Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Online Somatic Hypnotherapy

What is Somatic Hypnotherapy? Somatic Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that combines elements of hypnotherapy with body awareness. It helps you connect with your body’s wisdom, releasing stored tension and emotions, and resolving psychological and physical issues by tapping into your subconscious mind. The therapy focuses on the mind-body connection to promote healing and well-being.

Sessions may include guided visualization, breathing techniques, and mindful body awareness exercises.
