You can, and I teach you how at the end of your session. Your guides are listening and sending messages all the time. The main thing in the way is the analytical mind asking whether the guidance is real. So before I bring you out of trance I teach you a self hypnosis anchoring technique you keep for life. When you practice it for a few minutes each day, the critical chatter quiets, you settle into a relaxed state, and you become able to receive and trust intuitive signs or direct answers from your guides. Many of my clients find this daily practice becomes the part of the session they use most, because it gives them an open line of communication that does not depend on having me there.

In my experience long standing physical discomfort in your current body may very well be tied to unhealed past life trauma or intense unresolved emotion that started in a past life or in the current life. The details are not the important part. Discovering the emotion is. Sometimes it comes up on its own during the past life experience, and sometimes I use regression to cause, which takes you back to the initial sensitizing event, the moment that emotion first locked in. Regression to cause works in a hypnosis session as well, and in past life work it can take you straight to the lifetime where the emotion began. Once the emotion is discovered and released, clients often tell me they feel a physical lightness that matches the emotional relief. The body has been carrying what the soul went through, and this work gives it permission to let go.

Everybody is curious, and that is fine. The time I kind of push back on curiosity is when there is nothing else. Why do you want to do this? I'm just curious. What are you curious about? I want to know who I was in a past life. I like to say it like this. There's no meat on those bones. You need a stronger intention than just curiosity. What do you want that you do not have right now? What would you like to be different in your life after the session? Most clients also have something in the back of their head questioning whether this is real, and that is always there, that is fine too. Once you go through these experiences, once you notice things, realize things, notice changes in your life, it is a lot more than curiosity. And you know what they say about curiosity and the cat, so watch out.

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.

I cannot answer that specifically for you, because everyone is different, and that lifelong feeling of not fitting in is more common than you might think. It is one of the things people bring to a session as a question. I do not tell you where it comes from ahead of time, and I do not paint a picture during the session either. I ask you what you notice and let your own experience do the explaining. What I will say is that when someone finds the source of that feeling for themselves, the grief tends to lift, and settling into life here gets easier. The discovering is what helps, and it works best when every bit of it is yours.

You do not need to deliver eloquent descriptions for this to go well. There is no right or wrong way to experience trance, and once the analytical mind steps aside, words come more easily than you expect. I keep my questions gentle and open, things like what do you notice and tell me more, and I let your impressions come out at their own pace. It is a collaboration rather than a performance. Quiet and anxious clients typically find they feel comfortable within a few minutes and share their journey just fine, and some of the richest sessions I have facilitated came from people who barely said a word in everyday life.
