Ascension Wellness Center is proud to offer Clinical Hypnotherapy (Hypnosis) services. The first & most important thing you must understand is that what you have seen on TV or movies is not hypnosis. That is a performance, the same way that Pro wrestling is not real wrestling or a play at the Seattle Rep is not Real Life. Hypnosis is a 
tool with great strength but no one can make you bark if you don’t want to.
Three Huge Reasons Why Ascension Hypnosis is Different.
Here at Ascension Hypnosis we do things much differently then every other Hypnotherapist. We believe these differences are what make us so successful when working with willing minds.
- Custom Hypnosis- The first & most important thing you should know is that we customize everything to each patient. No two smokers are exactly the same & no hypnosis script can work for everyone. Each person has different trigger for their habits & different words or visualization can be hugely powerful for one person & do nothing for seemingly the same person. A 50 year old Caucasian male from Kent needs a different script then an early 20’s Latino woman from Texas, the same way the same pair of jeans won’t fit them both. If you tried to make a pair of jeans to fit them both neither would be happy. Most hypnotherapists & chain hypnotherapy mills use the same script in the same way every time for every person.
- Technology- Technology has become so advanced that it is now unlocking the secrets of the brain. Here at Ascension Hypnosis we only concerned with healing our patients & will rely on anything we need to make it healing happen. We have no ego on the subject of technology & not only use it, but we use layers upon layers of it to insure we get the results you want. Many hypnotherapists will mock our use of technology to get better results. In science & medicine the leaders were always considered out of the norm they until the improved the norm.
We use engineered music to change your heart rate. That same music uses a few other techniques of audio soundscaping called brainwave entrainment & binaural meditation. These techniques work together to change your brainwaves from a normal waking wave to a deep state of relaxation. Depending on your goals I will adjust your brainwaves from a conscious state (Beta) to a Theta or Delta wave pattern to do our hypnosis work.
You will also be in audio isolation, I use a sound blocking (not white noise) headphone system for the patient. This blocks out any sounds that could disrupt your relaxed state. I use specialized studio recording gear & microphone to mix exactly what you need. I can see if you are not relaxed enough & can adjust my script, adjust the sound waves, use many other sound mixing techniques that will all add up to a relaxation so deep that many patients will lose their sense of time & space (which used to be rare before the technology). We can also record your session* to your IPOD or better MP3 players, smart phones, burn a CD/DVD, etc…. - Neurology- Jason Morton, your Hypnotherapist, has spent 24 years studying the brain, relaxation, altered states, & meditation. (Meditation & Hypnosis is nearly the same state, the person doing the suggestion is different.) Being a Meditation student since 14 years old & Meditation Instructor for 15 years Jason has learned what works for different minds. Certain personality types work better with certain techniques. Knowing all these tools & how/when to implement them is what makes #1 “Custom Hypnosis” work.
If you want to know more about my hypnosis philosophy & technique that I created, check my meditation page as my hypnosis practice is based on the same theory of my very successful Mediation classes. “No two people are alike & what makes them relax are therefore not the same things. We learn what works best for you, not teach you what worked best for me.”
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a powerful method for talking to the deepest part of the mind, your subconscious. We do this with the intention of installing new behaviors and reactions to stimuli that has previously caused you to make bad decisions. Many think hypnosis or meditation is a relaxed state like sleeping. Really its the opposite, it’s a very focused & highly concentrated state that better allows you tap into that inner potential. You can block behaviors & pass limiting ideas you keep deep in your psyche. You will not be asleep or unconscious & you will probably remember everything that happened. You will hear what the therapist says & can decided to follow the suggestions or not. Once again if you don’t want to cluck like a chicken no one can make you. That said, you won’t be asked to bark, cluck, or make any such animal noises.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the clinical application of hypnosis. It has been used for everything from stopping smoking to remembering long lost memories. Through the use of suggestion & the cooperation between hypnotherapist & client, the subject enters into a state of profound physical relaxation & then into a relaxation of the mind that is at the same time highly focused. This combination of physical relaxation & relaxed mental focus creates a state of maximum suggestibility making the therapeutic usefulness of hypnosis possible. In a survey comparing the effectiveness of various forms of psychotherapy, researchers concluded that hypnotherapy had a higher rate of recovery in a shorter amount of time.
- Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions.
- Behavior therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions.
- Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions.

How can Hypnotherapy be used?
Hypnosis can be used in every aspect of your life. The most common of course is Smoking & Weight loss. The truth is that anything in your life you want to change, whether to get rid of bad habits or make a better life for yourself, hypnotherapy can help. By eliminating barriers or blockages between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind hypnosis can help unleash massive potential. Bad habits can be broken & new patterns of thought & behavior can be achieved when self-limiting fears, false conceptions, bad self talk, & troubling confusions are resolved. In my life I have used hypnotherapy for sports performance, goal setting, & to stop speeding. Each time it was successful & led to a better life. I can help you with: sports performance, stopping smoking, losing weight, resolve inner conflict for success, relief from chronic pain, overcome fear & anxiety, confidence, public speaking, goal setting, or any situation you think you can use the extra power of controlling your brain. Hypnosis is a life changer. No more diets, no more spending thousands a year on cigarettes, never again be frozen from anxiety, this is the answer to a final lasting change.
