Dr. Gurgevich’s Amazing Hypnotic Tonic to Remove Phobias uses clinical hypnosis and behavioral methods of systematic desensitization to unlearn phobic anxiety.
Hypnotic trancework teaches you how to achieve a relaxing state of trance. The relaxation is reinforced with deepening methods and post-hypnotic suggestions to enhance your ability to remember the inner calm and peace you achieve in the trance state. When you are ready, the relaxation is produced and maintained as you gradually and progressively confront a hierarchy of the anxiety-provoking stimuli. Now you proceed at a comfortable pace, progressively ‘unlearning’ the anxiety associated to those stimuli, as body and mind learn to experience the relaxation instead. In essence, you are learning to relax effectively and powerfully with hypnotic trancework. You then bring that relaxation powerfully into mind and body as you very gradually confront aspects of the phobia, going forward only as you remain comfortable and confident. In this way you are ‘unlearning anxiety’ and ‘re-learning relaxation’ and confidence in association to the stimuli that had previously evoked anxiety/phobia.
During the hypnotic trancework, your subconscious mind receives hypnotic suggestions to erase past patterns and associations to anxiety, and to reinforce confidence, comfort, security, and your ability to use hypnosis to overcome fears, phobic anxiety, and insecurities. Anxiety is learned. And anything that can be learned can be re-learned.
Dr. Gurgevich’s Amazing Hypnotic Tonic was formulated to empower and liberate you from phobias and phobic anxiety.
About Dr. Steven Gurgevich...
A 15-year-old Steven stopped to watch a radio broadcast one day on his way home from school. Separated from the on-air DJ by a glass partition, he was drawn to one of the guests, a hypnotist sporting a Vandyke beard and a long black cape. The hypnotist was telling the DJ how he could hypnotize anyone. Then, with a dramatic sweep of his hand, and a glaring stare of his penetrating eyes, he pointed at Steven and said, "I could even hypnotize HIM." With that, the now very frightened teenager ran all the way home.
Once his fear subsided, his curiosity led him to the library, where he checked out several books on hypnosis, including "Medical Hypnosis" by Lewis Wolberg, MD He soon learned that hypnosis could help him overcome his fear of injections and accomplish dental procedures without anesthesia. Later, he would add extraordinary achievements to his hypnotic repertoire.
Currently, Steven's professional life consists of a variety of projects. He is a member of the faculty at the University of Arizona's College of Medicine, where he teaches mind/body medicine to physicians at Dr. Andrew Weil's Program In Integrative Medicine. He is a faculty member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, and he also trains physicians at the Pediatric Complementary and Alternative Medicine Center at the University of Arizona. His private practice, Behavioral Medicine, Ltd., begins its 28th year in 2002 and continues to provide Steven with valuable clinical experience.
