Hypnotherapy for Stress Regulation
Stress isn’t just a mindset problem—it’s a nervous system pattern
In Hypnotherapy for Stress Regulation, Norman Plotkin, CHt - CEO and clinical hypnotherapist—explains why stress can’t be resolved through willpower alone and how hypnotherapy works at the level where stress actually lives: in the body, the breath, and unconscious protective patterns .
Drawing from his clinical experience, he shows how hypnotherapy helps retrain the nervous system, soften internal stress triggers, and build real, lasting self-regulation.
This article is written by him and reflects his grounded, practical approach to helping people move from constant bracing to genuine inner ease
Hypnotherapy for Anxiety and Depression
Hypnosis can be seen as a waking state of awareness, in which a person’s attention is detached
from his or her immediate environment and is absorbed by inner experiences such as feelings,
cognition and imagery.
Hypnotic induction involves focusing of attention and imaginative involvement to the point
where what is being imagined feels real. By the use and acceptance of suggestions, the clinician
and patient construct a hypnotic reality.
