HYPNOTHERAPY: A Powerful Healing Modality

Episode #39: January 30th, 2025

THE GOLD FROM THIS EPISODE

“Hypnotherapy is incredible for helping people change a behavior and create something new in their life. All we need is an unconscious mind (which we all have) and the ability to follow instructions.”

Melissa Deally

Mind-Body Integrative Practitioner

“Being hypnotized is a really deep state of relaxation where your unconscious mind is working for you and allowing in the suggestions of whatever you’ve worked with the hypnotherapist for what you want to create in your life.”

Melissa Deally

Mind-Body Integrative Practitioner

“Hypnosis gives you 10,000 times the focus because you’re accessing the 90% of your unconscious mind.”

Melissa Deally

Mind-Body Integrative Practitioner

“Hypnotherapy is where we are working with the conscious mind and the unconscious mind, and bringing people into a deep enough state of trance that their critical faculty, which is a barrier between the two minds, completely comes down.”

Melissa Deally

Mind-Body Integrative Practitioner

“The hypnotherapist is working with you to help achieve whatever behavioral change you’re looking for. You are always in control. It’s not the hypnotherapist doing anything to you. The hypnotherapist is a guide, and your unconscious mind is the coach and it's in charge of whether you're going to do.”

Melissa Deally

Mind-Body Integrative Practitioner

“Time Line therapy releases the seven negative emotions that have been stuffed down: Anger, sadness, hurt, guilt, rage, shame, and fear.”

Melissa Deally

Mind-Body Integrative Practitioner

“Every human being shares one of the four limiting beliefs: Unlovable, unworthy, powerless, or not good enough. When we release the emotional toxicity of all that weighted down emotion from the past, we can release the mental toxicity of limiting decisions.

Melissa Deally

Mind-Body Integrative Practitioner

“Focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want. The unconscious mind doesn't process negatives.”

in THIS EPISODE

  • Integrative Health Practitioner Melissa Deally explains how Hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can accelerate physical and emotional healing. 

  • We discuss the difference between traditional psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, and how maximizing the power of the unconscious mind (90% of the brain) can significantly shift your emotional state to overcome obstacles that prevent you from achieving your goals.

  • Struggling with debilitating migraines, and searching for answers to her kids’ multiple health issues, Melissa was frustrated with conventional medicine’s hyper focus on symptoms. With the help of a naturopath, she was able to heal herself and her daughters with a systemic approach and personalized nutrition. 

  • The transformative experiences in her own family prompted Melissa to abandon a 24-year corporate career and become a holistic practitioner. While formulating wellness plans for clients, she was struck by the way some people were able to make necessary behavioral changes and others were not.

  • Seeing the effectiveness of hypnotherapy to break through barriers that got in the way of people’s success, Melissa incorporated this alternate healing modality and others in her practice, with dramatic results.

  • She’s fine-tuned techniques that empower people to release emotional trauma, move past limiting beliefs, manage triggers, and cultivate positive habits to achieve foundational change and quality of life.

  • Melissa teaches us several of these techniques on the show so you can use them yourself to go after your next It Has To Be Me!
