What is Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy?

  • Psychoeducation: Teaching clients how thoughts influence emotions, physiology, and behavior.
  • Goal Setting and Hypnosis: Programming the brain with clear objectives to align behavior with desired outcomes.

The Role of Neuroscience in Hypnotherapy

  • Carla explains how neuroscience supports solution-focused hypnotherapy:
  • Avoiding re-traumatization by focusing on solutions rather than problems.
  • Utilizing the mind's inability to differentiate between imagination and reality to reshape neural pathways.
  • Leveraging the Reticular Activating System (RAS) to focus on goals and positive outcomes.

Addressing Common Client Challenges

  • Carla outlines the typical issues her clients face, such as:
  • Work-life imbalance, stress, and anxiety.
  • Unhealthy habits and coping mechanisms like overeating or insomnia.
  • Writer's block, phobias, or adapting to new environments.
  • Through a holistic approach, she helps clients reduce anxiety and achieve balance, leading to improved well-being.

Success Stories

  • Carla shares a recent example of a client overcoming:
  • Writer's block for a doctoral thesis.
  • Anxiety and phobia of speaking a foreign language.
  • Unhealthy lifestyle habits.
  • Through hypnotherapy, the client achieved personal and professional milestones, adapting to a new environment with increased confidence and productivity.

The Power of Online Therapy

  • Carla ensures the same level of connection in online sessions as in-person ones.
  • Benefits of online therapy:
  • Accessibility for clients in rural areas or with mobility challenges.
  • Comfort for individuals with conditions like PTSD or depression.
  • Carla emphasizes the effectiveness of online therapy for delivering transformative results.

The Future of Hypnotherapy
