I'm Joshua Howard, CHt, an obsessively dedicated hypnotherapist. I love hypnosis and hypnotherapy as well as personal changework. My absolute favorite thing in the world is the buzz that happens when I help someone to overcome an issue that's bothered them for a very long time.
My speciality in hypnotherapy is emotional regulation. I got into hypnosis in order to regulate my own emotions and have used hypnosis to work on my anxiety, childhood abandoment and abuse trauma, and my fears.
Like all hypnotherapists, I also work with smokers, weigh loss clients, and people who need help with sports improvement. But my strong suit in all of these areas is still emotional regulation: I think deeply about the ways that people are emotionally connected with their problem areas and help them to alter those issues. For instance, the bane of most hypnotherapist's practice is the stress-eater or stress-smoker. This is the client that you can get to stop eating or smoking... but who relapses the second they're stressed out. In my practice, this is one of the very first things we deal with to prevent this too common failure.

I think a therapist has only one job: to faciliate and direct your thoughts and feelings so that the change you seek is created within you. This is the major problem with contemporary talk therapies: they leave the job of change up to the conscious, willpower based faculties of the human. This is very much like trying to fix problems in third party programs by fixing Windows -- while it may help, it's a roundabout way of working on problems when you could just approach the problem on its own terms with hypnotherapy.
