Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive Therapy is based on exploring the way clients feel and believe about life and themselves and how those feelings can produce stress, anxiety, or fear if they are negative. Through talk therapy, clients examine their thought processes and learn to identify distorted or irrational thinking. Through client's use of exposure and desensitization in a deeply relaxed environment, they can change their thoughts and emotions to more positive ones. Often, the client is asked to keep a journal to track their stress, thoughts, actions, and anxiety and depression levels to more easily identify their issues.

We use hypnotherapy as the bridge to reach our subconscious mind, where all our beliefs, both positive and negative, decide how we think, feel, and behave. As you change unhealthy beliefs, you can change negative patterns and behaviors easily.

Medical Hypnotherapy

In Medical Hypnotherapy, imagery affects the body intensely and on deep levels and helps in diagnosis, pain, illness, procedures, and recovery. Mental techniques are customized to your individual needs and circumstances. Feeling more in control of your thoughts, mental images, and self-talk reduces the feeling of anxiety and worry. It has been shown to improve outcomes in most areas, especially in surgery preparation, pain management, chemotherapy and radiation, and medical procedures.

Mindfulness

Stress, anxiety, grief, negative self-talk, and the feeling of powerlessness create most of the illness and paralysis in our lives and keep our environments scattered and unhealthy. When we learn how to identify and ground our energy, emotions, and fear with powerful tools such as breathing techniques, HeartMath, bio-feedback, meditation, EMDR and EFT, we take charge of our lives and find solutions, becoming responsive to our issues rather than reactive. Quieting the mind and becoming aware of our inner environment and its influence on our daily lives assists us in finding the truths, purposes, and

What Is EMDR?

June has worked with EMDR since its inception and has seen very positive results in removing trauma. EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing uses side to side eye movements, tactile stimulation, and/or sound to view and release emotional experiences that have been trapped in the nervous system by trauma. Unprocessed at the time of the event, traumatic memories are held in the body and can keep a person emotionally blocked, fearful or anxious for years. Clients who have experienced traumas can use EMDR to release them and experience emotional distance from the memory. When that is done, they can begin living in the present instead of the past. It is very helpful in working with anxiety, panic attacks, and changing personal negative core beliefs that cause distress.

What Is EFT?

As a practitioner of EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques – Energy therapy, June has seen effective and rapid emotional healing. It is being used by psychotherapists, psychiatrists, counselors, and therapists of all types. Clients can use it at home once they have learned the process. It is based on Chinese meridian energy medicine and is similar to emotional acupuncture without needles. EFT is used to remove negative emotions, non-serving beliefs, and many physical pains. It can be used anywhere by the client once she has learned the points to be touched, as the tools are always available.

The theory is that all negative emotions result from an imbalance in the body's energy system. When used, the client feels a sense of calm and peace, and to get to the bottom of the issue and remove it altogether, you work with the therapist to get to the underlying reasons for the issue. EFT requires tapping on various points of the meridian system and takes only a few minutes to do.
