Hypnosis
A key to change
Many things happen within us without us choosing them .
Compulsions, ruminations, overactive reactions... so many situations where willpower is not always enough to get out of them.
Hypnosis is a simple and accessible tool , which allows you to bypass the
mental resistance to directly address unconscious mechanisms
that influence us in our daily lives.
The goal is to understand and unravel emotions, reactions, blockages, to bring fluidity and coherence into our thoughts, our actions and our relationships.
By sorting through everything that is holding us back, we give ourselves the space to develop in our own way , in accordance with who we are and what really matters to us.
The idea is not to achieve a high-performance, optimized version of oneself, but rather to tame oneself , to approach oneself with kindness in order to become one's own support.
Definition
An altered state of consciousness
Cognitive science recognizes this state as a distinct altered state of consciousness (ASC) , with measurable effects on the brain, attention, and behavior.
An EMC is a state of mind that differs from our usual mental state.
That of hypnosis is:
- focused attention : being entirely focused on one thing, to the exclusion of others
- a reduction in critical thinking : rationalizing, considering things as possible or not)
- increased receptivity to suggestions : a suggestion is a proposition made to the unconscious.
These changes make unconscious processes temporarily accessible .
Unconscious processes are the set of automatic mechanisms that influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without our awareness . This includes perception, memory, learning, decision-making—everything that happens behind the scenes of our thinking.
Much of our behavior is based on these automatisms .
They can be based on emotional associations (such situation = danger), implicit anticipations ("I will fail", "I will be abandoned"), internal shortcuts... In short, all the adaptive mechanisms that have allowed the human species to survive until now.
Access to the unconscious
A transformation through imagination
Hypnosis allows us to create a temporary bridge with these processes.
By connecting to emotional memories, conditioning, and anticipation patterns, it allows us to propose new ways of perceiving, feeling, or acting .
By experiencing the same situation internally, but perceiving it differently,
the brain creates a new internal experience , which allows it to integrate something other than the usual response and thus to modify its automatisms.
Some uses of hypnosis
Improve self-esteem
By alleviating doubt , inner judgments and the feeling of being “not enough”.
Befriend your emotions
By understanding the triggers of stress or overflow, and by welcoming emotions differently .
Unlock
situations
By calming fears, contradictions or past experiences that cloud clarity .
Shift automatic patterns
By transforming automatisms (snacking, avoidance, over-adaptation, etc.) at their source .
Flourish
relationships
By exploring relational patterns (abandonment, difficulties setting limits , self-effacement, etc.) and the needs that underlie them.
Soothe
conditioned fears
By desensitizing disproportionate panic reactions (airplane, crowd, emptiness, etc.) linked to emotional associations.
Soften painful memories
By modifying the emotional charge linked to certain memories, to allow for more peaceful integration .
And hypnosis also adapts to lighter and more playful explorations : stimulating creativity , exploring lucid dreams , learning a skill , exploring desires , reconnecting with one's body or sensations.
There are as many possible applications as there are imaginable desires!
My support
I offer support based on listening and self-understanding , with respect and simplicity .
Hypnosis is a team effort.
We will move forward together , at your own pace, and combine your will with my knowledge to unravel what is preventing you from being where you want to be.
The Sessions
How many sessions are needed?
It all depends on your goal. Follow-ups for minor or behavioral issues can be very brief, from 1 to 3 sessions .
For deeper issues, which call for global transformations , follow-ups can be longer, given the gradual changes that this implies.
I practice sessions of 1h30 for the first meeting , and between 1h and 1h30 for the following ones .
For the first meeting, I take the time to set the framework , to clarify with you what you are going through, and to refine your objectives .
Then we work on putting you into hypnosis and make sure you feel comfortable and confident.
Sometimes these steps take up the entire session. This time of exploration is already a first step in transformation , and solid foundations allow for lasting change .
The first
The following
Then, we move forward through the meetings, adapting as you progress. You choose to make appointments, as long as you feel you need to.
Sessions are generally spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, to allow time for changes to take hold before continuing the support.
My commitments
Collaboration and Empowerment
Each session is built in pairs .
I suggest some options and you choose the one that suits you, in a co-creation approach.
I also make my practice as transparent as possible, so that you can grasp its meaning, make it your own , and then use it for yourself .
Privacy and Security
I make sure to create a safe environment, where your privacy is protected .
Your stories, your emotions, your approach here are never transmitted or mentioned elsewhere.
This space belongs to you , with the strictest respect.
Kindness and adaptation
I welcome you as you are, with your story and your way of seeing the world .
Your identity, your gender, your beliefs: everything that defines you has a place here .
I adapt to your reality, with respect and without judgment.

The limits of hypnosis
It does not replace willpower.
Hypnosis is a support on your own path .
It is only as effective as your commitment and what you are willing to do for yourself .
It does not allow you to recover forgotten memories.
We can work on the emotional charge and impact of certain memories, without being able to guarantee their veracity.
The hypnotic state, by increasing suggestibility , makes it even easier to create false memories — a phenomenon that already exists outside of hypnosis, in everyday life.
It offers an individual response to sometimes systemic problems
Changing yourself to fit into a dysfunctional system is not always the solution.
Hypnosis can support well-being, but
It does not erase the social or structural causes of suffering.
