Yes. In my experience, intense phobias that make no sense in this life typically connect to a traumatic moment in a past one, the initial sensitizing event. I am not going to guess at what yours might be, because I do not paint a picture. We discover it. During the session I establish a hypnotic bridge backward in time to locate that original moment. You observe it from a safe, detached distance instead of reliving it, and that distance is what lets the trapped fear release. Clients often report that a fear they had carried for decades feels much lighter afterward, and many find it no longer runs their choices.

It is just the two of us. The session needs to be one on one, because if someone else is in the room with you, something might come up that you do not want to talk about in front of them, and you might hold back, you might not open up, and whatever it is might be important. The recording is yours too, and you can share it with anybody you want, or with nobody. Beyond that, there typically are not embarrassing or private things that come up. It is always a possibility, but the things that come up are things that need to come up. There is always a reason. So if something private or embarrassing does come up, the question becomes, why did it come up? What is it getting your attention about? It is usually something in your life that needs to be addressed in some way, not by me, by you, and if there is something I can help you with, I am more than willing to help you with it.

Your Higher Self is the part of your own soul that stays in spirit, the non physical side of you, and it holds a broad view of all your lifetimes. Spirit guides are separate beings, more like spiritual friends, ancestors or guardian angels, who arrange circumstances to help you along on Earth. The two cooperate to help you navigate your life. In my sessions, some clients feel a stronger connection to their guides while others find it easier to communicate with their Higher Self, and both are normal. I help you find and strengthen whichever pathway opens most easily for you, and in time many people find they can work with both. That connection happens in the Quantum Healing Hypnosis and Life Between Lives sessions, and it can also include your soul group and loved ones in spirit.

Repetitive conflicts or intense struggles with your partner are often structured on a soul level to trigger necessary growth. Before birth your souls agreed to incarnate together to help each other resolve old karmic patterns or learn lessons such as compassion or boundaries. In the hypnotic state you can trace the conflict pattern back to its original past life cause. Realizing that the ancient struggle belongs to a previous incarnation helps your subconscious release the current relational trigger, and what tends to happen is that the same old argument loses its charge. My clients often report more harmony and peace at home afterward, not because their partner changed but because the pattern underneath the fight has been seen and set down.

I cannot answer that specifically for you, because everyone is different. That deep, hard to explain feeling of not belonging is something I hear from spiritually sensitive people, and I am careful not to hand you an explanation before your session. I would rather you discover where the feeling comes from than have me paint a picture in advance, because whatever you find needs to be yours. What I can say is that people who bring this feeling to a session tend to find something that makes sense of it, and once they do, the isolation starts to ease. Bring it with you as one of your questions, and we will let your own experience answer it.

No, I do not read from a script. There is a term, Scripnosis, for a hypnotherapist reading a generic pre written script word for word to a client. I avoid that approach because a canned script cannot respond to your unique personal issues and what your subconscious needs in the moment. My sessions are interactive and client centered. I listen closely to your words while you are in trance and create custom suggestions in real time based on what you say. That is also how I teach my students to work. The result is a session built around you, shaped by your own language and your own experience rather than a page of text written for someone else.
