What is a session like? – A session is usually about 1.5 – 2 hours long and is a conversational format with a short break in the middle. In the session we discover exactly what your brain and neurological System is actually responding to and what your brain is doing on the inside that is producing the unwanted experience you are having.
You will then be gently guided in using your imagination to make specific learning happen between your right and left brains. It’s all fun and easy.
How do I prepare for a session? – Preparing for a session is easy, with just a few requests. Make sure you are able to spend the session in a quiet place where you can sit – but not lie down – without being interrupted.
Make sure you are comfortable and make sure you eat before hand or have a healthy snack and some water or tea. Working on this level, our brain and body use a tremendous amount of energy making so many neuronal connections.
If a person is using alcohol or street drugs, we ask that you refrain from taking them and are sober and alert for at least a day before and a day after.
If you are taking any prescription drugs on doctor’s orders, continue to take them as prescribed. If any of your medications are opiods or impair your ability to focus, discuss with your doctor if it’s ok to skip a dose or appropriately change the dose in a way that will help you focus during our session.
What should I expect after a session? – The first thing you will notice at the end of your session is usually a feeling of calm and relief. The most commonly reported response to a session is that you will have one of the best night’s sleep that you’ve had in a long time. Your dreams can be both revealing and healing as your brain adjusts to the reduced levels of stress hormones in your body and the great updates of learning.
Clients frequently report that they feel several days of wonder at how different things seem and they get a chance to see and feel the world differently. It often ‘just feels different’ and your neurological System is learning why.
Our brains keep on learning and making more sense of what really happened in our past with each day after your session. Client’s report continuing to have deep new insights from even one session.
Do you do couple’s counseling sessions? – Yes, we do. It’s a slightly different format where we start with the two people in the first session, then do a minimum of two sessions apiece separately before doing a follow up session with both people. This allows for a tremendous amount of personal growth and expansion within the relationship and removing blocks for each person individually.
Do you do live, in person sessions? – With clients on four continents and many time zones, we do almost all of our sessions over the telephone or occasionally Skype. You need not be in the same room to be able to receive maximum benefits from the session. We do occasionally make in person appointments for clients in the San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles area on a pre-arranged basis only.
