He came to me as a complete skeptic. Therapy, hypnotherapy, breathwork—it all sounded a bit “out there” to him. He had never tried anything like it before and only agreed to a few sessions because his sister encouraged him.
His main struggles were anxiety, constant self-consciousness, and a relentless inner critic that made him feel like he wasn’t good enough. He constantly worried that people were judging him and doubted his own abilities, especially in his work and business. His heart would race and his body would sweat and shake.
At first, he wasn’t sure anything could help—but over the course of just four sessions, everything had shifted.
Understanding the Problem
Anxiety can make even small decisions feel overwhelming, and self-consciousness can prevent us from showing up fully in life. For this client, the inner critic was a loud, constant voice telling him he wasn’t enough. Every step forward in his business felt risky, and every social interaction felt scrutinized.
These are struggles many people face—but they often think, “I just have to live with this,” or feel skeptical that therapy can truly help.
The Approach
We worked together using a combination of techniques designed to address anxiety, self-doubt, and inner criticism:
Hypnotherapy to create deep relaxation and shift limiting beliefs.
Breathwork to manage anxiety in the moment and bring calm to the nervous system.
Inner critic and inner child work to understand the origins of self-doubt and reframe the narrative that was holding him back.
Each session built on the last, and the client quickly began to notice shifts—not just in his thinking, but in how he felt in his body, and how he showed up in life.
The Transformation
By the end of four sessions, he felt like he had his life back. His anxiety had lessened, he was back in control, the inner critic was quieter, and he was able to approach work, social situations, and his business with confidence. He wasn’t just coping anymore—he was taking meaningful steps forward, feeling capable and empowered.
From a skeptic to someone who now trusts in the process and in himself, his journey is a reminder that even a few focused sessions can create profound change.
