I recently completed training for Heart-centered Hypnotherapy I am in the process of getting certified.
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy is an experiential therapy that guides you into a relaxed state to access and explore the subconscious mind, uncovering emotions, memories, and beliefs influencing your current behavior. It focuses on deep self-exploration, bringing compassion and understanding to parts of yourself that may need healing.
Is Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy Right for You?
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy is an intense, immersive experience that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. It’s designed for individuals who are ready to explore their emotions deeply and face parts of themselves that may have been buried in the subconscious. This approach involves diving into your past experiences, emotions, and beliefs, allowing for a deeper understanding of how they influence your current behaviors and feelings.
Its for those with a willingness to be vulnerable and to experience the full range of emotions that can surface during this process. It’s best suited for individuals who are ready to explore unrecognized or overlooked emotions and who want to actively engage in their healing journey. If you are someone who finds value in exploring the mind, body, and soul connection and is prepared to address emotions that you may not be fully aware of, Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy may be a meaningful path for you. This innovative approach to healing moves beyond the confines of traditional therapy, offering you a path to delve deep into your subconscious mind, where hidden beliefs and wounds reside. It’s also a deeply spiritual approach to connecting with your true self.
Journey into Your Subconscious
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy involves being guided into a state of deep relaxation, allowing you to access your inner world and subconscious more fully. In this state, you can explore the roots of your behaviors, beliefs, and emotional responses. It’s a process of self-discovery that helps you understand how past experiences shape your present decisions and relationships.
Embracing Your Heart's Wisdom
What makes Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy so special is its focus on the heart – the seat of our emotions, compassion, and resilience. This therapy approach seeks to connect you with the deep well of strength and wisdom that resides within you. By tapping into this inner resource, you can heal old wounds, release self-limiting beliefs, and nurture yourself with the love and care you deserve.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Unlike traditional hypnosis, where suggestions are imposed from the outside, Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy is interactive and empowering. This process respects the mind-body-spirit connection, recognizing that healing involves not just the mind but the entire being. Through this holistic lens, you can address not only your mental struggles but also the physical and emotional layers that intertwine to create your lived experience.
Guided by Compassion and Understanding
Empowerment through Self-Discovery
As you progress through the sessions, you remain in control and fully aware, actively participating in your own healing journey. The goal is not just to address surface-level issues but to unearth the deeper truths that shape your reality. With each session, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, nurture self-compassion, and restore inner balance.
Ready to Begin Your Healing Journey?
A Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy session involves guiding you into a relaxed, focused state, similar to a meditative or deeply relaxed state, where you can access your subconscious mind more easily. Here’s what to expect during a typical session:
Before starting hypnotherapy, we don’t jump straight into exploring images or memories related to your concerns. In the first 3-5 sessions, we focus on guided meditations, mindfulness, managing emotions and introduce you to your nurturing parent (or Self-energy) during a guided meditation in a self loving and supportive way. This process helps you get comfortable with guided meditation and teaches you techniques to stay calm, connected, and present. There are several safety protocols in place to ensure that we don’t bring up any memories or emotions that could overwhelm you. While it can be emotional, the goal is to help you stay grounded in your body and feel secure throughout the process.
We begin by discussing the issues or emotions you want to work on. This helps set the focus for the session and ensures you feel grounded and supported as you begin the process.
I will guide you into a relaxed state using calming techniques, such as deep breathing guided visualization and brining in self energy or meditation to bring in nurturing parent concept to be with you during the session. This helps quiet the conscious mind and opens up access to your subconscious, where deeper emotions, memories, and beliefs reside.
Once in this relaxed state, we will focus on specific emotions related to the issue you wish to explore in the session—whether it's physical pain, like tension in your back, or emotional distress, such as anxiety about an upcoming event. We may also delve into memories or parts of yourself that could be influencing your current experiences. This is where the "heart-centered" aspect comes in, allowing you to connect with these emotions on a deeper level.
Unlike traditional hypnosis, Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy is interactive. You’ll be encouraged to express what you’re experiencing, which could include feelings, imagery, or memories. This helps in identifying underlying beliefs and emotional patterns that may be affecting your life.
During the session, you may be guided to work with various parts of yourself, including nurturing or protective parts, to facilitate healing and release old patterns. This part of the process can be emotional, as it allows you to confront and transform your experiences in a supportive, safe environment.
As the session concludes, you’ll be guided to anchor any positive insights, feelings, or affirmations that emerged during the process. This helps reinforce the changes and supports ongoing healing in your daily life.
At the session, we also bring in your nurturing part (what we call Self-energy in Internal Family Systems or IFS) to help care for the parts of you that surface. This nurturing presence acts as a compassionate guide, providing support and understanding to the wounded or protective parts that may emerge. By accessing this Self-energy, we work toward healing and integrating these parts, promoting a sense of inner balance and wholeness.
Ending Session:
After the session, we will briefly discuss your experience, and you’ll have time to reflect and integrate what surfaced. Each session is unique and tailored to where you are in your healing journey. This work can be intense and deeply emotional, so it’s important to approach it with a readiness for deep self-exploration.
Important Note:
I suggest 90 minutes and 30 minutes to resettle into the real world - not suggested to do in the middle of your work day!
