Hypnotherapy

There are many misconceptions about hypnosis because the only exposure most people get is from stage performances. To better explain what hypnosis is, it’s important to differentiate between what it is not.

Under hypnosis, you cannot:

• Be made to do anything you don’t want to do

• Get “stuck” in trance (you can bring yourself out anytime)

• Lose awareness of what’s happening around you

Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness. It's similar to a meditative state, but with a direct line to your subconscious mind.

Hypnosis and meditation both create deep states of relaxation, but there’s a key difference: hypnosis is goal-oriented. Meditation helps quiet the mind and cultivate awareness, while hypnosis actively works with the subconscious to create specific changes.

Your subconscious is where most of your patterns, beliefs, and emotional reactions live. Think of it as an operating system that started running the moment you were born. Every experience you’ve had—good, bad, painful, joyful—has been logged and categorized as “safe” or “unsafe,” “good” or “bad.” Your subconscious mind’s only job is to keep you alive, which means it clings to whatever patterns it believes are necessary for your survival, even if those patterns are outdated or actively working against you.

That’s why change can feel so hard. 95% of your thoughts, actions, and emotions are driven by subconscious programming. So even when you consciously want to shift something—whether it’s a habit, a fear, or a belief about yourself, your subconscious has the final say once it's labeled something as a truth.

The Science Behind Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis works by guiding you into theta brainwave state, the same state you naturally enter right before falling asleep or during deep meditation. This is where deep learning, creativity, and subconscious rewiring happen. Studies using fMRI scans show that during hypnosis, the areas of the brain responsible for self-reflection and memory processing become more active, while areas linked to critical thinking and resistance quiet down. This is why hypnosis feels so natural. Your mind is more open to deeper insights and change.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, which mainly works through the conscious mind, hypnosis bypasses the critical, overanalyzing part of your brain and goes straight to the source. This is key, because your conscious mind is highly analytical and often skeptical. It loves to rationalize, overthink, and resist change. That’s why affirmations and willpower alone rarely create deep transformation. Hypnosis lets us speak directly to the part of your mind that actually runs the show.

How Hypnotherapy Creates Lasting Change

By guiding you into trance (a deeply relaxed but focused brainwave state), you can update beliefs, rewire responses, and release old narratives that don’t serve you anymore. When your internal programming shifts, your external reality follows.

Hypnosis peels back the outdated, conditioned layers that were never really yours to begin with, so you can finally embody the truest version of yourself.
