Tired of Feeling Like You’re Always on Edge—or Never Enough?

Maybe you’ve done a lot of work on yourself already. You’ve read the books, been to therapy, tried the meditations, and still—something feels stuck.

You might find yourself spinning in familiar cycles:

And underneath it all, a quiet voice insists:
“You’re not safe.”
“You’re too much.”
“You’ll be left if they see the real you.”

It’s not that you’re broken. It’s that your body and mind have been shaped by experiences where safety, love, or worth were not guaranteed. Clinical Hypnosis offers a gentle, focused way to reach the deeper parts of your experience—especially the ones that talking alone can’t quite touch.

This isn’t about mind control or losing awareness. It’s about helping the parts of you that are still stuck in survival mode finally feel safe and in control enough to soften.

Imagine Feeling Grounded and Fully Yourself—Even When Life Gets Hard

Picture this:

You wake up in the morning and your first thought isn’t dread. You don’t feel the urge to scan for danger or review every mistake from the day before. Your breath comes a little easier. Your chest feels a little lighter.

When challenges arise, you don’t spiral or freeze. You feel the emotion, stay present with it, and respond from a place of calm—not panic.

You begin to trust yourself—not because everything is perfect, but because you feel steady inside, even when life is unpredictable.

And in your relationships?
You feel safe enough to speak your needs.
You stop waiting to be rejected or abandoned.
You feel lovable—without needing to prove or perform for it.

Healing with Clinical Hypnosis doesn’t erase the past. But it changes how the past lives in you. You no longer have to react from old fear. You get to respond from who you are now: grounded, capable, and whole.

What Is Clinical Hypnosis?

Clinical Hypnosis is a therapeutic approach that uses a calm, focused state of awareness to access parts of your mind and body that may be carrying trauma, fear, or self-doubt. It’s not about putting you to sleep—it’s about helping you gently shift from everyday thinking into a state where healing becomes easier, safer, and deeper.

In this state:

This is especially helpful when:

Hypnosis offers a way in—not to force change, but to create space where change can finally feel possible.

Hi, I’m Micah Fleitman, LPC.

For years, I tried to fix the painful feelings I carried by working harder, being better, doing more. But no matter what I achieved, I still felt disconnected, unworthy, and afraid.

It wasn’t until I learned to slow down and listen to the parts of me that felt afraid, ashamed, or shut down that healing began. This allowed me to reach the deeper places where my pain lived, without having to force anything.

Now, I help others reclaim their sense of safety, worth, and connection.

You’re not broken. You’re carrying pain that never got the care it deserved. With compassion, curiosity, and the right tools, healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

I’ve devoted my career to helping people heal trauma and dissociation.

What Clinical Hypnosis Sessions Look Like

Hypnosis isn’t a performance or a magic trick. It’s a gentle, collaborative process built on trust and safety. You are always in control. You don’t do or say anything you don’t want to. My job is to guide you toward a space where healing feels accessible.

Here’s how the process works:

Before we go anywhere near past pain, we start by helping your nervous system feel safe. You’ll learn simple grounding tools to:

  • Regulate emotions when they feel too big
  • Calm the body when it’s in fight-or-flight mode
  • Stay connected to the present moment

We’ll also spend time getting clear on what you want from this work—and building a sense of trust between us. You set the pace. Nothing is ever forced.

Once safety is established, we use guided imagery, breath, or light suggestions to help you enter a calm, inward-focused state—similar to what you might feel during meditation, prayer, or a flow state.

In this space, you’ll explore:

  • What your body is holding onto and why
  • Where old beliefs or emotional blocks may live
  • What certain parts of you need in order to feel safe, seen, and supported

We don’t re-live traumatic events. We stay grounded in the present while allowing your deeper self to guide the healing process.

As old pain begins to loosen its grip, we gently introduce new, empowering beliefs that are aligned with your truth.

From:
🚫 “I’m not enough”
To:
✅ “I am worthy as I am”
From:
🚫 “It’s not safe to feel”
To:
✅ “I can feel and stay grounded”
From:
🚫 “People always leave”
To:
✅ “I can build safe, mutual relationships”

These beliefs aren’t just ideas—they begin to settle into your nervous system, your emotions, and your sense of self.

Each session builds on the last, helping you feel more steady, empowered, and whole.

How Clinical Hypnosis Heals Emotions, Self-Esteem, and Relationships

Soothe Emotional Overwhelm

If you often feel flooded with emotion — or totally shut down —Clinical Hypnosis can help you:

You don’t have to fear your feelings anymore. They can become signals—not threats.

Quiet the Inner Critic and Rebuild Confidence

That voice in your head that says you’re not enough? It probably started as a way to keep you safe—by trying to help you “do better” or “be less of a burden.”

Hypnosis helps you:

You begin to speak to yourself the way you’ve always deserved to be spoken to—with care, trust, and belief.

Feel Safe in Relationships Without Losing Yourself

When you’ve been hurt before, closeness can feel dangerous. You might:

Clinical Hypnosis helps you access and heal the parts of you that still expect danger. As those parts begin to feel safe, connection no longer feels like a threat—it becomes a source of warmth, support, and joy.

Integrating Hypnosis with Other Trauma Therapies

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. Trauma touches every part of you: your body, your mind, your emotions, and your relationships. That’s why I integrate Clinical Hypnosis with other powerful, evidence-based therapies to care for the full spectrum of your experience:

Sometimes the pain of the past doesn’t just fade with time—it stays lodged in your nervous system, showing up as overreactions, emotional floods, or shutdown. EMDR helps your brain reprocess those stuck memories so they no longer feel like a current threat.
You might logically know you’re safe now—but your body may not believe it yet. Somatic Therapy works with your body’s sensations, tension, and movement to help it release stored fear and trauma.
We all have different “parts” inside—maybe a critical part, a scared part, a part that wants connection, and one that’s afraid of it. IFS helps you recognize and care for each of these parts with curiosity and kindness.
Much of our pain comes from early relationships that taught us we had to hide, shrink, or earn love. Psychodynamic therapy helps us understand how those old patterns are still shaping your present—especially in relationships.
Trauma often leaves behind beliefs like “I’m not enough,” “It was my fault,” or “I can’t trust anyone.” TF-CBT helps you identify and shift these painful thoughts so you can see yourself more clearly—and more compassionately.

Healing isn’t linear, and it’s never one-size-fits-all.

That’s why I tailor therapy to fit you.
Your needs.
Your pace.
Your story.

When these therapies work in harmony, healing becomes more than coping—it becomes transformation.

You begin to feel steady, present, and empowered. You stop just surviving—and start living from a place of calm, connection, and self-trust.

Healing is possible. It can be gentle. And it can start now.
