Anu came into therapy deeply distressed after her husband chose to separate. She wasn’t just emotionally overwhelmed — her body was responding too. Persistent pain in her shoulders and lower back reflected the weight she was carrying inside.
She was stuck in loops of self-blame and confusion: “What went wrong?” “Was it my fault?” Her daily life was affected, and even simple tasks felt exhausting.
Using Cognitive Hypnotic Psychotherapy, the therapist first focused on creating emotional safety. Through guided hypnosis, the ABCDE model, and metaphor therapy, Anu began to process her grief, release emotional pain, and gently shift her thought patterns.
As clarity grew, her physical symptoms eased. She reconnected with her strengths and values. By the end of the process, Anu wasn’t just coping — she was making empowered decisions, anchored in self-trust.
✨ This case shows how an integrative approach can help clients move from emotional paralysis to resilience.
👉 Want to learn how to work with such cases in your own practice?

🧠 Your Body Speaks the Mind’s Language
Anxiety, anger, peace — each emotion leaves a physical footprint.
💬 Tight chest. Tense muscles. Calm breath.

This isn’t coincidence — it’s the mind-body connection in action.
Understanding it isn’t just helpful — it’s essential for effective therapy.

At ICHARS, we help therapists harness this connection to create deep, lasting change.
