Hypnotherapy

Feeling stuck or looking for an alternative to traditional therapy?

You might be carrying stress, anxiety, or paralyzing fear.

You may be struggling to concentrate, stay motivated, or build healthier habits, despite trying therapy, self-help books, and wellness routines.

Deep down, something is telling you: there must be another way. 

There is—and hypnotherapy might be it!

Try hypnosis to create lasting change.

At Power Talk Therapy, we support adults and couples in California with a wide range of online counseling services, including hypnotherapy as an alternative to create change from within.

Compared to traditional talk therapy, which works with the conscious mind, hypnotherapy helps you tap into the subconscious via hypnosis to uncover the root of your problems and spark transformation.

If you feel stuck, unmotivated, or ready to try a different approach, hypnotherapy might be right for you.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness marked by deep relaxation, focused attention, and an increased capacity to receive suggestions.

What is hypnotherapy or hypnosis therapy?

Hypnotherapy is a type of treatment that induces hypnosis to access your subconscious mind and create meaningful, lasting change.

Benefits of hypnotherapy include:

• Gaining insight into yourself
• Discovering the root cause of problems
• Shifting patterns and reframing limiting beliefs
• Adopting emotional and behavioral changes
• Decreasing negative emotions
• Strengthening confidence, motivation, and sense of control
• Developing healthier habits
• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Improving sleep
• Enhancing focus and concentration

What can hypnotherapy help with?

Hypnosis therapy can support you with various emotional, behavioral, and mental challenges, such as:

• Anxiety
• Stress
• Phobias or fears
• Weight loss or weight control
• Breaking harmful habits (e.g., quitting smoking)
• Trouble concentrating or finding motivation
• Procrastination, testing issues, or mental blocks

How does hypnosis therapy work?

1. Evaluation

We begin with a free evaluation to get to know each other, discuss your challenges, and explore how we can support you. This includes a suggestibility test to determine if hypnotherapy is the right approach for you.

2. Treatment plan

If hypnotherapy is not suitable, we will suggest other modalities that may be helpful. If it is, we’ll design a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and objectives.

For example, a weight loss plan may include sessions focused on confidence and motivation, weight control, and managing emotions.

3. Hypnotherapy sessions

During each session, your hypnotherapist will employ techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, mental relaxation, and guided imagery to induce a hypnotic state.

Once there, they will offer suggestions to help you move toward your goals or desired changes. Then, they will gradually bring you out of hypnosis to discuss any insights and next steps.

How can hypnotherapy help you?

Accessing the subconscious mind

Our minds are split into:

• Conscious mind: logical, rational, and analytical part that contains thoughts, memories, feelings, and sensations we are actively aware of.
  
• Critical mind: related to fears, doubts, and negative thoughts—it’s the gatekeeper of the subconscious mind.
  
• Subconscious mind: handles automatic processes, memory, habits, beliefs, emotions, and patterns.
  
• Primitive mind: the irrational and more instinctive part—it houses the fight, flight, or freeze response.

Hypnotherapy allows you to bypass the conscious and critical layers to work directly with your subconscious mind and create change at the root.

Finding the root of the problem

Once we are there, we will identify any limiting beliefs, recurring patterns, or experiences that may be contributing to your challenges.

This will help you better understand yourself and your situation, empowering you with confidence and motivation to reprogram your subconscious.

Planting seeds for change

During hypnosis, your critical mind takes a break, allowing your subconscious to become more open to suggestions.

Suggestions are instructions your hypnotherapist gives to your subconscious mind to produce a specific action or change. Think of hypnosis as the vehicle and suggestions as the fuel.

With suggestions, repetitions, and reinforcement, we’ll plant the seeds to shift patterns, rewire beliefs, and improve or adopt new behaviors for a positive transformation.

What to expect from online hypnotherapy

Online hypnotherapy consists of accessing hypnosis therapy via a secure telehealth portal. You will work with a qualified hypnotherapist from the comfort of your home, office, or private space—without needing to commute anywhere. And you’ll be able to record the sessions for future reference.

To prepare for your session:

• Find a quiet, private space
• Ensure you have a strong internet connection
• Use a device with working audio and a camera
• Plan for a 1-hour session

If we’re performing hypnosis on your child, they must be at least 7 years old, and both parents need to sign a consent form. Additionally, one parent must be present during the session.
