My hypnotherapy experience with A

This blog post delves into a rather unconventional experience, but one I feel compelled to recount in English, perhaps because the hypnotherapy session itself unfolded in this language.

The journey began casually this morning, as I mentioned to A my curiosity about hypnotherapy. Without hesitation, she agreed to join me in this venture. Despite having explored self-hypnosis and glimpsed past lives in my mind's eye, I had never before used this technique to confront present-day challenges. Thus, I approached the session with a mix of excitement and apprehension.

A arrived, and with a gentle, calming voice, she guided me into a realm of imagination. I found myself in a luminous space adorned with white pillows and scattered feathers, an ethereal setting that felt akin to purgatory, suspended amidst billowing clouds. A prompted me to reach out and touch the clouds, but their elusive nature led her to suggest I jump instead. As I descended onto a grassy meadow, a path unveiled itself, beckoning me into a tropical forest. Along this path stood a colossal tree, exuding a sense of protection and empowerment.

Venturing deeper into the forest with A as my guide, I encountered a smiling snail and a deer that resonated with a part of myself. The deer expressed a desire for shelter and the planting of trees along its path out of the forest. After fulfilling this request, the deer bounded off on its own, leaving me overcome with a sense of loss and shedding tears. Yet, I understood the necessity of letting go.

Returning to the forest, I sought solace by the giant tree, despite an awareness of unseen creatures lurking nearby. A's voice gently brought me back to the present, and I opened my eyes.

In reflecting upon the experience with A, we both noted similar sensations, despite my remaining fully conscious throughout. The intensity of my emotions, particularly the heartache and tears, affirmed the depth of my subconscious exploration.

Ultimately, the session unveiled that my insecurity stemmed not from financial concerns but from my support system in Singapore, symbolized by the forest. While it did not provide a direct answer, the session illuminated a path forward. It was a profound experience that I trust will guide me toward a brighter future.
