Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy for Deep Thinkers

Hypnotherapy That Meets You Where Thinking Can’t Reach

Hi, I’m Rebecca, an attachment-focused trauma therapist, and certified clinical hypnotherapist, offering clinical hypnosis in San Antonio.

This isn’t magic. It’s a science-backed, mind-body approach that helps you reconnect with yourself and with the calm that’s always been there.

If you're a reflective, sensitive woman, carrying anxiety, attachment wounds, past trauma, grief, or a relentless inner critic, you’ve found your place here.

At Vita Counseling Center, I offer trauma-informed hypnotherapy, in-person and online, tailored for deep thinkers and sensitive feelers who want to heal at the level their body and story have always been hoping for.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, hypnotherapy works with the deeper layers of the subconscious mind, where beliefs, emotional imprints, and body-based memories live.

It’s not about forcing change from the outside in, but allowing real change to unfold from the inside out.

This is about tuning back into the part of you that’s always been wise, calm, 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 create lasting shifts in how you feel, think, and respond.

Imagine that quiet moment before sleep when the world fades and your mind begins to drift inward, that’s where the work begins.

In that liminal space, the walls between logic and emotion soften, and change starts to feel less like effort and more like remembering.

As your inner world reorganizes, you may notice unexpected lightness, more ease in your body, more clarity in your choices.

It’s not about magic. It’s a research-backed way that helps you remember what your mind and body already know: how to find calm, safety, and inner steadiness again.

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 far more empowering.

Hypnotherapy helps you repattern what your mind understands but your body still lives out.

Many women find that Hypnotherapy supports the inner repair that unfolds alongside Attachment and Trauma & PTSD healing, restoring calm, clarity, and self-trust.

Why Hypnotherapy?

You know yourself well.

You’ve reflected, analyzed, and tried to make sense of it all. You understand why you feel the way you do, yet something deeper still stirs beneath the surface.

It shows up in these moments:

  • Wondering if you’re enough.

  • Replaying past conversations long after they’ve ended.

  • Saying yes when part of you means no.

  • Waking up with your mind already racing ahead.

  • Noticing how old wounds keep finding new shapes.

  • Recognizing how grief lingers quietly in the background, shaping your days more than you’d like.

  • Collaborative Healing: I’ll bring clinical skill and deep presence. You bring yourself. Through this mind–body approach, you’ll begin to feel more centered, clear-minded, and rooted in who you are.

What Can Change With Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can help heal trauma, lower anxiety, quiet the urge to be perfect and people please, and support a more secure attachment style.

Grief softens. The ache of stops consuming every corner of your life, making space again for love and peace.

  • Yes! It's highly effective at easing anxiety by adjusting underlying thought patterns, fostering peace and lasting confidence.

  • It allows us to gently address past traumas, helping to ease the pain and fear associated with those memories.

  • 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.
