Byron Bay Hypnotherapy: What is Hypnotherapy? – Professional Sessions with Natascha Krauss

Did you know your subconscious mind controls 90% of your brain’s processing? That’s why simply understanding something logically isn’t always enough to change your habits or emotions. For example, we all know smoking is unhealthy, yet quitting often requires more than conscious willpower.

This is where hypnotherapy comes in. By using relaxation, focused attention, and positive suggestion, hypnotherapy helps you access your subconscious mind to create meaningful, lasting changes in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

How does Hypnotherapy work?

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a state of sleep or unconsciousness. Instead, it is a state of focused awareness where you are fully awake and in control of your actions. While in a hypnotic relaxation you may experience a heightened sense of concentration, and an increased ability to visualize and imagine.

In a hypnotherapy session, whether online or in-person, we begin by creating a relaxed atmosphere that allows you to connect with your body. In this state, your mind-body connection strengthens, which can lead to improved physical health, emotional well-being, better stress management, enhanced performance, stronger relationships, and increased resilience.

What are the benefits of Hypnotherapy?

Roots: We can explore the root causes by accessing the subconscious mind, where unresolved emotions and past experiences may be stored. We can begin by identifying any surface-level symptoms and then delve deeper to explore the underlying causes of these issues. Using regression techniques, we can trace the underlying emotions and events that have contributed to the blockages or physical manifestations you may be experiencing.

Regression: When agreed upon, I will guide you back to these past events, allowing you to revisit and understand their emotional impact. By identifying these roots, we can begin to release the emotional charge tied to them and reframe their influence on your current health. This process helps to clear blockages and stuck energies, bringing healing and restoring balance to both the mind and body.

Benefits of Hypnotherapy: Releasing Traumas & Limiting Beliefs

When you feel stuck and it is hard for you to find meaning or direction, hypnotherapy offers a powerful path to clarity, tapping into your subconscious mind, which holds the answers and wisdom you are looking for. It can guide you to your purpose and towards a more fulfilling life.

Visualisation: In a hypnotic state you find it easier to visualise. Your subconscious can give you answers to various questions related to current work, relationships and many others — to uncover hidden feelings or desires that point toward your purpose. It likes to communicate in images and symbols. I will help you to interpret those.
Connection: As your conscious mind quiets, your subconscious becomes more receptive to higher guidance. Hypnosis is a state where you can meet your higher self or spirit guides. In this state, you might receive insights, wisdom, or intuitive messages that feel deeply personal and meaningful. These connections can provide clarity, offer spiritual guidance, and help you align more closely with your true purpose and inner wisdom.
Past Life Exploration (Optional): In some cases it might be beneficial to explore past memories or even past lives to uncover your deeper purpose or karmic influences.

Benefits of Hypnotherapy: Finding Meaning & Purpose

Neuroplasticity: We use the power of neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. This process allows us to change old patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, which may have been limiting or unhealthy, such as addictions or other self-harming behaviours.

Plating the seed: During the session, I offer specific messages (suggestions) designed to rewire the brain. These suggestions are carefully crafted to support the changes you want to make—whether it's overcoming negative beliefs, breaking unwanted habits, or improving emotional responses. As the subconscious mind accepts and internalizes these messages, the brain begins to adapt, creating new neural pathways that align with your desired outcomes. This process empowers you to transform old patterns, reinforce positive behaviors, and ultimately create lasting change in your life.
