Flow Hypno

Ive had sleeping challenges for my entire adult life. After exhausting all efforts with Medical doctors, eastern medical doctors, acupuncturists, cognitive behavior therapy. ....just to name a few, I saw James. After two sessions and additional personal work at his suggestion, I am now sleeping without medis or alcohol. Thank you James More...

I have enjoyed two sessions with James this far.  In each session I learned a lot about myself in a safe and lovely setting.  He guided me on a journey back in time and space using my ancestral supports as helpers in this transformational process.  I came to James for support with kicking smoking once and for all.  There have been many times over the years where I did not smoke, however, I always seem to return to this ancient medicine of tobacco in some form or another to find some balance or motivation.  On my journey with James I was able to see the long line of smokers in my family on my Fathers side and see all the heartache that got us to where we are today.  I was able to learn new tools and understanding and develop a new belief in myself to continue my journey to be free of tobacco.  It has been two weeks-I'm smoke free and learning more about myself everyday.  This was not only a journey of self discovery but also of spiritual discovery and I am very grateful for James and his wisdom and guidance on my journey to a more authentic me.

I recently saw James for a decades long sleep issue, one that no other practitioner had been able to resolve. Not the MD, the sleep specialist, the Cognitive Behavior Therapist nor the Chinese acupuncturist to name but a few. I left each of their offices with them scratching their heads saying basically "I don't know why you can't sleep". Enter James. He listened to the history of my issue and the history of my personal search for wellness. He added to my arsenal of sleep hygiene and we delved deep into my subconscious to discover the kernel of Truth.  With James guidance, I have been able to reframe some long standing beliefs and I'm optimistic for the first time that true progress has been made.  The space he works out of, Southeast Sanctuary, is just that,  a warm, comforting sanctuary space that is perfect for this sort of hard work.  His attentive kindness is comforting and nurturing in a time of vulnerability.  Thank you James.

I was suffering with night terrors dreams and nightmares; and was not receiving the assistance that I was requesting from my doctor.  He was suggesting that I do sleep studies.  From what I was able to learn; night terrors usually affect children and although there could be changes to the sleep habits, the symptoms were not the result of sleep apnea.  I was becoming irritable, angry and always tired. I did some research and found that James Harrison of Flow Hypno and a certified hypnotist in Portland, Oregon, was recommended by other therapy providers.I sent him an email, and he called me immediately.  We talked for a bit over 30 minutes over the phone and I made an appointment  to see him.  He was welcoming, considerate, caring and truly motivated to help me.  I had never seen a hypnotist before and this was all new to me.  It really caused me to wonder if I had done the correct thing for me.  But, I also felt safe and comfortable.I cannot really explain what was happening as I was in a trance and receiving suggestions and questions from James.  He is very professional and even though if was all very strange, I was not worried or anxious.   My second visit was very different, and again, even though I was really not aware of what was happening; I just relaxed and let my mind direct my body.  After this second session, I was at peace mentally and even though I had dealt with getting rid of the negatives in my life in the first session; the second went even further.  It seems that my mind is directing my emotions and my body to work together to help me in my quest for healthy clarity and the removal of my negative and disruptive thoughts and habits!Again, it is hard form me to describe my two sessions with James; but I know that he has already helped me and for that I am very grateful.  I am no longer plagued with my nightly dreams and nightmares.  I awake refreshed and yes, even a bit excited about what the day will bring.Sincerely,Bill S.

I have been fortunate enough to work with James in the past and found his work exemplary. I am a hypnotist myself, and have gone to a variety of hypnotists to use this skill on myself, and was genuinely impressed by James' skill and knowledge base. As somebody who has spent a number of years learning and practicing that, this is not something I say lightly. I think James is a great hypnotist with a great mind, sense of humor, and very compassionate nature. I would absolutely utilize his services again and give him my highest recommendation. More...
