Many people hold misconceptions about hypnotherapy, often viewing it as a form of mind control that compromises their autonomy. However, hypnotherapy doesn’t take control over you; it empowers you to regain control by tapping into the subconscious mind to promote healing and personal growth.

Welcome to this inspiring episode featuring Craig Meriwether, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Medical Hypnosis Specialist, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Specialist, and Founder of Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy. Craig helps people eliminate negative emotions and limiting beliefs that may keep them from reaching their full potential.

Craig sheds light on common misconceptions about hypnosis and explores the science behind hypnotherapy. He discusses the crucial role of intention in the process and how different settings, such as in-person and Zoom sessions, can impact the effectiveness of hypnotherapy.

He also explores how hypnotherapy can heal toxic masculinity and shares how he integrates these tools into his marriage and fatherhood. Finally, he introduces his Ace Any Test Program, an online course designed to help individuals overcome test anxiety.
