James Dean, Hypnotist

NGH Board Certified Hypnotist (BCH)

Hello! Hypnosis, considering what it can do to help people, is marvelous. I am Board Certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists which represents a level of training and experience above and beyond NGH Certified Consulting Hypnotist. As a skilled hypnotist I can help you make positive changes that you desire in your life. I have a lifelong interest in the mind, meditation, and hypnosis, and I'd like you to know, that your experience, your happiness, your skills, and your ability to make positive changes, all reside in your mind. Using hypnosis we can work together effectively and enjoyably to create positive change.

As a student and teacher of meditation and Buddhist philosophy for over 20 years, I combine those insights with the ideas and techniques coming from the study and practice of hypnosis. In addition to extensive self study, including much of the voluminous writings of the famous Milton H. Erickson, I have been trained by the Omni Hypnosis Training Center. You can read more about me here.

The Wonderful Resources of Your Mind

Your mind has wonderful resources - many and marvelous resources - that can be enlisted to help you accomplish the changes you want. Well, you may ask, if it has all these marvelous resources, why do I still have my problem? Because running any life is an enormously complex endeavor, let alone a human life!

Hypnotists Help Everyday Ordinary People, With Everyday Ordinary Problems

Everyone has within them, amazing energy and joy and capabilities. But it is usually covered over and hidden somehow. Hypnosis can help you make all sorts of positive changes. And every positive change brings you closer and closer to that core energy and joy. As we like to say at the NGH: "Hypnotists help everyday ordinary people with everyday ordinary problems". Everyone has quirks of mind that cause them a broad range of difficulties.

Incredibly Interesting, and Beautiful

Most people look similar on the outside. Two arms, and two legs, and so on, with some exceptions. And there are things in common with people's minds. Everyone has a core energy that is strong, and bright and beautiful, and good. And there is some broad similarity in the types of emotions that people have, depending on circumstances. These things are 'human nature'.

And there is another side to 'human nature', a level up from that core. People have a natural selfishness that evolved for survival reasons. And people's emotions can take on infinite combinations, infinite configurations, depending on circumstances, with the result that every person has a unique combination of good and bad qualities. Nobody is perfect. But everyone has that core beauty that is always there, ready to shine through when some of the problems can be worked out. And the mind always has this tendancy in the positive direction, though the many and varied forces in the mind can be very strong.

But beyond this, there is an amazing, astonishing individuality to people that becomes evident when you work with hypnosis. For example the 'hypnotic phenomena' that people experience are very individual, like fingerprints, even though they have patterns in common, just as fingerprints do. And the workings of the unconscious mind have this same amazing, astonishing individuality in its many details, yet at the same time there is some sort of common language of the unconscious that is shared among individuals. For example, some people have discussed themes and archetypes that people share. And in it has been observed that people in the trance state can often be better at interpreting communications from another person's subconscious mind, than even that other person's conscious mind!
