Welcome

Claire de la Varre My name is Claire de la Varre and I am a consulting hypnotist with a private practice in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Hypnosis is a state of focused relaxation during which the client becomes particularly responsive to suggestions.

Two-Day Workshop: March 20th and 27th, 2010
with Claire de la Varre, MS, CH, and Peter Metzner, MA, MPA, CLC

Many of us are disconnected from spirit, purpose, meaning and nature. Often our relationships are conflicted and in our busy lives we feel a sense that something is missing. We repeat patterns in our lives and relive similar frustrations over and over again. This two-day experiential workshop is for those who seek deeper and more fulfilling relationships, self awareness, more conscious and empowering living, and an understanding of the messages that our subconscious minds convey. This life-affirming workshop weaves together multiple ways of knowing ourselves though the use of hypnosis, tarot, art, dreamwork, and trust exercises with horses. We will start with what we believe about our own birth, and will follow the ripples outwards and inwards from there. Please join us!

During light hypnosis, the brain is emitting alpha waves, similar to a state of daydreaming or being absorbed in an enjoyable, creative activity. In deeper hypnosis, the brain is emitting theta waves, similar to a state of meditation or when an athlete is "in the zone." Hypnosis has been officially recognized by the American Medical Association since 1958.

Hypnosis can be used for many different issues and works best if you are willing and ready to make changes. Your first session will last approximately 90 minutes and includes an interview to determine how and why you want to change, and the best tools to help you do just that. After the intake interview, we will proceed with the hypnosis portion of your session. This should be a comfortable, pleasant and relaxing experience for you. All hypnosis is a form of self-hypnosis, so as part of your session you will learn how to practice self-hypnosis at home. The more you practice, the more quickly and deeply you will go into hypnosis at your next session. Subsequent sessions will last one hour.

While some issues, for some clients, can be resolved very quickly, it is recommended that you sign up for a 4-session package. The first three sessions should ideally be spaced one week apart, with the fourth session a follow-up, at an interval of 3 or 4 weeks after the third session. The package includes a personalized CD, made just for you, so you can practice self-hypnosis at home.

Client privacy is paramount. You will receive, read and sign a Client Bill of Rights during your first session. Your information will not be shared with anyone without your written permission except if I am required by law to do so, or if not doing so would result in harm to either you or someone else.
