What People Are Saying

Career Development

"My sessions were well thought out by Lynn and she supported every detail of my needs to get unstuck and remove the blocks that were preventing my moving forward with a plan."

"Lack of focus has plagued me all my life. Years were wasted, multiple unfinished projects haunted me and I ended up living with paralyzing anxiety blocking my steps forward.  Even before my first session with Lynn, positive changes began because of the clarity I began to feel in preparing what I wanted support with. My sessions were well thought out by Lynn and she supported every detail of my needs to get unstuck and remove the blocks that were preventing my moving forward with a plan. I highly recommend not only hypnotherapy in general but this gem of a master hypnotherapist, Lynn Swearingen. Thank you Lynn. Oh and you may find that your first session opens up so many insights into enhancing your career that you return, as I did, to clear up personal issues that seemed too complicated or too buried in your subconscious to work on. Wish I had started with her sooner."

My Bay Area Hypnotherapy Experience

"Fear and panic, primal in nature and force had mastered me."

"Until I went to BAH, I was honestly in a place that was terrible in its impact on me my life and my relationships. I had had a surgery that required some weeks of convalescence and after a several weeks of being in that weakened state I became ill. During this time I became overcome with a seemingly pervasive and relentless fear, panic and anxiety that threatened my sanity and life. Fear and panic, primal in nature and force had mastered me. I managed to search the internet and choose BAH and Jim Swearingen to try to avoid the direction that apparently had taken control of my life with episodes that left me unable to function. I was afraid of everything and anything my brain focused upon for more than a few moments, sleep, sunlight, any building, night, cold, rain, noise were all overwhelming threats causing adrenalin rushes and irrational behavior. Powerful drugs had been prescribed and their side effects were also chilling.

The effectiveness of BAH has been the main factor in my recovery. Jim’s combination of hypnotherapy and counseling, unique and based on a lifetime of experience, have been the ladder that allowed me over four weeks to climb out of the terrible, dark place in which I found myself.  Jim quickly identified the basis of my fears and has worked tirelessly to corrode them into oblivion. Most important has been Jim’s focus on providing me the tools necessary to deal with the oppressive problem myself. He has given me the means to conquer the fear without reliance on himself.

I am grateful beyond words that my life has been clarified and is headed steadily and unswervingly to freedom and the celebration that life should be rather than one destroyed by the defeating panic and fear I had known. I unreservedly recommend BAH to anyone whose life is being changed and destroyed by fear, panic and anxiety."

"...I was stressed, depressed, unmotivated, and fearful of life in general."

"Bay Area Hypnotherapy has been a tremendous help in my life. I came to him seeking help because I was stressed, depressed, unmotivated, and fearful of life in general. I also needed spiritual guidance. Their support and genuine compassion held me up when I was really down, and the spiritual guidance helped me to navigate my way through some intense turbulence in my life. I am an M.D. by training, and with the techniques that I have learned from Bay Area Hypnotherapy and the guidance I received, I have to say that I am feeling much better now and more peaceful, with an improved outlook on life. Not only did they contribute to the positive change in my life, but taught me how to use hypnotherapy techniques so that I can do them on my own. I intend to continue going to Bay Area Hypnotherapy for continued healing. I am very grateful that I found such compassionate and supportive therapists."

"... I am improving every day and being compassionate with myself."

"I am so grateful to have met Lynn. I go into deep hypnosis and I feel heard, expressed and witnessed in our sessions. The index cards/ home assignments have gotten into my psyche and I am improving every day and being compassionate with myself. Lynn is always so great at communicating with me and she is very easy to talk to. She's also very open minded and wise and she makes me feel very comfortable. It's refreshing to have sessions with her and she helps me see the positives in my life's commotion. Lynn is open to making my sessions about what I want to focus and work on. I feel a difference after seeing her week after week."
