My Story
My name is Tim Behrens, and I am grateful you have found your way here. I am a certified Master Hypnotist, studying at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI), one of the nation’s leading accredited programs for hypnotherapy. It has been an experience of a lifetime, learning so many new modalities and approaches that inform my practice…. Biofeedback, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), the power of metaphor and Therapeutic Imagery, and a broad understanding that, at it’s core, every successful modality, is about altering beliefs. If you believe something is possible, if you can feel it somatically, new doors will open, things that once felt impossible will start to show up in magical ways. My belief is that I am more aligned with who I am as a person when I am helping others discover who they are as well. It has been my great joy to see this path unfolding before me. And also my experience that creating lasting, meaningful change, is a challenging journey, one that requires support, community, discipline. And I bring all these tools, lessons, and more, to the table when working with you.
My background is a diverse one. My journey started many years ago with a degree in Psychology and Creative Writing. Along the way, I have been a musician, artist, podcaster, composer, designer, and have spent many years in corporate America. In 2018, my life changed quite suddenly, and dramatically, when I experienced an ‘energetic shift’ that forced me to reevaluate my life, my reality, the world we live in, everything. It put me on a healing path, one that longed for meaning and connection. I didn’t know what would come next, but I knew that ‘just surviving’ was not enough.
In the years that followed, I found myself facilitating online discussion groups during Covid, training in Authentic Relating Practices, building a mindfulness practice, stepping into a personal Reiki Tummo Practice, and immersing more and more into community. The commonality in all of this can be summed up by Mary Oliver’s quote. “What is it that you plan to do with this one wild and precious life?” That is the question that drives me, and one that I will ask you as well. Is there something that is keeping you from it? Some resistance or belief? Some habit or fear? Whatever it is, let’s work together to find a way forward, to start to support your subconscious mind in a way that aligns with your conscious intention.
Below are some of my certifications, credentials, accomplishments…. Please don’t hesitate to ask me about them, but ultimately, this journey is about you. Let’s book a free consultation and see if I’m the right person to support you in YOUR journey. I look forward to talking with you.
