Is NLP a “Pseudo-Science?” No Way, Jose!

Hey, guys!  Check out my new article I’ve written for the website: Is NLP a  “Pseudo-Science?”  No Way, Jose!  Hot off the presses!

NLP is maligned and misunderstood, in some corners.  Here’s what it really is.  Amazing, effective, and versatile tool to help anyone do anything!

An excerpt from my article:

“This work is at its core a conversation between the NLP practitioner’s conscious mind and the client’s unconscious mind.  How can you measure the effectiveness of a conversation scientifically? You can’t. The proof of NLP’s effectiveness is in the changes that the client experiences in their behaviors and mindset.”

As I always say (and I LOVE this expression):  “The proof is in the pudding.”  Is NLP the real deal?  Find out for yourself.  https://www.mindworkshypnosis.net

All the Best,  Connie

“Connie Saved My Life!” – A Review of Connie Brannan & Mindworks Hypnosis

Best Seattle hypnosis & NLP services

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

The following review made my day!  Another happy client, and one willing to share her success story.  Thanks, JS, the best is yet to come!  Here’s the review:

“Connie saved my life!

And when I say she saved my life, what I literally mean is that she gave me the gift of no longer having to be the person I was any more. She showed me a new path to become the person I wanted to be. She helped me envision a whole new life! And we worked together to put the pieces in place to make that vision a reality. So, in this way, Connie saved me, and I am so very grateful and thrilled to say that in the months and years since working with Connie, the positive changes keep coming!! It’s just amazing – SHE’S amazing!

I found Connie because I was searching for a path out of my own darkness. AND I was looking to fast-track changes, so having heard only a little about hypnosis, it made perfect sense to me to give it a try as therapy had often made me feel heard but never produced lasting change. And I was done talking – I was looking for action.

I’d done enough work to know what I wanted to change when I met with Connie the first time. And I knew “my story” about the experiences in my life that had helped shape who I was. But I didn’t know how to fix it. I lacked skills and tools to meaningfully address any of it in ways that would produce real change. This is where Connie came in: she walked me thorough her process, explained how it all worked, and patiently went at my pace. She is so very kind, gentle and incredibly empathetic!

Every session with Connie has been so much more liberating and validating than even the best therapy sessions I ever had.

From our 1st meeting, I trusted her completely — so I was able to relax and let go. From then on, we worked together to get to the root of issues, articulate exactly what I wanted changed, define how I did want to feel, and worked to get me there. From the time of our 1st session to now, I’m still experiencing changes because she’s taught me how to do some of this work on my own. I cannot say enough great things about Connie, my life-changing experience, and how grateful I am that I found her!”  — JCS

Goodbye to Fear of Flying – Aloha! to Fun.

Hypnosis client success story.
She loves to fly. Now.

“Aloha Connie!  Well wow!  Just wow.  I can’t believe I just went on a 5.5 hour flight with zero anxiety and fear!  Not only did I not have the fear but I enjoyed the flight.

I was thinking the next bout of bad turbulence was sure to throw me in to tizzy but no such thing happened.  I was CALM through it all.  And
there was quite a bit of turbulence!!

Thank so much Connie.  I’m so amazed at your talents.” — A.K. Seattle, WA

She Lost 40 Pounds with Mindworks Hypnosis!

Another one of my happy NLP and hypnotherapy client reports:

“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 skyrocketed . 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.

What Makes a Great Hypnotherapist?

Hypnosis is an art form. And no two artists perform the same work in the same way, or achieve the same results.  An artist (hypnotist) creates work based on a personal skill set born of many things:

  • innate level of creativity
  • intelligence
  • life experience
  • communication skills
  • ability to connect with people
  • ability to tell compelling stories that stimulate the unconscious mind
  • number and variety of professional trainings
  • years of clinical work.

Find the best creative mind artistry at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.  http://mindworkshypnosis.net/

Private sessions of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis.  Work with Connie Brannan, CHt., Clinical Hypnotherapist & Licensed Trainer of NLP.®  What is NLP?  NLP is high tech, conversational, power-hypnosis.

13th Anniversary for Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP

Offering hypnosis & NLP services in Greater Seattle since 2007.

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

A new year.  A new decade.  I started this business in 2007, and it has exceeded my expectations, in terms of the pure joy of creation and self expression it affords me.  I love the work I do, and I love how I help.

I offer advice to new hypnotists.  A huge part of this puzzle called success and longevity is getting the word out.  Hence, I spend a lot of effort on my website, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.

A website should be legit.  Reflective of the business and people involved.  I’m not a fan of “templates” and boilerplate generic text.  I like genuine.  And original.  I created my website myself–and I’ve written every word describing my services and the numerous articles and I made the videos shared (about 100), selected all images, etc.  It’s me.

And, I always like it when people respond well to it.

“I love your positive energy… somebody who is walking the walk and not just talking to talk.” — Juliette N, Montana

A girl in Montana wrote to me, wanting to work with me.  Unfortunately, my work is face-to-face in my office in Bellevue and involves a multitude of hands-on techniques for success.  A watered-down version of my work via phone or skype wouldn’t cut it.  Those who are serious come work with me, some even from a great distance–and I like that indicator of determination.

I gave Juliette some advice on finding a skilled hypnotherapist.  Hypnotherapy as a profession is growing–so I’m sure she’ll find someone nearer to her.  NLP is the real deal for change and I directed her to the Society of NLP® to find credentialed practitioners.

I’ve looked at some local hypnotists’ websites and their name is hidden, their face is hidden, and there’s no hint as to WHO this site belongs to. Canned!  A picture of a trickling stream and someone in a lotus position.  Personally, I’d like to know more about the person I’d be working with.

I’m celebrating 13 years in business as a hypnotist.  I love it!  Here’s to the next 13 and beyond.

All the Best,
Connie

On Top of the Space Needle Now that Fear of Elevators is Gone

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

Recently I posted a video testimonial of Lea Hanan of Renton, who was thrilled that we ended her claustrophobia and fear of elevators with Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy.

With fear gone, her world is continuing to expand! Yay!  She just sent me a video to share with you all of her triumph (I think that’s the perfect word) at overcoming this fear.  It’s filmed on the platform at the top of the Space Needle.

She had a debilitating fear of elevators going on 13+ years, and she was unable to go up the Space Needle.  Now, she can, and she did!  Here’s her joy in the experience, in her own words and beautiful face!

I know the wind sounds are loud in the open air, so I transcribed her comments for you:

“Hey, Connie!  I am on top of the Space Needle. Really, on top of the world! And it’s all because of you and the way that you helped me be comfortable doing anything, actually, that I want to.

So, I have not been up the Space Needle since I was a little girl. And in fact I have a memory of my kids coming up and me waiting down at the bottom. And wishing I could do this with them. And now, here I am with my nephew celebrating his first week of school.

And I am able to do this very comfortably. I came up in the elevator. I had zero discomfort. No heart palpitations. Nothing! I just came here with excitement. And it’s all because of you! Thank you so, so much! I never thought (I could do this).  Easy, easy.  Thank you so much, Connie. ” — Lea Hanan, Seattle, WA.

We asked Lea to test herself in the world, and notice the changes.  The proof is in the pudding, as I say.  So she did!  I’m so happy she wanted to share her success with you, hopefully, to inspire you that you can have your own successful changes.  As Lea says:  “Easy, easy!”

All the Best,
Connie

It’s Not a Warning — It’s a Hypnotic Suggestion for Addiction

Smokeless Tobacco is addictive.Hi, Hypno-Friends!

I’m helping a client to quit chewing tobacco.  It’s a habit he’s been doing for 25+ years!  He informed me as we started:  “I’m addicted to tobacco.”  He took that idea on board and created a belief out of it.  He believed he could never quit against the power of ADDICTION, therefore he delayed seeking help to do so.

The good news:  skilled NLP Neuro Linguistic Programming makes short work of removing “addictions.”  The mind controls the body, and that includes chemical responses.  The antidote to addiction is choice.  We can find and install new and different unconscious choices, and voila, there is no addiction.  I know this is true because I remove “addictions” daily, and did so for myself as well:  no more sugar addiction for me.

So, this client had his first session to quit chewing tobacco, and it went amazingly well.  At the end of the session, he was so convinced of his power of choice and control over tobacco, that he tossed his tobacco can into my garbage can.  Yay!  The work we did together looks great and we’ll see how he does in the world.

Later, I fished the tobacco out of the garbage (I use it for testing future clients).  And I was struck by this “warning label.”  “Smokeless tobacco is addictive.”  Wow!  This is not a warning to create non-use of tobacco.  It’s the opposite!   It’s a suggestion.  A suggestion which, if accepted, creates addiction.

Conscious mind will look at the words and say:  “Oh, I shouldn’t be doing this, should I?”  And reach in for more tobacco.  Conscious mind does not control the habit.  UNconscious mind will look at the words and, as the obedient servant it is, create what is suggested.  UNconscious mind says:  “Ok, we can do that!” and creates addiction.  If this is meant to be a “warning label,” it is a miserable failure.  I suspect that tobacco manufacturers hope this idea will go into the mind, be accepted, and create an addiction.

Every time my client reached into that can to use chewing tobacco, a suggestion was being made to the UN-conscious mind:  Addiction!  Addiction!  So, the unconscious mind agreed.  And created addiction.

Words have power.Ideas are power.  Words are power.  What I do at my office is help work new ideas into the mind so that we get to choose what we create in our world.  I’m very, very attuned to words and how they impact the mind, both consciously and UNconsciously.  This so-called warning label is not helpful to quit tobacco, quite the opposite instruction is being given to the mind.  And that’s not good.

If you need help to stop tobacco, or other “addictions,” there really is help.  Addictions can be anything, sugar, alcohol, gambling, spending, even negative thinking.  I help pull you out of existing patterns and create new ones.  I’m a Licensed Trainer of NLP® and I have tools to help.  Find out more:  http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net.

NLP is the Study of Successful Thinking.

Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro Linguistic Programming

Hi, hypnosis friends!

In my office and my client work, the primary tool is NLP.  Neuro-Linguistic Programming.  I blend this with creative hypnotherapy, reiki, and more.

My clients ask me: “What is NLP?”  Short answer:  NLP is the control panel for the mind.

Here, again, is a little video I created to help explain:

Dr. Richard Bandler (NLP’s co-originator) says: “NLP is the study of successful thinking. …It’s really all about problem solving, in the end.”

I am one of Dr. Bandler’s Licensed Trainers of NLP®.  In addition to owning and operating a career school teaching NLP, I also use it daily in my client work.  Our toolkit is the artful manipulation of unconscious strategies and taking conscious control of them—the pictures in our mind, our inner voice(s), our inner thoughts and beliefs, and how we feel in any given moment. All of these create what we do and how we perform and live–and ALL are under our control.

With NLP, we don’t study what went wrong (problems), we study who can do it right (it being anything) which we can then replicate.  We can adopt those unconscious strategies and  attain similar abilities and successes.  For example, it’s not how or why a phobia was created, it’s about the person who shook it off and changed.  He did that in his mind, and so can you.  With NLP, we have the strategy to end a phobia (any phobia).  I know it works because that was my very first “convincer” experience with NLP—having my decades long spider phobia vanish in a NLP class exercise.

It’s an amazing skill set for effective communications both within our mind and with others in the world, rapport, influence, self empowerment, and more.

More info about NLP is here  Our FAQ  Frequently Asked Questions Page.  If you’d like some rapid and powerful changes in your life, NLP is the way to go.  Find out more anytime,  I do offer a free in office consultation where I explain how I can help and answer questions about these tools of hypnosis and NLP.

Confidence in a Bottle – Setting an NLP Anchor

NLP control panel of the mind.
Take control of confidence.  Because you can.

Hi, Mind-Powerful!

Are you ready for a new tool?  One of the key pieces of NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming is “anchoring.”  It’s about making connections in the mind that empower us.  Our mood, our actions.  How would you like to have a way to bring confidence into any project or thinking, on demand?  You can.  I’ve made this video to guide you through the process, step by step:

It can be as simple as that.  One memory, one touch.  Or you can get fancy and blend new feelings together.  How about confident and energized?  How about confident and creative?  You’ve had moments in your life of any and all good feelings.  Find them and follow these steps as the video lays out.  You can layer more than one feeling in the same touch–and create what we call in NLP parlance “a stacked anchor.”  I invite you to play with this.  Confidence changes everything.

Another 5-Star Google Review for Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP – Quit Smoking Success

Hi, Seattle Hypnosis Friends!Get happy and successful with NLP and hypnosis!

I love my good feedback.  As I tell my hypnosis and NLP clients, when they win, I win.  And, in my office and in my school, we are very much in it to win it.  Some hypnotists go into this type of work thinking it’s an easy buck.  (It’s not.)  I do this work because I love it.  It’s my art!  It’s stimulating, challenging, and oh so rewarding when my clients get their successful outcomes.

Brian Jacob, of Seattle, Washington got his results.  He quit smoking in one session of Neuro Linguistic Programming and hypnotherapy at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.  After 15 years of smoking a pack of cigarettes a day, he has quit.

He wrote me a 5-star review on third party business review sites Google and YELP.  I love his success and, with his permission, I’m sharing his words:

“I have been smoking one pack a day for the past 15 years. I tried to quit so many times but it never worked. There was always something that pushed me right back to it.   One session with Connie… That’s right… One session!… And I was smoke free!  I still don’t know how she did it, but now every time I think about cigarettes I am like : “Oh no!”.

I left my cigarettes and my lighter at her office when I left and never had to buy cigarettes since then.

Some advice if you want to quit smoking and are considering using Connie’s Services:  Do not think of hypnosis based on what you’ve seen on TV. It is not a joke. Just be super open and play Connie’s game. I feel like the fact I was so open to her and treated hypnosis so seriously truly helped Connie to do the right work with me right away.

Hypnosis made me demonize cigarettes, yes. But the nicotine craving was still there for a couple of weeks. I used patches and I was done after 3 weeks of using them less and less every day. I didn’t need anything after that… I was cured.

Let’s be honest, being hypnotized is kind of a bucket list item. There is something fascinating about it. If it does not work for you (Which I truly doubt), at least you can say: I did it!

Anyway, let Connie guide you, she is FANTASTIC and I am so grateful I get to work with her.  Smoking sucks!”

As I told Jacob, HE made this happen.  Anyone can create any desired outcome for themselves.  WITH the right tools skillfully and artfully used.  I’m a Licensed Trainer of NLP®.  NLP is what he calls “Connie’s game.”  It is fun.  And it’s a game that Jacob won.  Goodbye to cigarettes and smoking, and hello to a healthier (and longer) life.

What’s it worth to you to successfully take control of your life and habits?  Habits don’t control us unless we allow them to.  We can control them, end habits, create new habits.  If you want fast change, do what works.  Skilled, ethical hypnotherapy and NLP.  Call me, and I’m happy to meet with you and explain this work.  It’s different.  And powerful.

What is NLP? A Simple Video Answer

NLP is the real deal for life change.

People have heard of hypnosis, and they know it works for all kinds of personal change such as weight management and smoking cessation.  But NLP?  Neuro Linguistic Programming?  It’s less well known.

It should be better known.  Because it’s amazing.  It’s been called “hypnosis on steroids.”  I blend hypnotherapy and NLP together in my private client sessions.  This turbo-charges change.  Check out the testimonial pages on my website to see if rapid, successful change happens or not  (Hint!  It does!)

I made a video this morning to share a simplified explanation of “What is NLP?”  I’m sharing it with you now:  🙂

As always, opportunities abound to learn more. Call me at 425-564-8608 and we can set up a consultation meeting.  NLP is the cat’s meow. Only better.

I’d love to share it with you.

Visual Montage Describing Hypnosis

Best Seattle Hypnotherapy & NLPHi, Seattle* Hypnosis Friends!

I’ve made a new video, which I’m sharing below!  🙂  My goal is to spread the word about the power of hypnosis to improve life.  I’m enjoying that, an improved life through hypnosis. I want you to, too.

Hypnosis is misunderstood in the world as something dark and strange.  WRONG!  Here’s what it really is:  a fun, pleasant mind space where your wildly creative unconscious mind is free and unfettered to create change without the limitations of the day to day thinking mind.  It’s inspiration.  It’s intuition.  It’s gut knowing.  It’s open choice and possibilities of new ways of being:  joy, confidence, motivation, energy.  I love hypnosis.

These videos are fun for me.  I select images (and buy them for my business use) that speak to me of the power of hypnosis.  Then I string them together with short, easy explanations.  A picture encodes so much information, more than words.  Look at the picture of the girl crouching, huddling, unhappy.  And look at who she really is, the shadow on the wall.  She’s amazing, she’s powerful, she’s resourceful, she’s strong.  And she can accomplish things.  That powerful one is you, with the help of hypnosis.

Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP for your New Year's Resolutions
It’s time for hypnosis!

This is a good time for change.  Call me and I’ll be happy to meet with you in a free 1/2 hour consultation meeting and explain this wonderful thing called unconscious mind and how we tap into it.

NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a powerful methodology of personal change and influence involving understanding the mind, how it works, and how to create effective communications and connections.  With NLP training, we learn to read others (calibration), develop connections with others (rapport), wield influence through artful language (Ericksonian language), choose our own state of mind (anchoring) and so much more.  NLP can transform thinking, feelings, and behaviors in desired ways.  With these tools, it becomes very easy to create personal change and success of all varieties in ourselves and others.

This is a live, experiential program, not just learning “about NLP,” but rather, learning to “do NLP.”  Licensed Trainers of NLP®, Connie and Michael Brannan’s course is designed for anyone, business people, young people, parents, therapists, those interested in self-development, those curious about the power of mind, or those looking for a new career as an NLP Practitioner.  The uses of NLP are unlimited, for business success, improving relationships, effective parenting, enhanced learning, personal development, and more.  This certification comes through the Society of NLP®, the organization of the co-originator of NLP, Dr. Richard Bandler.

Students will learn not only techniques of change, but the underlying principles of empowerment and structure of change.  Students will learn how the mind creates our world, beliefs, and actions, and how we can alter those things.  Included:

–Well-formed goals

–Representational systems

–Eye accessing

–Calibration

–Rapport

–Meta model

–Milton model

–Anchoring

–Reframing

–Several powerful change processes

–And more.

–Bonus presentations on NLP for Sales, NLP for Personal Development.

Mindworks NLP offers a variety of mind power training courses, including hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic programming certification programs), and stage hypnosis training.  Connie & Michael Brannan also offer private sessions of NLP blended with hypnotherapy in their clinical practice, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP in Bellevue, WA.  http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net

Creative Hypnosis To Quit Smoking With Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP

Quit Smoking Seattle HypnosisHi, Hypnosis Friends!

Here’s a story to share with you, all about the hypnotic power of a half-eaten rotten banana.

I was working with a Seattle man the other day on quitting smoking. One of the elements of this work is our search for a useful feeling called “hell, no!” This gentleman, his “Hell, no!” was the thought of eating a rotten banana–he declared it the worst disgust feeling he could conjure. Coincidence, and propinquity! I had a half eaten well-past-its-prime squishy black banana in my trash can at the office at that very moment. I fished it out and we gave him several good whiffs, while I used my hypnotic tool kit to set that disgust equal to smoking. He’s done with cigarettes. Cravings are dead.

Long live the rotten banana!  And long live the happy and healthy nonsmoker.

At the same time, and on the flip side of the coin, we also customized some powerful, good Designer Feelings™ in place of smoking, and attached those to undo the habit.  Wonderful feelings that encourage healthy:  calm, contentment, in control, and so on.  Just as what generates disgust is unique person to person, so, too are the good feelings which can kick smoking desire to the curb.  We explore and generate both in our Greater Seattle hypnotherapy center.

There’s a science and methodology to Neuro Linguistic hypnotherapy blended with fun and creativity, and, guess what?  It works!  For quitting smoking, as well as a variety of other positive changes.  Are you ready to quit smoking?  Let’s do it!  Call me and let’s get started.

Fear of Driving Ended with Skilled NLP- Mindworks Hypnosis

Success with Hypnotherapy
Happy Mindworks Hypnosis client note.

“Great Results.”  One more happy client testimonial for my work at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.

John Whitley does a lot of driving for his career. Unfortunately, he suffered (past tense) anxiety and nerves driving, tense and gripping behind the wheel. When you’re nervous, you’re not thinking clearly and it makes you less safe on the road. That needed to change. So, he did. He came to Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.  And here’s his report after one session of Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy:

“Hello Connie, I just wanted to drop you a note about the first session. Great results. I have driven over the Pass two times since the first session, each time the drive gets easier. I cant put into words how much I truly appreciate your help. I would like to set up another session this week if you have time available. (another issue to work on) Thank you, John Whitley”

Yay, John!  Good job!

If you’d like to dump unnecessary fear, call me.  425-564-8608.  We can do that!

Teenage Empowerment – Client Testimonial for Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP

Greater Seattle Clinical Hypnotherapy NLP ServicesHi, Greater Seattle Hypnosis Friends!

I like working with teenagers. Got a nice message from one young client today:

“I am so grateful for how much you helped me to change my life, decide my future, and grow as a person.” — A. R., Issaquah, WA.

That’s right!

A.R. was in a dark place in her life when she first came in for hypnosis & NLP services. She was making some unhealthy, self destructive choices.  That’s changed now.  New habits are in place.  She glows with life, confidence and positive energy.

I was thinking this morning about how Dr. Bandler’s work in developing Neuro Linguistic Programming (a high tech conversational hypnosis) has touched so many lives in powerful, wonderful ways. He’s the tree of NLP, I’m a branch from it as his Licensed Trainer of NLP ®, and I get to touch so many leaves (lives) through my teaching and client work.

Trees are a beautiful metaphor.  Life and growth and strength.  I think people, including young people, are incredibly powerful–if they only knew how to access and activate that power.  I know how to help do that.  It’s called NLP.  And it’s what I teach students at Mindworks NLP and do with clients at my Bellevue hypnotherapy clinic, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.

Improve Confidence and Kick Self Doubt Out the Door with Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP

Make your own best decisions, call Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.
Make your own best decisions, call Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

Sometimes life feels like random events move us creating random outcomes.  We might doubt our abilities, and hesitate or waffle on decisions–be those decisions large or small. We’re paralyzed with self doubt. Confusion.  Lack of confidence.  Indecisiveness.  Fear.

I think there’s a better way to live.

I found this ridiculous item at “Stupidiotic” store in Las Vegas.  It’s called the “Decision Aider.” For those who can’t decide.  A random magnetic pendulum helps you “decide.”

Do you want to keep waffling on decisions?  The answer is:  “No!”  What would it be like to live with confidence in yourself and your ability to make fast and clear-minded decisions?  That sounds preferable to me!  And guess what?  Hypnosis & NLP is a tool to create that in you.  With my trademarked process called Designer Feelings®, we build your: Unshakable confidence.  Clear thinking.  Quick synthesis of large amounts of information. Optimism.  And energy to go for it!  All blended into one powerhouse state of mind for success.

You know what’s nice about making a decision?  You’re doing something, you’re moving forward.  And that’s always good.  Even the wrong decision is better than the limbo-land of no decision.  Why is it better?  Because you can always take stock, change course, and make new decisions later.  That’s called “control.”

In the world of NLP, we express it as:  “There is no failure, only feedback.”  And that feedback helps us move in the directions we want.  Success, joy, fun, abundance, etc.

If you’d like to improve your confidence and decisiveness, we can help.  Our trademarked process is called Designer Feelings®.  That’s what we do, kick self doubt out the door, and then lock it.  So it can’t get back in.  And you’ll find yourself making the best decisions for your life.  The first one is calling Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.  425-564-8608.

Not That, This! An NLP Visualization Technique for Positive Change

Happy successful life with NLP and hypnotherapy.Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

How would you like to learn to minimize problems out of existence?  You can!  Here’s an easy and powerful NLP technique to “explain to the brain” the things you want and the things you don’t want.  Not that!  This!

I was working with a lady in my office one day recently, and in the course of our work, she complained to me: “You’re minimizing my problem!” Yes! Yes, I am. And so should you. That’s the whole point of this work: to minimize problem(s) out of existence. And yes, we can.

Would you like to minimize your problems to the point that they don’t exist? Here’s an NLP technique to do just that. Literally.  Read more…

https://mindworkshypnosis.net/hypnotizer/seattle-nlp-training-visual-swish-technique/

A problem is only a problem if we define it as such in our own mind and life. Take “stuck in traffic” for an example. Some people caught in Seattle traffic listen to music and smile and dream happy thoughts. Others smack the wheel in rage and hurl obscenities and skyrocket their blood pressure. It’s the same situation, the response is different.

One man’s misery is another man’s joy. My sister works in the field of accounting, and she loves it. It’s her passion. I did that work for awhile, and let me tell you, it was not my passion. It was mind dead boredom. I know a man who had his leg blown off in the war. He’s not vegetating in a wheelchair like others in his situation, he’s out and about helping design his own artificial running leg. He’s an athlete. And he runs.

Things stop us from achieving our goals only if we let them. The right mind set and the right set of driving emotions moves us forward. Here’s the great and relatively unknown aspect of all this. We control that mind set and set of driving emotions.

That control panel is called NLP. Neuro Linguistic Programming. We can control how we feel, think, and act. We can program (instruct) our minds to respond how it’s useful and appropriate to respond to move us forward towards our goals. Any goals. That’s NLP.

This control panel in our minds is sensory operated. It’s visual. It’s sound-based. It’s feeling based. And these things, pictures, sounds and feelings, lead us into behaviors and beliefs. People think of beliefs as solid things, tangible, like a rock. They’re not. They’re more fluid, like a flowing river. And we can change the direction of them at will. That’s NLP. It’s effective communication with our unconscious minds, that part of us which defines and determines our reality

This programming (instruct the mind) technique I’m sharing today is visual. I call it: Not that, This! It’s formal name is “The Visual Swish.” In this technique, we take the unconscious mind by the hand and show it clearly what we want. And what we don’t want.

When the unconscious mind understands what we want, it will take us there. A simple still image can convey an enormous amount of complex information and meaning. “A picture is worth a thousand words,” as they say. Looking at a picture, we absorb incredibly large amounts of data quickly.

Again, here’s the article:

https://mindworkshypnosis.net/hypnotizer/seattle-nlp-training-visual-swish-technique/

Not that feeling, this one. Not that belief, this one. Not that habit, this one. Not that body, this one.

Play with this visual technique. It’s a five minute process which could change your thinking and your actions, your outlook and your life.

I hope you enjoy your “Not That, This!” outcomes. There’s so much more to this control panel in our minds. If you’d ever like to learn how to run your mind and optimize your life, take our Seattle NLP Training courses. Michael and I are Licensed Trainers of NLP ® through the originator of NLP, and we offer certification courses here in the Seattle area.

All the Best,
Connie

Two for One: Self Confidence Issues & Performance Anxiety Removed in One Session

The Best Seattle hypnosis private sessions with Connie Brannan, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP
Find yours! Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP

Hi, Seattle area and beyond Hypnosis Friends!

Yay, for success!  Here’s another happy client testimonial.  Desirae Townsend, of Maple Valley, WA. had two main goals entering my office.  As she told me, she had “struggled since childhood with a fear of performance.”  She wanted to share her music, her joy with her family, friends, other musicians, and was unable to do so.  She also had this ridiculous embedded belief:  ‘I’m not good enough.”  As I told her, “that’s got to go!”  And so we did.

She had one two-hour Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy session with me last month at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.  We worked on those issues, and I also taught her self hypnosis as well.  She was kind enough to send me an update on her positive changes.  Here’s Desirae, sharing her excitement:

“Hi Connie,

I just wanted to give you an update on my progress post appointment for performance anxiety and self esteem.  About not feeling good enough… That has been totally reversed.  I never even think that anymore.  The cool part is that I used to get anxiety stepping into new situations by myself or sometimes even going to the store but now I don’t even question I, just step right in.  It’s been so awesome and I feel a huge sense of freedom!

Re: performance:  I have since had 3 guitar lessons and have had no trouble playing my guitar in front of my teacher or anyone else that I told you about. I’ve also used the self hypnosis tools you taught me numerous times since our session and they are working great as well.

Thank you so much!  You have changed my life!!  I’m so grateful to you!!!  I will always recommend your work!!  What you do to help people is so important and so powerful. Thank you again! I can’t say that enough.”  — Desirae Townsend, Maple Valley, WA.

Just a note on self hypnosis.  It’s a fantastic tool.  I offer it to clients.  Remember that old saying:  give a man a fish, he has dinner.  Teach him how to fish, and he has ability to feed himself for life.  Coming to my office is a nice, big salmon presented on a platter.  Self hypnosis is fishing!  I’m glad Desirae is using self hypnosis.

Find out more about what I do and how I can help you personally.  I offer private client sessions in my office in the beautiful Bellefield Office Park in Bellevue, WA.  I also offer a free in person consultation.  No obligation, and no cost.  Because, when people understand what this is, this transformational power of skilled NLP plus hypnotherapy, well, they jump on it!

Call me and we’ll set up a meeting.  I’m happy to do that!  My phone number is (425) 564-8608, and of course all my information is here:  http://www.mindworkshypnosis.net.

An Extra Piece of Chicken

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

I’ve added another article that I’ve written to our Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP website.  I invite you to check it out, and several other articles I’ve written and share there.  I explain some of the unique tools and processes I utilize in my work for greater client success levels. Because, as we all know, the proof of a service well done is in the pudding.  It’s in my client successes out in the world after going for it with me in my Bellevue hypnosis clinic.  Here’s the article:

Feel Great and Choose New Behaviors.Many years ago, when I worked as an Office Manager for a building services company, I had a great boss.  He taught me a lot about successful business including the concept:  “give them an extra piece of chicken.”  Give your clients more than they expect, give them something above and beyond the services they’ve contracted for.  In addition to office cleaning, he might offer to shampoo carpet for the suite, or have the exterior windows cleaned at no additional charge.

An extra piece of chicken.  I have built that idea into my Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy clinical work as well.  I give clients something extra, beyond what they came if for.  I give them a gift called:   self control.  Or, in other words, control of self.  Control of state of mind and body, control of your responses, control of your experience of LIFE!  I call it:  The keys to the Kingdom.

If you can control how you feel, you control how you will respond and interact in any given moment.  If you can control how you feel, you can control the very thoughts that run in your mind.  You begin to think differently about yourself!    You create new, empowered beliefs.  You move from an “I can’t” mentality to an empowered place called Choice.  Rather than a cork bobbing on the emotional life of the sea, you’re at the wheel, driving the powerboat on a course you set.  Full speed ahead!

And I give this power to clients to take home with them beyond our work in the office.  It’s called an “NLP Anchor.”  Using “Designer Feelings™” we create a desired state of mind and body and belief.  It’s unique for the person, purpose and goals at hand, whether it be as an antidote to anxiety, fear, laziness, smoking, overeating, distraction, etc.  We work to automate the changes inside the mind, so they become the automatic new feeling in the contexts under discussion, and the automatic new thinking and new behaviors.

AND we give ongoing self control, as our extra piece of chicken.

lightswitch onWhat is an anchor?  It’s a physiological stimulus-response we set up in the body/mind.  Think:  light switch.  On!  Activated, It quickly brings about the desired and designed feelings into the body.   How cool is that?  And you control this switch.  That mechanism  can be set up as a touch, or a phrase spoken, an image conjured in the mind, a gesture.  I’ve had clients call it “my calm button,” “my confidence trigger,” my “go for it,” a little girl called it “my happy magic finger trick.,”   It’s not magic, it’s one technique among many in NLP.  And it’s amazingly powerful to all who experience it.

Here’s an example:  a person might come in for hypnosis services to address stress eating.  We create the antidote to stress.  Perhaps it’s a feeling blended of calm, confident, and happy.   We automate new unconscious responses that replace stress and replace stress eating.  Goodbye, stress eating, and goodbye to overweight!  Goal met, happy client!

However, this new feeling, this NLP anchor, has a greater utility than just food.  Perhaps there are other times and places where calm, confident and happy might be useful to our hypothetical client.  Perhaps giving a presentation at work.  Great!  Perhaps for golf excellence.  Great!  With the anchor, a person has control.  And can initiate the good feelings, anytime, anywhere.  Power.  Almost every client that leaves my office is given a custom designed anchor and instructions in how to use and activate!

As I said:  the keys to the Kingdom.  This is beyond price.  Because these anchors last forever, with the proper use.  And I explain the proper use.

NLP done right, it’s beyond awesome.  What’s sad about NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming is that so few people understand what it truly is, and how to use it–including people who purport to offer it therapeutically, and even those who teach it.  NLP done poorly from a place of only partial understanding may still have some utility, but not much.

Perhaps it’s like the difference between a genuine diamond and a “faux diamonelle.”   There’s high quality “real deal” product and there’s cheaper, inferior, imitation product.  I offer the real deal, as a Licensed Trainer of NLP® through the Society of NLP® — I’m taught and certifed by the originator of NLP, Dr. Richard Bandler.

Feeling is believing, and we’ve developed and trademarked the ultimate great “Designer Feelings™ process.” Designer Feelings™ are available only at our hypnosis clinic, Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP.  They activate automatically in the contexts desired, and are forevermore available to you as a source of self control.  Call us at (425) 564-8608 and find out more anytime!

All the Best,
Connie

Society of Neuro Linguistic ProgrammingHi, Hypnosis Friends!

I consider myself one lucky person, because I get to pursue my passion–which is hypnosis and a high-tech hypnosis called NLP.  NLP has been aptly described as “The Art & Science of Excellence.”  Yes!

It’s Time! Hypnosis for your New Year’s Resolutions!

Seattle's Best Hypnotherapy at Mindworks Hypnosis & NLP
Time for Skilled Hypnosis & NLP!

Hi, Hypnosis Friends!

Did you see the New Year’s fireworks celebration at the Seattle Space Needle?  I did!  It’s officially here, happy 2015!

“It’s time!”

Those are action activating words for me, and I hope for you as well. It’s time.

It’s the first week of January.  Time for assessing the new year ahead and taking stock of healthy goals. It’s time to lose that extra weight you’ve been carrying around.  It’s time to stop buying and smoking those ridiculously expensive and unhealthy cigarettes.

It’s time to dump the fear that’s been holding you back from truly experiencing and enjoying life and connecting with others:  fear of public speaking, fear of flying, fear of rejection…(you fill in the blank).  Fear is often unnecessary, and we can communicate that fact to the mind, on unconscious levels, and choose something different.

People tend to work those New Year’s Resolutions for a a day or two, a week or two, then give up.  You don’t have to go it alone when there is skilled help available.

I love what I do.  I help activate people’s desires and make them real.  My work (hypnosis and NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming® ) is a joy-maker and a success-maker.  This time of year, people are very in touch with those desires–we call them New Year’s Resolutions.  Let’s make them real.  Call me and I’ll set up a free in person consultation in my office in Bellevue to explain the work I do and how your dreams CAN become reality.  (425) 564-8608.

Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy is more powerful than “traditional” hypnotherapy alone. NLP is a conversational hypnosis that speaks directly to the mind beyond conscious thought, using the currency of life experience:  sights, sounds, smells, taste, emotion, and it’s an amazing success accelerant.  NLP is my prime work tool, as I am and Michael is also, a Licensed Trainer of NLP ® through the originator of NLP. There are only a few dozen of us at that skill & certification level working and teaching NLP in the United States.

Tick.  Tick.  Tick.  Time is moving.  And life is happening.  If you want yours to be different in positive ways that you have resolved, the time is now.

All the Best,
Connie

What is NLP? It’s “Hypnosis on Steroids!”

Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro Linguistic Programming

Hi, Hypnosis Friends & Enthusiasts!

People come to my Bellevue hypnosis office because they want something different.  Something different to do, or something different NOT to do.  To get over negative emotions, to create a desired outcome, success, of all varieties.   NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, is my number one go-to tool to help.

After I explain hypnosis and hypnotherapy, I’m often asked:  “What IS NLP?”  Here’s a video where I explain:

As I say in the description of this video on my Youtube channel: “This methodology and mindset helps us take control of our experience of life! How we feel, how we think, what we DO…it’s all movable furniture and we, each of us, is the movin’ man! We can get the life we want.”

A hypnotherapy session in my office is really two sessions in one, in that it also includes a full NLP session as well as traditional hypnosis.  I call what I do “Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy™.”  What I do is very different from other therapies and even from other hypnotherapists.  🙂  The approach is different from other therapies in that it is one of empowerment.  NLP is my favorite thing, as well as my expertise. It’s the difference which makes the difference.

What is NLP?  Another tool for unconscious communication.  It’s been called “hypnosis on steroids.”  That’s because it works so amazingly well and fast when the practitioner is skilled and creative.  I am a Licensed Trainer of NLP ® through the Society of NLP ™ which is a source of great pride for me.  There are only a few dozen such trainers in the entirety of the US, licensed through Dr. Richard Bandler, the co-originator of NLP.  My husband, Michael,  (also one of those Licensed Trainers of NLP ® ) and I operate a Licensed Private Career School here in Washington State, Mindworks NLP, and we teach and offer NLP certifications.  NLP is cool.  NLP is fun.  NLP is amazing.  My students get so excited by it that they have been known to start chanting in class:  “NLP!  NLP!  NLP!”

It’s actually pretty rare that a Licensed Trainer ® is also doing one on one client work as well as teaching groups.  I see private clients because this is my passion and my fun.  You can learn more here, anytime, at my client website, and here, my school website. I do hope you will discover the power of NLP at some point in your life. It’s worth knowing.

All the Best,
Connie

Sounds Good – NLP for Personal Change

 

Adjusting Sounds with NLP

Hi, Seattle Area Hypnosis Friends!

Here is an article I’ve written about the power of the mind and the power of NLP to make positive changes in life.  I use these same amazingly successful techniques involving sound to guide clients to personal change in my Bellevue NLP and hypnotherapy clinic.

The topic is sound…music, speech, how the soundtrack of our lives influences our emotional states.  And how WE can enhance this and alter this influence for our own well-being.  We can do all sorts of things, for example release negative emotions, create motivation, move us forward in our desires.  By “tinkering” with sound in our minds!

Music moves us, elevates us, stirs our emotions, in the direction of any emotion you can name.  Think of a march by John Phillip Sousa, or how any stirring anthem activates our feelings of patriotism.  Think how a quiet, beautiful orchestral piece of music calms and relaxes.  Think of a horror movie soundtrack, full of tension and suspense.  Sound is a huge part of our experience of our lives and key to our memories and emotional states.  Imagine a love movie with no soundtrack–would it have the same emotional impact?  No!

By altering the sounds we play in our minds in simple ways, we can experience life differently, more positively, and here are a few easy ideas to do so:

That's RidiculousWe’ve all had arguments, with a coworker, with a spouse, with a friend, and sometimes they “eat” at us.  We play them over and over in our minds, and churn up even more negative emotions like anger and irritation.  Here’s something to do:  as you think about that argument, create a new soundtrack.  Let the voices fade and cue in the circus music.  Clown music.  Carnival music.  Play that for awhile as the argument runs in your mind, and let it transform your experience of the argument.  Done?  Great!  Now, think about it.  That argument seems kind of silly, doesn’t it?  Less power.  Less force to disturb.  And that’s a GOOD thing.

Here’s another use for improving your life with sound.  You want to get to the gym, you know you need to exercise.  You want to exercise, but somehow…you just aren’t doing it.  Here’s what gets me going, and pumps up my motivation.  The Rocky Theme.  You know the one, where he’s running up the steps in Philadelphia:  “getting strong now, gonna fly now…”  Play that music in your mind when you want a lift of success and motivation.  The resultant emotion will propel you out the door and to the gym.  Or insert any other inspirational music which speaks to you.  Movies are a great source to reference, because we all know them.  You can pump up your confidence as well with music such as Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Superman.

Here’s another wonderful use of this:  play with sound to combat what we call “negative self talk.”  That’s the little critical voice in your mind always telling you what you can’t accomplish, and spraying you with curses:  “You’re lazy!,” “You’re stupid!,” “You’ll never get it done!” and so on.  Imagine that voice to be a different voice, a silly voice, a cartoon voice.  Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Elmer Fudd, something ridiculous.  Hear the same words in that new, ridiculous, cartoon voice.  Maybe it’s a squeaky, high pitched cartoon voice.  “You’re lazy!”  The impact on you is different, isn’t it?  Now it’s absurd, and not to be taken seriously.  The voice is a joke!

The secret here, we can choose how we feel.  Play with these simple techniques above involving sound to feel good now!
