• Participants must be between the ages of 18-65 and have an emotional issue that they wish to release, i.e. childhood issues, fears, phobias, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, etc.

• All sessions will be with Katherine Zimmerman, CCHT, PhD, in practice since 1989.

Benefits to participants

• Release emotional baggage painlessly.

• Save money: a 60 minute session is normally $125. Study participants pay only $60.

• Enjoy stress reduction, which is a side benefit of experiencing hypnosis.

What you will experience in your session

You will be guided into a state of hypnosis and hear a story, then be re-alerted to your normal state of awareness. Although you are able to speak and respond during a hypnotherapy session, for this study you can simply relax and listen.

You will remember everything that you experience unless your conscious mind drifts off. Your subconscious mind continues to record everything and act upon the imagery. Fifteen minutes of hypnosis equals an hour of deep, restful sleep so you will feel rested and refreshed from your session and easily able to function normally and drive yourself home.
