Managing change is a challenge we face throughout our lifetime. We often resist it, causing more anxiety, or we respond inappropriately resulting in a less than positive result. As we matured, each of us developed coping mechanisms or habits for various issues or personal challenges we experienced. These coping mechanisms, which are often below the surface of our awareness, determine our approach to new situations we encounter. Right or wrong, we act automatically according to these unconscious habits. To feel better or to change the results, we need a new perspective to help us reframe how we view ourselves or the situation we face.

Using hypnosis and guided imagery, Transformative Living can help you overcome and/or manage difficult situations you find yourself facing resulting in a better quality of life, such as:

• Coping with the anxiety of a difficult medical diagnosis that may include invasive tests, surgery, pain, and treatment side effects.
• The need to change limiting or obstructive behavior or thinking patterns to improve issues such self-esteem, reduce or eliminate phobias, overcome fear, or increase performance.
• Lifestyle changes that impact our overall health and wellbeing, which may include smoking cessation, weight reduction, or compliance with physician’s directives.
• Coping with the stress of family and work challenges such as career change, financial downturn, marriage, divorce, or loss.
• Exploring life meaning and purpose which often comes about after surviving serious illness or accident, questioning of faith, or simply seeking more meaning in life’s everyday occurrences.

"I was referred to Dr. McDonald for issues related to phobias and anxiety. Since I have been working with her, I have made significant strides. My phobias made me almost housebound. In recent months, I have traveled to San Diego and flew to Dallas for a family reunion and wedding to give just a couple of examples of how Dr. Cynthia has helped me to take control and reclaim my life."
