Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, focused practice that invites the mind into a relaxed, inward state. At Changed by Fire, hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary modality to support emotional healing and resilience in life after a burn injury.
Many survivors face ongoing stress, anxiety, or difficulty reconnecting with their sense of self after trauma. Hypnotherapy offers a calm, supportive way to explore thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that may be holding someone back from deeper healing.
How Hypnotherapy Supports Burn Recovery
Hypnotherapy uses guided attention and visualization to help individuals shift into a relaxed mental state, similar to meditation. This inward focus allows people to explore memories, emotions, and internal narratives with curiosity and safety.
For burn survivors, hypnotherapy may support:
-
Calming anxiety or emotional overwhelm
-
Improving sleep or restfulness
-
Releasing fear related to medical trauma
-
Building a stronger mind-body connection
-
Exploring inner strength and healing potential
Each session is tailored to the individual and grounded in consent and choice.
What to Expect During a Session
Hypnotherapy is not stage hypnosis or mind control. You remain fully aware and in control throughout the process.
A typical session may include:
-
A brief conversation about goals, emotions, or focus areas
-
Guided breathing or grounding to promote relaxation
-
Visualization, inner exploration, or affirmation-based techniques
-
A gentle return to full awareness
Sessions are conducted in a quiet, calm setting, and survivors are always free to pause or adjust as needed.
