The Initial Consultation
The first step is a personal consultation. Dr. Matez will take a complete and detailed confidential medical, psychological, family, social and personal history. These individual factors are vital to treatment success. Therefore, a careful evaluation is extended to each patient. This initial consultation/clinical history allows you and the doctor to get acquainted, establish rapport, and provide necessary information to treat your specific problem.
After this careful evaluation, upon which a diagnosis and treatment plan can be determined, Dr. Matez will discuss with you whether your problem can be best treated with medical hypnosis and, if so, estimate how many sessions of hypnotherapy will be required to help you resolve your problem. Following the consultation and an explanation of the appropriate treatment plan, you will be able to experience your first hypnotherapy session. This first visit to the office usually takes about two hours to complete.
What Happens In Therapy?
At the San Diego Medical Hypnosis Center for Wellness, you can be assured that you will be guided by professional, reputable, dedicated people who will put you at ease, offering personal care every step of the way. Therapy is individualized and all treatment sessions are conducted in an environment designed to allow you to be relaxed and comfortable while in an uninterrupted hypnotic state. You will always remain aware and in control during all hypnotic sessions. Therapy sessions are generally about 1 1/2 hours in length.
Dr. Matez will guide you into a state of deep relaxation, and helps you, where needed, to identify and resolve the underlying and root cause of your problem using various medical hypnosis/hypnoanalysis and guided imagery techniques. The old negative thought patterns are replaced using positive suggestions, which in turn, can lead to a healthier, emotionally balanced, and more mature individual with renewed self-confidence and self-esteem.
