Joseph Scorselo
Psychologist | Hypnotist | Coach
I help clients to embrace their unique reality, access their personal resources, expand their perceptions, and set personal and professional goals that will deliver the results they want.
Hypnotherapy
We all suffer distress at certain times in our lives, when our emotional needs are not being met; perhaps we have suffered great loss, or tragedy, or we feel stuck, stressed, anxious, unable to change, or maybe it is simply because we fail to achieve our goals, and the life we live is not the life we desire.I employ hypnosis blended with cognitive and behavioral techniques to change unwanted patterns of behavior and beliefs at an unconscious level. You do not need to re-live your problems to change them. Rather than regressive therapy or analysis, I specialize in a solution-based approach focused on problem solving and helping you move forward in life.Working with me you will discover how to:― Eliminate anxiety and fears
― Put your feelings about the past behind you
― Remove stress
― Lift depression
― Improve personal and professional relationships
― Master your emotions and take charge of your lifeSpecialized areas of focus:
PTSD
Trauma
Phobias
IBS
Specific problems generally require two or three sessions only, and where a longer treatment is required, sessions rarely number more than 3 to 8. This is usually in cases where someone seeks ongoing personal development, has multiple issues they wish to deal with, or trauma and depression.
Coaching
Much of our behavioral patterns and beliefs are formed early in life at a time before our critical capacity has developed. If you are afraid of spiders, it probably has nothing to do with you or spiders. It is something you learned as a child or learned from a single negative experience. If you were told as a child that you were a lazy boy or girl who would not succeed in life, you probably will not succeed. Early training often creates false belief systems and a limited perception of who you are and what you are capable of becoming. The real you, the powerful you and the successful you must be self-determined and consciously developed.All positive growth and changes first occur on an internal level. You must eliminate behavioral patterns and beliefs that block you and limit your perception of both yourself and the world around you. Once you accomplish this you can develop self-trust and confidence and begin to shape the individual you want to be. Perception is projection: How you see yourself effects how you see the world around you. When you project a self-determined and real you, your perception of the world changes. This is called Owning Yourself, and once you own yourself you can shape and create the life you want.Coaching with me is based on the discovery of self and learning how to access and apply the resources you already possess to achieve your goals. Whatever your goals and desires may be, approaching them on your own terms and with an aware and determined mind is the only way to succeed.
Individuals who work with me want perform better and get better results on multiple levels of their life, or they want to move to the “Next Level”. My responsibility is one of connectivity: I assist you to link your passion in life to your goals, and our work is to help you discover and develop a new process through which you can achieve those goals.
Essential Workshops
Nobody needs to suffer from stress and anxiety, and Everybody must learn the skill of accessing and directing their emotional and intellectual resources.Therefore, I designed two essential online workshops, Stress Management and Self-Hypnosis (Two subjects that, in my opinion, are crucial skills for everyone to learn, and probably should be part of secondary school Curricula). Once you learn these skills you can lead a life free from the anxieties that that come with stress and become far more effective at achieving your goals in life.The workshops are built to provide you with a multilevel and complete learning experience. You will be able to share your progress and questions with other workshop participants, direct questions related to your personal experience to my associates and me and I will provide extended guidance throughout the entire process.
Our next online workshop, Stress Management, will start on November 15th, 2020 - The number of participants are limited. Please secure the spot here.
Relaxation sessions on Sundays
Relaxation is essential to everyone. In a relaxed state of mind and body we are less likely to drift into negative, anxiety provoking thoughts and feelings. Our body feels better, tension and stress are gone, and our minds are open to the pursuit of more positive and fulfilling endeavors.Every Sunday at 20:00 CET I host an online RELAXATION session. You are welcome to join!
How it works
I will guide you through progressive relaxation. Beginning with your arm we will place your awareness and attention on every area of your body. Once you are aware of the feeling in each area you will direct that area to relax, and it will relax. As we move through each area you will become more aware of the change in how you feel, at a certain point your conscious mind (working memory) will relax, and the voice in your head (your ego) will become silent. You will feel as if you are drifting. All of you and everything will feel peaceful, tranquil and completely relaxed.Complete relaxation takes thirty-minutes. When we finish the process, you will feel wide awake, comple-tely alert, and full of energy. Should you fall asleep during the process enjoy it, you probably needed to rest. You will remember the entire process and how to induce this state anytime you wish.
The sessions are free and open to anyone. RSVP by sending me an email and get the link to the next event.

About me
If you commit to your goals and are willing to alter your behaviors, actions, and attitudes, you can succeed at whatever you choose in life…
After my studies, at a time when psychology was an elite service available to only those who could afford it, I spent several years developing small and accessible community mental health centers, and programs to re-integrate former prisoners back into society. I maintained a small private practice to pay my rent. Excluding lifestyle and economics there were surprisingly few differences between my clients and their struggles. The key to moving forward in life invariably depended on one’s ability to access personal resources and direct them in a manner that either solved the problem (whatever it was) or changed negative perceptions and beliefs of oneself.I moved forward in my life as a visual artist, but continued to maintain my small practice. The practice became less therapeutically formal and more coaching. At that time there was no coaching as we know it today. My artistic career and coaching experiences expanded my perceptions about what it means to be human and how it is possible to access the power and ownership of oneself. Fifteen years ago, I suffered an accident that left me partially blind for some time, ending my artistic career, but truly expanding my perceptions of what it means and how to achieve complete mastery of the self.

Stress Management
Stress is simply a reaction to a stimulus that disturbs our physical or mental balance. It is a condition each individual creates. You may not be able to control what causes stress, but you can certainly alter
the way you deal with it.Stress is an ever-present part of life. Learn to recognize different types of stress (acute, chronic and episodic) and understand the bio-chemistry, thoughts and feelings related to each. Some stress is good and essential for positive drive and motivation.Understand how stress affects you, and what is your role in creating stress. Develop the ability to deter-mine the right amount of stress for you. The goal is not a life without stress. The goal is to have the right amount of stress, stressors that are short-lived and manageable.Learn how to shift your attention away from the negative towards a more positive and proactive state of mind. Quickly identify and eliminate the immediate effects of negative stress. Once you understand that all stress begins and ends with you, you can easily develop the skills and techniques necessary to shift your thoughts and attention to becoming a more positive and solution-based-individual.
