Nita Dalton's work focuses primarily on Hypnotherapy. Other methodologies, such as energy medicine and Reiki, may be used as appropriate based on the needs of individual clients.
Hypnotherapy uses a relaxed state of consciousness to access the subconscious mind and transmute negative thought patterns and habits of mind to more positive alternatives. Many hypnotherapists do this via direct suggestion into the subconscious. Nita is more collaborative. She communicates with the client’s subconscious to explore personally relevant solutions. Subsequent suggestions then enhance and reinforce solutions that emerged from the client’s own creative intelligence. Such solutions are more sustainable than ideas coming solely from the therapist.
Hypnotherapy also includes instructions for meditation and self-hypnosis to sustain change after the formal sessions have concluded. In this way, hypnotherapy facilitates rapid, yet sustainable, change for the client.
Hypnotherapy with Nita is often experienced in open-eye trance. You will feel very relaxed while conversing pleasantly. Strong emotions may periodically emerge in the form of an abreaction (basically reliving the emotional context of a past traumatic event), but that is a normal part of the process and Nita will guide you safely thru it.
You may or may not experience formal trance. Many people go in and out of hypnotic trance without realizing it. But you are always safe. No hypnotist can make you do or believe anything that contradicts your core ethics or morals. If at any time you feel uncomfortable, just open your eyes to break out of the trance.
The experience of hypnotic trance is unique to every individual. Common phenomena include 1) a sensation of being in two places at once (in the therapist’s chair but also somewhere else in your mind’s eye), 2) exaggerated senses (seeing, hearing, smelling with great acuity), 3) expanded memory (a capacity for details not available to the conscious mind), 4) adopting a relevant affect (such as speaking like a child during a regression), 5) regression (returning to an earlier time in your life, experiencing it fully and completely).
You may find yourself having a conversation with non-present persons. You may speak in a tone or language that surprises you. And perhaps most surprising, it feels normal when you are there (wherever ‘there’ is).
