Why Choose Hypnotherapy – Especially the Krasner Method

What Hypnotherapy Is

Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural process that helps you reach a deeply relaxed, focused state where your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and new perspectives. It is not about losing control—instead, it gives you the tools to reclaim control over your thoughts, habits, and responses.

What Makes the Krasner Method Unique

The Krasner Method, created by Dr. Herbert Spiegel and later refined by Dr. Krasner, is a client-centered approach to hypnosis. Instead of giving commands, it works by guiding you into a partnership with your own subconscious mind. This method is:

Gentle & Non-invasive – You are always in charge of the process.
Flexible – It adapts to your specific needs, whether for stress relief, confidence, or breaking habits.
Empowering – Rather than telling you what to do, it helps you access your own inner wisdom and resources.
Effective – Used worldwide to support healing, habit change, emotional balance, and personal growth.

Why Clients Benefit

When you choose the Krasner Method of hypnotherapy, you are choosing a process that:

Helps you reduce stress and reset your nervous system.
Supports emotional balance by dissolving old patterns of fear, self-doubt, or limiting beliefs.
Strengthens your confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Provides tools you can use in everyday life for focus, calm, and resilience.
Works in harmony with your values and goals—you are never pushed, only guided.

In Short

Clients who work with me through the Krasner Method of hypnotherapy discover that the answers they’ve been searching for are already within them. This method is simply the key that unlocks the door to your subconscious, allowing lasting change, peace of mind, and personal transformation.

What is Hypnotherapy and is not

Hypnotherapy Is

Hypnosis is a process of active imagination. It works consciously with the unconscious mind during a trance like state much the same state as when we are about to wake up or go to sleep. Hypnosis bypasses the critical faculty of the brain, that part of the brain that cares to distinguish between ‘reality’ and not ‘reality’ - sort of a willful creative suspension of mind seeing what's possible.

A natural, relaxed state of focused awareness.

A proven way to access the subconscious mind — where habits, beliefs, and emotional patterns are stored.
A gentle process that helps you release stress, reset your nervous system, and create new, empowering responses.

Think of it like guided meditation with a purpose — a direct pathway to press “reset” on patterns that no longer serve you.

Hypnosis Is NOT

What many people have misconceptions about — These are often shaped by stage shows or movies. Let’s clear that up.

Hypnosis is not:

Mind control. or brainwashing.
Making you do something against your will.
Sleep or an unconsciousness state of mind.

Science Based Evidence Hypnotherapy Works

Hypnosis & Science: Evidence-Based Benefits

Clinical research increasingly shows that hypnotherapy is an effective, evidence-based practice. It is not 'mind control,' but a scientifically studied state that enhances focus, reduces self-criticism, and allows access to subconscious patterns for healing and transformation.

What Brain Science Shows

Research demonstrates specific brain activity shifts during hypnosis, including:

· dACC activity decreases – self-criticism and conflict detection quiet down.

· Prefrontal cortex and insula show altered connectivity – creating deep focus and mind–body awareness.

· Default Mode Network activity reduces – less inner chatter.

· Thalamus filters sensory input differently – enhancing inward focus.

Caveats

· People vary in their hypnotic responsiveness.

· Study quality can differ, but evidence is growing.

· Hypnosis is best applied as a complementary, client-centered practice.

Takeaway

Hypnotherapy is supported by science in areas such as pain, anxiety, depression, and gastrointestinal disorders. It is a safe, effective approach that helps align mind, body, and heart for healing and transformation.
