Amy Fredericks is a Licensed Masters level Social Worker and a Certified Medical Support Clinical Hypnotherapist with over 20 years of medical social work experience. At Hypnosis for a Change, Amy Fredericks, LMSW, CMS-CHT teaches you how to harness the power of your mind for creating positive change in your life through the use of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural, yet altered, state of mind where the critical thinking part of the mind is relaxed and selective thinking, or focused concentration, is maintained. This allows us to program our minds to be happier, healthier, and prosperous. Hypnosis is scientifically proven to be a powerful, effective therapeutic technique for improving the quality of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and is a skill that improves with practice. While you are in hypnosis Amy utilizes the power of positive suggestions created specifically for you to help you achieve your goal or address an issue. Different "protocols" are used in this process of reeducating the mind at the mental/emotional levels for the purposes of setting and achieving goals, solving problems, cultivating self-awareness, changing negative patterns, emotional growth and behavioral changes.
