Regarding hypnosis, my approach is fundamentally different from most hypnotists. I specialize in emotional reconnection.
After years of practical experience, I've come to realize that when there is a gap between what you consciously want and how you actually behave, it often means that an unconscious force is
pulling you in the opposite direction.
The part of your brain that moves you is the emotional part. Hence the word e-motion, like motion, moving.
When an emotion is unconsciously repressed, it can push you without you realizing it.
I help you reconnect with that hidden emotional energy so it can work for you, not against you. Harness the power of that emotion in a healthy way.
The key is not to fight the unconscious, but to befriend it — to reconnect with the emotion that has been buried.
For example, when a client comes to me with repressed anger — perhaps because their boundaries were not respected as a child — my role is to validate that anger. In such a case, anger is not a problem to suppress or release, it is a legitimate response. The real work is to recognize its validity and to harness its energy in a healthy way. When a client can look back and say, “Yes, I feel anger, and I am at ease with it”, that emotion stops being a weight. It becomes fuel. That energy can then serve them in the present — for instance, by giving them the strength to defend their boundaries with clarity and confidence.
I came to this approach through both experience as hypnotherapist and my former work as a physician. Over the years, I have seen how profoundly psychology and health are intertwined. That
perspective shaped the way I practice today: addressing the emotional roots that can either undermine or support a person’s well-being.
In other words, as a hypnotist I know how to enter hypnosis (dissociation) and how to get out (re-association). When you have a repressed emotion (dissociation, self hypnosis) you can learn how
to reconnect with this emotion. Surprisingly, the healing part of hypnotherapy is the last part of the session, when you get out of hypnosis, when you re-associate.
As a former physician, I also specialize in caring for people with psychosomatic illnesses: that is, illnesses affecting the body, which can worsen or improve for psychological reasons. This is
the case, for example, of a physical injury generating chronic pain, which worsens when morale is down.
If you feel concerned by this type of problem, I am available in addition to your medical care.
My activity covers varied consultation grounds, which you can find here
I therefore invite everyone, even in good physical and moral health, to take an interest in hypnosis in order to flourish. Hypnosis is not just for healing, it is also a very powerful
developmental tool.
Following a family opportunity, I decided to embark on the adventure of expatriation in Detroit, Michigan and to stop all medical activity to devote myself exclusively to hypnosis. If you want to solve a problem, improve your quality of life or make a dream come true, I would be happy to assist you.
I am at your disposal if you'd like more details on my background. You can also contact me if you have questions about whether hypnosis is relevant to your goal.
