Unlocking the subconscious using hypnotherapy with Katie Potratz, clinical hypnotherapist and author
In this episode, Claire and Howard catch up and discuss how they manage burnout while balancing a busy week of work and school. They cover the basics—getting enough sleep, eating balanced meals, exercising, and practicing meditation. Claire leads a brief gratitude-centered meditation to help them recenter.
Today they interview Katie Potratz, a clinical hypnotherapist and author, who shares her unexpected journey into hypnotherapy, starting from a self-help book to becoming a life coach and exploring the power of the subconscious mind. Katie explains how we naturally enter light-trance states throughout the day, during activities like washing the dishes and listening to a podcast. She shares how hypnotherapy can address issues like anxiety, self-worth, trauma, and physical pain, including a success story of a client whose chronic pain disappeared after working through trauma. Katie emphasizes that hypnotherapy isn’t a quick fix, but with time and effort, it can help clients address their core issues, and even tackle problems such as chronic pain and insomnia.
