Your therapist will help you determine the best approach for your journey.

Your first session is about getting to know your therapist and discussing your goals. Expect to:

📝 Share Your Story – Your therapist will ask about your background & concerns.
💡 Set Therapy Goals – Define what you want to achieve from therapy.
📖 Understand the Process – Learn about your therapist’s approach and next steps.

It’s normal to feel nervous, but therapy is a judgment-free space for healing.

Hypnosis, on the other hand, is a therapeutic technique that guides you into a deep state of relaxation and focused awareness. It is commonly used to address subconscious patterns, overcome fears, and facilitate behavioral changes. While Reiki primarily focuses on energy flow, hypnosis works directly with the mind, helping to reframe thoughts and establish positive habits. Both techniques complement each other well and can be used together to achieve comprehensive wellness goals.

Signs that therapy is benefiting you include:

🌱 Increased Self-Awareness – You recognize thoughts & behaviors more clearly.
🛠 Improved Coping Skills – You handle stress and emotions more effectively.
💬 Better Communication – Your relationships improve through open conversations.
😌 Feeling More Empowered – You gain confidence in managing life’s challenges.

If you ever feel like you’re not making progress, talk to your therapist about adjusting your approach.

Absolutely! Finding the right therapist is crucial for effective therapy. If you feel like your therapist isn’t the right fit:

🔄 Discuss your concerns – They may be able to adjust their approach.
🔍 Search for another provider – It’s okay to explore different therapists.
🎯 Prioritize comfort – A strong therapist-client relationship is key to progress.
