Inner Key Hypnotherapy - Nevada City, California

I called Danielle when I wanted to work through what I considered a debilitating fear of heights. She is amazing! With her help, I have pretty much conquered my fear! I feel so much freer and confident when I come upon situations that would give me anxiety. Danielle has given me the tools to use if I find myself in those situations. If you are in need of a fantastic hypnotherapist, look no further than Inner Key Hypnotherapy.

We had such a great experience with Danielle. My son loved working with her and felt so comfortable talking with her. The sessions definitely helped over come an obstacle that we had been dealing with for years and now it's resolved thanks to Danielle. I will definitely be recommending her services to anyone that would need them

I worked with Danielle at inner key to free myself from tobacco addiction. I have never experienced hypnotherapy previous to these last 10 weeks. I wanted to want to quit smoking, not really wanted to but wished I wanted to. otherwise I lived a incredibly healthy lifestyle, but as a 21+ year smoker found it easier to excuse my unhealthy habit with things like “I don’t smoke that much” “it’s balance to my otherwise healthful lifestyle” and “i only smoke organic tobacco “. I worried that being in social situations with other smokers (there are many in my beloved friend group) or situations where I was drinking alcohol and the lowered inhibitions that occur would be stumbling blocks. I worried that I wasn’t going to have a strong enough willpower and would fail. Or that being a non smoker would somehow change the image I have of myself.
All of those fears have left. I’m not “trying to quit smoking “ anymore, I just don’t smoke and it’s ok. I don’t desire it on a chemical level or otherwise. It also doesn’t bother me to be around smokers, which was another fear I held.

And it’s as trippy as it sounds.

It’s nothing like hypnosis from pop culture. (You are getting very sleepy! ⏱)

Here’s what goes down...

A really lovely empathic human (Danielle) speaks kindly to you whilst you recline in a very comfortable chair. Her voice has a certain cadence to it that must be part of the magic because it soothes you into a meditative state. Kind of like being in between asleep and awake. And in this state you are guided somewhat like a guided meditation to release the false beliefs you are keeping in order to keep your habit alive. And over the course of of a few weeks the things I had believed that had kept my habit well fed started to slowly die back and fall away and I stoped caring about smoking and I stopped obsessing over quitting smoking because it just didn’t matter anymore.
I didn’t have a chemical dependency on nicotine anymore... which is beyond trippy. How did I not have to have withdrawals to a chemical I had been dependent on for so long! I certainly want to learn more about the science aspect of hypnotherapy.
Some of the sessions were really deep and emotional and some were easy and lighthearted. Some I consciously resisted and stayed near “the surface “ and some (especially as I became more comfortable with the process) I dove into the depth and of my subconscious and swam about overturning rocks and debris to see what lurked in the darker places. I always was in complete control. Danielle never told me what to do, but rather asked me to do the best thing for me, encouragement rather than suggestion.

I just want to encourage those whom might want to try out hypnotherapy but feel like it’s shrouded in mystery. (Which it kind of is a little to me even still )I know that deep within I wanted to make this change and needed help and encouragement. And the whole complete loss of physical dependency sure didn’t hurt 😂

Hopefully y’all know a little of what to expect after reading this and it makes it easier for you to move forward if it’s something you are considering.
