I breathe deep and place myself mentally in the office of Joan Reubens, the Bullying Prevention Specialist at Meadowlawn Middle School in Pinellas County, Florida. It is a quiet office. I can feel her loving, empathic attention. I can feel her careful approach and attention to my safety and peace. I can speak. I can cry. I can heal. I was in middle school when my first truly safe place was established. Twenty-some years later, when I go into self-hypnosis looking for somewher

I was born Hannah Lynn Fizell. That name never fit. It belonged to a child who could survive my family, not to the person I would become. I carried it because I had to. In my house, names — like safety — weren’t negotiable. I used to watch my world through a hole in the wall. It started as the empty space where a screw had once been. To anyone else, it was nothing. To me, it became an observation deck. From there, I learned the sound of my father’s feet hitting the floor. I c

ADHD ♡ Autism = AuDHD I am someone who is hyper-focused on my work to a fault due to my AuDHD. I am a deeply passionate and highly focused person who works around the clock because I don't know what I enjoy outside of hypnosis. I find that I am restless because I can't help the drive in me that feels like I always have to be busy. I overwork. I have found that I exhaust myself mostly doing the work to push my work out, and it widely goes unseen. Unseen doesn't mean I stop. I

Most of what happens in my office is quiet. Someone lies back, closes their eyes, and we spend an hour or two going somewhere through the subconscious mind. There's no drama to it. Dolores Cannon used to say that the overwhelming majority of past lives people recover are unremarkable — she called them "digging potatoes" lives, ordinary work in an ordinary century. Something else that came through her sessions is that the subconscious only hands a person what they can handle t

People come into their first session hoping they were somebody. I understand it. If you're going to go looking through your own soul's history, you'd like to find a priestess, a soldier, a queen, someone whose name ended up in a book. And then they go under, and their subconscious takes them somewhere, and they open their eyes afterward faintly disappointed and say: I think I was just a farmer. So here is the honest answer to what to expect in past life regression, and it's t

There is a passage in the third volume of Dolores Cannon's Convoluted Universe that changed how I understand healing. She works through an idea about cellular consciousness: that the cells in your body do their jobs without any awareness of the organ they belong to, that they gather information and pass it upward to something they cannot perceive, and that this might be exactly what we are doing across our own lifetimes — collecting experience and sending it back to a source

A warm, softly lit recliner in a calm therapy room like my office in Federal Way, Washington, USA. A folded cream knit blanket draped over the arm, a clear glass of water on a small side table, soft natural light coming through a window with sheer curtains. No people, or only a partial view of relaxed hands. Muted, warm color palette: cream, sage, soft amber, warm gray. Cozy and safe, not clinical, not mystical. A practical guide for clients in Federal Way, WA and anyone join

Complex PTSD kept me trapped in fight or flight for years. Past-life regression — specifically QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) — was the only form of hypnotherapy that helped me heal the whole of my trauma, not one memory at a time. This is my story, and why anything left unhealed becomes a blocker. Stuck in Fight or Flight: Surviving 19 Years of Abuse I was stuck in fight or flight. I got out on my own — away from my narcissistic, abusive parents, who run their own

The story of Adam and Eve was never meant to be taken literally. Read as metaphor, it's the story of how humanity fell from a state of love into a state of fear — and, right now, how we're finding our way back. This is that story, and what it means for the shift into 5D consciousness we're living through. A Story That Was Weaponized I grew up hearing the story of Adam and Eve — and hearing women demonized by it. I was taught that this was why females of all ages had to stay q

Why the clients who seem to have it easiest often have the most to learn — and what opens up when we slow down enough to feel, hear, and even taste a scene. There's a quiet assumption I run into again and again in this work: that the people who can see are the lucky ones. If you can close your eyes and watch a scene unfold in vivid color, surely past-life regression will come easily to you. Surely you'll get to skip the struggle and go straight to the good part. I understand

How self-hypnosis led me back to a past life in Vietnam — and to the lesson I've been avoiding in this one. Self-hypnosis is not an easy thing to learn. People tend to imagine it comes naturally — that you close your eyes, sink down, and arrive somewhere deeper without much effort. The truth is more stubborn than that. The biggest obstacle, at least for me, is not falling asleep. That surprises people. But the state you're reaching for sits right up against the edge of sleep,

What past-life regression taught me about suicide, the contracts we make, and why the only way out is through. Recently I came to understand that suicide is not tolerated by the universe — or by what I'll call the other side. I've been exploring the heavens, and the state of Satori, or full enlightenment, trying to understand where we come from and where we return after each human life. This isn't abstract for me. I've lost friends to suicide. There were seasons of my own lif

When you're looking for a hypnotist, you're looking for more than credentials. You want someone who not only knows what they're doing, but who can meet you in the moments you feel stuck — because those moments will come. Here's what almost no one tells you before their first session: the biggest obstacle to hypnosis usually isn't the hypnotist, and it isn't you being "unhypnotizable." It's control. The Grip There are times we feel so anxious walking into this work that we con

At the end of 2024, I got certified in QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique). But my journey into hypnosis began long before that. I spent nearly a decade fighting for my mental and physical health after escaping my narcissistic, abusive biological parents and the far-right Christian cult they were involved in. I endured 19 years of toxicity, witnessed domestic abuse, and experienced abuse myself from the time I was four years old. For a long time, I believed healing was
