Insights on Transformation & Hypnotherapy

Many people come to hypnotherapy after years of trying to “fix” themselves through effort, discipline, and insight alone. They’ve read the books. They understand their patterns intellectually. They’ve made promises to themselves again and again — only to find the same emotional reactions, habits, and internal loops resurfacing.

Have you ever felt more confident about your team’s chances of winning simply because you were wearing your “lucky” shirt? While it may seem trivial, this is a simple example of something much deeper—the placebo effect.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses deep relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind. In this receptive state, long-standing emotional patterns, habits, and stress responses can be explored and gently shifted. In my hypnotherapy practice in Asheville, I work with individuals who are seeking meaningful change, often after realizing that willpower or surface-level strategies have not been enough.
