This group consists of motivated people who want to embrace positive change in their lives -- and -- who are hungry for tools. If you know WHAT you want to change and really want to learn HOW, this might be the group for you!
We master time-tested techniques for using the Mind to heal the Body/Mind and achieve personal goals. Tools such as Self-Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Mindfulness are quick and easy to learn in an enthusiastic group setting.
Change can be scary. The same old rut is familiar and sort of comfortable, even if unhealthy or unhappy! But with a little courage, clear instruction and group support you can become your best self.
What types of "change"?
• Habits such as weight loss, smoking cessation, and exercise motivation.
• Mental states such as changing stress to control, fear to confidence, doubt to self-appreciation and anger to calm and inner peace.
• Exploring your inner creativity, goals and highest values.
• And even medical conditions. Medical self-hypnosis has been proven to help insomnia, chronic pain, IBS, fibromyalgia, diabetes and many other conditions. (See Scientific Research on www.KathyDonerMD.com)
In a group we learn tools and practice together. We focus on solutions, not problems. Trainings build on each other, like building blocks, or can be learned and practiced individually. You may start with a simple one minute self-hypnosis and then progress to add an NLP Swish Pattern for motivation and EFT for freeing yourself of defeating emotions. And Mindfulness can become your default mode of getting the most out of your unique life!
What you want to change may be the same in each group -- for example, weight loss or resolving insomnia or lessening chronic pain. Or members in one training class may apply the same tools to many issues.
This group is open to anyone 16 or older. No experience necessary -- only a desire to learn and take charge.
Trainings are currently being offered at ProHealth and Fitness Centers in Viera, Merritt Island and Melbourne and will be expanded on request. Get a group of 20 together and I'll be there!
The cost is very reasonable and includes training manuals.
About Kathy Doner, MD:
After 25 years practicing Internal Medicine I was totally frustrated with the standard of care -- drugs and surgery. Most of my patients' problems were caused by unhealthy life-styles and unhappy mental states. Yet insurance companies did not reimburse for my motivating patients to change. I believed they could, and many wanted to -- but training people to take charge of their health and happiness takes time. And insurance companies
My training and orientation is holistic -- Internal Medicine, Master's in Public Health Nutrition, Certified Hypnotherapist, Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Teacher of Emotional Freedom Technique and extensive trainings in Mind/Body Medicine. But medical practice is not holistic.
So, 8 years ago I opted out of standard medicine for a better way to empower people. I now have a Hypnotherapy practice in Melbourne and Sebastian, FL for private clients (See www.KathyDonerMD.com) and teach trainings in Self-Hypnosis and other Mind/Body techniques for groups.
