Individual Sessions
Overview
A session is a safe and protected space for you to talk about your issue and share your feelings. As I come to understand what is going on, we begin to include some tapping. Soon I ask some questions to help you come up with an image that embodies your issue or your feelings about it. We then tap focusing on the image and we see what happens. We may circle from the image to talking more about the issue and back. The amazing thing is how our images start to change when we give them our full attention through tapping.
What To Expect
- My sessions are an hour and 15 minutes. I like for us to have plenty of time.
- Expect to be surprised! Images give the subconscious a voice and can be a vehicle for whatever healing and transformation the subconscious is ready to accomplish. So they are by nature not what the conscious mind expected.
- The image may serve as a doorway to lead us to a scene, event or theme that then becomes the focus of the session. Sometimes Inner Theater sessions become inner child sessions and we are working on what happened and how it affected the child.
- We often circle from the image or images back to “real life” and pay good attention to what is happening in your feelings and your perceptions. We do continue to discuss and process the issue at hand. Your imagery may play a small but significant role in the session, or it may be the main focus.
- Your images may become an inner vocabulary that continues to serve you. I think of the client whose anxious thoughts became the image of black snakes slithering into her mind. Through tapping and processing aspects of her anxiety, often circling back to the images, she eventually saw the snakes gathered into a box and carted off to the zoo! She felt free and empowered. When I asked her what got the snakes into the box, she said, “I put them there with my mind.” And from then on, that inner image helped her gain more control over her anxiety and not let those ‘snakes’ slither in!
- For anyone familiar with EFT, you will notice that there is less emphasis on numbers, the traditional intensity ratings of 0-10. As we explore the images through tapping, we are in right brain mode which can flow better without the shift into left brain to “give it a number.” And of course I will include whatever feels best to you.
How Do I Book A Session?
I do require a chat by phone or zoom before we schedule a session. So the first step is to contact me and we will set up our time to connect and discuss the possibility of working together. We also discuss scheduling and make sure I can offer times that work for you.
Being semi-retired at this time, I am very flexible with hours and days yet I only take on a limited number of sessions per week. For Zoom clients, I am on New York (Eastern) time and if you are in a different time zone, we find a time that works for us both. I also maintain an office in Burlington, Vermont for in-person visits if you are local to me.
More Details
What if I sign up for one session and then wish I had chosen a package?
No problem. The session payment becomes the down payment for the package and you simply pay the balance. We can also discuss creating a special package to meet your needs. I value the commitment to a series of sessions and am happy to offer discounts for that commitment.
What if I pay for a package and decide not to continue?
That’s okay. The session or sessions we have done are then considered full-fee sessions and I will refund the remainder. Be assured that you will always be treated fairly and respectfully by me.
Do you take insurance?
No. So sorry, but that is not an option for me. Like most alternative care practitioners, I am not in a category to be an insurance provider. However, some clients have paid by check or card from their HSA funds if those cover complementary or integrative services.
