First, thank you for visiting my website. I am Phyllis Barrington, and I am a certified hypnotherapist in the Shreveport-Bossier City area - definitely one of the few in the Ark-La-Tex. 

I was just like you are right now – I had a family, I taught school, I had my own issues to work out. I had my own problems dealing with life on life’s terms, for sure. However, I knew that there was something more that could bring me to the pinnacle of my greatness – and we all possess greatness. That’s when I discovered hypnosis!  

You will notice as you browse this site that I am a practicing hypnotherapist who helps people in the Shreveport /Bossier City and Ark-La-Tex areas with such issues as smoking, weight loss, pain management, depression, stress, health conditions, insomnia, relationships, and even past life regression.   I am currently working on my Doctorate in Hypnotherapy, which will allow me to work more with children who have autism, and to align with physicians and dentists.  

What’s the difference between a hypnotist and a hypnotherapist? 
First of all, I don’t practice stage hypnosis. I don’t bring up a concern that needs addressing and then shake your hand and thank you for coming to the show. I actually assist you in releasing the pain, emotions or trauma (if any) associated with a certain problem. I then give you the release that you can use again and again to alleviate the symptoms. So, not only do I take you there, but I also bring you back, alert and ready to tackle the problem with the right tools.  

Hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion, is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus, concentration and inner absorptions. When you are under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and you can concentrate intensely on a specific thought, memory, feeling or sensation while blocking out distractions. Under hypnosis, you’re more open than usual to suggestions, and this can be used to modify your perceptions, behavior, sensations and emotions. Therapeutic hypnosis is used to improve your health and well-being and is different from so-called state hypnosis used by entertainers. Although you are more open to suggestion during therapeutic hypnosis, your free will remains intact and you don’t lose control over your behavior -YOU NEVER DO OR SAY THINGS YOU DO NOT CHOOSE.  

Why Hypnosis?  Hypnosis is intended to help you gain more control over undesired behaviors or emotions or to help you cope better with a wide range of medical conditions. Hypnosis isn’t considered a treatment or a type of psychotherapy. Rather, it is a procedure typically used along with certain treatments and therapies to help a wide variety of conditions.
