The 5-Path method of hypnosis is a unique form of hypnotherapy created
by world-renowned hypnotherapist Cal Banyan. It has become a highly praised and effective approach to conducting hypnotherapy and is practiced by a growing number of specially trained hypnotherapists worldwide.
So, what makes it unique? First and foremost, it is progression based; each step has a criterion that has to be met before going to the next one. It is a multi-session method that works at getting to the core of the issue the client wants resolved. While a usual treatment plan is five to six sessions, sometimes patients are able to resolve issues, such as smoking, in just one or two sessions. Path hypnotherapists have been trained to find the actual cause of the problem and eliminate it, and then give the clients suggestions for success.
n the first step, clients receive a comprehensive “pre-talk,” in which they will learn about hypnosis. This time also allows for the client to interact with the hypnotherapist so that he/she can find out what the client’s goals are and how best to help the client reach those goals. The 5-Path hypnotherapist uses a modern hypnotic induction, which is fast and efficient. Once in a hypotonic state, the hypnotherapist works with the client as he/she goes through the process of neutralizing any old limiting beliefs, emotions or habits that have caused him/her to not meet his/her goals.
A 5-Path hypnotherapist is able to identify issues that could be causing problems that the client may not have thought of such as internal conflicts. For example, most people that want to make positive changes in their lives are also a bit conflicted by making the changes, like the smoker that wants to stop but is fearful that he or she will miss the cigarette habit or gain weight. Another example is the person that has been abusing alcohol or drugs that fears that if he/she abstains, he/she will be lonely or anxious without the alcohol or drugs. The 5-Path method uncovers these subconscious blocks to success and neutralizes them.
5-Path hypnotherapists work with clients that struggle with weight loss, sugar addiction, stress management, anxiety, smoking cessation and more.
