In this heartfelt episode of Talk Time, I (Meredith McCarthy) reflect on my 30+ year journey as a clinical hypnotherapist – the highlights, the challenges, and the deep sense of purpose this work brings.

Whether you’re thinking about training to become a hypnotherapist, exploring new career pathways, or just curious about what happens behind the therapy room door… this episode offers an honest insight into what the job really looks like.

🌱 Discover:

  • Why hypnotherapy is such a rewarding profession
  • What a typical day might involve (spoiler: it’s never boring!)
  • How change can happen in just one session
  • The difference between real clinical hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis
  • What it takes to build a full-time, ethical, and soul-nourishing practice

Plus, I share a powerful client story, how I balance work and life, and why I believe this career is more than just a job — it’s a calling.
