Hypnosis that heals at the root

Most hypnosis focuses on fast behavior change, and in many cases, it works. But quick fixes don't always last, and sometimes a resolved habit just resurfaces in a new form. Someone quits drinking and starts overeating. Someone stops smoking and starts nail biting. That's because the behavior was never really the problem. It was a symptom of an underlying emotion that still needed somewhere to go.

The core of my practice is helping people become free of longstanding or recurring emotional patterns — sadness, anger, fear, stress — that resurface again and again regardless of what triggers them.

I offer rapid behavior-change hypnosis when that's what someone needs, including for smoking, drinking, and other unwanted habits, and my core practice uses a deeper protocol: one that finds and releases the old, stuck emotions underneath unwanted behaviors. When those emotions are released, the behavior change that follows tends to happen easily, and without new unwanted habits popping up somewhere else.

This approach has deep clinical roots. Similar hypnotic protocols were used successfully to treat even combat-related trauma during both World Wars and have continued to be used since.

I'm Brad Mewhort, a certified clinical hypnotist based in the Pacific Northwest. My background includes training in somatic practices, meditation, and relational work, which informs an approach to hypnotherapy that is grounded, attentive, and deeply respectful of your experience.
