My name is Javad Hashtroudian. I have a doctorate in clinical hypnotherapy. Some people cannot remember Javad so I use my initial (J really not Jay) but anyway one of my clients started calling me doctor Jay so I got this URL. As well as my private practice I give seminars on many subjects including weight management, manifestation of your desires, relationships, stress management, performance anxiety, improving grades at school, and others as asked for. So in this section I will write about issues that I talk about in my seminars, CDs, ebooks and so on. I'll post links to some audio and things like that.

From Wishpower seminar workbook:
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring skill of entering the trance state at will. Trance is a natural state of consciousness like the waking and sleeping states. It is a state of deep relaxation in which the conscious mind is distracted, producing heightened suggestibility and increased unconscious awareness, allowing access to the unconscious mind through power of imagination and pretense. It is the ability to experience internal thoughts and images as real. It is important to note that under hypnosis, suggestibility is increased only so long as the suggestion is congruent with the subject’s conscious mind. Thus if a suggestion is made that would go against the morality of the subject’s conscious mind, the person would reject that suggestion and rapport between the operator (hypnotist) and subject would be broken. Thus the subject would immediately return to normal beta/waking state of consciousness.
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and the hypnotherapist is only the guide. Hetero-hypnosis is a cooperative effort between the hypnotist and the subject. The subject willingly enters a state of relaxed suggestibility, that is to say, the trance state. Since the hypnotic or trance state is a naturally occurring state of consciousness, we go in and out of the trance state many times a day. Typically when we read an absorbing book, or watch an absorbing movie we enter the trance state. There are many other times when we automatically enter a trance state. When we drive a car, our mind can wander and suddenly time passes without our knowledge – we have passed the time in a hypnotic state called the driving trance.
Some people say, “You cannot hypnotize me, I’m too intelligent,” or “I have too strong a will power so I cannot be hypnotized.” However, since all hypnosis is self-hypnosis and is about learning to enter the trance state, having a strong will power and a high intelligence are a slight advantages in learning to allow yourself to relax and hypnotize yourself and enter the trance state. But even more advantageous than being highly intelligent and having a strong will power is being creative, having a strong active imagination and a desire to hypnotize yourself.
