#146. How Hypnotherapy Heals: Inner Child Work and Emotional Healing with Dr. Karoline Fischer

In this insightful and deeply compassionate episode of Pockets of Knowledge, host Desiree Stanley welcomes Dr. Karoline Fischer—a Certified RTT Hypnotherapist and Medical Doctor—for a conversation that explores the profound impact of emotional healing and inner child work. Karoline shares her personal journey from Austria to New York City, including how a life-changing win on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire helped her pursue her passions in both acting and healing. Today, she blends her medical background with Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) to help clients around the world uncover the subconscious patterns keeping them stuck.

Desiree and Karoline dive into what RTT hypnotherapy really is (spoiler: it’s nothing like what you’ve seen in movies!) and how it works to gently surface and transform limiting beliefs, past trauma, and unresolved emotions. They explore how childhood experiences shape adult behaviors, and why giving your “inner child” space to express unspoken thoughts can be a powerful catalyst for healing. Karoline offers practical grounding tools and emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with the body as a gateway to clarity, emotional release, and authentic growth.

This episode is full of heart and practical wisdom. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, or simply seeking deeper self-awareness, Karoline’s approach offers a compassionate path toward lasting change. Tune in for a beautiful reminder that healing is always possible—and that you're more powerful than you think.
