A Letter to My Brothers and Sisters
Hey,
As a Black woman and a hypnotherapist, I’ve seen first-hand how powerful hypnosis can be—especially for people of color.
Many of us carry layers of trauma, both personal and generational. Our lives are inherently complex, living at the intersection of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, culture, and socioeconomic expectations.
Too often, the only advice we’re given is to “stay strong.”
So we do just that.
We push through.
We keep going, no matter the stress, trauma, or exhaustion, rarely noticing the anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, burnout, or the weight of feeling unseen.
Hypnosis bypasses all that noise and goes straight to the root. It speaks to the subconscious, where so many of our limiting beliefs live—beliefs passed down from family, society, media, or painful experiences.
Hypnosis helps us unlearn the messages that told us we weren’t enough as we are, or that we had to work twice as hard just to be worthy, or worse, that we don’t deserve peace at all.
For people of color, this kind of deep inner work isn’t just healing—it’s self-empowered reparations work. It’s a chance to reclaim our joy, our rest, our autonomy, and our power.
Now, let’s clear some things up.
Hypnosis is not…
About exposing your deepest secrets: You were raised not to tell family business—same here. But this isn’t about airing your pain; it’s about releasing it. No shame. No guilt.
Embarrassing: You’re not going to bark like a dog or lose control. That’s stage hypnosis. This is healing work.
Just for white people: Healing is for us, too. We’ve always had deep spiritual and mental practices. Think of hypnosis as another tool for liberation.
“The Devil’s work”: There’s nothing evil or manipulative about hypnosis. It’s just a relaxed state where you’re more open to change, like a guided meditation with intentions you set.
A quick fix: Hypnosis isn’t magic, but it is powerful when you’re ready to shift from surviving to thriving. It can also complement other traditional therapeutic practices.
We’ve always had visionaries in our lineage who dared to shift their perception of reality—and ours.
Harriet Tubman, born enslaved, trusted her inner knowing enough to believe in freedom—first for herself, then for others.
Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam, made a pilgrimage to Mecca, and returned with a broader vision for justice.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., despite being raised in the Jim Crow South, refused to accept segregation as his reality. He imagined a future that didn’t exist yet—and then walked us toward it.
That kind of mental expansion—that refusal to accept the status quo—is part of our inheritance. To be fully liberated, we must be willing to change our perception. Hypnosis is one path that can help us do exactly that.
If you’ve ever been curious about hypnosis—even just a little—I invite you to explore it with an open heart. Especially if you’ve been carrying things alone for too long. Please check out our YouTube channel to experience hypnosis for yourself.
Come see what’s possible when you stop surviving and start thriving.
