The body remembers what the mind forgets
The Body Remembers: How hypnotherapy helped me heal chronic high blood pressure (and can help you too)
In today’s fast-paced world, chronic health conditions with no clear cause are becoming more common. You may have heard terms like psychosomatic symptoms, unexplained chronic pain, or functional disorders. But what if your body holds onto emotional memories that your mind has long forgotten?
Healing Hypertension through Hypnotherapy
The body remembers what the mind has learned to forget. As a child, I was happy and cheerful, yet often referred to as having “a weak constitution.”
At 15, I was diagnosed with dangerously high blood pressure. Numerous hospital visits and tests followed, yet no clear cause was found. The doctors labeled it hereditary and prescribed lifelong medication.
But I always knew there had to be more. Years later, my healing journey led me to discover the real root cause: I was born 5.5 weeks early. Fragile and separated from my mother, I had to fight to survive. Those first critical moments created deeply held beliefs:
“I’m not safe.”
“I must be strong.”
“I’m alone.”
Through hypnotherapy, I revisited and released those stored emotions. My body was given permission to feel, process, and rewire those beliefs. As a result, my blood pressure stabilized—and I’ve been medication-free for over six months.
Client’s Story: Relieving Gluten Intolerance Symptoms
Another powerful example comes from a recent client, D. For years, she struggled with severe digestive discomfort and a suspected gluten intolerance. Medical tests provided no conclusive diagnosis.
During just one hypnotherapy session, we worked together to uncover and resolve emotional memories stored in her body—linked to a teenage experience of insecurity and body image anxiety. Her pain and discomfort were actually a protective signal from her body, rooted in a subconscious belief that had formed in her teenage years: that she needed to be slim to be beautiful, leading to a negative self-image.
This outdated belief no longer served her, and once released, the symptoms lifted. Today, D, is able to eat everything and has no pain or discomfort anymore. Her body no longer felt the need to warn or protect her from certain foods. That subconscious belief had been the true root cause.
The Mind-Body Connection
Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for medical advice or treatment. It works beautifully alongside traditional medicine, especially for conditions where emotional and physical experiences overlap.
Many unexplained symptoms can be linked to unresolved emotions:
Allergies
Chronic fatigue
Hormonal imbalances
Muscle tension or pain
Digestive issues
Insomnia
The body remembers. But the body can also let go. If you’ve tried everything and doctors tell you “there’s nothing wrong,” you’re not alone. Hypnotherapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore emotional patterns held deep within your nervous system.
I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with their body and reclaim their well-being. Sometimes, even one session can spark a profound shift.
