“In Depth Hypnosis, because of the creative use of an altered state, there is the beautiful opportunity for us to be able to let go of ourselves and experience that sense of freedom and spaciousness, within which we can then begin to reconnect parts of ourselves that are somehow misaligned. So I see Depth Hypnosis as a creative approach that could help many people with their deeply rooted challenges of self-harshness and lack of adequate self-kindness.”
“Drawing on an innovative blend of contemplative traditions and Western psychological theory and practice, Depth Hypnosis guides individuals to embrace greater levels of compassion, self-awareness, and well-being. These values serve as a platform for the development of dedicated practitioners in the powerful treatment modality of Depth Hypnosis.”
