Marc J. Wagner’s research into ways he could help his clients with more than a cookie-cutter approach to hypnotherapy led him to adopt the concept of combining Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with hypnotherapy. Presently used to create subconscious change in an individual in the form of new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behavior or feelings about a past or current experience, hypnotherapy is generally considered an aid to psychotherapy or counseling.

To achieve a heightened state of awareness, Wagner, a certified NLP master and instructor in Southwest Florida, employs the use of guided relaxation, intense concentration and focused attention.

NLP is a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behavior and subjective experiences—especially patterns of thought—underlying them. It is a system of alternative therapy which seeks to educate people about self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behavior.

What Wagner now calls the “perfect marriage” provides him the opportunity to offer his clients a more effective way to communicate directly with the subconscious mind. “I wanted to do more than read to a client from a standardized script,” he shares. “My experience continues to show me that this methodology produces favorable results for individuals who have an authentic desire to achieve success with issues such as smoking cessation, pain management, weight loss, insomnia and an array of addictions and the self-confidence to achieve personal goals.” Wagner offers a recording of each session and a transcript of the affirmations tailored to each individual’s needs at an additional cost.

According to Wagner, we do not directly perceive reality. “Rather, we experience life through a set of unconscious perceptual filters which have developed over time through interactions with our culture, family, education system and other influences,” he explains. Initially, Wagner consults with a client to determine their needs, as well as the filters that are limiting success with their personal goals. “What I discover, I turn into language for the affirmations I deliver in a series of sessions,” he says.

In addition to NLP, Wagner is also is a certified hypnotherapy instructor, clinical hypnotherapist, master life coach, biofeedback and neurofeedback practitioner and holistic health specialist. He teaches and certifies individuals in Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy.
