Hypnotherapy is a transformational psychology therapy modality — it considers & transforms mind, body, & spirit. It evolved from the depth psychology work of early psychologist, Carl Jung — by engaging & exploring our subconscious selves in our healing work.
It involves you being guided into a deeply relaxed trance state – the naturally-occurring state between asleep and awake. This is a state that everyone experiences, where your brain waves fluctuate in the alpha to theta range. (We can also reach this state while meditating or in prayer.) It is in this state that your conscious mind more seamlessly connects & can collaborate with your subconscious towards clarifying & releasing stubborn mental, emotional, behavioral, relational, & physical patterns of concern.
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy is a specific hypnotherapy treatment script clinically designed by the co-founders ofthe Wellness Institute, psychotherapists Diane Zimberoff and David Hartman.
What makes it heart-centered is the script’s emphasis on grounding the healing process — the work of subconscious exploration & emotional experiencing — in your unique mental & spiritual resources that offer empowerment & love. One such resource is your uniquely defined Spiritual Connection.
-
Mind control — All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, meaning you are in conscious, wakeful control of & through the entire process. You can always choose to reject hypnotic suggestions.
Therapy while asleep — You are guided into a trance state, between awake & asleep. Everyone experiences this state, where your brain waves fluctuate in the alpha to theta range. And, in this state, you are receptive & focused.
Magic — It is a scripted mind-body-spirit treatment modality, with notable beneficial effects (in research done across fields), that is often used alongside other treatments.
Relaxation & Role-playing — It’s a targeted experience to access the subconscious (it’s memories) through suggestion to facilitate change.
Hypnotherapy Is For You If:
Your MIND…
→ is deeply insecure, dreading each day
→ has fearful, stressful, grief-filled or traumatic thoughts on repeat — from lingering wounds
→ feels hurt, unappreciated, or invisible in relationship
→ is filled with worry, guilt, or shame, triggering anxiety
→ is just stumbling in making choices to progress you forward
→ is in need of a new perspective on your concern
Your BODY…
→ feels unable to relax, carries a lot of unmet, unspoken needs
→ carries notable tension in areas / chronic, unexplainable conditions
→ has an overanxious nervous system
→ finds comfort in co-dependent relationships
→ is needing & overly turning to comfort in unhealthy habits — smoking, drinking, overeating
Your SPIRIT…
→ feels unfulfilled, aimless, lost, unsure of your place in the world
→ is weighed down by past experiences, unsure about the future
→ sees & feels the weight of the struggles of others across the world today
→ is open to trying a spiritual healing approach for your concern
→ feels connected to a good-natured force in the world — a deity, nature, person, animal
Hypnotherapy Is NOT For You If:
Your MIND…
→ cannot clearly see beyond fear, grief, trauma, or stress
→ is unable to manage hostility, paranoid mistrust, or a grasp on reality
Your BODY…
→ feels hypervigilant & dissociative from past traumas
→ fears being overwhelmed by your emotions, so would rather suppress or avoid them somehow
Your SPIRIT…
→ feels utterly disconnected from a sense of faith or hope
→ is deeply struggling with its reason to live
*IF THIS IS YOU, CONSIDER INDIVIDUAL MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY or A HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE: OUTPATIENT TREATMENT
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
– Carl Jung, Psychologist
For Your Stubborn Concerns:
Hypnotherapy to get to the subconscious root of the loneliness, guilt, shame, fear, sadness, &/or anger that are on repeat in your mind & heart moment-to-moment, disrupting your behaviors & choices towards your goals in life — towards clarity & lightness in your mind, body, spirit, & life.
Hypnotherapy to get to the subconscious root of your co-dependent patterns in relationship. Examine & shift your current, unhealthy relationship dynamics in the light of your past, (often) early childhood experiences towards your emotional lightness & alignment.
Whether your habit is behavioral — like an addiction to a substance, food, purging, etc. — or physical — like chronic muscle tension, headaches, or other unexplainable physical condition — there is a subconscious root that hypnotherapy can uncover & shift towards your optimal physical capacity.

Heart-Centered
Hypnotherapy Process
1
You are guided into trance state through hypnotic suggestion which, experientially, simply is guided meditation or visualization.
Once in trance, you are able to work collaboratively with both your subconscious & conscious minds.
INDUCTION
2
You call in spiritual resources for guidance & healing, including your Wise Adult & your Spiritual Connection.
Your Wise Adult is a version of you who has made wise decisions for you in the past. Your Spiritual Connection is your unique interpretation of a benevolent force.
RESOURCING
3
You are guided through Age Regression(s) where you connect your current concern with (up to two) past experiences from earlier in your life from which your current concern originates.
AGE REGRESSION
4
CORRECTIVE EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE
You are then therapeutically guided, as you consciously return to & re-experience these Age Regressions, to express your past emotional wounds in a healthy manner, releasing them from your subconscious.
5
SUBCONSCIOUS REPROGRAMMING
You are then guided to re-process your past experiences with new meaning that will inform your current beliefs & behaviors, offering the possibility of a richer future less impeded by your presenting concern.
6
“WAKING UP”
Once the healing work is complete for the session, you are guided by hypnotic suggestion back to a more wakeful state, now able to integrate and practice your new belief systems and behaviors.
What makes hypnotherapy VS stage hypnosis different?
Hypnotherapy FAQ
1
Stage hypnosis is for entertainment — for evoking reactions in an audience. Hypnotherapy is therapeutic hypnosis, for facilitating personal change in a safe & respectful setting & manner.
How does hypnosis/hypnotherapy work?
2
You are guided into hypnotic trance by scripted prompts to breathe, relax, & visualize. While in trance your conscious mind & subconscious can connect more seamlessly to collaborate through the hypnotherapy process towards your therapy goals. Since the subconscious mind is extremely suggestible & is bombarded through our lives with constant stimuli from our environments that can shape patterns in perception, belief, behavior, relationship, etc., hypnotherapy can be a powerful healing modality for concerns rooted in our subconscious.
What does the research say about hypnosis?
3
The fields of medicine, psychology, & dentistry have recognized hypnosis as a legitimate, evidence-based intervention.
Hypnotherapy has been shown in research to be effective in treating stress & anxiety disorders, trauma/dissociation (including from sexual abuse & war), mood-related (including depressive) arousal & behaviors, addictive behaviors (like substance use or gambling), codependency in relationships, eating disorders, irritating &/or self-destructive habits, even physical pain, chronic illness, & the birthing process* (*for women), especially when combined with other treatment methods, for children through adults.
What are the risks & benefits to hypnosis?
4
Hypnotherapy involves revisiting emotional wounds stored in subconscious memory, with the guidance of your facilitator. Possible, infrequent side effects of hypnotherapy*: headaches, anxiety, depression, insomnia, restlessness, depersonalization, derealization, dizziness, confusion, & intrusive imagery. *These risks are minimal with a competent facilitator & when the client understands they are in control & can communicate their inner experience with their facilitator.
The benefits are that these emotional wounds are more deeply released from the subconscious body, so that they no longer weigh on & stumble the conscious mind in the client’s day-to-day behaviors & choices. Clients often discover that each hypnotherapy session brings a deeper layer of healing through discovery of the previously repressed childhood and past life material to be resolved. As a result, compared to traditional “talk” therapy approaches, there is notable healing work that can be accomplished with hypnotherapy in a shorter time. It may take a single hypnotherapy session, or a number of hypnotherapy sessions, to release subconscious wounds, depending on the nature of your presenting concern & its origins.
What if I’m very analytical, & struggle with guided meditations/imagery?
5
A mind that can concentrate & notice patterns, & is self-aware, contributes well to the hypnotherapy process. There may just need be an openness & adjustment in your mental framework from rational, linear, tangible processes to the circular, subconscious hypnotherapy process.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Experiences vary, but are often familiar & ordinary to lived experience. Some feel deeply relaxed & restful, sometimes physically heavy, while others feel lighter & calm. You may find yourself become inwardly focused or more absorbed in what is happening. Some physiological signs of hypnotic trance are slowed & deepened breathing, sighs/yawns, increased blinking, & changes in body temperature or sense of time.
6
Can I get stuck in hypnosis? What if we disconnect in the middle of hypnosis?
7
Absolutely not. Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of mind that can occur seamlessly through the course of a day. If we disconnect during hypnosis, you will find that you can return naturally to ordinary alertness & then you can get back in touch with me by reconnecting to our virtual meeting room or by phone call.
What if I don’t want to do something in the session?
8
Then you do not have to. All hypnotic suggestions I pose to you in the hypnotherapy process are invitations that you can accept or decline, that are intended to target your concern. You always have autonomy & authority to speak, move, open your eyes, change position, ask a question, clarify a suggestion, or say no at any time.
Will I remember the session?
Usually, yes. You are conscious through the process & can remember most, if not all, of your session as you would any other therapy session or important conversation. While you may not consciously recall every word, your subconscious was an active recipient of the hypnotherapy treatment. As such, you can experience a lightness of ease from tension following each hypnotherapy treatment session.
9
Why do you structure hypnotherapy between a preparatory & integration phase?
10
I believe that having a touch-point before & after the heart-centered hypnotherapy intervention promotes your therapeutic benefit by offering you the time & space to be as fully receptive to the intervention on both conscious & subconscious levels.
Can I have hypnotherapy & mental health therapy at the same time?
11
It is acceptable to be receiving mental health care & seek hypnotherapy as an adjunct treatment intervention in the course of your healing journey. Your mental health treatment will have to conclude while your treatment with hypnotherapy takes place, & then can continue following the termination of hypnotherapy.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the concern you are bringing into therapy & how layered that concern is embedded in subconscious memory. Some concerns can shift quickly, with a single session. More complex issues, long-standing patterns, may benefit from multiple treatment sessions.
