What is hypnojourneying used for ?
Hypnojourneying is used to heal anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma and is a form of emotional regulation work. It is particularly useful when someone cannot naviagate an emotional block using traditional approaches. This could be because they have experienced trauma perhaps as a child or in a past relationship. Hypnojourneying involves engaging with the emotion, understanding and then releasing its pain in the moment. This will start the healing process. There is no need to return to or relive a memory.
What is the therapeutic basis of hypnojourneying?
Hypnojourneying draws from modern therapeutic approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Ego State Therapy, which focus on resolving internal conflicts. These methods are based on the idea that our inner world is composed of distinct 'parts' or subpersonalities, such as the critic, the survivor, or the controller. Each part plays a unique role in our thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Once we engage with the part, understand and resolve these fears, we can integrate our blocks and our inner conflict is resolved. This also reflects shamanic understanding of therapeutic healing - when we suffer trauma we become fragmented. Healing occurs once we can journey to the lost part of ourself and reunite with it.
What happens in hypnojourneying sessions?
In hypnosis, we journey together to the part of you that is struggling to engage with it and ask it to reveal its issue is and how to resolve it. Some people struggle talking directly with stuck parts - this may because emotions are too intense, painful or foggy. Developing a unique identity for the struggling part can then be helpful - perhaps a character, animal or celebrity that resonates. Creating distance help establish a connection and ultimately a dialogue with the stuck part or parts. Establishing a connection and dialogue will often kick start healing

Once we have released our stuck part, the block often disappears and conflict resolve. This shift may release new wisdom helping us achieve unexpected and visionary growth.
