therapist counselors are inept, wrong-minded and wrap people deeper and deeper into their problems, with an endless quest for “why,”…obviously my client is feeling so much more empowered and happy in her life that she simply doesn’t feel the need to go sit and whine about problems anymore. She agreed with my plan: get rid of them instead!
Everything about this girl has changed, and it’s so beautiful to see. She came in hiding under a hood, so filled with anxiety and fear and paranoia in her life, face twitching and chewing her lip, insomnia, jealousy … She looks different now, her hair, her makeup, her clothes, her posture, her tonality (confident!!), her face is smooth and beautiful, she smiles, she reports that she is sleeping “better than she ever has,” she’s glowing, says this has impacted her kids, they’re laughing and smiling and enjoying life more, too. That’s what a little creative NLP/hypnosis will do for you. It’s been less than a month since I began working with her.
I often notice that the people with the quote unquote “biggest problems” are the ones to have the easiest, most dramatic transformation. They’ve hypnotized themselves into having problems, and we re-direct all that creative power in a new direction, one that feels better and leads to achieving their goals instead. I love what I do!!!!!!!!!!!!
A new client was paying me yesterday and made a semi-snarky comment about how getting the money must be my favorite part. No way. You’re mistaking me for some other Seattle area hypnotist(s). The above description of a positive transformation is my favorite part. That’s why I do this.
Hypnosis is a larger field of study and practice than what is generally known. It’s being used all over the place, and not by “hypnotists.” There’s more to it, than the world commonly acknowledges. You know why that is? People hide the fact that what they’re teaching and doing IS hypnosis.
The word hypnosis has a negative, perjorative, fear-infused connotation in some people’s minds. Unfortunate, and absolutely ridiculous! And that generates fear, and hiding on the part of hypnosis sellers. There are teachers and change workers creating fancy new words and titles and acronyms for the work they are doing. Hey, buddy ….pssst. Some of us do know. It’s all hypnosis.
I attended a training last year on enhanced reading and rapid absorption of information that was absolutely, 100% hypnosis. They never used the word, in their literature, in their marketing, or in the course itself. They called it something else, which they had created to hide the fact that it is hypnosis. They even hawked self-hypnosis CDs which they also called something else. I asked the instructor: “Why don’t you call this what it really is?” He never responded.
I don’t hide my hypnosis. I am PROUD to be a hypnotist. I’d rather change the misconceptions in the world rather than try to camoflauge what I do.
What is hypnosis? It’s communication on deeper levels within our own brain, it’s a doorway to resourcefulness. To creativity. To power. It’s 100% organic and natural, it’s amazing, and lovely, and pure positive goodness.
I wish these practitioners of hypnosis who sell it as something else just in order to get more students and to make more money would stop that. You’re helping to keep the ridiculous myths alive. How will the understanding of hypnosis in the world change for the better if you continue to hide it’s power and success?
Stop hiding the hypnosis!
Warm Regards,
Connie (Hypnotist, and proud of that!)
Here is another story. 🙂 A client came in to enhance her business success. Her problem? A feeling of not being “good enough” or “smart enough” — in a nutshell, a lack of confidence. She found herself feeling anxious and unable to speak up during business meetings–even when she had valuable things to say.
I found out what she wanted instead. We began the work. Suddenly, she burst out angrily at me:
“Why are you laughing? You’re trivializing my problem.”
I answered her: “That’s right. I am. And so will you. It IS trivial. Ridiculous, in fact.”
That’s what we want to create! A “problem” so small and trivial that you can’t even see it or experience it. When she feels more confident and “good enough,” in fact, there is no problem. It dissolves.
What she didn’t yet realize is that the work was already unfolding and being successful…we were working on confidence building. The presenting problem: she was unable to speak her mind. Yet, suddenly, here she was speaking her mind, to me. Loud and clear. Yay!
I’m remembering an episode of Star Trek. (I LOVED that show.) In it there was an alien creature which fed on negative emotion. The more angry and violent negative emotions it could generate in the people around it, the stronger it got. When Kirk & Spock et. al. started laughing (with the help of Dr. McCoy and his “laughing gas”) well the monster weakened and decided to leave.
Here’s what clients begin to understand via my work with them: A problem is not REAL. It is conjured in the mind and body. It is merely a frame of mind, a way of thinking. And that is very, very subject to change. A problem can be reframed to the point it is un-conjured. That’s what we do in my office.
When the woman left, she commented that her breathing felt easier. We tested her new responses. She thought the previously “anxious-making” thoughts, and anxiety was a no-show. Her body language had changed, as well. She was speaking louder and sitting taller. Her eye contact was more direct. I notice these things. Confidence seeds sprouting all over. I guess it really was a trivial non-problem after all, wasn’t it?
There was an ice cream parlor of my childhood. It was called “Farrell’s.” Their song, their jingle which I still remember: “Farrell’s is fabulous fun for everyone.” Well, I’m borrowing that tune. Hypnosis is fabulous fun for everyone! Yes, it is! 🙂 It’s pleasant. And it’s useful. It’s a method to move you into your power.
All the positive changes that happen in hypnosis. Quitting smoking, losing weight, ending fear, and etc. That’s your power, not the hypnotist’s power. I help you find your power and change your thinking, feeling, doing. That changes everything!
When you find your power, that’s like moving from a cramped basement studio apartment into a palatial penthouse suite. Or a mansion. It’s bigger, and nicer. More fun! Go for it!
She Got the Job – with the help of Seattle’s Mindworks Hypnosis
I received a nice email report from client, Tracy F. of Seattle. We had a session of Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy to prepare her for an important job interview. She had been having fear, and anxiety around it. The email read:
“Connie, I wanted to let you know, after being hypnotized for a calmer and more relaxed state for the job interview, I wanted you to know that I GOT THE JOB!! I appreciate all your help, it was a remarkable difference!!! Hurray!!! Thank you!” — Tracy F, Seattle, WA
Yay, Tracy. 🙂 She solidified her position as “best” by presenting herself well.
In this job market, every little bit helps. Do you have an interview or business presentation coming up? If you would like an advantage called “CONFIDENCE” or “CALM” or both… well, let me help you. It’s what I do.
Our energetic friend is showing you how easy it is to snatch up happiness. Easier than you think!

Have you ever had a thought in your mind, and it wouldn’t leave? A negative, nagging type thought? A worry? Something that keeps looping and replaying in your mind, and creates a bad feeling? I have, in the past. We all have. Sometimes it impacts your sleep, sometimes it impacts your health. It’s absolutely distracting, from what really needs attention in your life! If that type of thinking is getting out of hand in you, there’s help. Imagine that! It’s hypnosis & NLP. Neuro Linguistic Programming ™.
When these tools are skillfully manned (or wo-manned as the case may be) they can change your thinking and feeling and state of being quicker than anything on the planet. If you’re tired of feeling bad, change it! Elizabeth, from Kirkland, did. She was kind enough today to share a few thoughts about her “fascinating” success after a single session of Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy. Watch!
As she says, “It’s a very, very happy change.”
If you’re ready to up the quotient of happy in your life, call me and Michael. We have the tools. And we know how to use them. You’re not going to find Licensed Trainers of NLP ™ like me and Michael anywhere else around these parts, there are only approx. 38 of us in the entirety of the US. I’ve been calling myself “the best in Seattle.” I think I need to upgrade that. We’re “the best in the Northwest.”
Find out for yourself. Call for your free, no obligation consultation. (425) 564-8608.
I love to share happy client reports. Here’s another. Woman came in for weight management–in two weeks she’s lost 5 pounds. She’s happy with that beginning. But what she’s found to be true was something unexpected (to her) that I see all the time. Positive changes roll like a snowball. They intertwine and touch so many aspects of our lives.
She is focusing on healthy and feeling better about herself, and that is manifesting in a number of noticeable ways beyond food and exercise. Her attitude on life has changed, which is improving her work, and improving her relationships. Here’s what K.C. of Bellevue, Washington said to me yesterday:
“It’s an astonishing transformation! I’m so happy! I’m so grateful.”
Yes, hypnosis works for weight loss. And so much more.
I sell professional services. It’s not like a can of peas. Well, they sell it at this store and they sell it at that store and it doesn’t matter where I buy it. At this one place I’ll save 10 cents. These are professional, personalized services, and the difference is the skill set, passion, intelligence, and creativity of the practitioner. We hypnotists and hypnotherapists, we’re not all selling the same thing. Not at all.
I’m selling success and transformation. Ask K. C. of Bellevue. Or call me and I’ll be happy to tell you more about Neuro Linguistic Hypnotherapy: (425) 564-8608.
How to you like the new look of my blog? I wanted a new “Fall Into Change” banner, as I LOVE this time of year and the colors of autumn leaves. This is my time of year.
Pumpkin Pie Overdose?
I was reading an article about Thanksgiving, and about PIE in particular. America’s love affair with pie. Apple pie, pumpkin pie, rhubarb pie, you name it. Blackberry pie. The pie council conducted a survey about America’s pie habits, who likes what and how often. I read a shocking and startling statement, right there in bold ink:
“1 in 5 Americans have eaten an entire pie by themselves.”
Wow. Pie is homey, pie is celebration, but a whole pie??? Was it in one sitting, I wonder… Wow. Sounds like overindulgence.
If you’re one of the 20% of Americans with that kind of eating capacity and proclivity, and if you also have packed on any extra pounds by way of pie overdose…guess what? Hypnosis can help. I can help. Hypnosis works! My company is Mindworks Hypnosis and I’ll get you back on track to healthy eating faster than you can imagine.
If you’re worried about overindulging this Thanksgiving, think about this: Hypnosis for weight loss and weight management. It’s what I do. It’s what I know. It’s my own story as well, although I have never eaten a whole pie. Check out the before and after picture of me! This is how I know hypnosis works, I’ve used it.
Hypnosis works for weight loss.
I was fond of those little individual Hostess pies–lemon in particular. Haven’t had one in years, and that’s a good thing.
If you need pie protection in advance of November 24th, I can help! Absolutely yes. If you want to be satisfied with one piece, we can do that. I you want none, we can do that. If you want to be motivated to go exercise on Black Friday, we can do that. Tell me what you want, and I’ll help you do it.
I love to hear good news! (Who doesn’t?) More good news in my email in box. Another happy, successful client. Yay! I’m sharing the success of Dawn Abourezk, of Seattle, WA.
Dawn says:
Hello there Connie. This Thursday will mark 6 weeks of NO SMOKING!! Yahoo!! The journey so far has been interesting for me…I have had a few dreams where I did light up and was very dissappointed at myself. Nice to wake up and realize “I’m good.” 🙂
Good job, Dawn! Dear readers of “The Hypnotizer,” how would you like your smoking habit to be a bad dream from which you get to wake up? That’s right. It’s do-able. With skilled hypnosis and NLP. Find out more about my smoking cessation services here:
I found this pic today, and it’s so perfect. As a metaphor, and an idea. Yes, it’s now. And it’s now again. Wait. Wait for it…tick, tick, tick, tick…now it’s now again. Grab ahold of NOW. It’s time for change.
Smokey Robinson is one of my favorite singers and songwriters. He wrote a song I really like called “More Love.” (Good title, good idea.) Some of the lyric goes: “Let it be soon. Don’t hesitate. Make it now. Don’t wait. Open your heart and let my love come in, I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart with more love, and more joy than age or time could ever destroy….” Smokey knows what’s important.
This could be a hypnosis song. Let the joy come in is right. Joy attached to positive and long-lasting change. Hypnosis opens a life to joy and a myriad of other good feelings. Good stuff. Do it now.
Wishing you a joy-filled now.
Warm Regards,
Connie
I’d like to share another client success story with you. N.B., of Bellevue, Washington is FREE from cigarettes. Free from cravings. Free from the disgusting, pocket-draining, health-hurting habit. FREE! And she’s delighted with that change, which she never dreamed possible. Of course it is. Was. And always will be. When there’s skilled hypnosis and NLP afoot to help. Here’s what she says:
“I am so proud that I have not smoked all this time. It’s amazing! I can’t believe that I have done it! I used to believe that I could not live without cigarettes. Now I know I will never be a smoker again! I’m so happy I met you, Connie.”
How many of you have ever seen a stage hypnosis show? Did you wonder (as I did my first time experiencing hypnosis, which happened to be while watching a hypnosis show at the Puyallup Fair): “What IS this???” It’s called “stage hypnosis.” It’s a show, or demonstration, for entertainment purposes, of the power of the human mind. It’s fun. Laughs. Humor. Amusement. Amazement. Did you ask yourself (as I did): “Is it REAL??”
Yes! It’s real! These participants in the hypnosis are actually experiencing new realities. For example, these new realities may involve differences in sensation. As a hypnotic subject in a stage show, you may feel hot while imagining a warm beach, even though the room may be perfectly comfortable temperature. You may experience differences in reality, like speaking a foreign language you have never learned. Even Martian! Differences in other sense experiences of the world, an onion may taste like an apple. Differences in your identity. You may begin singing and dancing believing yourself to be Elvis Presley. What IS this? It’s a freedom of expression and inner creativity. In some cases, simply a license to act goofy. How is the hypnotist MAKING the people do that? They’re not. The participants want to–they are volunteers! It’s NOT mind control.
What does this have to do with hypnotherapy—the application of hypnosis to achieve positive changes in behavior and feeling and thinking? It’s the same power of the mind. The same power of the mind to create new realities. Only, the changes are desired and useful, not silly, and good hypnotherapists make them stick. Hypnosis. It’s a GOOD thing!
Michael and I were in Las Vegas this past weekend, and we went to a stage hypnosis show. And we enjoyed it! The ones in Vegas tend to be adult humor, the ones you might see at the fair are family-oriented humor. We love stage hypnosis. In fact, we’ve both been trained professionally in stage hypnosis, as well as our other trainings. In fact, we’ve both performed stage hypnosis–birthday parties and the like. An understanding of the mind is useful, and all new information gathered is useful. Learning stage hypnosis has made me a better hypnotist, adding to my skill set.
Some people think stage hypnosis is “bad” or less valuable. Nope!! Not at all. It’s for a different purpose. Laughter. And it meets that well. That’s entertainment!
Hypnotherapy is for life change. Your positive changes in behaviors, thoughts, feelings to improve your quality and experience of your time on planet earth. Stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy: same animal, different saddle.

Connie Brannan for Seattle's BEST hypnotherapy & NLP.
I offer hypnosis services for weight management, and periodically I get asked questions about “bariatric hypnosis.” I’d like to answer those questions here and explain why I believe it’s ill-conceived, not likely to be successful, and something that I would NEVER do to my clients in a million years.
“What is bariatric surgery?” It’s a variety of invasive medical procedures that involve the slicing and dicing of the human body to artificially create a reduction in stomach capacity, fraught with all the pain, dangers, and complications of surgery, plus the aftermath of nausea, vomiting, dehydration and potential malnutrition, with dubious longevity or long term benefit. What’s the point of all this? To achieve weight loss. (Hint: there’s an easier way!)
The goal: physically creating a situation wherein you’ll eat less–because you can’t physically eat. That removes choice, doesn’t it? And it fails to address whatsoever the core unconscious issues that lead a person to obesity-inducing behaviors–those remain, even after surgery. It doesn’t change feelings, thoughts, beliefs, it’s an artificial and unpleasant restriction on behavior. I like choices for people. What is bariatric surgery? A limiting of choice and just plain dumb.
What would it be like if there were far simpler ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight? Ways that are pleasant, natural, non-intrusive, and encourage healthy choice? That in addition make a person feel good, not just about their body, but their whole life?? Feelings of high self esteem, accomplishment, power, joy, and so on?
Well, we’re all in luck, because there are such ways, when skillfully delivered. They are called Hypnosis and NLP. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (a specialized high-tech hypnosis, which is conversational in nature). These things, when used with artistry and creativity and skill, lead a person to a healthy weight naturally. With surgery, there are still cravings that are present yet denied due to artificial restrictions. With hypnosis and NLP, there are no cravings period. Gone. Which sounds more appealing? To me, that’s the definition of purgatory, wanting and wanting and being unable to have. After bariatric surgery, suffering an eternity of feeling deprived? NO, THANK YOU! That’s like dieting.
Hypnosis is not dieting. It’s life change. Changing how you feel, and how you think, and what you do, and even what you believe to be true. Changing your life. In ways that are useful. No scalpels required.
Unless you are a bariatric hypnotist. Dumber. A bariatric hypnotist chooses to engage in a process of hypnotic change work which involves the client undergoing the aforementioned bariatric procedures hypnotically, while in trance. Trance is meant to be a pleasant experience, not something horrific!! They have au de operating room, ether smells, and sound effects of being cut open so that the person will experience it all as real, and the body respond accordingly. This idea disturbs me greatly. A true hypnotist (one who has had legitimate training and was paying attention and has a modicum of intelligence) has tools to help, that don’t create an artificial fix. Bariatric hypnosis isn’t a “fix,” it’s another f-word, followed by an e-d.
The whole mindset around this “work” disturbs me. The other day I got a mailing soliciting bariatric hypnotists. The language appalled me. It read: “Calling All Hypnotists Seriously Interested in Helping The Morbidly Obese Client Rejoin The Human Race.” Oh!! Really? Those with weight problems are not human? What are they? Aliens? Hey, just a guess, but this does not sound like a compassionate or empathetic point of view. I guess if you’re going to cut them open, it’s easier to do if you think of them as nonhuman. Maybe it’s like dissecting lab rats.
Bariatric surgery? Dangerous, dumb, dubiously effective, and not necessary for successful weight loss. Hypnotic bariatric surgery? In my opinion, that is exponentially dumber, and absolutely wrong-minded–what a waste of a powerful and positive tool for life change–hypnosis. I KNOW how people successfully lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. And I know that they don’t require surgery to do it. Now…how do I know?
Because I’ve lived the transformation from fat to fit, and maintained it for 5 years. Without being sliced open, in reality or in my unconscious mind. Hypnosis and NLP, used properly, are all you need! Here’s what I’ve accomplished:
Before and After.
And I help others to achieve and maintain a healthy weight as well. Here are some comments from some of my successful weight loss clients:
“I have been committed to lose weight for my health for years. However, the actual first step was almost impossible. So before I tried more radical methods, I thought I would try hypnosis. Connie Brannan, and Mindworks Hypnosis worked wonders. The day after my first session, new behaviors emerged and became habits. The amazing thing is – it was so easy.
Late night cravings – gone.
Drinking 8 glasses of water/day – new habit.
Portion control – easy.
A real desire for healthy foods – a new habit.
Feeling full with the right amount of food – a new feeling.
Neuro Linguistic Hypnosis works and fast. I have been losing a consistent 2.5 pounds per week. In the first six weeks, I’ve lost 18 pounds and counting.” –Cynthia Sullivan, COO of a local Bellevue company, Bellevue, WA Update: Cynthia has lost 50 pounds now! 🙂
“Hi Connie,
Just wanted to thank you again for your wonderful help. I’ve lost 40# in 4 months, and I feel confident that I’m going to lose at least 40 more. It’s truly remarkable what a few easy sessions with you have done for my life.
As a health care worker, I’ve always known healthy diet and exercise were key to losing weight, but I never seemed motivated to seriously make those long term lifestyle changes. I grew so obese that I even considered surgery. But the risks scared me, so I decided to try calling you instead. Even after one session, everything changed. I found myself craving healthy foods, appropriate portions, and daily exercise. My sweet tooth and chip obsession disappeared overnight. My self esteem skyrocketted. I finally knew I could conquer my lifelong struggle with my weight. It’s been months since I’ve seen you and yet I’m still right on track with my goals. Hypnosis is easy and it truly works. You’ve changed my life. Thank you!” –E, Seattle, WA.
“The choices aren’t hard anymore.” — Anonymous client, Duvall, WA. (She lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks.)
“Thank you, Connie! The work we have done together has truly changed my life. I have found “my happy” and am now on the journey to a stronger, slimmer, healthier me.” — Kelly, Renton, WA.
“I’ve lost 8 pounds in 12 days!” –Don B., Issaquah, WA.
“It’s amazing! I’ve lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks. I’m happy! I’m sleeping like a baby. My stress level has decreased. I’m making very healthy choices. (Before my last session) I was dancing in the shower, couldn’t wait, eager to come see Connie. She’s guided me to opening my gate to freedom.” –Julie, Mercer Island, WA.
“I will have you know I’ve lost 30 lbs. Girl, you are my absolute idol!” –Lisa B.
“I’m not so glued to the food!” Liz, Redmond, WA.
“I don’t crave ice cream at all now! Or chocolate. I am in shock!!!”– Saliha B., Issaquah, WA.
“Dear Connie: Thank you so much for working with me to help me lose weight. I had just one session, and the positive effects are nothing short of amazing! The cravings that so plagued me are just gone! I feel better and have more energy and just feel more positive since I am not constantly telling myself no. I did not realize the energy I was expending either refusing certain foods, or feeling bad after having eaten them! I cannot wait for our next session. I wish I had found you earlier as I would have saved myself so much grief and disappointment. Thank you for sharing this life altering experience with me.” –Fondly, Monica Anderson, Bellevue, WA.
“I love hypnosis…my knee cracking, painful problem is GONE. I feel a foot taller. I feel thinner. I feel lighter. I feel like a superstar!…Go see Connie! She’s magical!” — Nicole, Seattle, WA.
“I’ve been loving the results and new freedoms from my first round of NLP: 10 pounds gone, much less stress in my life, and I’m saving a ton of money at the grocery store. Yay me! People have been asking me what’s up with the changes and I send them your way.” — K. Dolan, Seattle, WA
“I experienced the most wonderful shift regarding my weight. You said something during the hypnosis that has allowed me to feel much more in touch with my true desires and beliefs about my weight. I feel the change and it has a wonderful ease about it. So I just wanted to let you know and to tell you how much I appreciate your work!” –C., Bellevue, WA
“I lost 4 pounds the first week since our hypnosis session!” –Ms. J., Woodinville
“I’ve lost 3 pounds in the past week since our session. I no longer feel the need to clean my plate.” –Marilyn H., Seattle, WA.
“Thank you for working with me. My eating habits have changed and I’m full much sooner. I haven’t weighed myself, but I haven’t done that in years. My clothes feel better!” –Sheri Parker, Topeka KS
“I haven’t had a donut since I last saw you (3 weeks), which is a MIRACLE!!” — Nichole L., Bellevue, WA
“It’s been 3-1/2 weeks, and I’ve eaten no junk food or candy! None. I’ve never done that before in my life! I’m impressed!” –Jeff J., Seattle, WA.
“I’ve lost 12 pounds!” — Naomi V., Mercer Island.
“It’s amazing. I’m such a different person from who I was. I’m happy, confident, very positive. People around me are noticing and commenting. Best of all, I’m not so hard on myself, I’ve learned to say nice things to myself. I’m so much happier. I feel like I can do anything.” — K.J., Renton, WA.
“Connie, I can’t begin to thank you for the ways you’ve made things better for me. I originally sought out Mindworks as the result of a glowing recommendation from a trusted friend and health professional in an effort to curb my neurotic eating. Connie was wonderfully professional and patient with me even when I lost confidence in myself or the process. I was able to dramatically reduce my nervous/neurotic eating, let go of self-loathing thoughts, gain some peace with difficult parent relationships and feel so much more hopeful and positive about the direction in which I was headed. I absolutely plan to return to do a little more mental house-cleaning and have recommended her so several others.” — Bree, Seattle, WA.
“I went to MindWorks for weight loss but ended up getting so much more out of my sessions with Connie. I have reduced stress, increased confidence and put past dysfunctional relationships in the past. Connie is a warm, caring, professional. The work we have done together has absolutely changed my life. I highly recommend Connie / MindWorks.” –Kelly, Seattle, WA.
“I cannot even begin to say all I want to say about Connie and the work she does at Mindworks Hypnosis. I’ve worked with Connie on a couple different occasions, and she has changed my life completely. I went to her for my lack of energy and enthusiasm for working out and losing weight. I’ve lost 50lbs and am now 10lbs from my goal!” –N, Seattle, WA.
“I was so happy to find Connie. Over the past 50 years I have spent thousands tracking down my constant, and health damaging weight problem. I talked until therapists felt we had gone as far as possible and still weighed over 250 pounds! (and growing) Three short treatments from Connie and I have been losing between 15 and 20 effortless, happy pounds a month. My Life has totally changed for the better. Folks don’t even recognize me from the back! She is a REAL LIVE miracle worker.” –GG, Redmond, WA.
I could go on… Do you get the idea here? Ethical hypnosis performed by skilled and creative hypnotherapists and by credentialed, Licensed Practitioners and Master Practitioners of NLP works for weight loss. It’s natural, pleasant, non-intrusive, and makes your whole life better. Why consider anything else?
A few seats are still available for this! I posted about this a few weeks ago, but you know, it’s worth repeating!! It happens tomorrow evening. An entertaining and experiential event for those who want to achieve something. That means you. That means all of us. Who doesn’t have goals? I don’t know any human tumbleweeds, people I meet want things and to accomplish things and achieve things. Here is a something SO COOL that works. Remember that old commercial, try it, you’ll like it. Try hypnosis. You’ll LOVE it. Warm Regards, Connie
You never stop learning! Not ever. That’s one of my core beliefs, and as such it leads to the possibility of creating continuously a life more in alignment with pleasure, joy, success, power, and so on. Learning gives you the ability to rudder your own ship. Learning is power. Learning is magic. Learning keeps your mind sharp and young.
Who wants an easy and FUN one-evening learning experience, which just happens to be amazingly useful as well? (And inexpensive.) I’m offering something new at Bellevue College, as part of the Personal Development Continuing Education program. Info: http://www.campusce.net/BC/course/course.aspx?C=12634&pc=1066&mc=1387&sc=

Who remembers David Cassidy? The Partridge Family. I sure do! I had a crush on him when I was 13! 🙂 And I liked one song in particular. “Hello, world, here’s a song that we’re singin’, c’mon get happy! A whole lotta lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’, we’ll make you happy! We’ll make you happy.”
I like when people get happy. Because when you feel good, you think different thoughts, and make different decisions which lead to more useful behaviors. That shift in feeling and thinking is what I aim for in my work at Mindworks Hypnosis and NLP. Here’s one recent bullseye!
I got a wonderful report today from a weight loss client. In part, here is what she says:
“Thank you Connie! The work we have done together has truly changed my life. I have found “my happy” and am now on the journey to a stronger, slimmer, healthier me. –Kelly”
Here’s what I say to that! Yay!! 🙂 You go, Girl! Because, Kelly is making these changes happen. I’ve guided her to her internal resources which make her life better, and she’s taken them onboard, like grabbing a football and running for the goal line.
Perhaps it’s time for positive changes in your life, whether it’s weight loss, habit change, letting go of fear, or what have you, hypnosis is a tool that works! I’m ready to help!
I have a photograph of my dad on my desk. Here it is! I’m sharing it. This is my dad the day he caught a fish–and what a fish!– and won a salmon derby in Canada. That’s a 70+ pound salmon!! In my mind, it was the happiest moment of his life!
Now, of course I didn’t know my dad his ENTIRE life, I showed up when he was around 30. But in my mind, it captures the essence of happy. What do you think? And, thanks to Kodak, it’s captured forever. This moment in time. Framed. On my desk. When I see it, I feel happy, too.
Kodak is cool. Photography, allowing us to capture a moment in time visually, terrific. Well, we have something inside us that does even more than that. We have a wonderful ability to not just capture but recreate a moment in time as well. It’s called “memory.” And it’s not just visual. Not just a picture. It’s got the vibrancy of full-sensory LIFE. Re-LIVING. Our memories capture all of it, sensory rich full-bodied experiences, with movement, scent, taste, breath, energy, sound, emotion, thought, etc. It’s all in there. Captured in our minds and in our memories.
Guess what? This is useful!!
Thoughts are attached to feelings. Memory is attached to all of it. If my dad were still alive, and I asked him to remember that moment, that day he caught “the fish” (as it’s known in family lore), he would re-experience all that emotion you see in the picture in his body now. Just as vividly and richly. He would “get happy.” Guess what? This is useful! 🙂
Our unconscious minds (accessible more than we know) have stored the experience. We can capture it again via memory and use it NOW.
One of the things I do for clients is create good feelings and capture them for specific contexts. In a problem situation, I ask them: “How would you rather feel?” We can do that. Capture and bring those good feelings to where they are useful. If it’s fear, bring calm. You can’t have both, fear and calm operating in your body at the same time. If it’s tension, bring relaxed. You can’t have both, tense and relaxed at the same time. If it’s sad, bring some happy. You can’t be both, sad and happy at the same time. As the old song goes: something’s gotta give! It’s the negative, unwanted feeling which goes. And the positive, desired feeling which stays.
That’s NLP. Simple processes which make that happen. So fast!
And when you change how you feel, you change how you think, and you change what you do.
Have you ever made soup “from scratch?” Adding and blending spices and seasonings, salt, pepper, oregano, what have you, and tasting, adding a little more of this, and tasting, a little more of that, and tasting, until it’s JUST RIGHT. Alchemy happens, the flavors meld and merge in the pot into something brand new, something perfectly delicious. Well, we can do the same thing with feelings. Create new ones. Good ones.
I do this with clients! I’m a master chef and my spices are feelings, and I custom blend new, useful feelings for clients, feelings that advance them in new directions. We even give these new feelings new names. I’m often amused with the names my clients create for them. Two recent examples: girl’s resourceful new feeling a few days ago was called “Yay, me!” and man’s yesterday was “Quiet confidence with a smile.” I like both of those!!
What’s really useful is bringing these designer, resourceful feelings into life to change things. That’s NLP.
It’s a simple process and enormously powerful. To feel good, I mean.
Finding out how to feel good in ways and places you want to feel good is really, really easy. Call me.
Something nice to brighten my Monday! 🙂 I received another terrific client report. Yes, hypnosis works:
“Hi Connie!
I don’t know if you remember me, but we worked together last September before I went off to attend college. I came to you with extreme Anxiety and now I am pleased to say that I have not had ONE single Anxiety Attack since September 2010, that’s 9 MONTHS! I want to say thank you sooo much. I have been able to live my life back the way it was Normal and Anxiety free– On no drugs!!
Thank you so much.
Katelyn Culbert – O’Leary”
I love to hear good reports from my clients. Thank you, Katelyn!
Warm Regards,
Connie

It’s springtime! And you know what that means. Time to hit the links! Golf! Michael and I also offer sports enhancement hypnotherapy. Who wants the mental edge?
Here’s more information about that service that we have offered and continue to offer. I’ve created a new website today, hot off the presses:
If you know any golfers out there who want to be good, or better than good, and have more fun enjoying their sport than ever before (or if YOU fit that description) have them call us! We deliver golfing fun and excellence. The “zone” is in you, and we can grab it and bottle it for you. If the mental edge is of interest to you, check out the website. I’ve worked with athletes of all varieties, from Olympic caliber to hobbyists. All can get the mental edge and find improvement in their sport. Athleticism is beautiful.
Michael and I made a couple new videos tonight. Here’s one. I call this a “magic moment.” It illustrates hypnosis without being about hypnosis. 🙂 Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to think outside the box. Hypnosis allow you the ability to do just that, and create workable solutions to life’s challenges and dilemmas.
Want to sleep with strangers? Wellll…here’s an opportunity to do just that, in a way that’s both safe and sensible. In fact, it’s a good thing, a terrific thing. To be 100% accurate, it’s not sleep, it just looks like it from the outside–it’s HYPNOSIS. Who wants to learn how to use their own mind to create success? Me! Me! Me! Me! Maybe you, too? 🙂
I’m teaching a continuing education course at Bellevue College which begins one week from tonight. It’s called “Building Confidence & Self Esteem Through Self Hypnosis.” Here is a pretty inexpensive way to taste and learn hypnosis. I guide you (the students) to trance, and we set an instant trigger to return to that state. When YOU want, on YOUR terms, for YOUR purposes. It’s powerful. It’s pleasant. It’s amazing. Come and learn! We also learn well-forming goals so that they make sense for your life, and are attainable, truly attainable, and how to talk to the unconscious part of your mind. Persuasive talk. So cool!!!

Stage hypnosis shows have always been an important way to introduce hypnosis to the general public. Many hypnotherapists, if not most, received their first introduction to hypnosis through a stage hypnosis show. Connie herself was first introduced to hypnosis through a stage hypnosis show.
Connie’s initial reaction, like that of many, was “this can’t be real,” and “they’re all plants.” That reaction is common because most of us are truly unaware of the power and role our unconscious minds play in each and every thing we do. In some cases, stage hypnotism evokes fear!
What’s really going on in a stage hypnosis show? How does what we see in a show relate to hypnotherapy? How does it relate to what we experience in ordinary life? Most people, including most hypnotherapists, haven’t realized yet that every phenomena experienced in hypnosis is experienced by everyone in their ordinary “waking” state!
I went to a hypnosis show yesterday presented as part of World Hypnotism Day (an event sponsored by the National Guild of Hypnotists, Washington State chapter). The response of most of the audience who were not hypnotherapists was one of fascination and interest. And the hypnotic phenomena are truly that.
The hypnotist performed a lot of skits, all displaying the power of the unconscious mind to control our bodies, to enter imaginative realms of fantasy and to access our minds in ways we perhaps didn’t know we could. Stage hypnosis shows are a powerful presentation of the power of the unconscious mind!
In one skit, the hypnotist created amnesia for the number 7, and had the participant then count the number of his fingers. The participant counted..1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11….have you always had 11 fingers? No, I only have 10 fingers. Anmesia can often be important. What if each time you wanted a cigarette, you simply forgot that you wanted one and continued with whatever you were doing? What if you simply forgot to eat all those unhealthy things that are keeping on those unwanted pounds?
And this experience is something we have in our ordinary life. You know that “tip of the tongue” phenomena? We know something, we know it perfectly, but just can’t get access to it at the moment. Students who study for tests and then “forget” what they learn during the test is common. They haven’t “forgotten” at all; they are just too nervous, anxious or something else to get access to the information. It’s easy to deal with: just give yourself a suggestion to remember, relax, and let your unconscious mind do its work.
The unconscious mind is extraordinarily powerful. It can give or withhold conscious access to information at a mere suggestion. Suggest the number 7 is gone, and, boom, it’s gone. Suggest it’s back, and, boom, it’s back.
The flip side is that the unconscious mind can give access to much more information as well. Suggest to yourself that you will remember more, remember more clearly and you will. In trance, people can recall vivid details and details thought long forgotten. With hypnosis, you can create states where that vivid recollection comes more quickly and more easily than you ever thought possible. And that can carry into your everyday life, allowing you to learn more, learn faster and remember what you’ve learned here.
When we say to ourselves things like “I can’t learn,” “I can’t remember” we are sabotaging ourselves. We are giving ourselves a suggestion, we are telling our unconscious minds to fail at learning, and to “forget.” And those suggestions can be just as effective as the hypnostist’s suggestion to “forget” the number 7. The unconscious is a humble servant–it will do what it is asked to do, so ask it to do things you want it to do.
As always, we’d love it if you’d sign up for our FREE e-newsletter, “The Monthly Trance.” Form below! It comes out (approximately) monthly, and lets you know what’s going on, hypnotically speaking. For instance, yesterday was our free World Hypnotism Day Event in Bellevue. The Seattle Times NW weekender publication declared it a “best bet” for the weekend, and yes, it was. Thank you to all who came out and participated. We’re so glad you’re getting to know hypnosis.
As this event nears, the details are becoming more clear. And I want to share them with YOU! Because the more you know about hypnosis the more you can begin to realize your own power to have the life you want. And that’s terrific!!
Here’s the venue. Bellevue Coast Hotel. It’s right off of NE 8th Street in Bellevue and the 405 freeway. EASY to find. Free parking. It’s on Saturday, Jan 22. It’s pretty much an “all-day” event, with a free continental breakfast beginning at 9:30 am and lots of free talks to attend in 3 different rooms (and paid talks if you want to learn more and I mean REALLY learn) and culminating in a free comedy hypnosis show. Come on down. See the show or BE the show. We’re having a professional stage hypnotist from the Portland area come and entertain. Her name is Debby Taylor, and she’s good!
There will be several free talks, and not just talks. EXPERIENCES. A chance to trance. Get hypnotized by professionals. For free. Begin to stimulate your unconscious mind in that way, that leads to positive changes. In my talk, it’s about healthy suggestions for weight loss. Hypnotist Cheryl Chamberlain’s free talk will focus on smoking cessation. Hypnotist Keith Livingston will offer a free self hypnosis training experience. Michael, my husband, and the President of the organization hosting this event, the NGHWA (National Guild of Hypnotists, Washington State Chapter), will present some cool things you can learn and do right now “The Magic of Instant Change.” His talk is NLP focused, and NLP is a highly specialized VERY cool high tech hypnosis. Michael is also presenting a trance experience. And there are more speakers! All the info is here: http://www.nghwa.org/World-Hypnotism-Day-2011.html.
AND…if you register early (you can also just show up without registering) you get something else. A free DVD to the first 50 registrants. It’s jam-packed full of information about hypnosis, written information, audio information, and video. The DVD includes amazing movie clips of Michael demonstrating hypnotic phenomenon. He got a girl to “forget” the number 3 and how to count, and also to forget her own NAME!!!! (Of course, he also returned those memories to her.) This is real. The power of the mind is amazing. Just watch!
I do hope you’ll come and “Get to Know Hypnosis.” Hypnosis is worth knowing.
Warmest Regards,
Connie

I’ve created a new web page highlighting my work with phobia-fixes and fear release! It’s one of my NLP areas of expertise, and a pleasure to help people with this. Fear sucks. Let’s change it.
I drove past the Bravern (upscale shopping plaza) the other day and they had a GIANT banner splashed across the top of the building: “Fall into Fashion.” Indeed. Those words are what’s known as “a multi level communication.” There’s more meaning there than meets the eye, or lights up the thinking part of your mind. There’s more communication happening, below the surface. Fall into Fashion. It’s a time, (fall, as in autumn, as in now!) it’s an activity (falling into), it implies a sense of ease (it’s as easy as falling off a log) it’s a state of being (fashionable), and more. I also like: Falling into Fall, which I came across the other day on a magazine cover. Michael came up with another cool, similar communication appropriate to our business: Fall into Change.
Fall into change. Yes! What if falling into a new lifestyle or new habits was as easy and natural as the changing of the seasons? As a green leaf turning gold? As a tree letting go of leaves? Of the air becoming crisp and clean? What if change was a natural, and easy process? Big secret. It is!
In addition to all my other tools, I use something called “indirect hypnosis.” Storytelling. It’s a shortcut to learning, and many cultures keep it alive as a way of keeping the learnings of lifetimes alive. In hypnosis, I create and weave seemingly unrelated-to-your-issue stories, metaphors, images, sounds, and more which create new understandings in your mind, which helps you learn and change quickly. And I do an assortment of word play, featuring multi level unconscious communications. Your mind loves to learn, and does it exquisitely well. It will take a word, and process every single possible meaning, literal and otherwise. Multilevel communication.
I was watching a movie on the boob tube last night. At one point a character is having a life crisis, and runs to her psychotherapist for direction. She says: I know I’ve been coming here 2 times a week for 8 years, but now I need some real help. Not surprisingly, he does not deliver it, and she ends up solving her own problem.
That is, and is not the hypnotic way. Solving your own problems, yes. Taking forever, IF ever, no! These (hypnosis and NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Programming) are known as brief therapies, we’re talking minutes to hours, not years–and you do solve your own problems. The premise of my work is that YOU have inside yourself everything you need to change your life for the better, whether it be changing your weight or changing your habits, or improving yourself in any number of ways. I use hypnosis to help you tap into the power of YOU! Fall into your own power. Fall into change. I guide you to the positive resources within and attach them where needed. When that happens, everything changes! And it’s as natural as a leaf changing color and falling off a tree. And as fast. Hypnosis is not something external to you, it’s a doorway into your own power.
It seems that overnight the trees change, and the ground is covered with crispy piles of leaves. The air grows cooler. Autumn has always been my favorite season, long before I began my career as a “changeworker.” I like change. Natural, healthy change. And now is the perfect time, where it’s visible all around us to stimulate our unconscious minds into saying: “Me, too! I’m ready, too. It’s time!” Fall. Fall into change. It’s easy to do, you start by picking up the phone and dialing (425) 564-8608 and asking for me, Connie. I’ll guide you as you Fall into Change. Positive changes, healthy changes, fun changes, happy changes. The time is now. Let’s do it!
