Question 9

How Does PSYCH-K Work?

Accepted Answer

PSYCH-K uses a unique blend of tools derived from contemporary neuroscience research and ancient mind/body wisdom to facilitate change at the subconscious level, where 95% of our consciousness operates. As a certified practitioner, together we will identify the limiting beliefs that are holding you back and create new, empowering beliefs to replace them. Using a process called a 'Balance,' I will guide you into a 'Whole-Brain State,' where both hemispheres of your brain are in simultaneous communication. This state is optimal for reprogramming your subconscious mind and allows new beliefs to take root quickly and easily. The process involves speech, movement and thought, some balances require eyes open and others, eyes closed.

A session lasts 60 minutes, however I always allow 90 minutes for the first session.

Accepted Answer

Most clients experience significant shifts after just one session, with many noticing profound changes during the session itself. The total number of sessions you'll need depends entirely on your personal goals and what you'd like to transform. For comprehensive results, I typically recommend a course of 5-6 sessions. What makes my approach unique is how I blend PSYCH-K techniques with Cognitive Hypnotherapy and NLP, providing you with a different hypnotherapy MP3 recording after each session to reinforce your progress at home.

Question 12

What does PSYCH-K stand for?

Accepted Answer

The word PSYCH-K is made of two parts - the first part is an abbreviation of the word Psyche, and the K stands for the Key to sustainable change. With over 35 years of proven success, PSYCH-K has helped countless individuals around the world transform their lives and achieve their dreams.
