What is Holistic Hypnotherapy?
Mary:
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to create a state of relaxation, focused attention, and increased awareness. During this state, a hypnotherapist guides you to make positive changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Holistic hypnotherapy is a comprehensive therapeutic approach that integrates traditional hypnotherapy techniques with a focus on the whole personality. Unlike conventional hypnotherapy, which may target specific symptoms or behaviors with direct suggestions, holistic hypnotherapy addresses the underlying root causes of issues to promote overall well-being and long-lasting change.
You:
Why does hypnotherapy work?
Mary:
Your subconscious mind is safeguarded by something like a firewall. When an idea doesn't align with what exists in your subconscious it's dismissed. Or the other way around, you subconsciously prove what it knows already.

The original role of this mechanism is to maintain the stability of your personality and save the brain energy.
That's why it feels so challenging when we try to make some behavioral changes based on willpower. Even if they are meant to fulfill our life.

For example, someone wants to earn more, but deeply believes, that will fail anyway. So when they try, they fail and stop trying. Another option is when they unconsciously allow themselves to have it - so they have it, sooner or later, because they keep going for what they believe in.

Another example, they feel anxious and stressed presenting their ideas to a larger group because of one situation during the school years.

Or more complicated, someone can not stop procrastinating around new business ideas, because they are afraid of the responsibility behind their success, and blame loved ones for not supporting them properly.

Origins of unwanted behaviors and beliefs.
Your subconscious mind directs your reactions based on past experiences. Often, they were created when you were too young to understand the long-term consequences of the unconscious decisions you made to cope with strong emotions, unfulfilled desires, or needs, or maybe you just grabbed someone else's idea of you or a collective idea in society. Today, these actions and ideas may no longer align with your needs or how you want to act. But because of this natural brain mechanism, you can't stop.

Through hypnosis, we can slightly relax this firewall, allowing negotiation with the subconscious. You can discover the emotional roots of your problems and address them, effectively neutralizing negative programming. Sometimes it looks like a detective story where you take the role of a main investigator to understand the reason and motive of your actions. By understanding underlying stones in detail, making change becomes much more easier.

This also explains why conventional coaching or therapy approaches often require much longer time.
you:
Will I experience difficult emotions or uncomfortable feelings during the Hypnotherapy Session?
Mary:
Working through feelings is often a crucial step in long-term growth and transformation. But when in a Hypnotic State emotions feel less intense, and still lead to significant emotional relief.

I gently guide you through the process in a way that is manageable and comfortable. Navigating through the session provides a pleasant release, and encourages you to move forward with a new level of resilience and practical knowledge.

Meanwhile, the ultimate goal is not to feel emotions but to achieve lasting change in feelings, actions, and personal growth. You will not necessarily have intense feelings.

After the session, you will feel refreshed, with a sense of clarity, and joyful, already with integrated insights into your daily life. The session takes around 3 hours, but it often feels like 30 min.

Safe Environment:
Besides being naturally caring and empathetic, I am trained to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your subconscious mind without fear or judgment. You are always in control and can stop the session at any time. So we can discuss your feelings and when you are ready, continue.
If it feels right for your safety and convenience, we can do a video recording of the session, it's strictly anonymous and protected. But with it, you can come back any time to remember the tools we used, to practice self-hypnosis.

Processing Tools: You will be equipped with tools to process and manage emotions during and after sessions.
You:
What does the session process look like?
Mary:
During your sessions, you'll have the opportunity to relax in the comfort of your own home. Simply put on your headset, find a comfortable spot to sit or lay back, and let the journey begin.

Our sessions typically involve a series of steps designed to guide you into a state of deep relaxation and focused attention, I provide tailored suggestions and imagery to address your specific goals and reinforce positive beliefs and behaviors. It feels like you daydreaming while speaking with me.
You:
Is Hypnosis safe? Will I be able to remember what happens during the session?
Mary:
Throughout the session, you are in complete control, but much more focused and aware. You can speak, move, and interact with me at any time. You'll remember what happens during the session, and we'll work together to ensure you feel comfortable and safe throughout the process.

It's a collaborative process, where your feelings and intuition serve as our compass, guiding us toward the most effective and beneficial path for you. I pay close attention to your body signals and responses, allowing me to better suit your needs.
You:
Is online as good as face-to-face?
Mary:
Online sessions can be just as effective as in-person sessions. Hypnotherapy requires you to participate actively. This is why the success of your session does not depend on whether I am physically present in the room. However, I will guide you at all times and ensure that you are having a comfortable experience.
You:
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Mary:
Most people can be hypnotized, but the level of suggestibility varies from person to person. A willingness to engage in the process can enhance your ability to enter a hypnotic state. The importance of therapeutic collaboration, including acknowledgment, acceptance, openness, trust, responsiveness, mutual respect, a shared effort, feedback, and more, cannot be missed.
You:
How many sessions will I need?
Mary:
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the issue being addressed. Some people experience significant improvement after just one session, while others may require eight sessions for more complex and lasting change.
You:
How Can I Prepare for a Session?
Mary:
Wear comfortable clothing. Ensure you are well-rested, and well-nourished. Have a clear intention or goal for the session. Be open-minded and willing to engage in the process.

Find a comfortable place where nobody can disturb you for 3 hours. Sit on a chair or sofa. Prepare your headset, fix the camera so I can see you, and charge your devices for a video call.
You:
What issues can hypnotherapy help with? Can hypnotherapy help with past traumas?
Mary:
Hypnotherapy can help with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, weight loss, smoking cessation, phobias, sleep problems, chronic pain, and more. It can also aid in improving self-esteem, confidence, and overall well-being.

Hypnotherapy can be effective in addressing and resolving past traumas, it can be done even without coming back to uncomfortable memories. By accessing the subconscious mind with metaphorical language, it can help process and release unresolved emotions and memories.
