Find Yourself Through Hypnotherapy in Broomfield, CO
Where emotional release meets deep transformation, freeing you to live with calm, clarity, and a renewed sense of self.
What Is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a kind of therapy that happens while a person is in a relaxed, hypnotic state or Theta state, which is a deep, relaxed brainwave state associated with meditation, daydreaming, and subconscious access.
In this state, people can remember past experiences, let go of hard emotions stuck in the body, and heal the younger parts of themselves.
The main idea behind hypnotherapy is that many emotional or mental problems come from hidden conflicts inside us.
During hypnotherapy, you can notice these inner conflicts and start to heal them at a very deep level. Once this happens, you can let go of old, unhelpful beliefs about yourself and replace them with new, healthier thoughts and actions.
The wonderful thing about hypnotherapy is that you don’t have to pick a specific memory of experience to talk about and analyze. Your subconscious mind will lead the way, taking you exactly where you need to go.
We offer hypnotherapy in Broomfield, CO and virtually across Colorado.
What’s The Difference Between Hypnotherapy And Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a type of treatment that helps a person relax deeply. When someone is in this calm state, they can more easily listen to helpful ideas that may reduce their problems or symptoms. Being in a “hypnotic trance” simply means the mind is moving between being fully aware and being more open to thoughts and memories that are usually in the background.
Over the last 50 years, hypnosis has become respected in science and medicine. It has shown good results in helping soldiers with stress from war, making talk therapy work better, reducing pain, and even helping with some medical problems. Many studies have helped prove that hypnosis can be useful.
Most hypnosis today is called “permissive hypnosis.” In this kind, the therapist and client make an agreement before they begin. The therapist guides the client into a trance, but the client stays in control. The goal is to help the client use their own mind in a new way, so they can understand themselves better or make positive changes in their life.
Hypnotherapy is the process of psychotherapy with a client who is in the hypnotic non-ordinary state of consciousness. It can involve age regressions, release of difficult emotions, and inner child healing, and it allows access to deeper unresolved conflicts happening in the client’s mind.

What Is Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy?
Only a mental health professional trained by The Wellness Institute of Washington is qualified to do this profound personal healing. Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® mainly focuses on proving a somatic release and corrective experiences for the client.
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® trained therapists follow a specific protocol:
We always begin by building or strengthening the internal resources of the client.
We then address the current problematic situation in the client’s life.
We uncover the deeply hidden emotions and feelings connected with the issue.
We use those feelings to regress back to the source of the issue within the subconscious mind of the client.
We use various techniques to assist the client in releasing these deeply buried, repressed emotions and conflicts from their body.
We discover what internal programming they received that are still affecting them and what unconscious conclusions they made about themselves.
We then bring in special healing tools to change negative behavioral patterns and extinguish destructive emotions.
What Happens In A Typical Hypnotherapy Session?
Whether you are choosing to do hypnotherapy in our office in Broomfield, CO or virtually across Colorado, the process will look the same:
You will talk to your therapist about your issue and what you’d like to work on. Then, you will make yourself comfortable in a lying down position on a padded floormat, with a pillow and a blanket.
The therapist will use induction and deepening techniques to guide you into a state of trance where your brainwaves will be in a Theta healing pattern. This is similar to doing guided meditation. You will feel calm and relaxed.
The therapist will ask you about a recent situation related to the issue on which you are working. Then, the therapist will do age regression, taking you back in time to other situations related to the target issue.
With each age regression, you will get a chance to release trapped emotions, especially anger and sadness. This can look like hitting a pillow with a special tool or hugging a pillow accompanied by talking directly to the person who may have harmed you. This feels freeing and empowering.
You will also discover any internal programming you received and behavioral choices you made because of these past situations.
You will then extinguish any emotions that have not been released, like fear, shame, guilt, jealousy or loneliness using a process involving talking to your younger self.
This is followed by a special healing process, where you may hug a stuffed toy to connect with your inner child. You may also go through a brief soul retrieval, reclaiming a part of yourself that’s been lost.
Finally, you will choose new, healthier internal programming and behaviors for yourself, discussing any insights you gained with your therapist.
You will wake up from the trance feeling refreshed and renewed, feeling unconditional love for yourself and others in your heart.

Questions You Might Have About Hypnotherapy:
-
While we cannot ethically guarantee results, we can confidently say that Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy® has helped countess numbers of people overcome serious emotional and physical symptoms and has enabled many to increase their quality of life and to improve their relationships with people in their lives.
-
It’s important to know that hypnosis is not the same as being asleep or unconscious. In hypnosis, you are actually very aware and focused. Your mind stays active, and you can still talk to your therapist or notice sounds in the room, but they won’t bother you because you’re deeply focused on your inner experience.
You stay in control the whole time while feeling relaxed.
You can accept or reject any suggestion, and you can remember what happened if you want to. You are not numb, asleep, or “out of it.” Your subconscious mind is awake and working, and you can communicate clearly.
-
You will always be able to hear your therapist’s voice and know where you are. You will always be able to wake yourself up if you want to. You will be able to hear everything and speak for yourself. You will not be unconscious, and you will be able to remember what happened.
If you feel scared or unsure about hypnosis, that’s okay. We can talk about that first during your session, so you feel safe and comfortable.
-
Everyone passes through a state like hypnosis right before they fall asleep. Because of this, there’s no reason you can’t be hypnotized too. It’s a normal and natural state of mind that all people experience. In hypnotherapy, we simply use this state to help you heal, grow, and feel better.
Even if someone has trouble relaxing into hypnosis at first, they can still learn with practice. Resistance usually comes from feeling scared or unsure. We will take time to explain everything and help you feel safe, so any fear can fade away.
-
You can think of hypnosis like a line that goes from being fully awake to being asleep. Some parts of hypnosis feel more like being awake, and some parts feel more like light sleep. No matter where you are on that line, your mind becomes more open to suggestions. That’s why hypnosis can be helpful—your mind is more ready to learn new, positive ideas.
You don’t have to be in a deep trance to get results. Even if you are only a little relaxed, you can still benefit from hypnosis. With practice, you may be able to go into a deeper state, but that isn’t necessary for most people to get good results.
-
There has never been a documented case of anyone being unable to come out of hypnosis. During most of the day you are already going in and out of the subconscious mind. Coming out of hypnosis is like coming out of a daydreaming state – you can will yourself to do it.
-
The therapist cannot control your mind during hypnosis. Instead, hypnosis will enable you to control your own mind better.
Hypnotherapy empowers you. All the answers are within your subconscious mind; you just need to access them. The therapist will teach you self-hypnosis and assist you in discovering your own inner resources. You will always be in charge of the process.
You can always reject a suggestion the therapist makes during hypnosis. Also, you can tell the therapist what types of suggestions you would like to hear.
-
Yes, if you ever feel uncomfortable and want to pause the session, you can raise your hand and say, “one, two, three, stop.” This will bring you out of trance. Then you can explain what you’re experiencing.
-
Sometimes the body holds on to emotions and memories from past hurtful experiences. This is called psychosomatic, which means the mind and body are connected.
When these feelings stay stuck inside, they can show up as physical problems, like chronic pain, tight muscles, headaches, or stomach issues.
This happens because the mind and body are connected. When we go through stress or trauma, our nervous system stays on high alert, and the body doesn’t get a chance to relax and heal.
Over time, the tension from trapped emotions can build up in the body, almost like a “storage” of stress.
That’s why healing isn’t just about treating the body, it also means working with the emotions and experiences underneath the pain.
When those deeper feelings are released, the body can finally start to let go, too.

Hypnotherapy can be done virtually across the state of Colorado with our highly trained licensed therapists. You will need some preparation before you can do so:
You will need a laptop or desktop computer with a reliable internet connection (no phones).
You will need a space where you come comfortably lie down and have your whole body be visible by the therapist.
You will need to inform your therapist of a person that can act as an emergency contact and provide their phone number.
You will need three pillows: one to lay on, one to hit, and one to hug. You may also want a blanket for comfort.
You will need a stuffed toy, like a teddy bear. You can also use a doll.
You will need some kind of tool to hit the pillow to express anger. Your therapist will provide you with options. Many people use a spatula or a similar device.
You will need a bucket, trashcan or some other receptacle in case you get nauseated (this is extremely rare and unlikely, but we like to be prepared).
You will need an eye mask that won’t come off if you move around.
You will need something cold, like an ice pack, and something hot, like a heating pad or a thermos of tea/hot water. This is used to treat shock.
You will need tissues and a bottle of water.
-
You will be given relaxation exercises, self-hypnosis tools, and mindfulness meditations to practice at home. These activities help support your healing and make the work you do in therapy even stronger. They are simple, safe, and many are already recorded for you.
Your therapist will also record important parts of your sessions so you can listen to them during the week. This helps your mind keep learning and healing between sessions, which is when a lot of the progress actually happens.
-
Most people come to therapy once a week. Some like to do hypnotherapy every session, while others switch between talking about their feelings one week and doing hypnosis or talk therapy the next.
Both ways work, what matters is what feels best for you.
It is not recommended to do more than two sessions of hypnotherapy in one week.
-
It’s important to tell your therapist how you feel about the treatment and about them, even if your feelings seem strange, unreasonable, or embarrassing. Your reactions can give helpful clues about what is going on inside you.
Sharing your reactions, dreams, or even the times you feel resistant can help your therapist understand your deeper struggles and support your healing.
