Hypnotherapy is a unique experience…

In the simplest terms, hypnosis is a unique experience and certainly a unique experience I came across in a confusing period of my life. Coming here was a spontaneous decision, but I am convinced it was not a coincidence. I came more or less unprepared, without big expectations, I only knew I needed “something.” Bingo! Regardless of the topics I had chosen for the therapy, and I have to say they were neither pleasant nor easy, the sessions themselves were a very enjoyable experience. One isn’t even aware that he doesn’t have to deal with what troubles him, burdens him and blocks him in a tedious and difficult way.

Hypnotherapy should not be idealized or perceived as a magic wand, because there is no such thing. There is no place, time or technique that will “fix” us. The most valuable thing I got from the sessions is the perspective and the tools I can use to help myself and make it easier for myself. Sessions were lead by Petra, who is indeed an angel and a blessing for anyone who meets her. Each therapy was tailored to fit me, my needs and the current state of my mind, heart and soul. Now when I’m thinking about it in retrospect, I do not see it as a therapy in a usual sense of the word. By “therapy“ we mainly think of diagnosis and prescribed therapy that follows. I feel that the purpose of hypnotherapy was to see better a lot of things in my life, to determine what’s most important and to simply relax. That I can through everything without a lump in one’s throat. It does not matter what happens outside while there is peace on the inside. Hypnotherapy helped me become aware of what I’ve always known about myself: that I am strong enough and capable enough to be ok regardless of the situation I find myself in. It was like before I had been in a room with a door which led to a balcony with a view on a beautiful garden but the curtains were drawn and for some reason I wasn’t aware that I couldn’t see the garden only because I didn’t move the curtains. Petra was the one who pointed out that the curtains were there and that I just needed to move them aside to open the view and to light up the room. The more I work on it and think about it, the more I’m aware of the view, the beautiful garden I see now, and the fact that the door had a doorknob that just needs to be turned so that the garden is not just a nice view but I can also touch it, smell it, feel the fresh air and enjoy all the beauty it offers. I carry this knowledge with me and I will never be able to put a price tag on it. It is simply a blessing and a fortune. I will always be grateful to Petra for teaching me that, and I recommend to anyone who feels lost, overwhelmed or hopeless to come there. Hypnotherapy is a gift we give ourselves, and with Petra you couldn’t be in better hands.
