How to Beat Stress: Confessions of an Online Hypnotist
By Andrew Z Soler CH
Let’s be real—stress is like that clingy ex who just won’t leave you alone. You wake up? It’s there. You check your phone? More stress. You try to sleep? Nope, stress has other plans. But what if I told you that your mind has a secret "off switch" for all that anxiety? That’s where I come in.
I’m a hypnotist. No, I won’t make you cluck like a chicken (unless that’s your thing). I help people escape the mental chaos that keeps them up at night—without needing a yoga mat or a retreat in Bali. And trust me, I’ve seen it all.
The Banker Who Couldn’t Breathe
A client once came to me—a high-flying banker who was drowning in deadlines. He’d wake up gasping for air, convinced he was having a heart attack. Doctors said it was just stress, but that didn’t make it any easier. In one session, I guided him into a deep, trance-like state, rewiring his mind to let go of the pressure. Weeks later, he messaged me: "I sleep like a baby now, and my boss thinks I’m a Zen master."
The Bridezilla Who Found Her Chill
Then there was the bride-to-be who was losing it over wedding details. Her flowers? Not pink enough. The cake? Too round. After one hypnosis session, she stopped obsessing over tiny details and started enjoying the process. Moral of the story? Sometimes, your brain just needs a hard reset.
Your Stress-Busting Hack
So, how can you beat stress without booking a session (though, let’s be honest, you should)? Try this:
- Breathe Like You Mean It – Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Do it 5 times. Feel the difference.
- Talk to Your Subconscious – Before bed, whisper to yourself: "Tomorrow, I wake up calm and in control." Your brain listens.
- Close Your Eyes, Picture a Beach – Add sounds, smells, warmth. Your mind will believe you’re there.
If you’ve tried everything—wine, meditation apps, screaming into a pillow—but stress still owns you, maybe it’s time to tap into your subconscious. Because sometimes, the fastest way to relax is to stop thinking so hard.
Need a mental reset? I’m just a session away.
