Why Traditional Counseling and Talk Therapy May Not Have Worked for You—And How The UnHypnotist Can Help

If you’ve ever tried traditional counseling or talk therapy and felt like it didn’t work for you, you’re not alone. Many people seek therapy with the hope of finding relief, clarity, and a path forward—only to feel stuck, frustrated, or like they’re endlessly talking about problems without resolving them.

This isn’t to say that talk therapy doesn’t work—it’s helped countless people and remains a valuable tool in the world of mental health. But the reality is, traditional therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. If you’ve felt like something was missing or like you’ve hit a wall, it might be time to explore a different approach.

That’s where I come in. I’m Dr. Shane, The UnHypnotist. My goal isn’t to keep you talking about your problems week after week—it’s to help you break free from the subconscious patterns and negative trances that keep you stuck so you can finally find relief, healing, and lasting mental wellbeing.
Why Traditional Counseling and Talk Therapy May Not Have Worked

Traditional therapy often focuses on the conscious mind—analyzing thoughts, exploring past experiences, and discussing emotions. While this approach can be effective for some, it has limitations:

  1. The Conscious Mind vs. The Subconscious Mind

Most of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are driven by the subconscious mind. The conscious mind—the part you use to talk through your problems in therapy—makes up only a small fraction of your mental activity.

Traditional therapy often stays at the surface level, working with the conscious mind.
If the root of your struggles lies in subconscious patterns, traditional therapy might not be able to reach or resolve them effectively.
  1. The Endless Loop of Talking

Talking about your problems can bring temporary relief, but it doesn’t always lead to solutions.

Rehashing the same issues week after week can create an endless loop, reinforcing the very patterns you’re trying to change.
You might gain insight into why you feel a certain way, but insight alone doesn’t always lead to transformation.
  1. Lack of Tools for Immediate Relief

Many people seek therapy because they want to feel better—not months from now, but as soon as possible.

Traditional therapy often focuses on exploration and understanding, which takes time.
While these are important, they may not provide the immediate tools you need to feel relief in the moment.
  1. The Overemphasis on Labels

Traditional therapy often involves diagnosing and labeling conditions. While labels can help provide clarity, they can also create a sense of identity around the problem.

For example, being diagnosed with anxiety or depression might make you feel like these conditions define you, reinforcing feelings of helplessness.
Instead of breaking free, you may feel trapped by the label itself.

How The UnHypnotist Can Help You Find Relief

If traditional therapy hasn’t worked for you, it doesn’t mean you’re beyond help—it means you might need a different approach. My practice as The UnHypnotist focuses on working with your subconscious mind to address the root causes of your struggles, providing relief and empowering change.

Here’s how I can help:

  1. Breaking the Negative Trances

A negative trance is a subconscious state where limiting beliefs, emotional patterns, and repetitive thoughts keep you stuck.

Examples of negative trances include:
    “I’ll never be good enough.”
    “I can’t change.”
    “This is just who I am.”

These trances often operate below your awareness, making them hard to break through traditional therapy alone. Through hypnosis, we can identify and dissolve these patterns, helping you step into a more empowered state of mind.

  1. Working Directly with the Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind is where real transformation happens.

Hypnosis allows us to bypass the critical, analytical mind and access the subconscious directly.
In this relaxed state, we can reprogram limiting beliefs, release emotional blocks, and create new, positive patterns.
  1. Providing Immediate Tools for Change

My goal isn’t to keep you coming back for endless sessions—it’s to help you find relief as quickly as possible.

Many clients experience significant shifts in just one or two sessions.
Hypnosis provides immediate tools for managing anxiety, releasing fear, and creating a sense of calm and control.
  1. Focusing on Solutions, Not Labels

Instead of diagnosing you with a condition, I focus on helping you find solutions.

You’re not defined by your struggles or your past.
Hypnosis helps you reconnect with your strengths, resources, and potential, empowering you to move forward.

What Happens in a Session with The UnHypnotist?

If you’ve never experienced hypnosis, you might be wondering what it’s like. Here’s what you can expect during a session:

  1. Initial Consultation We’ll start by discussing your goals and challenges.
    I’ll listen to your story, but unlike traditional therapy, we won’t dwell on the past—we’ll focus on where you want to go.
  2. Hypnosis Session You’ll enter a state of deep relaxation, similar to a daydream or meditation.
    In this state, your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and change.
    I’ll guide you through visualizations, affirmations, and techniques to help you release negative patterns and create new, empowering ones.
  3. Post-Session Integration After the session, you’ll feel calm, focused, and clear.
    I’ll provide tools and strategies to reinforce the changes we’ve made, helping you integrate them into your daily life.

Real Results: Stories of Transformation

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of clients who felt stuck or let down by traditional therapy. Here are just a few examples:

Anxiety Relief in One Session: A client who had been in therapy for years for anxiety came to me feeling hopeless. In just one session, we addressed the root cause of their anxiety and replaced it with a sense of calm and confidence.

Overcoming Trauma: Another client had spent years talking about a traumatic event without feeling any relief. Through hypnosis, we reframed the emotional memory, allowing them to release the pain and move forward.

Breaking Bad Habits: A long-time smoker who had tried everything to quit finally broke free after one session. They described it as flipping a switch in their mind.

Why This Approach Works

The key to transformation isn’t just understanding your problems—it’s reprogramming the subconscious patterns that drive them.

Traditional therapy helps you understand the ‘why.’
Hypnosis helps you change the ‘how.’

By addressing the subconscious directly, hypnosis provides faster, deeper, and more lasting results than talk therapy alone.
