About Me
My name is Dave Hyldig of HypThink Positive Personal Change and Growth.
My mission is to help you Build Resiliency Now!
I am trained in some of the most up-to-date evidence-based resiliency techniques to help you thrive in difficult times and I have studied positive psychology and coaching for health methods.
I am certified in Clinical Hypnosis through the Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy, trained in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), as well as an active member in a number of professional Hypnotherapist groups. These professional bodies all continue to learn from one other and share strategies and tools learned from the great innovators of the past and the current innovators of today.
I belong to a number of communities where Coaches and Certified Therapists share new trainings regularly to stay current on important issues and strategies to help others thrive.
I have previously worked with Pain BC on an advisory panel for the development of Live Plan Be+ a province wide expansion of services for people living with pain.
I also have a contract in place to do coaching by phone for people living with pain under the Coaching For Health program within Pain BC that teaches self management and encourages abilities to change behaviors that impact health.
I am committed to life long learning and am honored to be able to share what I have learned to help people have better lives.
Why HypThink?
Hyp = Hypnosis, a kind of thinking that focusses on the unconscious processes of the mind.
Think = using the cognitive approach that is Positive Psychology and Coaching.
Together, HypThink allows you to use your conscious and unconscious mind to get the most out of your life!
Hypnosis allows a kind of efficient deeper learning through Non Sleep Deep Rest, as noted by Dr. Andrew Huberman, neuroscientist and tenured professor at Stanford University.
Positive Psychology Is Martin Seligman’s visionary science of well-being. The study of “what it is to be well” and to “live the good life” using scientific methods to determine what builds Authentic Happiness and Flourishing in life.
