• Overcoming Self-Doubt: Rewriting Your Inner Narrative with Hypnotherapy
    Jul 4 2025

    In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dana Salerno, an accredited clinical hypnotherapist with over 20 years of experience.

    We began by unravelling the concept of the subconscious mind, which Dana describes as the "wise part" of ourselves. It holds memories, emotions, and experiences since childhood, shaping our perceptions and behaviours without our conscious awareness.

    Dana emphasised how we absorb both positive and negative messages during our formative years, often leading to automatic responses and habits that can either serve us well or hinder our growth.

    The conversation shifted towards how hypnotherapy serves as a gateway to accessing the subconscious.

    Dana explained that we naturally enter trance states multiple times a day, such as when driving or engrossed in a book. This trance-like state is crucial for hypnotherapy, as it allows individuals to relax and engage with their subconscious mind more effectively.

    I learned that self-hypnosis is also possible, enabling individuals to train themselves to reach this deeply relaxed state intentionally.

    Dana shared valuable techniques utilised in her practice, such as the "dial-down technique" for pain relief, where clients can visualise reducing or eliminating discomfort.

    We explored how hypnotherapy helps athletes overcome mental barriers, enabling them to harness a confident mindset in high-pressure situations.

    Dana employs various methods, programming her clients' subconscious minds to replace doubts with empowering beliefs, thus facilitating success in sports and business endeavours alike.

    The episode also touched on the importance of establishing a relaxing environment tailored to each client's individual preferences.

    Dana highlights that everyone relaxes differently, and understanding this is key to the effectiveness of hypnotherapy.

    She described her process of building rapport and guiding clients through a "mind spa" experience, where they can let go of stress and immerse themselves in a state of tranquillity.

    We discussed how clients can gauge their transformation during sessions through physical responses, such as heavier arms or relaxed facial muscles, indicating that their subconscious is receptive to suggestions.

    Dana elucidated the significance of maintaining a focused approach, ensuring that session outcomes align with clients' specific goals.

    Throughout the conversation, Dana reassured listeners of the protective nature of the subconscious, emphasising that anything not beneficial to a client remains hidden, ensuring a safe and secure exploration of the mind. By taking a focused, ethical approach to her practice,

    Dana empowers individuals to embark on their journey of change, reprogramming their minds to foster the lives they envision.
