Trance is not a special state.
We all know it — when a conversation occupies us so much that we miss our stop.
When we sink into music.
When we lie awake at night and cannot switch off.
Hypnosis works with exactly these states —
not to put someone into something, but to use what is already there.
What happens has nothing to do with stage shows.
No loss of control, no being at someone's mercy.
The client stays present — often with an unfamiliar clarity turned inwards.
In my practice I work with an approach shaped substantially by Dr Gunther Schmidt:
Ericksonian hypnotherapy and systemic thinking as one integrated model,
which treats inner dynamics — convictions, emotions, bodily sensations — not as symptoms but as attempts at a solution.
Sometimes the mind knows what would be good — and something else happens anyway. We can understand something — and still stay caught in it. What drives, blocks or burdens us often arises elsewhere — in an area that is faster, more fundamental, and speaks a different language than words. Hypnotherapy works in precisely that area.
Sometimes you will be surprised by your own inner images.
Hypnosis can help with anxiety, sleep problems, with patterns that repeat despite insight — but also with psychosomatic symptoms, exhaustion or in transitional phases in which the old no longer holds and the new is not yet within reach.
For a first conversation in hypnotherapy I allow more time, so as to understand your concern without hurry and develop a suitable way of working.
A first appointment is often possible at short notice — the more flexible your hours, the sooner. Sessions take place in the practice or — where it makes sense — online.
