Hypnotherapy & Past Life Regression with Stephanie Riseley

Something I wish more people knew: Anger and addiction aren't really willpower problems. They're brain patterns — neural pathways that have been reinforced for years, sometimes decades, until they feel completely automatic. The hopeful part? Your brain can actually change. At any age. Even at 72, like my client Ray.
His story — and the outhouse moment that rewired everything — is on the blog. It's one of my favorites to share. 🔗 READ MORE >>> https://bit.ly/4mBgYUd

Some souls don’t come to stay. They come to change you — and then they go home. 🕊️ This week’s blog is Judy’s story. She lost her 27-year-old son. He showed up in my office before she did.
What happened next — a warship, Napoleon’s fleet, and three words her soul already knew — is the kind of thing that reminds me exactly why I do this work. Leaders lead.💙 READ MORE>> https://bit.ly/48GDhSD

Are you afraid to love? 💙

Have you ever pulled away right when things got good? Always found a reason it wouldn't work?

There's a reason — and it's almost always older and more understandable than you think.

My new blog tells the story of Ahmad, a doctor who kept himself emotionally at arm's length his entire life until one past-life regression showed him exactly why.

"Loving someone — really loving them — requires the willingness to be devastated. That's not a flaw in the design. That's the whole point."

Forgiveness Found in a Past Life. How Past Life Regression Unlocks What Talk Therapy Can’t. Forgiveness is the holy grail of healing. Everyone wants it. Nobody can quite get there. You know you’re supposed to forgive your father, your mother, your ex, whoever left the damage. But knowing you should forgive and actually doing it? Completely different things. Here’s what I’ve learned in more than 25 years of practice: you can’t think your way to forgiveness. You can’t talk your way there either. I tried. Ten years of traditional therapy, good therapists, real effort, and I was still hauling the same old wreckage. The newest brain research backs this up: talk therapy can actually reinforce the painful memories you’re trying to release. What finally worked for me, and what I’ve watched work for thousands of clients, is past life regression. Not because it’s woo-woo. Because it changes your story from the inside out...

Abandoned, Ignored, or Rejected by Mom? Want to Heal? Rewire Your Brain with Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Past-Life Regression. Were you abandoned, ignored, or rejected by your mother? If so, that’s one of the most hurtful and devastating things that can happen to a human being. Not because I’m being dramatic, but because the brain science is unambiguous. Whether she walked out, checked out emotionally, or handed you off so she could pursue her own life, maternal abandonment leaves a specific kind of damage in your nervous system. That damage has a name: Complex PTSD. If you’ve spent years wondering why you’re anxious in relationships, why you sabotage good things, why you feel like a fraud no matter how successful you become, this might be the missing piece. The good news: it’s not a life sentence. But you need the right tools. And standard talk therapy... READ MORE>> https://bit.ly/4lQcnx7

When Your Past Life Was More Exciting Than This One. How to Find Joy in the Life You Lead. Sometimes the greatest challenge isn’t surviving a war. It’s finding joy in the aftermath of victory. Hypnotherapy, CBT, and Past Life Regression can reveal a hero’s life and help you appreciate the life you live. Last week, a client I’ll call Sharon described a busy, action-filled life that would make most people envious. She’s a successful surgeon. Tall, blonde, beautiful. A handsome husband in tech, and two pre-teen, healthy daughters she adores. She’s designed her career brilliantly. She’s in surgery by 6:30 AM and home by 3 PM to be with her girls. “So why,” she asked, “why can’t I ever feel joy? Why can’t I have fun?” The surface answer was easy enough to find. Sharon had clawed her way up from crushing poverty. Her father, raised in the luxury of Laguna Beach, had decided it would be “fun” to become Mormon and dragged the family into extreme deprivation. Sharon started working bagging groceries at 15, put herself through college, then one of the best medical schools in the country... READ MORE >>https://bit.ly/3PrsmFI

Why Talented People Quit Right Before They Succeed. You've got the talent. You know you do, right? But every time you get close to something real, the finished screenplay, the gallery show, the album release, the book deal, something stops you. You tell yourself it's timing. Logistics. Not quite ready. Need to revise one more time. But the truth? You're terrified. Not of failure. Of success. I Drove a Cab in 1970s New York. Here's What It Taught Me About Fear. For seven years, I drove a yellow cab through the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. Weekend nights, the dangerous shift, so I could spend my days studying with Stella Adler, writing, and making art. Every time someone hailed my cab, I had three seconds to answer one question: Will this person kill me or not? I looked into thousands of faces. Drunk faces. Desperate faces. Dangerous faces. I learned to read energy instantly... READ MORE>> https://bit.ly/4b1xnxl

Soul Contracts. Why Some Love Stories Have an Ending. What if the most loving thing two people can do for each other... is let go?
I know. That sounds counterintuitive. We live in a culture that measures the success of a relationship by how long it lasts. But in my thirty years as a hypnotherapist specializing in past-life regression and forward-life progression, I've come to understand something profound: not every love story is meant to last forever. Some are meant to teach. Recently, I worked with a couple, I'll call them Samantha and Michael, who came to me not to save their relationship, but to end it well. And what unfolded in our sessions together is one of the most beautiful examples of soul-level healing I've ever witnessed. Love Story That Made Complete Sense, Until It Didn't...

YOUR HABITS ARE NOT YOUR FAULT! BUT IT'S YOUR JOB TO CHANGE THEM. What if the reason you can't stop procrastinating, overeating, or self-sabotaging has nothing to do with willpower, and everything to do with a story your nervous system has been telling since long before you were old enough to argue with it? What if your story started even earlier? When you were an infant, or in another lifetime altogether? Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, mixed with neuroscience, can change your mind and change your life. Your habits are not character flaws. They are neural pathways. Neuroscientists now estimate that roughly 95% of your behavior is driven by your subconscious mind, meaning your conscious intentions, however sincere, are operating with only 5% of the available horsepower. Early experiences of fear, shame, or powerlessness get encoded as survival strategies. Decades later, your nervous system is still running those programs... READ MORE>> https://bit.ly/4rKiPb9

Is Your Shadow Side Sabotaging You? How Cognitive Behavioral Modification & Regression Therapy Can Help You Take Control. Wonder why you procrastinate? Why can’t you get yourself to do the things you want to do? Blame your shadow side! Why? The answer might surprise you. It’s powerful precisely because you deny it. You push it down, ignore it, pretend it’s not there. But your shadow side isn’t going away—because it’s actually your subconscious mind, full of needs and wants that won’t be silenced. The Iceberg Truth. I often explain to clients that about 10% of who you are exists above the waterline of consciousness, while 90% exists below it. But here’s the real kicker: in reality, it’s more like one one-thousandth above the waterline. The rest? Your subconscious is busy running the magnificent machinery of your body—your heartbeat, your breathing, your immune system, all without you having to think about it. This isn’t just a metaphor—it’s neuroscience. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, the neuroanatomist who wrote; “My Stroke of Insight” beautifully illuminated how our conscious mind is just the tip of the iceberg of our brain’s activity. Our species, Homo sapiens, is only 250,000 years old... READ MORE >>> https://bit.ly/4aE1tp5
