Enjoy a Stress Free Holiday Season with Hypnosis!

The holidays are supposed to be fun and uplifting with many opportunities to get together with loved ones and friends, but for many people, the holidays are a source of unwanted stress and anxiety.  Of course, there’s Christmas shopping and trying to figure out the perfect gift for everyone on your list and then there’s the parties and entertaining with so many different things needed to be incorporated in from decorations to the dinner menu.  No matter what your specific plans are, usually there are so many things to do and so little time.  Many people find themselves feeling overwhelmed and exhausted during the holiday season.  The PA Hypnosis Center’s Individualized Hypnosis Programs can help you to reduce stress tension and anxiety so that are able to enjoy the holidays and make the most of the time you have to share with friends and family. 

 Bonnie is one of PA Hypnosis Center’s clients who, like many others, was dealing with high levels of stress and anxiety and this is what she had to say about her experience: “My experience at the Pennsylvania Hypnosis Center has been an extremely rewarding one.  Not only is it a pleasant place to visit, with a friendly and professional staff, I was able to address a situation that I felt was heading out of control.  My anxiety level was way too high and I felt as if my health would eventually suffer if I didn’t do something to address this situation. Amazingly enough, hypnosis did help me gain control of the stress and anxiety.  I look at the more stressful situations of life in a different light and am a happier person for it. I would highly recommend for anyone who has any particular type of troubling situation to address, to talk to someone at the Pennsylvania Hypnosis Center.”

 Stress and anxiety are not the only things that our readers struggle with over the holiday season.  Many of you would like to lose weight or quit smoking but with the holiday season being in full swing it can be difficult to achieve goals that you have set for yourself.  Christmas cookies, cakes, appetizers and other goodies can be so tempting and before you know it you’ve put on 10 or 15 pounds just over the holidays.  It doesn’t have to be that way. It really doesn’t.  Dan Vitchoff and Catie Dolgos have helped so many people get through the holidays without gaining weight and many of their clients are able to actually lose weight over the holidays.  PA Hypnosis Center’s Hypnosis Weight Loss Programs can help you eliminate cravings for breads, sweets and pastas, lose unwanted fat and develop a natural desire to exercise and stay active.

LOSE WEIGHT AND IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH WITH HYPNOSIS:

Do you feel like you’ve tried everything possible to lose weight?  Do you find yourself eating when you’re bored, stressed out or  just lonely?  Do you tend to have intense cravings for breads,pastas,and sweets?  If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you are NOT  alone.  Thousands of Americans are struggling with their weight every day.  Just opening up a magazine and seeing the slender models is enough intiative to want to lose weight. The ideal size is starting to become smaller and smaller.  Americans spend an average of 40 billion dollars on weight loss products each year and almost two-thirds of adults are so much overweight that it poses a risk to their health.  According to the American Cancer Society, unhealthy eating habits and physical inactivity cause at least 300,000 preventable deaths each year from cancer, heart disease and diabetes. 

Daniel S. Vitchoff, MS Ed., President of PA Hypnosis Center and Founder of the Nationally Acclaimed Sports Improvement Technique, “The 33 Method,” has devoted his practice to helping people make positive changes in their lives with Hypnosis.  PA Hypnosis Center has helped thousands of people lose weight and improve their lives both personally and professionally.  You can significantly improve your health by achieving or maintaining a healthy body weight and quitting smoking.  Several local doctors refer their patients to PA Hypnosis Center to help them lose weight and subsequently lower blood pressure and LDL or “Bad” cholesterol, increase HDL or “Good” Cholesterol and reduce their risk of Heart Disease, Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes and Cancer. 

 What hypnosis does is helps change the way that you think and feel about food. When you begin to change those feelings  you can finally start to take back control over your life.  PA Hypnosis Center client, Mary Lou says, “I lost 22 pounds in two months!  I have not eaten or desired any sweets, junk foods, or ice cream since my first visit.  I totally feel in control of my eating habits and I no longer overeat.” Dave says,”Carrots now taste like candy to me, and it’s not that I even want the junk food, the healthy food appeals to me like never before.”

QUIT SMOKING! 

REDUCE STRESS AND ANXIETY!

FEARS, PHOBIAS NO MORE!

Discover the secret to making and being able to keep  your New Year’s Resolutions!

Starting the new year is always the perfect time to reflect on your past and look forward to what your future holds.  Many of our readers have a long history of making and breaking New Year’s resolutions.  The average number of times that a person makes the same resolution is 10 and over 25% of New Year’s resolutions are broken within the first three months. If kept, just a single resolution can make such a profound and positive difference in your life.

 Aside from spending more time with family and friends, the four most popular New Year’s resolutions are to exercise more, lose weight, quit smoking and reduce anxiety and stress.  Despite even the best intentions, most people are not able to make long-term lifestyle changes on their own.  Many people have a long history of yo-yo dieting; losing weight only to gain it back or maybe they have tried just about everything to quit smoking and nothing has worked for them.  The truth of the matter is that Resolutions can be kept and PA Hypnosis Center’s Individualized Hypnosis Programs can help.  Dan Vitchoff is one of the nation’s leading Hypnotherapists and the President of PA Hypnosis Center, he discovered the benefits of Hypnosis years ago while in college at Point Park University and since has dedicated himself and his practice to helping others make positive changes in their lives with Hypnosis.   

 Hypnosis has been proven to be the single most effective tool for behavior modification and lifestyle change.  Dan Vitchoff and Catie Dolgos can help you identify specific behaviors and patterns that are standing in your way of reaching your goals.  Once you have identified the behaviors and patterns that you would like to change, hypnosis can help you replace the old unfavorable habits with more positive and healthy behaviors and patterns.  For example, if you would like to lose weight and you find yourself having cravings for sweets, hypnosis can help you eliminate cravings for things like cookies, cakes, brownies, ice cream and chocolate. 

Do not let yourself become just another statistic. Call the PA Hypnosis Center today and when the clock stricks midnight on January 1st, 2010, be able to say loud and proud what your resolution is and know that you WILL be able to reach your goals. 7 2 4 – 9 3 4 – 8 4 4 6 !!

The Strength of a Positive Attitude:

Many people do not understand the true strength of having a positive attitude.  It is easy to become consumed within the things in our lives that are not going as planned, instead of focusing on the things in our lives that we are thankful for.  If you’ve ever visited Atria’s Restaurant and Tavern in Wexford, chances are that you may have run into one of the area’s most positive and truly inspiring people.  His name is Jay but his friends, family, and the patrons at Atria’s all know him as “Super Good.”   No matter what is going on in Jay’s life at the time, if you ask him, “How are you today?” he will always give you the same answer.  Even when times are tough, having survived cancer, brain surgery and being the primary caregiver for his wife, if you ask him, “How are you today?” he will always smile, look at you with a gleam in his eye and say, “Super Good!”  We can all take a lesson from “Super Good” and when someone asks you the question, “How are you today?” no matter what is going on in your life, use it as a time to remember all of the things that you are thankful for that you have.  We need to not dwell on the sorrow in our lives rather celebrate the life we were given and what can come from the future.

  “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be,” was said by said by AbrahamLincoln.   Daniel Vitchoff, President of PA Hypnosis Center knows that in order to have success you have to let it begin in your mind.   Dan Vitchoff  is a Board Certified and Licensed Hypnotherapist who has developed specific Mental Training Methods and Techniques that are based on an a proven Structure of Success.

With the holidays right around the corner you may be thinking about what gifts would be perfect for your friends, family members and co-workers.  This year I’d like you to consider the possibility of giving yourself or a loved one the best gift of all; the gift of health!  Many of our readers have tried everything to lose weight or quit smoking and nothing has worked for them.  According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, about 97 million adults in the United States are overweight or obese. Business Week says that Americans spent over $40 billion on diet products in 2008 alone.  On any given day, half of the people in America are on a diet and obesity still continues to rise. 

When someone goes off a diet they usually say that they lost motivation or that they have no will power.  That is exactly where hypnosis can be beneficial.  Clinical hypnosis can help you lose weight and keep it off by changing the way you think and feel about food.  When Dona Weber walked into PA Hypnosis Center for the first time about a year ago she had tried just about everything to lose weight including diet programs, fad diets, liquid diets, even skipping meals and nothing had worked for her.  PA Hypnosis Center’s Individualized Hypnosis Weight Loss Program helped her adopt a more positive outlook, gain more control over food choices and improve her self confidence.  Dona has now lost over 96 pounds, has more energy and has dramatically improved her quality of life with hypnosis.

Like weight loss, many Americans also struggle with quitting smoking and chewing tobacco, they know they need to quit, they really want to quit but they just can’t seem to kick the habit for good.   Brian I. had tried everything to quit smoking and chewing but as he says, “Nicotine is relentless!” he just wasn’t able to quit on his own.  His friend Jeff told him about PA Hypnosis Center who had helped him quit smoking about a year ago so he decided to give it a try.  Brian is now tobacco free and says, “I feel great, I am really happy with my experience at PA Hypnosis Center!”

Daniel S. Vitchoff, MS Ed., CHt. President of PA Hypnosis Center and his associate Certified and Licensed Hypnotherapist Catie Dolgos have been helping people make positive changes in their lives for years.  Clinical Hypnosis can help you to identify patterns and behaviors that are holding you back from achieving your goals.   Throughout your life these patterns and behaviors have become programmed into your subconscious mind.  Clinical Hypnosis enables you to access to your subconscious mind to remove these old patterns and behaviors and replace them with newer, healthier ones.

Local Man Celebrates the 2009 American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout with his 2 Year Anniversary of Being a Non-Smoker and 70 Pounds Lighter!

As the 2009 Great American Smoke Out approaches, Joe Balog from West Virginia is celebrating his 2 year anniversary of being a non-smoker.  Joe Balog began working with Dan Vitchoff, Board Certified Hypnotherapist and President of PA Hypnosis Center in Pittsburgh, PA in November of 2007 with a goal to quit smoking.  He had been smoking for over 17 years and had tried just about everything else to quit smoking and nothing worked.  He even tried a group hypnosis session and wasn’t able to quit.  Joe’s mom, Bernice was looking around on the Internet and found PA Hypnosis Center’s website, www.pahypnosiscenter.com and decided to call and find out more information.  When she called, she was pleased to find out that she and Joe could come in for a Free Consultation and Evaluation to learn more about how they could reach their goals with hypnosis.  Joe and Bernice came in for their Consultation and were impressed by how relaxing the office was and how professional the staff was.  Dan talked to both of them about what “a day in the life of…” looked like for each of them and asked them what they wanted to accomplish.  Even though Joe wanted to lose weight and quit smoking, he decided to participate in a Hypnosis Smoking Cessation Program first and then work on the weight loss second. 

Joe’s first session allowed him to wrap his mind around the idea that he was going to live the rest of his life as a non-smoker and his second session was his quit day.  On Joe’s Quit Day, he left PA Hypnosis Center’s office is Pittsburgh, PA as a Non-Smoker free of cravings and desires and finally free from cigarettes!  After Joe successfully quit smoking he decided to participate in a Weight Loss Program to improve his health and have more energy.  Now, two years later, not only is Joe Balog celebrating his 2 Year Anniversary as a Non-Smoker; he has also lost over 70 Pounds.  What Joe did is an amazing accomplishment!  It can be difficult enough to quit smoking or lose 60 pounds but to do both within one year is truly inspiring.  With PA Hypnosis Center’s help, Joe was able to turn his life around and improve his quality of life; he has more energy and his family is thrilled with his success.

Here at PA Hypnosis Center, we have helped thousands of people quit smoking with hypnosis!  In celebration of the 2009 Great American Smokout we will donate $25 to the American Cancer Society for each new client that purchases a Hypnosis Smoking Cessation Program between Monday N ovember 16th, 2009 and Monday, November 23rd, 2009!  Call today to schedule your FREE Consultation and Evaluation 724-934-8446!
