I encourage you to listen to the hypnosis session every day for the first 7 days. Ensure you are free from distractions while listening to the audio. do not operate a vehicle or heavy machinery while listening to the audio.



You've been invited to your best friend's bachelor party. You're in the night-club and tequila shots have been ordered for each and every party-goer, including you. What do you do?



Or maybe you've recently discovered you're pregnant. You're delighted but not ready to announce this to the world. You're at a work social and offered a glass of wine by your boss. What do you do?



In the West, there is an assumption that drinking is a necessary part of our lives, and a party is not real unless a bottle or three of champagne is popped. The drinking culture can be hard to handle if you're trying to cut down or stop drinking alcohol, or even if you're just the driver for the night.



Just how tough is it to have fun without alcohol?



How tough it is depends heavily on your own assumptions about alcohol. Contrary to popular belief, research shows that, although alcohol has measurable physiological effects, people's responses to drinking are very largely shaped by what they expect to happen. Study participants given fake vodka and tonic drinks in a bar-room setting displayed all the signs of becoming inebriated.



And if you think you're missing out by not drinking, or making an excessive sacrifice, the party spirit is going to pass right by. If you could just forget about it, and somehow get the buzz without the hangover, that would be a clever trick to pull off.



So can you a) change your expectations and b) forget about the issue? Answer: Yes.



Hypnosis can help you change your mind in dramatic ways!



Party without alcohol is a hypnosis session that will help you make some fundamental changes at the subconscious level - which is where your expectations come from.



As you relax and listen repeatedly to your audio, you'll find that:



You start to reconnect with your inborn ability to be cheerful and sociable without chemical assistance.

You feel more and more at ease in different social situations.

The old preoccupation with drinking/not drinking begins to fade into irrelevance.

Parties and social occasions become refocused on their prime aim - to enjoy the event and the company.

Life in general seems much more enjoyable now that you no longer care about not drinking.



Brainwave entrainment tones are mixed into the recording to allow for an even deeper relaxation.

The Most Valuable Contributor to Success: YOU!







It is important to recognize the significance of the role you play in accomplishing your goals. Hypnosis is neither procedure nor prescription that is done to you. In fact, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis in that you are an active participant in the process. The hypnotherapist should be viewed as a catalyst or guide. You are an integral part in reinforcing positive messages and fulfilling goals through your actions.





Success in attaining your goals depends on you. Success in hypnosis works similarly to success in looking after your health. For instance, if a doctor prescribes blood pressure medication to a patient, that medication will work best only if the patient takes the pill as prescribed, quits smoking, reduces stress, and eats a low sodium diet. Otherwise, the blood pressure medication is ?swimming against the tide? so to speak with not much of a chance. It is like this when using hypnosis. Success depends on many variables including personal attitude, motivation, cooperation, and follow through with reinforcing practices.







What is hypnosis?



Hypnosis is a technique used to induce a heightened awareness and ability to focus in the subconscious mind. The hypnotic state can occur naturally in our everyday lives. For instance, if you've ever found yourself so engrossed in a book that you stopped noticing what was happening around you, then you've experienced a mild hypnotic state. Your awareness and focus were turned inward, toward your book. Hypnosis induced with the guidance of a professional can help you attain even deeper awareness and focus toward the messages of your choosing. Of course, the goal in hypnosis is to focus on positive messages that are goal-oriented and solution-based.







Who can be hypnotized?



Most people can be hypnotized to varying degrees. A deeper hypnotic state may be achieved with practice. But, great work can be accomplished even in a light hypnotic state. Anyone with a desire and a willingness to concentrate can experience hypnosis.







What age range is appropriate for hypnosis?



Persons 7 years and older.







Will I be asleep?



No. During a hypnosis session, you will be aware of what's happening. Actually, your senses may be even more acute than usual.







Will I lose control?



No. Your awareness is heightened during a hypnosis session so that you stay focused on your goals. So, hypnosis actually helps you gain control. No one has control over anyone's thoughts and behavior besides his or her own.







What does it feel like to be hypnotized?



Each person's experience is unique, but many report feeling very relaxed and comfortable. Most people report being able to hear and recall the entire session.







Could I get stuck in hypnosis?



No. No one is able to remain in a hypnotic state indefinitely. You would naturally either fall asleep or come back into your conscious waking state.







What if I have medical problems?



Hypnosis is often used to help with the healing process and/or pain management.











What is hypnosis?
