Discover the Transformative Power of Hypnopsychotherapy & Hypnoanalysis at Claire Russell Therapy

At Claire Russell Therapy Limerick, East Cork, West Waterford and ONLINE, we believe that true healing begins when you address the underlying causes of your mental, emotional, physical, and relationship challenges. Our pioneering approach to hypnopsychotherapy and hypnoanalysis integrates the precise techniques of clinical hypnotherapy with evidence‐based psychodynamic, cognitive, and mindfulness therapies. This comprehensive, holistic method not only alleviates symptoms but also delivers enduring change to your overall wellbeing, energy, and quality of life—helping you overcome overwhelm and achieve lasting transformation.

What Is Hypnopsychotherapy & Hypnoanalysis?

Hypnopsychotherapy—also known as hypnoanalysis or analytical hypnotherapy—is a core psychotherapeutic modality that combines hypnotic language and processes with traditional, evidence‐based therapeutic techniques. By coming gently into a relaxed, safe and comfortable, trance‐like state, we access your subconscious mind—the extensive repository of your memories, emotions, and behaviours—to identify and resolve the root causes of psychological, somatic, and hormonal distress.

Based on the doctrine of “Cause and Effect,” our hypnoanalysis does more than merely mask symptoms; it uncovers and dissolves deep‐seated emotional triggers, neurophysiological imbalances, and hormonal dysregulations associated with conditions such as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), PMS,  Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), chronic stress, overwhelm, and neuropathic pain. This process often leads to a moment of liberating insight and emotional catharsis, typically within eight to twelve sessions—providing accelerated healing that may preclude the need for extensive traditional psychoanalysis.

“Trance is a natural everyday experience.”
– Milton Erickson

The Scientific Process Behind Our Hypnopsychotherapy

Accessing the Subconscious for Neuroplastic Change

At Claire Russell Therapy, ONLINE or in-person,  I guide you into a profoundly relaxed state where the barriers between your conscious and subconscious are gently diminished. In this state, techniques such as free association, guided imagery, and the affect bridge enable us to trace your symptoms—ranging from mental health issues to physical and hormonal imbalances—back to their origins. This process reveals repressed emotional conflicts and maladaptive neural patterns, facilitating powerful emotional catharsis and subsequent neuroplastic changes that restore inner equilibrium and energy balance.

The “Cause and Effect” Principle in Action

Our approach is underpinned by the belief that every symptom—whether psychological, somatic, or hormonal—has an identifiable underlying cause. When you enter the hypnotic state, our therapy targets these causes, including repressed traumas, unresolved grief, chronic negative thought patterns, and dysregulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. By confronting and resolving these issues directly, you experience a release that leads to enduring transformation, improved autonomic regulation, and overall psychosomatic balance. This efficient process often results in significant improvements within weeks, in contrast to the prolonged timelines of conventional therapy.

Accelerated Healing Through Conscious Hypnosis

One of the distinctive strengths of hypnopsychotherapy is its capacity to accelerate healing. Traditional therapeutic methods may require extensive hours to achieve meaningful change; however, by harnessing the focussed state induced by hypnosis, we fast‐track both emotional and physiological healing. This approach enhances cognitive restructuring, modulates neuroimmune responses, and fosters rapid improvements in mental clarity, emotional stability, physical health, and hormonal balance.

How Our Hypnoanalysis Process Works: A Detailed Step-by-Step Overview

Step 1: Creating a Safe, Trusting Environment

Your journey to healing begins with establishing a secure, empathetic space at Claire Russell Therapy. We carefully assess your medical history, psychological profile, and specific symptoms, ensuring you understand the hypnopsychotherapy process and feel comfortable and empowered from the very first session.

Step 2: Inducing the Hypnotic State

Using scientifically calibrated techniques—including soothing verbal cues, progressive muscle relaxation, and focussed imagery—you are guided into a deep, trance-like state. This state of conscious hypnosis enhances your ability to access subconscious memories, modulate neural circuits, and activate neuroplastic mechanisms for transformative healing.

Step 3: Accessing and Uncovering Subconscious Causes

Once in a hypnotic state, our experienced therapist employs methods such as free association and guided imagery to trace your symptoms to their neurophysiological and psychological origins. This exploration allows repressed emotions, traumatic memories, and dysfunctional patterns—whether they be related to mental health, hormonal imbalances, or physical ailments—to surface in a controlled and supportive environment.

Step 4: Emotional Catharsis and Cognitive Reframing

As repressed material is revealed, you may experience a powerful cathartic release that recalibrates your emotional and neural responses. This critical turning point fosters cognitive restructuring, enabling you to reframe negative beliefs and reduce maladaptive stress responses, thereby alleviating overwhelm and restoring balance.

Step 5: Integration and Lasting Change

Following each of your sessions which the above steps are built upon progressively, at a rate and speed appropriate for each individual, we collaborate closely to integrate these profound insights into your daily life. Through follow-up sessions, further techniques, and complementary interventions—such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MB CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)—you develop a robust toolkit for sustained emotional resilience, improved physical health, hormonal regulation, and long-term energy balance.
