Clinical Hypnotherapy
Now that I've experienced clinical hypnosis both in getting and giving hypnosis sessions, and completed the 100 hour five phase training with Dr Michael Yapko, I'm so glad to tell you about his self help digital hypnosis program. THIRTEEN hypnotherapy recordings and relevant things to reflect on and do for less than the price of one gentrified hypnotherapy session rate.
Better manage anxiety, depression and life’s stresses with Claria's five-week hypnosis program https://join.clariamentalhealth.com/
However, if you're a healthcare professional (Dr, therapist, etc) for complimentary use, and specifics about the contents of this app for mental health and emotional well being through boosting the vital skills for the best version of yourself, use this link https://yapko.com/claria/
Clinical hypnosis is NOT entertainment hypnosis, and has much empirical backing with a 2024 published umbrella review of a recent 20 year span of meta-analyses (of 261 studies) with outcomes of 99.2 % demonstrating positive effects. (Frontiers in Psychology, Jan 8, 2024, Rosendahl, Alldredge, & Haddenhorst). If you want to look into a compact list of research into clinicial hypnotherapy's effectiveness in a variety of uses, it's in Trancework by Michael Yapko updated in 2025.
The short message audio before each hypnotherapy session is so packed with research informed insights and guidance too! If you want your own customized clinical hypnosis session and recording, I may be able to meet with you and create one for you over Zoom. However, these are pretty dang good and I love using them every day to start my day.
Clinical hypnosis is like taking a great idea and turning it into an experience while planting the seeds for the shifts in daily life.
