Who is Susana Padilla-Burns and what is the difference between a Certified Master Hypnotist and a Certified Hypnotherapist? by​ ​Susana​ ​Padilla-Burns​-​ ​on​ ​September​ ​2017

So​ ​many​ ​moments​ ​in​ ​life​ ​become​ ​intricate​ ​details​ ​of​ ​the​ ​kaleidoscopic​ ​mosaic​ ​that​ ​is​ ​life.

One of my greatest defining moments in life was when I made the decision to leave a comfortable job near my home and venture off to become an Innkeeper for a small farm on the shore in Northern California. I couldn't have known at the time that ​That experience​ ​would​ ​change​ ​my​ ​life​ ​and​ ​open​ ​doors​ ​to​ ​a​ ​new​ ​way​ ​of​ ​living.

As an Innkeeper I had the opportunity to travel to various idyllic places on the Pacific coast, and during those times - I'd work to create a standard for the space because I believed​ ​the​ ​guests​ ​were​ ​coming​ ​in​ ​to​ ​experience​ ​a​ ​special​ ​moment​ ​in​ ​their​ ​lives.

The world really is a stage and I was responsible for maintaining the appearance and consistency​ ​of​ ​this​ ​particular​ ​set.

The​ ​“Vacation​ ​Set”​ ​for​ ​travelers.

For ten years I traveled and met people all around. I sat in patios and cafes in foreign villages and spoke with locals and travelers alike. I read, I wrote, attended symphonic performances, and I passionately studied all topics of interest, but eventually my time to leave the industry came. Interestingly enough, it came to me in the form of a fall at work -​ ​eight​ ​months​ ​after​ ​having​ ​given​ ​birth​ ​and​ ​one​ ​month​ ​into​ ​the​ ​job.

When I found out my fall was going to keep me from ever returning to my career, I had to reinvent myself. I felt it was time to follow my passion. I felt like I had been given a chance​ ​to​ ​do​ ​what​ ​my​ ​heart​ ​said​ ​to​ ​do.

In all the years of working in hotels and inns I discovered people really want a sanctuary.

There is not enough silence in our world anymore. Even if we want to get away we have to put headphones on - ​it's never just nothing anymore. I wanted to bring the relaxation and rejuvenation that vacations bring, that nature provides to people who couldn't get away. In 2011 I had the idea for meditation spaces to be designed under my brand, Everybuddha​.

I wanted to design spaces for inner peace and bring silence to people no matter where they were. Combining my interests and passions, I realized Interior Design would be the best way to make my visions a reality. I studied at the Interior Design Institute in Newport Beach, CA. While there I was learning how to interpret a whole other way of creating space and expressing vision through dimensions on a plane. Drafting,

perspective, sketching … light design! All these classes spoke to me, but in different ways.​ ​I​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​the​ ​light​ ​within​ ​the​ ​person​ ​and​ ​the​ ​dimensions​ ​of​ ​their​ ​mind.

The​ ​contents​ ​of​ ​the​ ​spaces​ ​within.

It was interior design that I was being called to, but not in a literal sense. It was in the realm​ ​of​ ​the​ ​True​ ​Interior.​ ​The​ ​individual's​ ​inner​ ​mind​ ​space.

How do we create it? How can we go within and create a space for positive suggestions to come in and replace the negative thought patterns that have defined results for so long?

Create​ ​an​ ​internal​ ​space​ ​for​ ​change​ ​to​ ​come​ ​in​ ​and​ ​remain.

That​ ​was​ ​how​ ​Hypnotherapy​ ​became​ ​the​ ​next​ ​natural​ ​step​ ​for​ ​me.​ ​It​ ​wasn't​ ​long​ ​before​ ​I registered​ ​for​ ​classes​ ​at​ ​HMI,​ ​the​ ​Hypnosis​ ​Motivation​ ​Institute​ ​in​ ​Tarzana,​ ​Ca.​ ​I​ ​took​ ​to it​ ​immediately​ ​as​ ​it​ ​was​ ​yet​ ​another​ ​interpretation​ ​of​ ​space​ ​and​ ​this​ ​was​ ​how​ ​I​ ​was​ ​going to​ ​help​ ​people​ ​find​ ​their​ ​silence​ ​and​ ​space​ ​within.

While​ ​there​ ​I​ ​absorbed​ ​all​ ​the​ ​information​ ​I​ ​could​ ​get​ ​and​ ​took​ ​over​ ​170​ ​hours​ ​of specialties​ ​above​ ​the​ ​720​ ​required​ ​to​ ​graduate.​ ​I​ ​would've​ ​graduated​ ​in​ ​ten​ ​months rather​ ​than​ ​the​ ​year​ ​timeframe,​ ​but​ ​I​ ​was​ ​having​ ​such​ ​a​ ​great​ ​time​ ​that​ ​I​ ​stretched​ ​out the​ ​last​ ​two​ ​months​ ​just​ ​to​ ​spend​ ​time​ ​at​ ​the​ ​campus.​ ​The​ ​support​ ​from​ ​staff​ ​and colleagues​ ​was​ ​fantastic​ ​and​ ​I​ ​began​ ​to​ ​see​ ​clients​ ​with​ ​confidence​ ​as​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​the residency​ ​began,​ ​six​ ​months​ ​into​ ​the​ ​program.

One​ ​of​ ​the​ ​specialties​ ​that​ ​helped​ ​me​ ​the​ ​most​ ​was​ ​the​ ​Therapeutic​ ​Imagery​ ​Master training​ ​I​ ​received.​ ​That​ ​course​ ​was​ ​designed​ ​to​ ​speak​ ​to​ ​the​ ​specific​ ​receptiveness​ ​of each​ ​individual's​ ​subconscious.​ ​Having​ ​this​ ​specific​ ​knowledge​ ​and​ ​ability​ ​is​ ​what​ ​helps the​ ​clients​ ​gain​ ​the​ ​most​ ​benefit​ ​during​ ​our​ ​sessions.

With​ ​Therapeutic​ ​Imagery,​ ​clients​ ​create​ ​personal​ ​spaces​ ​within​ ​that​ ​bring​ ​relief, calmness,​ ​comfort​.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​a​ ​very​ ​personal​ ​and​ ​empowering​ ​experience.

We​ ​design​ ​spaces​ ​within​ ​and​ ​create​ ​from​ ​there.

A​ ​Certified​ ​Hypnotherapist​​ ​is​ ​someone​ ​who​ ​has​ ​completed​ ​the​ ​required​ ​hours​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a Master​ ​Hypnotist​ ​and​ ​done​ ​an​ ​additional​ ​200​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​supervised​ ​clinical​ ​experience, according​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Hypnotherapist​ ​Union.​ ​This​ ​comes​ ​to​ ​roughly​ ​720​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​education and​ ​supervised​ ​practice.

A​ ​Consulting​ ​Hypnotist​​ ​is​ ​someone​ ​who​ ​is​ ​Certified​ ​through​ ​the​ ​National​ ​Guild​ ​of Hypnotists.​ ​To​ ​become​ ​a​ ​CH,​ ​one​ ​must​ ​complete​ ​100​ ​hours​ ​of​ ​training​ ​and​ ​continue​ ​to receive​ ​CEUs​ ​in​ ​related​ ​topics.

Both​ ​the​ ​Hypnotherapists​ ​Union​ ​and​ ​the​ ​National​ ​Guild​ ​of​ ​Hypnotists​ ​maintain​ ​a​ ​code​ ​of ethics,​ ​hold​ ​their​ ​Hypnotists​ ​to​ ​a​ ​standard​ ​of​ ​integrity​ ​and​ ​offer​ ​opportunities​ ​for further​ ​training.​ ​Some​ ​states​ ​do​ ​not​ ​allow​ ​the​ ​title​ ​of​ ​Hypnotherapist​ ​and​ ​prefer​ ​for practicing​ ​Hypnotists​ ​to​ ​be​ ​called​ ​Consulting​ ​Hypnotists.

So​ ​would​ ​you​ ​know​ ​which​ ​Hypnotherapist​ ​or​ ​Consulting​ ​Hypnotist​ ​to​ ​select?

Clients​ ​need​ ​to​ ​feel​ ​comfortable​ ​and​ ​understood​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​relax​ ​and​ ​trust​ ​their Hypnotist.

During​ ​a​ ​Hypnosis​ ​session​ ​with​ ​me,​ ​the​ ​client​ ​is​ ​completely​ ​aware​ ​of​ ​their​ ​surroundings and​ ​are​ ​able​ ​to​ ​open​ ​their​ ​eyes,​ ​move,​ ​and​ ​speak.​ ​People​ ​will​ ​experience​ ​a​ ​great​ ​sense​ ​of calm​ ​and​ ​relaxation​ ​in​ ​the​ ​body​ ​while​ ​their​ ​minds​ ​become​ ​more​ ​focused,​ ​and​ ​attuned​ ​to what​ ​they​ ​are​ ​searching​ ​for.

Often​ ​clients​ ​will​ ​come​ ​in​ ​and​ ​believe​ ​they​ ​cannot​ ​visualize​ ​or​ ​be​ ​hypnotized,​ ​but​ ​soon discover​ ​otherwise.​ ​In​ ​the​ ​first​ ​session,​ ​we​ ​set​ ​aside​ ​about​ ​90​ ​minutes​ ​to​ ​go​ ​over​ ​any questions​ ​about​ ​hypnosis​ ​and​ ​go​ ​over​ ​the​ ​reason​ ​for​ ​the​ ​sessions.​ ​The​ ​first​ ​induction​ ​is the​ ​most​ ​important​ ​one​ ​because​ ​we​ ​create​ ​the​ ​foundation​ ​to​ ​build​ ​upon​ ​for​ ​future sessions,​ ​and​ ​it​ ​leaves​ ​a​ ​space​ ​of​ ​mental​ ​clearing​ ​the​ ​client​ ​can​ ​access​ ​again​ ​should​ ​they wish​ ​to​ ​between​ ​sessions​ ​or​ ​even​ ​after​ ​therapy​ ​is​ ​complete.

Preparing​ ​for​ ​a​ ​session​ ​is​ ​also​ ​a​ ​key​ ​for​ ​ensuring​ ​the​ ​best​ ​possible​ ​outcome.​ ​As​ ​clients come​ ​to​ ​learn​ ​in​ ​session​ ​with​ ​me,​ ​diet​ ​will​ ​play​ ​a​ ​significant​ ​role​ ​in​ ​how​ ​we​ ​sleep​ ​to​ ​how we​ ​live;​ ​so​ ​naturally,​ ​how​ ​we​ ​go​ ​into​ ​Hypnosis​ ​will​ ​also​ ​be​ ​affected​ ​by​ ​diet.​ ​A​ ​diet​ ​high​ ​in sugars​ ​and​ ​carbs​ ​can​ ​make​ ​the​ ​body​ ​take​ ​a​ ​long​ ​time​ ​to​ ​respond​ ​as​ ​we​ ​work​ ​to​ ​establish the​ ​Mind​ ​Body​ ​Connection.

During​ ​the​ ​session​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​for​ ​the​ ​client​ ​to​ ​speak​ ​may​ ​arise​ ​and​ ​they​ ​have​ ​the choice​ ​to​ ​speak​ ​or​ ​remain​ ​silent​ ​about​ ​the​ ​matter,​ ​either​ ​way,​ ​it​ ​will​ ​not​ ​hinder​ ​results.​ ​I provide​ ​clients​ ​with​ ​recordings​ ​to​ ​listen​ ​to​ ​between​ ​visits.​ ​This​ ​helps​ ​to​ ​reinforce​ ​the desired​ ​outcomes​ ​and​ ​help​ ​with​ ​other​ ​areas​ ​of​ ​concern​ ​should​ ​it​ ​be​ ​of​ ​benefit.

Specialties​ ​and​ ​Certifications Many​ ​times​ ​while​ ​attending​ ​classes​ ​at​ ​the​ ​Hypnosis​ ​Motivation​ ​Institute,​ ​professors would​ ​tell​ ​us​ ​that​ ​the​ ​specialties​ ​would​ ​choose​ ​us​ ​and​ ​this​ ​was​ ​in​ ​part​ ​because​ ​of​ ​the​ ​life experiences​ ​we​ ​had​ ​overcome​ ​and​ ​could​ ​now​ ​speak​ ​of​ ​with​ ​experience​ ​and​ ​a perspective​ ​of​ ​understanding.

With​ ​that​ ​understanding​ ​I​ ​took​ ​on​ ​courses​ ​that​ ​covered​ ​not​ ​only​ ​some​ ​of​ ​the​ ​things​ ​I had​ ​experienced​ ​firsthand,​ ​but​ ​also​ ​through​ ​friends​ ​and​ ​family​ ​members.​ ​I​ ​lived​ ​with​ ​a parent​ ​who​ ​had​ ​PTSD​ ​and​ ​while​ ​learning​ ​about​ ​it,​ ​I​ ​realized​ ​that​ ​I​ ​too​ ​had​ ​experienced​ ​it when​ ​my​ ​son​ ​died​ ​in​ ​2000.
