Please note, what we do is “Hypnotherapy”, as opposed to "simple Hypnosis” (we in fact do both, each session). In hypnosis, we give you “suggestions” which are then followed by the subconscious; for instance, if we were to tell you, “You will stop eating chocolate, and instead, will have a great desire to drink a glass of water every time you get the urge to eat chocolate,” your unconscious would tend to follow those directions.

However, we here at SEE Hypnosis are going to go much deeper, and resolve the emotional reason the unconscious has for eating chocolate in the first place. This process takes at least 4 sessions. This is a thorough process (Five 2-hour sessions, and homework everyday) … but it is worth it, if you really want to change.

After each session, there is a debrief.

We do debriefs every session, twice. Once before we end the hypnosis, where we go over each of the issues addressed, and the second time, immediately after the session.

What happens sometimes is that a LOT of issues come up, and you have to process them. That takes time. The hypnotherapist can summarize each of these issues, and answer questions, but if the client does not have any (which is usual, as they feel like they have tried to drink out of a fire-hose), they leave and try to go about their day … only to have questions pop up.

That is normal and should be expected!

Each person will experience something different in each session.

What we do is guide you to you. You are the world’s expert on you! But after a session, if you are overwhelmed and perhaps even stunned by what you learned, you may not be able to come up with a question. You have to process everything before you can.

It Takes Time to process!

Please be patient with yourself.

When the questions come, we are here. You just simply email us, and we will help as much as we can. Or you can write down the questions, and ask at your next session.

Emailing us with questions is part of your Hypnotherapy! If you have a question, ask it! You are not bothering us, it’s part of your package! We want you to contact us with all of your questions!!!

So, write them down, so you don’t forget them and then ask us!

The difference between a hypnotherapist and a therapist or counselor:

Hypnotherapists cannot diagnose mental disorders.

In addition, we are experts on guiding the client to themselves. We do not have checklists for what is healthy or unhealthy as therapists do.

What we do is guide a client to find their own insights about themselves; but we cannot know what is important to you. Discovering yourself is ultimately up to you. We can lead you to what your Unconscious feels it wants to work on. Don’t worry, most of the time it will be very clear to you why your unconscious led you to this issue.

Imagine you are a famous archaeologist looking for an ancient temple. You hire a local to guide you to the temple’s location, but it’s up to you to figure out what all the symbols mean. The guide got you there safely. It’s up to you to figure out the hidden secrets!

Sometimes the hypnotherapist will try to summarize or point out potential insights, but these are only educated guesses, which is why we will always ask, “Does this sound right to you?” It is very important that you say “No,” if you do not in fact feel our idea holds merit. It won't hurt our feelings, as we are there to help you find the truth for yourself!

Comfort and being uncomfortable:

We do everything we can to make clients feel comfortable. If something we do makes you uncomfortable, please tell us. This is a super intense process. We need our clients to feel as safe and comfortable as possible!

Remember: This is a highly emotional situation — for both of us! We can get through it if we are honest, and we both advocate for you!

Client Bill of Rights (Please Read prior to your first session):

Contact Information: Your hypnotist can be contacted via e-mail at info@seehypnosis.com and you can always message us at 360-349-8306.

In addition to the SEE Hypnosis Client Bill of Rights, please see the State of Washington’s “What to know before you go,” hypnotist pamphlet.

Education & Training: The hypnotists working at SEE Hypnosis are Certified in hypnosis by the National Guild of Hypnotists and Cascade Hypnosis Training Center. In addition, we have further Training in Pain Management Hypnosis. Training has been extensive and includes but is not limited to certifications in Regression, Progression, Parts Hypnotherapy and additional studies. In addition, we commit to an additional 100 hours of generalized training and a minimum of 25 hours of specialty training per year.

Under Washington state law a hypnotist may not provide a medical diagnosis or recommend discontinuance of medically prescribed treatments. If a client desires a diagnosis or any other type of treatment from a different practitioner, the client may seek such services at any time (NOTE: this is highly encouraged!). In the event our services are terminated by a client, the client has a right to coordinate transfer of services to another practitioner. A client has a right to refuse hypnosis services at any time. A client has a right to be free of physical, verbal or sexual abuse. A client has a right to know the expected duration of treatment and may assert any right without retaliation.” Redress: We are Certified members of the National Guild of Hypnotists and practice in accordance with its Code of Ethics and Standards. If you have a complaint about our services or behavior that we cannot resolve for you personally, you may contact the National Guild of Hypnotists at P.O. Box 308, Merrimack, NH 03054, (603) 429-9438, or The American Hypnosis Association at 18607 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 310 Tarzana, CA 91356, 800-479-9464 to seek redress.

Fees: The charge for our services is $239.60 per session, as a package of 5 (or 6 in cases of substance abuse). We do not offer one-time hypnosis, as this has been shown to be ineffective. Single sessions can be purchased only in addition to the 5-PATH package. The majority of issues can be addressed in five sessions (addiction issues require six (6) sessions).

NOTE: some clients and/or issues require more sessions, and this will be discussed with the client as soon as the Hypnotist recognizes this necessity — additional services are not required, but if we have to repeat any session, it will leave an entire section of the 5-PATH process unaddressed, which is not recommended.

A 4% Credit Card convenience fee will be applied to all credit card purchases.

If you pay for all five 5-Path Sessions all at once, you can get $100 off of your total Package Price. If you decide to pay at the initial consultation, you will receive $100 off. (NOTE: You can get both the “all at once” payment and the “initial consultation” discount together!)

Cashiers checks and cash are also accepted. We do not accept personal checks. We apologize for this necessity.

Due to session length, we can only see 2-3 clients per day. One weeks notice to cancel or change an appointment is required. Failure to provide notice will result in a charge of 100% of the session fee.

Confidentiality: We will not release any information to anyone without a written authorization from you, except as provided for by law. You have a right to be allowed access to our written records about you. Every session is video recorded for both quality assurance and security. This video will never be shared with anyone, and is only used for quality assurance and as protection for both the client and Hypnotist.

Insurance: In general, insurance companies are not open to covering hypnotic services, and we caution you not to expect them to do so.

Our Approach: We sincerely believe that we all harness incredible untapped power within our minds. We are not medical or psychological professionals and as a result do not work with physical or mental disease without a referral from a licensed medical or psychological professional. However, if you have a diagnosis, we can work with your provider to augment their treatments. If you do not have a diagnosed mental or physical illness, we can work on specific issues with the expectation that we will not diagnose a medical or mental issue, but will work on “normal, every day issues”, e.g., we don’t work with Anxiety (unless we coordinate with your provider), we work with fear; we don’t work with depression, we work with feelings of hopelessness or being overwhelmed. These distinctions are important, as we cannot diagnose “depression” or “anxiety” or any other medical/mental illness, as we are not Psychologists, Therapists, Practitioners, or Physicians — therefore we don’t diagnose, and thus cannot “know” a client’s problem is, for example, “anxiety”.

From time to time, the Hypnotist will use the term “Anxiety” or “Depression”; these terms are meant in the “general understanding” of these feelings, and do not constitute a diagnosis — they simply refer to feelings as understood by the general public.

At this time we cannot work with children under the age of 18, as this requires additional certifications.

Our Commitment to You: We stand in an active role of solidarity with people with marginalized identities. We are committed to antiracism, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, anti-ableism, and anti-fat bias. Everyone comes from different walks of life, and we consider this a strength, not a weakness. Our offices employ staff who promote a positive and inclusive environment for all clients. All are welcomed, respected, and valued here.

Lastly, hypnosis is a very powerful process that has helped millions of Americans to make the kinds of changes that they want to make in their lives. However, hypnosis is not mind control. For example, no one, not even the very best hypnotist, could make you lose weight, or stop smoking if you really don’t want to. Nor could he or she accurately predict how many sessions it will take. Most people (but not everyone) begin to experience the benefits from the very first session and most people are done in five to six sessions. Ultimately, you are responsible for the changes that occur as a result of the hypnosis sessions.

This is both “good” and “bad”. It is “good” because, after you have made the changes that you want from hypnosis, you deserve a great deal of the credit, and this knowledge helps you to make more changes in your life. But, on the other hand, it is bad because I cannot guarantee that the changes will come about. In fact, this is true in any situation where a professional is trying to help you. There is always a human factor. Doctors don’t guarantee that you will get well. Teachers can’t guarantee that you will learn, and lawyers can’t guarantee that you will “win” you case. What I can guarantee, here at SEE Hypnosis, is the very best service, having current information and appropriate hypnotic techniques for your situation.
