 Is Hypnosis Safe?  Yes.  Hypnosis is a safe process.

Is there any possibility of harm to me?  Anything that could hurt you in normal waking state could hurt you in trance state.  Working with an ethical hypnotist who is trained in giving well formed suggestions will provide you with a safe experience.  

Will I remember?  You are always aware at some level, and some people enter such a deep state that their memories of the experience fade quickly upon completing the trance state.  Sometimes the issues worked on are satisfied so thoroughly that your conscious mind doesn't need to pay attention to it anymore, which may cause you to consciously file away the experience as complete, a simple reason you may forget things about the session.  For those who remember to forget, it may be that there is something that they are not yet feeling strong enough to deal with.  Most people remember some or all of the session.   

Can I get stuck in hypnosis?  No.  You can't get stuck in hypnosis anymore than you can get stuck in sleep.

Can you make me do things I normally wouldn't do?  No.  Since you are always aware at some level, it is impossible to make you do something against your personal, moral, or religious beliefs.  

Can you make me do things that other people want me to do?  No.  You have to want the goals you set for yourself.  

Will I tell you secrets i don't want known?  Absolutely not.  People can withhold information and lie in hypnosis just as freely as they can in their normal daily activities

Is it true that hypnotists have strange, mysterious powers?Since all hypnosis is self hypnosis, you are the person with awesome power in the hypnotic processes.  The expert in You is YOU!  The special powers a hypnotist uses are training in listening and communication strategies, plus hypnotic tools  strategies and processes to offer you for your own growth and development.  You are the one with the power in this relationship; the hypnotist is your helper in reclaiming your internal alignment with your self defined goals.  

WANT IT TO HAPPEN.  EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN.  WATCH IT HAPPEN!

Background in Hypnosis

Monica Geers Dahl has been in private practice as a certified hypnotherapist since 1985.  She is a life member of the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA), and the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT).  She relocated from Key West, Florida, to beautiful Inverness, Florida, in 2020. 

Mental Health License

I will use my academic credentials, training, and Florida mental health license to provide you with an accurate diagnosis for insurance reimbursement.  

Emotional Support Animal Letters

If you seek an emotional support animal letter, I will provide it only after we have been interacting long enough to assess the efficacy of an animal for emotional support, no less than 3 sessions.

Family Leave and Disability

If you are seeking prepartion of family leave or disability paperwork,  a single session of intake is rarely sufficient time for this purpose.  I have to identify and quantitatively confirm diagnostic criteria that you qualify for family leave or disability.  Be prepared to invest a minimum of 3 weekly sessions for data gathering and to fill out the forms.  I no longer work on forms or applications outside of your scheduled appointments.  The process of collecting data relevant to your request, and whatever time is needed to complete the forms, will be done only during scheduled sessions.   Ideally, I provide diagnostic assessment as part of a treatment team that includes a medical or psychiatric doctor for your application. 

Medical Marijuana Diagnosis

I provide a letter indicating diagnositic criteria sufficiently qualifying for you to receive the Florida Medical Marijuana card only to long term clients (3 months or longer).  It is faster for you to book an appointment with a medical doctor who is authorized by Florida to prescribe.
