The Power of Mindworks Hypnosis Over Fear
Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
Did you know that your own power of mind is stronger than any learned fear? If fear is not useful, we can turn it off. Kick it to the curb. Release it.
Here’s a poem about irrational fear and the solution to it. I hope you enjoy it!
In the dead of night, when all is still,
And the wind howls with an eerie chill,
I sit alone with my thoughts and fears,
And the shadows seem to draw near.
In the depths of my soul, there lies a dread,
A secret fear that seems to spread.
It creeps and crawls, a living thing,
A monster that knows no relenting.
Oh, how I long to banish this foe,
To live without its haunting glow.
But it clings to me like a shroud,
A dark and brooding, ever-present cloud.
And then I hear of hypnosis’ power,
To tame the demons that seem to devour.
A way to unlock the mind’s own gate,
And free me from this torturous fate.
So with trembling hands and a hopeful heart,
I seek the help of the hypnosis art.
With gentle words and a soothing voice,
The hypnotist guides me to a different choice.
And in that state of deep repose,
I let go of my fears and woes.
The monster that once held me tight,
Disappears into the night.
Thus, in the wake of hypnosis’ sway,
I find myself in a brand-new day.
For in freeing myself from this old fear,
I have learned to rise and let go, and keep joy near.
All the Best, Connie

Client Video Testimonial: Goodbye to Claustrophobia
Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
Another happy client of ours is so thrilled with her successful changes that she is willing to share her name and her face and her words. Lea Hanan had severe claustrophobia that was limiting her life and choices. For decades. Not useful!
She decided to come to Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP (good choice!) and work it. After one session, she was free to ride in elevators. 25 rides so far, and counting! Next up. Proving to herself that flying in airplanes is just as easy and enjoyable.
Here’s her remarks, in video form:
If you’ve been suffering with an irrational and non-useful fear, let us help you remove it. It’s what we do.

Are You Ready to Fly?
Are you ready to turn off fear of flying and enjoy life more? We can help!
NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming specializes in phobia releases. Faster than any other method. I know NLP works, not only from my long, long list of happy clients, but also the fact that my own decades-long phobia (of spiders) was removed with NLP. We have many techniques to end fear including Designer Feelings®, exclusive to Mindworks Hypnosis and NLP. No one else offers this trademarked service. What are you afraid of? And wouldn’t you like not to be? Let’s do it!
Turn off Stress with Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP Client Success Story
Is stressed out and overwhelm a thing? We can help you end all that.
Hypnosis and NLP are amazingly effective for removing stress, anxiety and worry from a person’s life. One of my favorite games, which I actually do as a test after our work: I invite my client to try to feel anxious. “Think about anything you want, anytime in the past when you were stressed out to the max and feeling anxious, and try to get that feeling back now.” It was super easy for them to do before, to access stress and FEEL it. When we began our work, they could do it. Now, after our work, the calm sticks.
When they search inside themselves to try and find and feel stressed, they look perplexed, and then they report: “I can’t! It’s not happening.” Good! That’s our desired outcome.

Confidence in Business and in Life
Need more confidence? We help.
At Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP, we say fear has it’s time and place. In cave man days, if the saber-tooth tiger showed up at the cave door, fear would give you the good sense to go back into the cave. If said tiger were chasing you, fear would give you adrenaline to run fast! In our modern world, however, fear can get out of whack. Traffic, airplanes, public speaking, or as in the case of the success story here in this video, salary negotiations with a boss. When fear is not useful, we can delete it. One antidote to fear is self-confidence.

Hypnosis, NLP and the Fast Phobia Cure

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
Fear is useful. Sometimes. Imagine a leopard has escaped his cage at the zoo and is ready to strike! Fear (that fight or flight) kicks in. The sensible FLIGHT response pumps adrenaline into your body and helps you run really, really fast in the opposite direction. It might save your life.
HOWEVER, fear in ordinary day to day life is not useful. Downright ridiculous, in fact. I use to have a severe fear of spiders. It’s gone. That’s what NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, can do! My fear is gone. It’s hard to describe how amazing and powerful and wonderful that is for someone’s life–when irrational and unnecessary fear vanishes. I was tormented for decades with this fear. Never dreaming it could be gone so quickly.
Here’s a brief video I made with the actual issues that clients have brought to me. Their own personal phobias–that no longer exist. If I added all such client phobia-inducers, the video would have been an hour long. Fear can be attached to anything. And it can be unattached. It’s not rational to have a fear of dinosaurs. And yet, she had one. Until we removed it. I’ve had clients with a fear of the wind (bad one), fear of record stores, fear of overripe bananas, fear of needles, fear of flying, fear of crowds, fear of helium balloons, and so on.
It’s all movable furniture in the mind.
Learn more any time! I’m happy to meet with you and explain what I do and how I can help make your phobia a thing of the past.

Fear of Sharks Bites the Dust – Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP Ends Phobia.
Hope Pettinger, of Manson, WA used to be afraid of the water, and sharks. That fear lasted her “whole life” and limited her enjoyment of water activities. But, not any more. She found Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP. One session later, and she successfully went snorkeling in the Galapagos. Without fear. Only pride. “I did it.” She says. Yes, the power of mind is amazing. Learn more anytime. http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net/faq

Here are Hope’s comments after Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnotherapy:
“Dear Connie: Today we had our first snorkeling experience in Galapagos. We had to wear a wet suit and jump out of a zodiac boat into the water near the cliffs. I DID IT!
The water was very cold but clear and beautiful. I stayed in the water 45 minutes before I got too cold to continue, feeling so much safer. By then, out of 17 of us, only 5 people were still in the water! The fish were beautiful. A few people saw a shark but I didn’t. In my head I thought if I did I would be calm.
I am so proud of myself. I admit I cried when I got out of the water because I was soooo HAPPY!
Thank you so much for helping me enjoy all that this trip is offering to us. Tomorrow we snorkel from the beach and I am looking forward to it!
I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have found you.” — Hope Pettinger, Manson, WA.
Yay, Hope! She found her power of mind to end fear. One session with me is all it took. Irrational fear is so unnecessary. If you’re tired of limiting yourself and your adventures in life because of fear, you can choose to end that fear. Meet with me and I’ll explain what this is and how it works.

Goodbye to Interview Jitters — Resilient with Hypnosis

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
Have you ever been nervous? Sometimes it makes good sense and is appropriate, in that it keeps you safe! Keeps you from walking alone in dark alley ways, driving fast on icy roads, or petting the hungry bear coming up to your campsite.
Sometimes fear is useful. Sometimes not! Most times, not!
Most times, fear and nervous and anxious are a lug wrench messing with life success. Inappropriate, and not useful. Katherine H. of Seattle, WA was experiencing anxiety and dread. We prepped her for job interviewing. Dread won’t land a job, in particular! An interview is a time to shine and be confident and communicate effectively. After Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy, she did just that.
Here’s her report:
“Hi Connie, I’m doing quite well. I’m feeling like my old self again, which is terrific! I interviewed for a job today in Bellevue! What I have noticed is that I don’t have those dread feelings anymore…Today as I was waiting for the interview, my brain said happy! It felt soothing. 🙂 It’s really nice not to be bothered with the roller coaster ride and I find that I am more resilient overall.” — Katherine H., Seattle, WA.
Terrific, is right!
How long did it take to achieve this turnaround, this transformation? From fear and dread to happy, soothing resiliency? Quicker than you think. A few hours, a few sessions. Not years of laborious therapies that like to talk about problems. We don’t analyze problems, we do the work to END the problems. If other therapies had the tools to do so, they would. They don’t. Here’s what works: pure NLP done right combined with creative (not canned or generic) hypnosis. I love what I do, because it is creative.
Some Seattle area hypnotists will read a generic script at you in a 45 minute hypnosis session, and call it good to go. In my book, not good enough. Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP offers something very, very different. A creative flow of words, ideas and communications designed for your mind and life, that lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. Interactive! Fun! Fascinating! And it works. NLP is a “high tech” hypnosis, and very few are skilled in it, which is unfortunate. Done right, it’s amazing.
The proof is in the pudding. We’ve updated the website today, http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net with more client success testimonials, in addition to Katherine’s. We’ve shared over 250 client reports and comments of their successful life changes at this point. If you’ve got a few hours to spare, they’re great reading and thoroughly inspirational!
You didn’t know change was so easy, did you? Find out for yourself, any time! Call me at 425-564-8608 for a free consultation and learn more about what I do and how I can help.
All the Best,
Connie

A Time for Stress Release
Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
The right frame of mind is essential to success in any human endeavor. Stress, anxiety and fear are debilitating. Anger and disappointment slow us down. A mindset of calm determination, confidence and optimism lead to opportunity and success-seeking.
The world is in transition. Current events in the political arena are creating negative emotion and negative energy–widespread. Particularly in my state, the beautiful, Evergreen, Washington State.
Secret #1: As the events of our life and times unfold, we get to choose how we feel. When we change how we feel, we change how we think and what we do. New empowered emotions lead to new behavioral choices.
Secret #2: Skilled hypnosis and NLP help us activate those choices.
If this current climate disturbs you, let me help. I work one-on-one with clients to create new Designer Feelings®. If you are in need of some stress and negative emotion release right now, call me and I can help. Pronto!
We create new feelings, together. Collaboration! We attach those new feelings where they are useful in your life. We transform a problematic state of mind and body, such as fear, sadness, hopeless, etc. into power and joy and success generators.
Offer for my blog readers: for the balance of November I’m offering a massive discount on my hypnosis-in-a-box, “Stress Management Program.” This audio CD normally sells for $37, for this month only, $10.
The world is in transition. Choose the direction of your own mind and body and choices. Because you can.

Short and Sweet Hypnosis Client Testimonial

Hi, Seattle Hypnosis Friends!
One of THE most common fears that I help people erase using my hypnosis and NLP skills is “fear of public speaking.” It’s right up there, next to spiders and airplane travel.
Claudia, of the Greater Seattle area, came in to Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP to work on public speaking and confidence. There was stuttering, fear, self doubt, brain freeze, and etc. going on when she was trying to communicate in business settings.
After only one session, she’s already noticing results and successful changes. Here’s her short and sweet report:
“Hi Connie, I just have to thank you for your work with my mind. I feel much better. I’ve been more confident and clearer speaking in public, calmer.” — Claudia Mihkelson, Bothell, WA.
She also told me that she’s noticed that she is more comfortable talking, expressing herself more clearly, and using a more confident voice. That’s right. When you change how you feel, you change how you present and how you communicate. Feeling better leads to speaking better. We work both sides of that coin! Claudia knows. She’s coming in for more sessions to pump up her confidence and joy in self even more. And I’m happy to help!
I myself have made transformations in this arena called “fear of public speaking.” I went from shy and withdrawn to teacher and also recently took a course on stand up comedy. I performed my own material in a comedy club last year. Talk about enlarging boundaries. Anyone can. The power of the mind, unleashed through skilled unconscious communications (hypnosis and NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming) is awesome!
Learn more anytime. I offer private client sessions as well as teaching these materials through Mindworks NLP, a State Licensed Career School.

All the Best,
Connie

Seattle Client Success: NLP and Hypnosis End Anxiety

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!
Here is another happy camper in the Seattle area testifying for Mindworks Hypnosis’ Neuro Linguistic Programming and hypnotherapy services. Shelly F. came in with “severe anxiety.” She reports after two sessions: “I have absolutely no anxiety now!” Could this be possible? YES! Her comments:
“I came in a couple weeks ago with severe anxiety, and (after two sessions)… I am HAPPY! And I am in love with Connie because she has made my life change for the better so much. I have absolutely no anxiety now, and I’m excited to start working on some of the other things I have to fix. I would recommend her highly to anybody who is looking to feel better and live a better life.” Shelly F., Seattle, WA
Is it magic? Or is it the power of your mind, unleashed? I opt for the latter. You have more brain power to make changes than you currently use. I’m happy to help you use your mind for healthy and happy changes.
Warm Regards,
Connie

The Extinction of Fear
Hello!
I’m helping a client who has a phobia: fear of dinosaurs. That’s a new one! And it’s also proof positive that these fears are irrational and cannot be solved consciously. How many dinos is she likely to run into on a daily basis that it should be a continuing terror in her life?
They’re extinct! Let’s make the fear be extinct. I know how! Got to get into the unconscious mind to solve these things! 🙂
Fear can be attached to anything, and can be unattached in a heartbeat. That’s the power of Neuro Linguistic Programming. NLP. I know it’s true! I’ve lived the difference from fear to calm–I had a phobia that lasted decades. Spiders. Panic and hysteria and adrenalin and screaming. After 15 minutes of NLP performed 5 years ago, “poof!” No more fear. I like to give clients proof, known in the trade as “convincers.” Well, my neurology of fascinated clear-minded CALM while standing next to a spider nowadays, it’s a good convincer for me!
It’s cool to help people with these things, and I’ve worked with pretty much
everything under the sun. Or so I thought. Dinosaurs is a new one. Beyond the common fears, fear of public speaking, fear of heights, fear of flying, fear of driving, fear of spiders and snakes, fear of elevators, fear of the dentist, I’ve helped people with fears of overripe bananas, record stores, the wind (seeing movement in trees led to
panic), the color red, bridges, sleep, and more. But Dinos! As I said, that’s a new one.
We’ll make short work of that fear!
Fear can be useful, when it’s appropriate. Historically, when the saber toothed tiger showed up at the cave, it was a good response to run away. If man had walked the earth at the same era as dinosaurs, it would have been useful to run away then, too,
only we didn’t.
What are you afraid of that you don’t need to be afraid of? I can help. Call me and I’ll be happy to make your fear extinct! Connie and Michael @ (425) 564-8608. http://www.seattlehypnosisforphobias.com/ and http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net
Warm Regards,
Connie
Fear of Driving Left at the Curb
Hi, Guys!
I love happy news. Not that it’s any surprise to me, but I like to receive confirmation in “the real world” of the success of the work we do. Joy Epstein of Sun City, Arizona, had a terrible fear of driving–to the point that she had not driven a car in years. She knew how, and had driven earlier in her life, but had severe panic attacks and could not get behind the wheel and could not drive. Until she could–with Mindworks Hypnosis. Which was actually amazingly quick. (That’s what NLP does for you.) At the conclusion of the first session with me, when her husband came to pick her up, she got behind the wheel and drove home! Yay!
People ask me all the time: do the changes stick? Of course they do. When you update a program in your mind, you’ve got a new program running and the old one is transformed. My spider phobia has never come back, and it’s been 5 years now. It’s not going to. I worked with Joy on her driving fear last summer, and here’s the current report:
“I have been able to drive without a panic attack. I drove with my husband on local freeways. I was also able to help him drive from Bellevue to Arizona, which was a dream of mine, and he was so happy and grateful to have a break from driving! You really changed my life, and “thank you” does not seem enough to say. It was truly wonderful meeting you. I have bragged about you – in the best possible way – to some people here in the neighborhood – so much so, that you may get new clients who fly to Bellevue to meet with you! …You are an awesome Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapist…thank you for helping me. — Joy Epstein, Sun City, Arizona”
What are you afraid of? When you decide it’s time to ditch that fear, toss it to the curb, I can help. Call me to learn more about my Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy services and arrange for an in-person free consult. Call Connie at (425) 564-8608.
Warm Regards,
Connie
