What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a powerful, evidence-based therapeutic approach that uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and positive suggestions to help you access your subconscious mind. This state—often called a trance or deep relaxation—is completely natural and similar to how you feel when you’re daydreaming or deeply absorbed in a book or movie.
In this state, your mind becomes more open and receptive to positive change. With the guidance of a trained hypnotherapist, you can safely explore and reframe limiting beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns that may be holding you back. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, unhealthy habits, sleep issues, or burnout, hypnotherapy can help you reconnect with your inner resources and create meaningful, lasting transformation.
What Hypnotherapy Is Not
Despite what movies and TV might suggest, hypnotherapy is not mind control or stage hypnosis. You won’t be clucking like a chicken or doing anything against your will. You are always in control during a session and fully aware of what’s happening. Think of it as a collaborative process—one where you are empowered to take an active role in your healing and personal growth.
“What I never achieved in psychotherapy I achieved with Amy in three session, her profound listening skills, empathy, and effective hypnotherapy sessions transformed my stress filled evenings and mid night wake-ups, to consistent 6-8 hours of sleep- forever grateful.”
What to Expect
At Breathe SF, sessions are tailored to your unique needs and goals. We’ll start by talking through what you’re struggling with and what you’d like to change. Then, using gentle, guided techniques, I’ll help you access a relaxed, focused state where we can work directly with your subconscious mind—the place where deep, lasting change begins.
You may experience shifts in how you think, feel, and respond—sometimes subtly, sometimes significantly. Many clients report feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves after just a few sessions.
