About your instructor; Linda Sevilla (Previously Campbell)

​

I have been working as a Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist since 1999.

I love helping clients solve their mysteries – – delving into what’s behind their fear or phobia, clearing up the psychosomatic portion of physical discomfort, soothing a mind that is suffering from anxiety, OCD or post traumatic stress disorder, uncovering the real reason a client is hanging onto weight or their cigarettes – – – to name a few.

I have helped literally 1000′s of clients turns their lives around and achieve their goals.

Having been a teacher in my “former life", I opened  the Horizon Center  in 2004. Since that time, I have provided quality, hands-on training that is focused on doing client centered work and uncovering and addressing the cause of the client's symptoms as opposed to merely suggesting them away. I love teaching hypnotherapy and am always excited to see how my students change and grow as they move through the program. it is impossible to study hypnotherapy without also beginning to look at yourself, your own life, your history, your beliefs, your relationships Students often remark that even more inspiring than the in depth, eye-opening curriculum is the amount of personal growth that they experience while going through the course. The Horizon Center has been recognized by the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association for Excellence in Hypnotherapy training. 

I was a frequent guest on the AM radio talk show “Talk It Over” with host Terry Spence, appearing 52 times to talk about different aspects of hypnosis. I also did live hypnosis demonstrations on The Zone 91.3 helping cohost of the morning show, Jason Lamb, quit smoking.

I have been invited to speak and run workshops at the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association Hypnotherapy conference and the Association of Registered Clinical Hypnotherapists  Conference and am the author of an upcoming book on Hypnotherapy. I am the founder and past president of the Canadian Association of Counseling Hypnotherapists and Educators (CACHE) 

Below are the pre-suppositions I hold about my clients. This may give you a sense of what I teach and what I am like as a therapist.

Presuppositions:

• People are not broken. Therefore, they do not need to be fixed.

• We all come into the world perfect—then life happens

• It’s not the events in our lives that causes us our problems, it is the meaning we attach to them.

• A person’s behavior (symptoms) always make sense when you understand the context in which they were formed. Get curious.

• People are not their behavior. Accept the person. Change the behavior.

• There is a positive intention behind every behavior, no matter how dysfunctional it appears from the outside.

• There is no reality; only perspective.

• We all have our own unique model of the world. You job is to understand your client’s model and work with it.

• Everything in our environment is a result of what is in our mind.

• We are in charge of our own minds; therefore, we are in charge of our results and external circumstances.

• Your client has all of the resources within them that are needed to resolve their symptoms.

• You do not need to have all the answers.

• There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.

Aside from being a hypnotherapist, I am also a remote viewer, the co-founder of the Ascension Center for Higher Consciousness and I am an artist who creates jewelry from my art.
