or all other fertility treatments and the combination of these methods can effectively accelerate the fertility process – whether natural or medically assisted. As all hypnosis is technically self-hypnosis, the Certified Fertility


by Hypnosis Consultant functions as a type of guide. Self-hypnosis, like meditation, is a highly effective method for reducing stress and creating inner calm, however, a skilled professional trained in Fertil- ity by Hypnosis methods is required to facilitate some of the deeper work necessary for the successful outcome of either natural or medi- cally assisted fertility. Many people dealing with infertility are tired of being told to


“just relax.” That is about the equivalent of an insomniac being told to “just go to sleep.” You don’t have to relax to benefit from hypnosis, nor do you have to totally quiet your mind. Your Fertility by Hypno- sis consultant is trained to facilitate a calming environment for you, where you can access the rejuvenating properties of your parasym- pathetic nervous system. All you have to do is breathe. During the hypnotic state there is a physiological change that occurs in the brain, which basically balances the two hemispheres of the brain, strengthening communication pathways between them. This makes you more receptive to suggestions for change. Sugges- tions are given in the form of imagery, pictures, patterns and emo- tion, and are created based on information provided by the patient during an intake session. The hypnotherapist does not have control of your mind, and you will not concede to a suggestion that is against your will. Often a lot of the work done by a Fertility Consultant is actually more of a “dehypnotizing” process. The reason is that your critical factor may be bypassed often during daily life without your being aware of it, resulting sometimes in formidable subconscious blocks.


We know that a range of medical options are available to help conquer infertility problems, however, despite the progress that has been made in the treatment of infertility, the success rate for those who undergo high-tech procedures is currently only about 20%. Connecticut Hypnotherapy can double your chances of success. Studies indicate that infertile women and men utilizing mind/body techniques have a 42-55% conception rate as compared to those not using these techniques. Stress is the main factor preventing concep- tion and the mind/body experience can correct that blockage.
