Featuring Instantaneous Streaming Self Hypnosis For Weight Loss

LOS ANGELES, CA: Ronald Soderquist, Ph.D., director of Westlake Hypnosis, is offering a web based program claiming it will help users effortlessly lose weight free -- right on the web. This is the first instance of a comprehensive self-hypnosis program created for the public and offered free via streaming media on the World Wide Web. The program was designed by Soderquist and his partner, Lynn DiSarro, M.A., M.F.T., and patterned after their hypnosis work with the National Institutes of Health. The program uses a form of medical hypnosis used in hospitals and pain clinics. Says Soderquist, This kind of hypnosis is approved by the American Medical Association and proven to be helpful and effective. Visitors to www.hypnopower.com need nothing but a comfortable seat and their computer. There's no cost and no obligation. We offer five days of weight loss free to prove how valuable this system is. Our goal is to teach people how to conquer food and cravings and get them started on weight management for a healthier, more fulfilling life."

Because so many people are misinformed about how medical hypnosis works, Dr. Soderquist says he wanted to give people a chance to experience it in the safety of their own homes. Ms. Di Sarro emphasizes that patients remain awake and in control when using this medical hypnosis technique. We know you're skeptical but we've personally helped hundreds of people lose weight with this type of therapy and weve trained over 100 therapists nationally," DiSarro said. As odd as this system may sound at first, realize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has supported this modality with three different federal grants totaling over $1,000.000 for which we actually wrote or edited most of the hypnotic scripts. The result is a tested system of self-help now available to individuals immediately for simple, drug-free weight management. We know it works and we can prove it to you right over the web."

The free program is a 5 day course. It takes just about 10 minutes a day. When people visit the site they receive the first module, delivered in streaming audio. Visitors are instructed to listen to Dr. Soderquist teach them about a different way to deal with food and eating. Then his gentle voice guides them into self hypnosis to conquer urges, cravings, incorrect portion sizes and gain a new, healthy control over their diet. Once completed, the visitor is presented with a link for the second session and instructed to wait a day before beginning that session. All five days of the free program are delivered in this manner.

Ronald Soderquist, Ph.D., has served as Director of Counseling or faculty member at four colleges and graduate schools, including the Philips Graduate Institute, Encino, CA., a fully accredited graduate school offering both Master's and Doctorate degrees. He is a Clinical Member of both the American and California Association of Marriage & Family Therapists, has published research in the Journal of Psychiatry and has participated in research funded by the National Institutes of Health. He has lectured on hypnosis and counseling in the U.S., Australia, Russia, England and Canada.

Lynn Di Sarro, M.A., M.F.T. (Marriage & Family Therapist), In private practice for 19 years, has conducted training in hypnosis and therapy and has participated in research funded by the National Institutes of Health. She was chosen by the ProGenesis Corporation to write and record CD's for the HabitEX Weight Management program and for the HabitEX Stop Smoking program, both available through the hypnopower.com web site. She also wrote the script for the CalmParenting CD set and is currently co-authoring the CD script for an adolescent smoking cessation program, to be tested by the NIH. She has been a member of the California Association of Marriage & Family Therapists since 1983. Ms. Di Sarro's specialties include treatment for weight control, anxiety, marital therapy, communication skills and relationship issues. Along with her partner, Dr. Soderquist, she has supervised over 100 therapists who use the HabitEX Weight Control System.
