The Art of Hypnosis - Hypnosis for Artists

Welcome to Hypnosis for Creatives

Welcome to Hypnosis for Creatives!
​I'm Cyrilla Baer - I've been a professional actress (AEA & SAG-AFTRA) for many years (www.CyrillaBaer.com) based at different times in Atlanta, South Florida, Chicago, and now NYC. As an actor, I am of course fascinated with the human mind and behavior. Fascinated enough that in 2001 I became a Certified Hypnotist. I've created a practice that focuses primarily on performing artist clients - not just for the issues that everyone has like smoking cessation, phobias, recovering from childhood traumas and even just relaxation hypnosis - but also with sessions tailored to the specific needs of people in the Arts. And I have especially loved researching how brain science and hypnosis affect the creative personality - particularly with those that perform in front of an audience.

Backstory

While my love affair with theatre started when I was about 3, I actually became interested in hypnosis when I was in the 4th grade - my father was getting his Masters in Psychology and was using hypnosis on family and friends, and I would listen outside his study door. I promptly went to school, hypnotized a friend, came home to proudly brag about it, and got my poor father pretty upset. (Even though hypnosis is quite safe, a 9 year old hypnotist is not a great idea!)

Training

I received my Certification from The National Guild of Hypnotists in 2001.  I was trained by hypnotherapist Gerald Kein of The Omnihypnosis Institute, who has a different and very effective approach to hypnosis. Mr. Kein has trained such noted hypnotherapists as Stephen Parkhill (author of the book ANSWER CANCER) and Cal Banyon of the Banyon Hypnosis Center (author, with Kein, of the book HYPNOSIS AND HYPNOTHERAPY, and creator of the 5-Path and 7-Path approaches to hypnotherapy, based on Gerry’s teachings).

Member of the National Guild of Hypnotists since 2001

About Hypnosis with Me

Hypnosis is a very powerful tool for change (as long as the client truly desires change). Many people have strange ideas about hypnosis, though, such as a hypnotist having control over one’s mind. Actually, hypnotists act as guides while YOU do the work - people go into natural trance states all the time without even realizing it. Hypnosis allows you to use an induced natural trance state to make changes to the way your brain processes information - moving past old ideas that “you can’t” to the deep belief that you “can” and will! A good hypnotist can help you to safely accomplish lasting change in your habits and beliefs. I work with everything that other hypnotists work with, but additionally I offer sessions geared specifically to performers, using terminology and visualizations that we naturally respond to, like enhanced learning and memorization capabilities, and skills such as “instant” self-confidence that you can activate with a subtle gesture of your hand to use for auditions, public speaking, or any situation in which nerves can play a part.
