Clare Taylor, C.Ht

We sent a tester to try out hypnosis.

Our tester reports:

"Inside Clare Taylor's light-drenched office, I jot down some goals in cursive so that she can evaluate my handwriting, as well. She explains that hypnosis works by adding suggestions to the subconscious mind that remain as 'evidence' for the brain to use later when evaluating a situation. For example, since I crave sugar, Taylor says that perhaps I'm stressed...and that comfort eating is my response. Therefore, she plans to suggest alternative methods of coping with stress while I'm extremely relaxed under hypnosis, and therefore more likely to respond with her suggested technique of stress management in the future.

She dims the lights, asks me to get in the comfy 'zero gravity' chair and put on cushy earphones while she sets up her computer and microphone. As I close my eyes, her New Zealand accent and an airy, peaceful melody echoes in my ears. Suggesting images of bright, healing lights and positive messages, Taylor takes me through a journey where I'm constantly aware, yet completely relaxed.

I finish the session craving salad, which I take as a good sign.

Since it's been several days since our session, I can report that I haven't craved chocolate and have been strangely productive."
