Whatever your symptoms, Depth Hypnosis seeks to meet you where you are. Every person is unique, and so the process of Depth Hypnosis for each person must also be unique. Depth Hypnosis sessions may not adhere exactly to the following protocol, but in general, sessions proceed as follows:

In the first session, clients are asked a series of questions about their emotional biography and presenting issue. This information serves as a map that guides a Depth Hypnosis Practitioner’s approach to helping clients resolve their symptoms. In the second session, the client and Practitioner begin working with the altered state. The first work that is done in an altered state is designed to help the client connect with their inner wisdom. In the third session, clients begin doing more advanced altered state work. Depth Hypnosis adapts methods of Shamanic healing like power retrieval and soul retrieval into hypnotherapeutic regression, and the client and Practitioner use regression to revisit the situations that are creating present-day issues. Clients begin to shift their relationship to those conditions, creating powerful changes in symptoms. The overall effect of this process is not re-traumatizing, and further sessions involve integrating the teachings that emerge out of regressions through an innovative process called insight inquiry.
