Phone Sessions

 

If you are unable to come to a private session or workshop event, you may choose to have a phone session.

 

Dr. Walker has performed many sessions over the telephone for those times when an office visit is not practical.  Telephone sessions include counseling, coaching, and complete imagery  and hypnotherapy sessions.  Yes, hypnotherapy can be performed over the phone.  It is recommended that you have a headset, so that you can be hands free.

Many of our clients live in different parts of the world and although we have never met in person have experienced tremendous success with our approach.  Even our local clients regularly schedule telephone sessions so they can experience the benefits of personalized care while maximizing their time with  family and business. And of course, there is the occasional need to address life issues for those in the Coaching Program who want quick access to professional support.

 

Headset:
It's best if you have a headset with a microphone and sound for both ears. A single-ear model is adequate if you are in a relatively quiet environment. For best results it is important to use a high-quality "over-the-ear" headset. If there is background noise in your environment, you might even want to consider a headset with noise cancellation technology. 

 

 

LOW COST SOLUTION approximately $35 if purchased at store.

Radio Shack adapter and headset

This is a great low cost solution.  The Headset Control Module plugs into your phone jack and the headset into the module.  The volume control on the headset should be set to maximum.  Then use the volume control on the Headset module.  You will have to use a telephone to dial and then switch the headset on and hang up the phone. 

 

 

Speakerphone:
It is also possible to use a speakerphone instead of a headset if the environment is relatively quiet.  If you use a speakerphone, it must have a full-duplex capability.  Full duplex allows both sides of the telephone conversation to talk at the same time.  Inexpensive speaker phones, switch between one talker or the other and this is referred to as half duplex.  If you are not sure which you have you can perform a simple test.  Ask a friend to call you and play music in the background so it can be heard over your speakerphone.  If you have full duplex you should be able to talk so that your friend hears you and you still hear the music even while you are talking.  If instead the music cuts out while you are talking, your speakerphone is half duplex and will not work for these sessions.

All I have is a regular phone, will that work?
Yes, we have performed sessions with those that don't want to wait until they get their headset.  It is best if you can devise some way to have the phone supported.  This way, if you were to relax your arm and neck muscles, the phone would still be against your ear.  Some clients lay on the couch with the phone between their head and the sofa back.

Preparation:
Be sure and take care of any obvious distractions that might occur during the imagery portion of the session.  These might include taking care of any body needs such as a drink, a snack or a bathroom visit.  In addition you will want to be in a safe and quiet place where you will not be disturbed.  This may require getting an agreement from those living with you not to disturb you for anything less than an emergency for the next hour.  It's ok to have pet's in the room if they are quiet and will not disturb you.  It is common for animals such as dogs and cats to lick a persons face while they are deeply relaxed, which is obviously not desirable in this situation.  You might even want a glass of water nearby and a notepad and pen to jot down any instructions that might be discussed or to make notes of anything discovered during an exploratory imagery session.  The most important thing is to view this as a nurturing opportunity for yourself and to have everything in order and handy so that you can simply relax.
