Kirk Cook
began studying meditation and metaphysics in my late teens and quickly started applying what I had learned to my personal and working life. For 25 years, I have focused my work on empathy and personal growth, which I believe have powerful and positive effects on people’s lives. My working career has also included youth and adult facilitation, hypnotherapy, ropes courses, personal growth workshops, fire walking events, and meditation courses.
I hold a CHt and Master’s Certificate in Hypnosis (2001), and a Practitioner’s Masters and Trainer’s Certificate in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
My interests include world religion, integral theory, transpersonal psychology, and contemplative practices. Here’s what I’ve come to believe: knowledge remains only information unless it is applied directly toward one’s self. I am here to help you learn about meditation and mindfulness, but also to help you apply what you learn to your life.
Session description: My sessions are 90 minutes. During your first session, we’ll spend 45 minutes talking about what you’d like to work on. I will observe the language you use to describe your situation so that I can use your own words when I hypnotize you. This helps people feel more comfortable, and it makes hypnosis that much more effective. Hypnosis lasts for about 45 minutes; I’ll lead you to a hypnotic state (it might feel like you’re asleep, but doesn’t always). In that hypnotic state, I will embed productive suggestions in your subconscious mind that will help you change the behavior or condition you would like to change.
In our sessions, we’ll talk about what it is that’s causing pain or disrupting your life. Once we discover and understand what’s causing the disruption, we’ll begin a process of strategy creation that will begin to offer some relief to what’s hurting you. This process will evolve as we discover what direction your healing is taking. Using hypnosis, I embed positive strategies into your subconscious mind.
My work covers a variety of things, including depression, anxiety, and other emotionally-based issues, physical difficulties (auto-immune system), addiction, and eating disorders and their cause. I also work to bridge divides that can occur between parents and teens. My goal is to help you feel free within yourself.
I look forward to meeting you!
