Trance is not a special state.
We all know it — when a conversation absorbs us so completely that we miss our stop.
When we lose ourselves in music.
When we lie awake at night and can’t switch off.

Hypnotherapy 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 performances. No loss of control, no sense of being at someone’s mercy. The client remains present — often with an unfamiliar clarity directed inward.

In my practice I work with an approach significantly shaped by Dr. Gunther Schmidt:
Ericksonian hypnotherapy and systemic thinking as an integrated model.
The focus is on inner dynamics — different parts and perspectives within you that are at work and sometimes pull in opposite directions.

Sometimes the rational mind knows what would be good — and something else happens anyway.
We can understand something — and still remain 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 exactly that area.

Sometimes you will be surprised by your own inner images.

Hypnotherapy can help with anxiety, sleep disorders, patterns that repeat despite insight — but also with psychosomatic complaints, exhaustion, or in transitional phases where the old no longer holds and the new is not yet within reach.
