In this episode, I'll be chatting with Clarissa Tu, a certified hypnotherapist, to discuss the profound impact of hypnotherapy on fertility and self-compassion. Clarissa shares her personal journey of seeking validation from external sources and how hypnotherapy helped her and her clients to connect with their deeper selves and heal core issues.
We dive into topics such as the importance of embodying self-compassion, the balance between masculine and feminine energies, and the transformative power of hypnosis in overcoming fertility challenges. Clarissa also provides practical tips for those new to hypnosis and offers a free hypnosis sample for listeners.
The Journey to Mindful Motherhood
In this soul-nourishing discussion, we explore how hypnotherapy can help us connect to our deeper selves, heal core issues, and ultimately enhance our fertility experience. Clarissa shares her personal journey and professional insights into how hypnosis leads to self-compassion and a trusting relationship with our bodies.
Overcoming External Validation Through Hypnosis
Clarissa’s path to becoming a hypnotherapist began with her struggles of constantly seeking validation from external sources. For many women, the journey to motherhood can be fraught with expectations and timelines, creating undue stress. Hypnotherapy helped Clarissa and her clients dive deep into their subconscious to address these core issues and find healing.
“Through hypnosis, I discovered what I truly crave beneath the surface. It’s not just about having a baby, but understanding the deeper needs for self-love and fulfillment,” explains Clarissa.
The First Steps to Hypnotherapy
The journey to self-discovery through hypnotherapy isn’t an overnight transformation. Clarissa emphasizes that while the first session can crack open a new world of self-awareness, it is through multiple sessions that meaningful, transformative change occurs.
“Each session builds upon the previous one, allowing us to go deeper and deeper into our subconscious, revealing and healing underlying issues,” she says.
Easing Into Hypnotherapy
Katie and Clarissa discuss the common barriers and fears about hypnotherapy, including the fear of doing it “wrong.” Clarissa advises those interested in hypnotherapy to release perfectionism and simply show up for the experience.
“Even if you feel your mind is bouncing around during a session, just being there is a step towards healing. With time, your mind will become more comfortable and receptive,” Clarissa assures.
Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies
A significant part of the conversation focuses on balancing masculine and feminine energies in our daily lives. Katie shares her own experience of being entrenched in masculine energy during her fertility journey, driven by an endless checklist and rigid schedules.
“Being in the state of hypnosis helps transition us from the fight-or-flight, masculine energy to a restful, receptive, feminine state, conducive to fertility,” Clarissa adds.
Hypnotherapy in Practice
Clarissa highlights that hypnotherapy not only helps in relaxation but also allows us to access our subconscious and reclaim our intuitive wisdom. This process can be particularly empowering during a fertility journey, providing women with a sense of control and inner peace.
“Hypnotherapy offers a supportive space for clients to rest, explore their inner selves, and receive messages from their intuitive, subconscious mind,” Clarissa notes.
Connecting with Ancestral Wisdom
One unique aspect of Clarissa’s hypnotherapy practice is the inclusion of ancestral guides. She explains that connecting with maternal lineage during hypnosis can be incredibly healing, offering support and wisdom from past generations.
“Our ancestors can provide reassurance and guidance, helping to heal generational traumas and strengthening our connection to both our past and future,” says Clarissa.
