Words are powerful vessels of communication, but their impact transcends mere definitions. While dictionaries may provide explanations, the true essence and significance of words lie within our internal interpretation. It’s our personal experiences, emotions, and beliefs that give meaning to the words we encounter. Consider the word “love.” On its own, it’s just a combination of letters, a sequence of sounds. However, the meaning of “love” varies greatly from person to person. For some, it evokes feelings of warmth, connection, and affection. For others, it may be associated with pain, longing, or vulnerability. The difference lies in the individual’s unique…

In our exploration of various therapeutic modalities, hypnotherapy often emerges as an intriguing yet misunderstood field. I want to see if I can demystify hypnotherapy for some of you by steering clear from popular misconceptions of stage hypnosis and instead, draw an analogy to a lighthouse guiding vessels through stormy seas.

Amidst this chaos, imagine sighting a lighthouse in…

Firstly, let’s differentiate between stage hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy. Stage hypnosis…

The thought that “you are not a victim of circumstances, you are the creator of the circumstances” highlights the power of personal agency and the role individuals play in shaping their lives.

It reminds us that we have the capacity to shape our lives and responses to external events,…
