Below are some of the common areas of therapy addressed by Brandi, at Inner Worx (the therapy is not limited to the examples below as many other areas have been successfully addressed).

The following are guidelines only.

For smoking cessation, for most clients, three sessions are recommended (even if the client believes after the first session they will NEVER smoke again). Three sessions seems to be the number of sessions that are required for most.  

For sleep concerns and disorders, most people experience improvements after only two or three sessions; these improvements are usually deeper sleep and/or continuous hours of sleep. Clients that have not slept well for a prolonged period of time often have to be reminded that a “good sleep” three or four nights a week is not the goal.  It is natural and normal and within the realm of improvement to sleep well each night of the week.

With clients desiring weight loss, issues such as: portion sizes, cravings, eating times, binging, grazing, mindless eating etcetera are all addressed.  There are usually noticeable improvements after only two or three sessions in a variety of the areas being addressed. 

Please be aware that the goal is not just loosing weight or attaining a certain size as most people have experienced some success, in the past, in these areas.  It is not about deprivation (which is unnecessary) nor is it about will power (which is only a willingness to do something).

The goal is to create a sustainable and lasting expression of health and strength.

The success of the sessions focused on exercise motivation is often  experienced after only one session. However, sustaining the motivation often takes at least five or six sessions.  A variety of goals are usually addressed, during the sessions, such as the number of times per week wanted to exercise or consistently reaching a desired intensity level during exercise. (Exercise motivation is covered in the weight loss sessions)

The clients that come in for depression often experience a shift in perspective after the first or second session. However, the shift needed to transcend out of and beyond depression requires more sessions. For most people hypnotherapy is a very effective tool to alleviate depression.  

The clients suffering with anxiety or those having trouble dealing with stress often complain of headaches or neck discomfort (due to tension). The headaches and neck tension usually subside after the first session.  Additional sessions are recommended in order to be able to efficiently and effectively address life’s ups and downs or be productive with stress.
