Karen Prosen Hypnotherapy

I’ve been clenching my teeth at night for ten years, causing tension headaches throughout my day. I decided to go to Karen and try hypnotherapy after dentists and orthodontists did all they could to help me. I realized the problem was more emotional, subconscious and linked to a habitual pattern rather than something anatomical a dentist could fix.
I had a series of four sessions and a hypnotherapy recording for TMJ with Karen. I felt taken care of the moment we had our first phone consultation. She is professional, clear, very knowledgable and kind. I wasn’t sure if hypnotherapy would help since I have been clenching my teeth in my sleep for so long, but after my first session, I noticed considerable difference in my sleep, and no headache the next day. Once I got my recording, I started listening to it every night before bed. I now feel like I have an opposing magnet in my mouth separating my teeth apart, and so much more softness around my jaw as I sleep. My headaches have significantly reduced in the last month, and I have much more awareness of my jaw as I fall asleep.
Karen helped me link the jaw clenching to unexpressed emotions and helped me let go of my subconscious’s need to protect by grinding and clenching my teeth in my sleep. Through our conversations and the hypnotherapy itself, I am in a much better place than where I started. I have a deeper understanding of my subconscious and have the recording to prevent falling back into old patterns in my sleep.

I had an introductory hypnotherapy session with Karen Prosen. As a open minded skeptic, I found the session to be very informative. I wasn’t sure I would relax and take part, but I did. I’m impressed with both Karen’s skill and creativity, and how they are two necessary aspects of her profession. And behind it all is her desire to help people. She brings a complex interweaving of abilities to her practice.
Since the session, I’ve been thinking more about the alpha state. Most people tend to be so busy and overloaded. As an artist and musician, it turns out I’ve been more familiar with the alpha state, than most. With techniques like hypnotherapy, the alpha state can be a very useful place for change and improvement.

I have suffered from a condition which does not allow me to sleep comfortably. Because of this, I have not had a good night’s rest for as long as I can remember.
I have seen many doctors and tried researching about my condition on my own and could not find the help I desperately wanted and needed.
After many years of dealing with it, I decided to try hypnotherapy. I met with Karen and all I can say is that I had an immediate connection with her. Through our session i learned that I was deeply affected by events from my childhood that I had repressed. I opened up to her in no way I had ever done so with anyone I have ever met. She helped guide me down the initial steps of a long path to recovery and acceptance. And after our experience together I finally got the rest for which I’d been searching for many years.
I would recommend her services to anyone. She truly is the closest thing I can think of to an angel.
Thank you so so so much.
