I do private sessions one on one, but I can also do Hypnotherapy over the phone if you are unable to come into the office. I have done sessions by phone as far away as Manila, Philippines and India as well as other states in the U.S

CLINICAL AND MEDICAL HYPNOTHERAPY CAN ALSO BE DONE

OVER THE PHONE.

I have developed a safe and gentle technique to resolve problems over the phone if you are unable to come to my office.

I do clinical and medical hypnosis, by getting to the source of what has caused the problem and then resolving it to eliminate the problem.

It is quick, gentle, and private since there is no need for you to disclose information you don’t wish to.

Most problems are done in three sessions or less.

See my Web site www.mtiofh.com for details and testimonial letters.

I am an Indiana state licensed Hypnotherapy #38000036A. I have been in private practice since 1986, and taught internationally since 1991.

WHAT IS CLINICAL AND MEDICAL HYPNOSIS?
by Dr. Gisella L. Zukausky,BS,C.Ht.,Ct.H.A.

Indiana State Licensed #38000035

A Clients that come in for therapy often wonder what hypnosis will feel like. They are always surprised the first time that it feels no different than sitting with their eyes closed. Unless a test is done on them to prove that they are in a state of sub-consciousness (hypnosis) they would go home thinking nothing happened.

Anyone who has ever been hypnotized will tell you that you are fully aware, awake, and in control of yourself. It is all self-hypnosis. The individual listens to what the hypnotist says to relax them and then allows the relaxation to take place physically and mentally.

No one can be hypnotized or kept in a state of hypnosis unless they want to be.  If they choose to bring themselves out of hypnosis all they have to do is open their eyes. It is somewhat like reading instructions to someone and they are following those instructions. Therefore, the client is actually hypnotizing (mentally relaxing) himself or herself.

Whenever we are in meditation or in a daydream state and are making no conscious effort to think of anything and our mind is just wandering around, that is hypnosis. The brain waves are at the same level as when we are meditating or daydreaming.

A very important point is that all of our emotions and feelings are stored in our subconscious mind which is 100% of our mind. Our conscious mind is where we think and reason. We are using only 2% to 7% of our conscious mind.

We are then in our subconscious mind, not the conscious thinking part of our mind. We still have thoughts but they are random thoughts not something that we where deliberately making ourselves think about.  That is when we have our most creative. When we are not thinking we are in our subconscious mind which is like a computer. That is where all our experiences and what we have learned, are stored.

We seldom know consciously what all the incidents in our past are that are responsible for a problem. We may have some idea but not entirely.

We are mostly controlled by our emotions and feelings rather than our conscious thinking part of our mind.  Whenever our reasoning thinking part of our conscious mind and the feeling part of our subconscious mind come in conflict over something our feelings almost always wins out.  That is why we don’t always do what is in our best interest, because we react to our feelings and emotions instead.

For example:  Someone who smokes reasons and determines that smoking is bad for them and they want to stop very much. They usually will eventually go back to smoking even if they where successful for awhile in stopping, because their feelings that causes the problem will overcome their reasoning.  Even if they are successful in permanently stopping their smoking the need to pacify their emotions will still be there and when there is enough stress they will start a different habit such as over eating and start gaining weight.

If a client is hypnotized they are in a highly suggestible state of mind. However, they have a free will and will not do anything that is against their principles and beliefs. Only suggestions that they feel are acceptable and in their best interest will be accepted by them. That is why just doing therapy with hypnosis were the client is given only Post-Hypnotic suggestions to hopefully cause a change and to improve, are only about 15% successful. If the client finds a negative suggestion unacceptable or is turned off to the suggestion they will reject it. They will also reject a suggestion to change if they are not totally willing to change. Some times it conflicts with our conscious thinking.

Since the client is always in control and can reject any suggestion if they find it unacceptable a  Post-Hypnotic Suggestions should always be worded in a positive way. Only then might the client benefit and get better results. The results are seldom permanent with only suggestions to change, since what caused the problem hasn't been resolved and removed. For example: When an individual tries to stop smoking with the Patch, Nicoret gum, acupuncture, etc. or by only using Post Hypnotic Suggestions from a Hypnotist, this does not get to the source and feelings of what has caused the problem to develop. The success rate is less than 15%.

When Hypnosis is used Clinically to get resolved and work out the emotions of what has caused the smoking the success rate is about 98% without any weight gain. This is because the emotions that were the trigger are no longer there to be pacified. The sessions are done one on one since it is therapy under hypnosis.

It is important for the client to know what the kind of training of the Hypnotherapist is. Did they have training in "Regression Therapy?" This kind of therapy training means they can find out what is motivating the behavior and eliminate and resolve the feelings and emotions that cause the problem. Then they no longer have the problem. The results are permanent. The client should find out the training and how effective the hypnotherapist is when choosing one by asking for referrals and testimonials from others.  Any hypnotherapist should be willing to give this information.

The Medical Licensing board in Indiana governs Hypnosis. They require that we give a new client in writing our training and qualifications. Anyone using Hypnosis in Indiana must be Indiana State Licensed. Only Physicians, RN's, Dentists, Licensed Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, and Chiropractors are exempt from taking the test to be Licensed and using hypnosis. The amount of training in Hypnosis may vary from two days if the hypnotist only gives Post Hypnotic Suggestion. It takes a great deal more training if the Hypnotist does Regression Therapy, or Medical Hypnosis.

TESTIMONIALS

Gisella,                                  DEPRESSION

Thank you so much for my past session.  I am amazed how good I feel compared to the last few dismal months of depression.  It is like day and night difference!   I have done publicity work for you by telling several friends about it.

My best friend suffers from gout, arthritis, and acid reflex, her daughter is on disability for fibromyalgia and her grandson has MS (found out when he was 17 and now is 21)..whom also just went on disability, and has constant pain problems as now parts of his body are going numb.   I was wondering if you could help with their pain.

I am so looking forward to our next session to improve myself more. Oh,by the way I did go to the library and got the book, Deadly Emotions which is a very good book. Thank you for that tip as well. See ya have a good weekend.

Dear Dr. Zukausky,                  UNCONTROLABLE SNACKING

I have seen you only 3 times for issues dealing with my uncontrollable snacking and mindless over eating.

I come from a history of molestation as a small child and have been having a hard time dealing with these emotions in my mid adult years. Obviously I was using food as a way to comfort myself and yet, I didn't know how to stop myself.

I was also feeling as if I was always filled with anxiety, I was a restless person, and had trouble sleeping.  After my third visit with you, our chaplain made a comment to me that said volumes.  He told me I looked "rested and calm".  No one has ever said that to me.  He also had no idea that I had started sessions with you.

I am a calmer, happier person.  I know that with continued hypnotherapy I will be able to deal with past hurts, that I will learn to appreciate myself and love myself and that finally I will no longer use food as a source of comfort.

Thank you Dr. Gisella Zukausky,
Vicki L. Fort Wayne, Indiana

Dear Gisella,                             WAS TERMINALLY ILL

I brought my friend to be a volunteer for you to demonstrate on him, in your class I was taking in hypnosis. The Doctors gave him three months to live. He had a liver disease. His complexion was gray and his ear lobes and fingers were black. He walked with a cane and continually belched air. After you were done with the session on him his skin color was normal, ear lobes and fingers were now gray instead of black and there was no more belching. He handed me his cane and said he no longer needed it. In a couple of weeks my friend was able to eat anything for the first time in a year, and he felt stronger with each day. In three months the doctors said that there was no longer a problem with his liver. They had not done anything different in his treatment. There has been no reoccurrence since then in the past years.

Sincerely,

Eleanor Lebricht

Dear Dr. Zukausky,                    BI-POLAR

Although I first came to you to stop smoking I experienced help in another area as well. I had been diagnosed with Manic Depression 19 years ago, (now known as Bi-polar). I came to you to work on this problem next. I am amazed at how much better I feel since you have worked on this. The constant sadness, tiredness, worthless feelings, anger, etc. seem to be fading away. I feel like a different person. Things that used to bother me to death don’t seem to matter anymore. Friends and family have noticed these changes. Thanks to you, Dr. Zukausky, for helping me. Hypnotherapy wasn't’t as traumatic and painful as the many years I’ve had traditional psychiatric therapy.

God Bless you,

Vickie

Dr. Zukausk,                       POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISCORDER                                          

I served as a Green Beret Sergeant on a Special Forces A team in Vietnam in 1969. I saw and participated in a great deal of heavy combat at the Cambodian border. We were used as bait to lure main force North Vietnamese infantry units into combat so that we might attack them with air artillery strikes. We took no prisoners. In the end we went through seventy-one straight days of fighting. I saw several of my close buddies blown up near me.

Upon arrival in the U.S., I immediately sought psychiatric help from the VA. I heavily abused alcohol and drugs. It cost me my marriage. People, even those who knew me were deathly afraid of me.

For the next 25 years I had continuous nightmares, flashbacks, hallucinations. I received continuous psychiatric treatment from the VA, including six hospitalizations for PTSD. Nothing really helped.

In April of 1995 I was at the end of my rope. On a chance I saw Dr. Zukausky in the newspaper. I made an appointment. It changed my life.

After the first session my mother asked what had happened. She noticed a drastic change in my attitude and demeanor. When I told her about my experience with hypnotherapy, she wept. She had her son back.

By the fifth session I had ceased to have nightmares, and the guilt I had felt for a quarter century was gone. I have never had flash backs or nightmares. I have learned to release my anger rather than internalize it. The violent feelings I would experience are gone. All because of hypnotherapy and this very special lady.

I have numerous physical problems. I had seen medical doctors about them. Dr. Zukausky addressed these problems with hypnotherapy, especially headaches. I can truly say that her treatment has helped me dramatically. I don’t have headaches anymore. I have chronic pain and she has taught me to control it.

Sincerely,

James B. Godwin

To Whom It May Concern,         SCHIZOPHRENIC

I first went to Gisella Zukausky for hypnotherapy with a referral from the Family Practice Center Of The Fort Wayne Medical Education Program on Feb. 5, 1999.

I had many problems that I had been in therapy for almost twenty years. I was diagnosed as Schizophrenic with Manic Depression, and heavily medicated. I had many fears, obsessive compulsive, mental distractions, grandiose thinking, to name only a few. Hearing voices was also a major problem for me for many years.

After seeing Gisella Zukausky 20 times that summer I have achieved the following results:

Fear 7 session, almost totally gone Heavy heart 2 sessions, these feelings are totally gone. Sour sinking feelings Depression 2 sessions seems to be totally gone. Obsessive behavior 3 sessions, this has lessened but probably need some more work. Insecurity 5 sessions, mostly gone but still seems to need a little more work. Hearing Voices 2 sessions, now gone. At some session we worked on more than one problem. to get more help done. Mental Distraction, Lack of Confidence and Self-Esteem, Not Feeling Cheerful, Grandiose Thinking/Because of Delusions. Since these sessions I have gotten a job, and am now in a serious relationship. I have plans to go back to college to finish my degree. I had dropped out 20 years ago. In the fall of 1999 I fell asleep while driving my car and caused the death of someone. It was very difficult for me to deal with this. I had been receiving therapy from someone for this. When I called Dr. Zukausky she offered to work on me for free since I did not have the money at the time, to resolve these feelings so they would not trouble me and cause me more difficulty. After three sessions I felt I was able to put that incident to rest and felt I now was free from the feelings this had caused me.

Sincerely,

Mark Gates

Hello Gisella,                   ADDITIONAL HELP FOR OTHER PROBLEMS

Just to let you know that Rick and I are doing wonderfully now. I feel much better about myself and the sessions helped in ways I didn't plan on. I have digestive problems from having gastroparesis (Paralyzed Stomach), and have stomach spasms regularly, especially at night. Also some undiagnosed "twitching: throughout my limbs. After the three sessions with you, the spasms and twitching are probably 75% or more relieved even though we never worked on those problems. I can sleep I I never even told you about that problem. So thank you for that bonus.

This was something that was so helpful after years of seeing psychologists, I felt better in just 3 visits for the problem I came in for.

I am studying for a psychology degree currently (although in the early stages). I really want to be able to do this for others as years of counseling and therapy can be accomplished in only a few sessions with Clinical Hypnosis.

Dear Gisella Zukausky,          

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

I am a 52-year-old male that had tried to deal with PTSD for nearly 33 years. After 30 plus years of private and VA therapy I was lucky enough to encounter you, Dr. Zukausky. July 4, 1972 off the coast of Vietnam I was injured aboard the U.S.S. Newport News and as a result of those injuries, I was deaf and blind. The US Navy doctors rebuilt my ears and restored my sight. I didn't feel very lucky; in fact I was a very angry man. I unconsciously obscured that anger from myself, but was not as successful in keeping it from upsetting those around me. I, like many of us, showed largely that anger in what we call "Road Rage". I was consistently judgmental of everyone else on my road. After two sessions with you I was no longer judgmental or criticizing other drivers. I was observing them instead, "Oh, she's on her cell phone." Not "Get the _____ off the phone!" The stress is gone and I feel like I've added years to my life. Life is less of a burden now. My relationships with others and my wife are much happier now.

Dear Dr. Zukausky,                  ALCOHOL AND DRUGS

I had a very bad problem with cocaine & alcohol. This problem lasted for about 14 years. The drinking started at the age of 13. I had my first drunk at 14. I have been in numerous "In Patient" programs. I did have some clean time in between. In fact, I did have 2 years plus at one time. I started drinking (first) & then using. I stayed out for over 2 years. It was a true two years of Hell! Things were so bad, I even tried to end it a couple of times. It is a "True Miracle" that I'm even here. Then I met Gisella Zukausky & started weekly sessions. Within 8 sessions the obsession to drink or use was GONE. I was even able to stop chewing, a habit that I had for over 15 years. I truly believe that Gisella Zukausky helped save my life. I thank God for her.

Most Sincerely,

S.J.

Dear Gisella:                             PERMANENT WEIGHT CONTROL

I just wanted to let you know how well the hypnosis for weight loss is working for me.  After my second session with you, that evening my husband and I went to eat at a Chinese restaurant.  As you know, at most Chinese restaurants the portions are quite generous.  As I explained to you in our first session, as rule I don't drink anything with my meal. This time I followed your suggestion of drinking water between bites.  I also had some hot tea to drink along with my meal and alternated tea and water during my meal.  This did slow down my eating pace and allowed me to enjoy my meal and eat until my stomach told my brain I was full.  Here is the most exciting thing - the waitress brought us boxes to take home the leftover.  When I looked at what was left over without really truly "thinking" about it I knew that what I had left would be enough to satisfy me for two lunches - so I used 2 boxes to take my meal home. 

Two days later we had "chocolate" day where I work at Kohl's.  We had all kinds of chocolate candies, most of which are my "favorites".   Without any effort whatsoever, I totally ignored the candy.   I had no interest whatsoever.  Prior to seeing you I would have been in that break room a number of times grabbing 2-3 pieces at a time, not even being aware of how much chocolate I had consumed during the day.  I am so pleased with what is happening. I am telling many people about this program.  I noticed today on my 3rd session I was very much anticipating being hypnotized.  I feel wonderful after the session ends. 

If you ever have anyone who has any questions about the hypnosis or how well it works, I would be very happy to share my experience. 

Sincerely,

Marsha Ester
Ft. Wayne, IN
