“Change your frequency and your reality will change.”
Your frequency is the result of beliefs, habits, emotions and nervous system state.
Change them and your reality will follow.

Science & Brain Stuff
If you are wondering about the scientific evidence behind the method and what happens in the brain during hypnosis, this section covers it.
How about we skip the talk and do something that actually gives real-life results?
What I am trying to say is, talking about issues and understand where they come from can get you only so far. We need that too, but here is not the main dish.
If you struggle with self-doubt, procrastination, fear of rejection or of exposure, you might’ve already tried things like affirmations, talk therapy, breathing deeper and so on.
Then why still struggling?
Because change happens when our brain, heart and body are on the same page and working together. When that’s not the case, you’ll think about updating your website, but spend 3h on Netflix instead. You’d wish to be a podcast speaker, but you’ll decline invites.
How exactly does this alignment brain-heart-body happens?
The core of it is repeated experience of a new reality, where you think, feel and behave accordingly.
A very efficient way to facilitate this experience is by using hypnosis. We design together your new belief system, behaviors and how you want to feel, then we use hypnosis to rehearse all that. In hypnosis we are not only working with your thoughts, but with your body, your emotions, your nervous system and even with your energetic field. We do not change just the way you think, but the way you want to show up in life. Your actions will match your thoughts and how you feel. No more “I want to have many clients, but I’m scared to be exposed“, no more “it’s been 3 months and I still didn’t build that program.“
HOW IT WORKS
-
To change something, you need to first be aware it exists, else it keeps running you in the dark.
We start by bringing unconscious patterns into awareness, by mapping the link between triggers, feelings, thoughts, body reactions, and behaviors. This makes it clear what your system automatically does when you are about to be seen, before you consciously decide anything. I also blend Embodiment, Parts Work and Shadow Work elements at this stage.
Once the pattern is identified, it can be worked with instead of unconsciously repeated. We also work with the protective parts of you that are driving these patterns, like the part that keeps you small to avoid being seen as 'too much' or 'arrogant.' These parts aren't the problem, but they're trying to help. We'll understand what they are protecting you from and find them a better role, so they stop blocking your visibility.
At this step the self-blame, fear of rejection and other pains gets smaller. "What's wrong with me" becomes "oh that's what's happening, and that's why." That shift alone changes how you relate to the behavior, before anything else has even been rewired.
-
Right now, there's no gap between the trigger and the reaction. You get anxious, sweaty palms, doom-scrolling etc. before you've had a chance to consciously choose differently.
Using CBT-Hypnotherapy we work on creating a pause in the usual stress response, so that it no longer runs on autopilot. By working with focused attention and reduced mental noise, the old reaction loses momentum. This interruption weakens the habit loop that normally drives avoidance or self-doubt.
At this step the defaults start to loose their power. The tab stays open instead of closing itself. The sentence gets sent instead of deleted and rewritten. You accept that invitation instead of finding a reason to step out. Small moments, but real ones, become proof the old response isn't the only option anymore.
-
Real change needs a new experience.
At this stage new responses are learned during hypnosis, through focused mental rehearsal, physical and emotional engagement. The brain is guided to experience a different way of thinking, feeling, and responding to visibility as if it were already happening. This allows new neural pathways to form around showing up, safety and confidence. It’s very important to understand that this goes much deeper than “mindset work“, as it’s not about understanding things better, but about actually changing the way you live (if you think about it, standing up for doing what you love does change your life).
The way you behave are not that much forced or performed, but starts to feel natural. There is more ease around speaking in front of a crowd, more peace of mind when doing taxes, less fear of judgement.
-
Real change has to hold when things get stressful, not just when life is calm and cooperative.
A single powerful session can feel like everything shifted, but then a hard week happens, and the old problems creeps back.
Repeated rehearsal and reinforcement strengthen the new pathway until it becomes your preferred response. CBT-Hypnotherapy supports this consolidation so the new behavior holds even under pressure.
At this step the new response becomes what you do without thinking about it, the same way the old one used to. Over time, promoting yourself no longer triggers the old alarm, because the nervous system has learned a different default and bonus: it doesn’t feel the need to procrastinate!
-
This is what it looks like once the work settled in your system.
You open the laptop on a random Tuesday and just start, instead of suddenly needing to clean the kitchen or answer three emails that could've waited.
You hit send on the pitch and close the laptop, heart-bit calm, instead of rereading it eleven times first.
Someone asks about your prices and you say the number out loud, plainly, without guilt or apology.
You say yes to the podcast invite and actually enjoy being there, hear your own voice come out clear instead of shaky, watch people nod instead of bracing for the awkward silence.
You walk into the room you used to find reasons to avoid, and your throat is relaxed, not tight anymore.
The invoice you've been avoiding for two weeks gets sent on time, no big deal, no ceremony.
The program that's been stuck in your head for months finally gets built, one ordinary session at a time, instead of staying a thing you'll "get to."
You stop needing the good mood, the right headspace, the perfect morning routine to get things done. You just do them. And afterward, there's a zen-like satisfaction, not relief that you survived it, just the plain, solid feeling of a thing that's actually finished.
Your brain is neuroplastic, meaning it can be rewired. When new ways of showing up are experienced and repeated, the brain updates the pattern and self-promotion can start to feel safer, more natural, even enjoyable.
Hypno-CBT® is a unique form of hypno-psychotherapy that integrates hypnosis, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Research shows that adding hypnosis to CBT(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) improves outcomes for around 70% more, compared with CBT alone. (link)
It’s a structured, evidence-based process for updating beliefs, reducing stress and anxiety, and increasing emotional and behavioral flexibility.
What is CBT-Hypnotherapy?
-
The feeling is similar to when you watch a movie and you are absorbed by what’s going on there, being emotionally invested in the story. And yet, you can still hear the door bell and you can pause it anytime.
-
Greater Effectiveness: Combining CBT and hypnosis has shown 70% better outcomes compared to CBT alone.
Faster Results: Hypnotherapy helps achieve meaningful improvements more quickly.
Brain-Based Changes: Neuroscience confirms hypnosis directly influences brain areas linked to emotions, habits, and responses.
-
No. You are awake and at all time in control of your actions.
Your mind is…yours in each moment, you cannot be made to believe or do things that you don’t want to. We are working together to design your new reality and during hypnosis we’ll use YOUR words and YOUR desired outcomes that we agreed beforehand.
This page has a lot of complex info, but when you experience it, the process feels actually smooth and relaxing. That’s what I’ve been told by other people. 😊
SCIENCE & BRAIN STUFF
CBT works well for fear of judgment and social anxiety, twice as well as other common treatments. Hypnosis works very well for anxiety on its own. But when you combine CBT AND Hypnosis? You get significantly better results than either approach alone. About 70% more efficiency, in fact. That's why CBT-Hypnotherapy is the foundation of my method, because not only I saw it working with so many people, but it’s also backed by science.
-
In a rigorous trial for fear of being judged, 84% of people receiving CBT-style cognitive therapy no longer have issues after treatment, compared with 42% in an exposure + relaxation program. That’s double! (A randomized controlled trial’, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 74(3), pp. 568–578.
The average person receiving hypnosis improved more than ~79% of people in control conditions (and ~84% at follow-up).
In controlled research, people doing hypnosis for anxiety typically improve more than about 4 out of 5 people who don’t get the hypnosis intervention. (THE EFFICACY OF HYPNOSIS AS A TREATMENT FOR ANXIETY: A META-ANALYSIS, 2019 Jul-Sep;67(3):336-363)
Adding hypnosis to CBT protocol improves outcomes: across 18 controlled studies (n=577), CBT+hypnosis outperformed CBT alone, and the average CBT+hypnosis client did better than at least 70% of CBT-only clients. (Hypnosis as an adjunct to cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy: a meta-analysis)

During hypnosis, the brain doesn’t switch off and it doesn’t go into a special “sleep” state. Instead, how different brain systems talk to each other changes.
Brain-imaging research shows hypnosis can change patterns in attention and self-monitoring networks, which may help people get less hooked by self-consciousness and more able to stay engaged with a chosen goal.
Hypnosis helps change patterns because it’s effect on the brain:
reduces self-critical noise,
stabilises attention,
makes new experiences feel real enough for the brain to learn from,
allows old threat-based predictions to be replaced with more accurate ones.
That’s why change can feel efortless and more natural over time. The brain isn’t being forced to behave differently, it’s being retrained.
-
If you clicked the long version, you might be a bit geeky, just like me. ;)
Normally, when someone feels anxious about being seen or performing, three things tend to happen in the brain at once:
the self-monitoring system becomes overactive (“How am I coming across?”),
the threat system stays on alert,
and attention keeps bouncing between worries, predictions, and self-criticism.
Brain-imaging studies show that during hypnosis, this balance shifts.
First, self-monitoring quiets down.
Areas involved in constant self-evaluation and internal commentary become less dominant. This is why people often report feeling less self-conscious or less “in their head.”Second, focused attention becomes stronger and steadier.
Networks that help you stay engaged with one thing at a time become more coordinated. Instead of scanning for problems, the brain can stay with a chosen image, idea, or task.Third, the connection between thinking and bodily awareness changes.
Regions involved in noticing internal sensations become more connected to intentional focus. This helps thoughts feel more “real” and embodied, rather than abstract or distant.Importantly, this doesn’t mean losing control. It means less internal interference and more direct learning.
Why this helps change patterns and behaviour
Most unhelpful behaviours aren’t driven by logic. They’re driven by learned brain–body responses. The brain learned them through repetition, emotion, and experience, not through reasoning.
In hypnosis, the brain is in a state where:
old alarm signals are quieter,
attention is more stable,
and new experiences are taken in more deeply.
That makes it easier for the brain to update its predictions.
When someone rehearses a new response in this state — for example, speaking up without collapsing into doubt — the brain processes it less as “just imagination” and more as a valid experience. This matters because the brain updates its wiring based on experience, not explanation.
Over repeated practice, the brain starts to expect the new response instead of the old one. The nervous system no longer reacts as strongly, because it has learned that the situation isn’t as dangerous as it once assumed.
A widely cited fMRI study (Jiang et al., 2017) found that during hypnosis there was:
reduced activity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC)
increased connectivity between DLPFC and insula
reduced connectivity between DLPFC and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) (a key default mode network node)
