Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy for Deep Thinkers
Transform the Way You Talk to Yourself: From the Inside Out
Hi, I’m Rebecca, a trauma-informed therapist, and certified clinical hypnotherapist, offering trauma-informed hypnotherapy in San Antonio. This isn’t magic. It’s a gentle, science-backed way of reconnecting with yourself and the calm that’s always been there - quiet, but waiting.
If you're a thoughtful, reflective person, carrying anxiety, people pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, attachment wounds, past trauma, grief, emotional burnout, or old beliefs that no longer serve you, you’ve found your place here.
At Vita Counseling Center, I offer hypnotherapy and hypnosis in San Antonio and online, tailored for deep thinkers and feelers who crave something deeper and more transformative than quick fixes.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, hypnotherapy works with the deeper layers of the mind - where beliefs, patterns, and emotional imprints live. It’s not about forcing change from the outside in, but allowing change to unfold from the inside out.
This is about tuning back into the part of you that’s always been wise, steady, and whole - even if that part’s been hard to hear lately.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a gentle yet powerful process that helps you access the subconscious - the part of your mind that holds patterns, beliefs, and emotional scripts you’re ready to release.
It’s a fully conscious state of absorbed, focused attention. And it’s where we work together to shift what's no longer serving you and move toward your therapy goals. As your inner world softens and reorganizes, you may notice unexpected lightness, more ease in your body, more clarity in your choices.
This isn’t magic - it’s a science-backed way to reconnect with the part of you that’s wise, grounded, and ready to rise - even if it’s been quiet for a while.
This isn't about mind control - it’s about working with your inner world. Grounded in the work of Dr. Milton Erickson, hypnosis treats your subconscious not as something to override, but as a wise inner ally.
And when we work together? We’ll help your subconscious shift out of survival mode and into something calmer, kinder, and a lot more empowerin
Hypnosis helps you repattern long-held beliefs and internal loops - the kind that talking alone can’t always shift.
♡ Imagine waking up without the constant mental chatter.
♡ Imagine saying no without guilt, and trusting yourself again.
♡ Hypnotherapy makes this kind of healing possible.
Why Hypnotherapy, and Why Now?
You’ve read the books. Had the talks. Watched the reels. Listened to the podcasts. Analyzed it all. And yet, something still feels amiss.
You’re tired of:
Feeling like you’re not quite enough.
Overthinking text messages and past conversations.
Saying yes when you want to say no.
Waking up with your mind already going.
Carrying old wounds that show up in new ways.
Living with grief that lingers in the background, shaping your days more than you’d like.
What Makes Trauma-Informed Hypnosis Different?
When trauma’s part of your story, you deserve a space that feels steady and grounded. That’s what trauma-informed hypnosis offers. It’s woven through everything I do.
Empowering Through Understanding: It’s not about fixing you. It’s about honoring how your past shaped your present, and helping you shift patterns gently and sustainably.
A Grounded, Spacious Place: We’ll move at your nervous system’s pace, with what you need always at the center.
Collaborative Healing: I’ll bring clinical skills and deep presence. You bring yourself. Together, we’ll help you feel centered, clearer, and more rooted in yourself.
What Can Change With Trauma-Informed Hypnosis
Your nervous system finally settles. You move through your days without feeling like you’re always on edge.
Old patterns change. Instead of self-sacrifice, you can choose self-respect and healthier boundaries. Hypnotherapy can help heal trauma, shift people pleasing and perfectionism patterns, and support a healthier attachment style.
Grief softens. The ache of grief stops consuming every corner of your life, making more room for love and presence.
Anxiety quiets. The constant hum of worry and self-doubt no longer runs the show.
A healthier sense of self takes root. Stored pain releases, and you begin to move through life with more steadiness and ease.

While all of these practices involve some level of inward focus, hypnotherapy is different in both its intention and depth. It’s not primarily about relaxation, though some clients may feel relaxed during it. Hypnotherapy involves an absorbed, focused state of attention, much like being deeply engaged in a book, painting, or piece of music.
Meditation and mindfulness usually center on observing thoughts or staying present, and guided imagery often promotes calm through visualization. Hypnotherapy, on the other hand, uses focused attention to work directly with the subconscious mind. This allows us to access deeper patterns, uncover insights, and create meaningful change.
Rather than simply promoting well-being in the moment, hypnotherapy is a collaborative, therapeutic process aimed at helping you shift long-standing patterns from the inside out.
