I'm Sharon Belknap, CHt., Certified Hypnotherapist, Sand Artist and creator of Tidbits of Love. I'm grateful you've found your way here and I look forward to supporting you. But first, I'd like to clarify, hypnotherapy is not traditional therapy and I am not a licensed therapist.
I am certified by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners, Certificate # HT-122-023. Hypnotherapy is a complimentary healing art with successes in the areas of: anxiety, grief, loss, fear, depression, pain, lack of confidence or direction, overwhelm with change, desire for greater connection to a higher power, goal setting and achievements.
Following a thorough intake and agreed upon approach to your sessions, I will guide you into a deep trance-like state where you are fully responsive and in complete control at all times. Within this deep relaxation, the critical mind rests and your subconscious mind is more open and receptive to receiving the pre-agreed upon positive suggestions. This is one of the potentially significant benefits of hypnotherapy, to be open to receive positive imagery, words and inspired outcomes. During your session, you may also receive guidance from your own inner-wisdom or from a higher source.
Most often, clients conclude their session feeling a deep peace, calm or joy.
My personal methodology as a hypnotherapist includes the suggestion of the presence of an infinite love. I am open to all beliefs and faiths and honor your path. My services are offered in the North San Diego areas of Cardiff by the Sea, as well as in Leucadia - Encinitas at Indigo Dragon Center. Zoom sessions are also available and highly effective.
Within all the offerings I have created for you, there is a common thread. The thread of a genuine and gracious approach to supporting all people to reconnecting with their inner peace, joy and confidence be it through hypnotherapy, sand art experiences or the sharing of Tidbits of Love. Hypnotherapy offers the opportunity to give the critical mind a rest and allow your inner wisdom to commune with higher wisdom. As an intuitive hypnotherapist, spirituality is a strong presence in my sessions. Know that I will utilize the language you feel most comfortable with in your relationship with a higher presence of love. In that I am not a licensed therapist, our time will be spent primarily on stating a present concern or goal and agreeing to a progression of sessions to move toward your desired outcomes.
Areas of focus might be: grief, loss, upcoming changes in life, lack of focus, confusion about reactive behaviors, fears, desire to connect with Spirit/Source/God, loss of self, lack of self confidence, frustration with others, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, continued sadness with events in the past, confusion about the future, desires for the future. Your desires for comfort, greater sense of control, peace and moments of joy are possible and I will support you with my commitment and my skills. If this is your first time experiencing hypnotherapy, know that when you are in trance-state, you are fully aware of your surroundings and will be fully capable of responding verbally or with "autonomic finger signals" that we will establish at the onset of the session. You are in complete control at all times. Hypnotherapy focuses on your greatest possible outcomes and together we will write what are known as "post-hypnotic suggestions". These phrases will be spoken by me during your session and will be received by your subconscious mind along with the wisdom you receive during your session. This is where the deep restoration begins. It is subtle and for many, it feels like going home. Upon returning from trance, I will invite you to share your experience and I will be honored to be your scribe. As a celebration of your first hypnotherapy, I will illustrate and paint a bookmark for you. Having physical evidence of your hypnotic experience been quite profound for many, if not all, of my clients. It's an honor to spend time with your has been see the power of these visual reminders, visit the Testimonials page. I look forward to meeting you. Please reach out to me to schedule a 30-minute consultation, it's a gift from me, so we may chat about your reasons for seeking hypnotherapy as a potential approach to supporting what you are seeking.
