When the mind stops hearing what the heart needs most

In February 2020, at a crowded, overstimulating convention, a woman sat across from me and said something I’ve heard in many forms:

“I know people compliment me, but I can’t hear it anymore.”

She agreed to be hypnotized on camera as a demonstration of my custom hypnotherapy work in a loud and distracting environment. What followed was not a generic script or a performance—it was a precision-crafted induction designed for her nervous system, her lived experience, and her specific block: the inability to receive praise.

This wasn’t about shutting down. It was about tuning in. The script used layered metaphor, indirect suggestion, and somatic anchoring to bypass resistance and restore access to what had been filtered out by years of survival-mode patterning.

As her body softened and her breath slowed, I introduced a story:

“And what about Beethoven, who became increasingly deaf as he got older… He stood there facing the orchestra, unaware of the audience approval until someone walked out and turned him around. Only then did he know what everyone needs to know but sometimes cannot hear…”

That story became the bridge. From Beethoven’s deafness to her own emotional deafness. From applause she couldn’t register to compliments she couldn’t absorb. The script continued:

“She thought she was ugly and awful… until one day, someone said, ‘I think you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen...”

That’s the power of custom hypnotherapy. It doesn’t overwrite your story—it reorients you to it. It gives the unconscious mind permission to hear what the conscious mind has been trained to reject.

Why this works: the science behind it

Hypnotherapy is not stage magic. It’s a validated clinical tool. According to a 2024 article from the *American Psychological Association*, hypnosis is now recognized as a powerful adjunct to psychotherapy, especially for stress, trauma, and behavior change. A 2023 meta-analysis in Frontiers in Psychology found that hypnotherapy significantly improves outcomes in anxiety, pain management, and emotional regulation—often outperforming standard treatments when customized to the individual.

The key is customization. Generic scripts may relax you. But custom hypnotherapy—designed for your language, your patterns, your resistance—can rewire how you process experience.

What I offer

Every session I deliver is built from the ground up. I listen, I map, and I write a session that speaks directly to you. Whether you’re filtering out praise, stuck in a loop of self-rejection, or unable to access clarity, the work is tailored.

You don’t need to believe in hypnosis. You just need to be willing to sit in the chair.

And when you’re ready, I’ll help you hear what you’ve stopped letting in.
