James Giunta -- Hypnotist of the Year

Master Hypnotist James Giunta received the distinction of Hypnotist of The Year this past May from the International Association of Counselors and Therapists and from the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association. Have you considered hypnosis as a means to stop smoking? Or lose weight? Or to free yourself from a fear of flying? People turn to hypnosis for many reasons, and there’s enough research out there to understand why – success! Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of consciousness in which a person becomes more suggestible. The state of hypnosis is sometimes described as a trance. A person is induced into a hypnotic trance in order to address the subconscious mind for the purpose of removing unwanted behaviors or in order to improve performance.

One misconception is that under hypnosis you might do or say something against your will. But hypnotists can’t make you do something against your will. If a suggestion is made that is contrary to one’s natural inclination, the mind rejects the suggestion. A law-abiding person cannot be influenced to commit a crime. James holds many certifications including those from American Board of Hypnotherapy, International Association of Counselors and Therapists, American Hypnosis Association, and the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association. James has a private practice, Trance Formation Hypnosis, in Red Bank assisting clients in achieving their personal goals such as habit modification, stress reduction, overcoming fears and performance anxiety, test anxiety, increasing self-confidence and self-esteem, smoking cessation, weight loss, pain management, and more.
