HYPNOTHERAPY WITH DR. FLAVIO

You Feel Better. Now Let’s Resolve the Root of the Problem.

The RELIEF Phase was designed to help you feel better quickly.

In those first sessions, we focused on reducing the immediate distress, discomfort, anxiety, emotional pain, cravings, sleeplessness, or other symptoms that were interfering with your life, sleep, work, and well-being.

RELIEF is important.

But RELIEF and RESOLUTION are not the same thing.

Feeling better does not always mean the underlying pattern has been fully resolved. In many cases, the symptom is only the visible part of a deeper emotional, behavioral, or subconscious process.

The next phase of treatment is called RESOLUTION.

What is the RESOLUTION Phase?

 

RESOLUTION is the phase in which we move beyond managing the immediate symptoms and begin addressing the underlying patterns that allowed the problem to develop or continue.

The goal is not simply to provide temporary comfort.

The goal is to use deeper hypnosis to uncover the root of the matter, and heal it, so that this problems never happens again.

If you are invited into the RESOLUTION Phase it is because you are no longer in acute distress and you already have a positive experience with hypnosis and with Dr. Flavio.

Now we dig deeper and find causes; that is different from turning off consequences. We need to find causes and heal them so they never bother you again. This is what I mean by RESOLUTION.

Every person is different. Your RESOLUTION process will be built around your individual needs.

Why Continue After RELIEF into RESOLUTION?

 

The RELIEF Phase is similar to stopping the immediate pain. Some people compare the RELIEF Phase of our work to a visit to the Emergency Department; they feel stable and better, but they recognize that they need follow up and have RESOLUTION.

The RESOLUTION Phase focuses on why the pain was there, what continues to activate it, and what must change so that you are less likely to return to the same place. Think of RELIEF as turning off the "consequence," and RESOLUTION as turning off the "cause."

You already feel significantly better. In fact, if you did not feel already better, you would not have been invited into the RESOLUTION Phase. 

This is the ideal time to continue into the RESOLUTION Phase, because you are no longer living and responding from a place of crisis and stress. You can now work with greater clarity, stability, and perspective.

RESOLUTION may be appropriate when:

  • You feel better but know the problem is not completely gone

  • The symptom has improved but still returns under stress

  • You recognize a repeated pattern in your life

  • You want to reduce the likelihood of relapse

  • You want to understand and resolve the root of the problem

  • You are ready to go beyond survival and create lasting change

NOTE: Momentum and intensity matter in the work with hypnosis. Therefore, if entry into the RESOLUTION Phase is not right for you now, I will ask you to join the RELIEF Phase again in the future. 

How the RESOLUTION Phase works:

 

Momentum and intensity matter when working with hypnosis. This important concept explains why some people who seek hypnotherapy never achieve RESOLUTION; they never reached the core of the issue because they lacked momentum, intensity, and the sheer amount of work needed to get there.

The RESOLUTION Phase solves that problem because we meet as many times, as often as needed, in one month to reach full RESOLUTION.

The contents of the sessions are similar to what you experienced during the RELIEF Phase, except that we do different exercises, with a different goal. Having said that, the sessions will feel familiar and new at the same time. 

The core purpose for the RESOLUTION Phase of our work is RESOLUTION. True RESOLUTION requires CONTINUITY in addition to momentum and intensity. Think about the RESOLUTION Phase as something analogous to surgery; can you imagine how vulnerable a person would feel if we started on a surgery but failed to finish it? 

The RESOLUTION Phase, therefore is only appropriate for the person committed to RESOLUTION, for your own comfort and well-being. 

Regarding your Investment:

 

If you are here, you already know me, and how I work. You also already knows that what we do WORKS. When people come to see me at first, they are suffering, and after the RELIEF Phase, they are comfortable, but not done yet. 

Everything in my practice, since 1996, revolves around WHAT WORKS, as opposed to strategizing on what is more profitable. When I invited you into the RESOLUTION Phase, it is because this would benefit you, if we do it as designed.

The investment framework follows the treatment philosophy: we need as much time together as we need to reach RESOLUTION, in an intense, frequent, fashion; and we need to reach RESOLUTION. Stopping half way would leave you feeling vulnerable. 

This explains why we take a single payment for one entire month of the RESOLUTION Phase.

The investment is $1500 per month, no contract, not auto-renew. This investment covers all necessary sessions and between session phone support.  

Regarding one-off sessions:

 

I offer the Awesome Again Program in three Phases that have been developed and optimized to work for most people, most of the time.

The three Phases of the Awesome Again Program are:

RELIEF: "Acute care" $300 for TWO sessions. The follow-up session after the initial hypnosis session is absolutely necessary.

RESOLUTION: Resolving the cause. $1500 for one month, all the necessary sessions and phone support. 95% of people reach RESOLUTION in one month, some people need additional time. 

TRANSFORMATION: Some people who reach RESOLUTION may be invited into the TRANSFORMATION Phase. If we get there, I will let you know how this works.

Then, some of you may have done well with the RELIEF Phase, but are not ready to embark on the RESOLUTION Phase of the Program. The question then becomes: Can you have a one -off session from time to time? The answer is "YES". For a number of reasons, the fee for one-off sessions is $300 per session. 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why is the program intensive?

Emotional crises often respond better to concentrated care than to waiting a full week between sessions. The pace of the Program is tailored to your individual needs, goals, and progress.

Will I be hypnotized?

Yes. Hypnosis is one of the principal tools used throughout the Program. It is a natural state of focused attention in which you remain aware and in control throughout the process. Every session is individualized to your needs.

How does payment work?

Payment is done on a monthly basis at the rate of $1500 a month. There is no contract, and this payment does NOT auto-renew. This is intentional because 95% of the people I work with are done with RESOLUTION within that one month. If you have not achieved RESOLUTION during that month, you will need to sign up for another month at the same rate of $1500/month.

If you just want an occasional session, the fee is $300 per session. All sessions are paid for at the time the appointment is booked.
