"We can control the things that we believe we can’t control. We just need to dig deep and find where we have that belief from and then transform it." - Karoline Fischer

While many may equate success with outward achievements such as professional accolades and financial prosperity, the reality is that our internal narratives—many rooted in childhood experiences—play a pivotal role in shaping our behaviors and actions. As we navigate the complexities of life, it becomes essential to recognize the profound impact of subconscious beliefs and traumas on our ability to manifest our best selves. With hypnotherapy emerging as a powerful tool to access and transform these deeply embedded patterns, we delve into its potential to unlock personal growth and empowerment.

In this episode of FILWF, host Sherry Shaban with Karoline Fischer discuss hypnotherapy, the subconscious mind, and overcoming trauma. Karoline’s unique intersection as a medical doctor and hypnotherapist provides an enriching perspective on the power of addressing issues rooted in subconscious beliefs and past experiences.

Karoline takes us through a deep exploration of how trauma impacts behavior and may manifest as challenges in diet, discipline, and life choices, despite seemingly unrelated circumstances. Karoline discusses the concept of the "inner child" and the significance of understanding and resolving past traumas to release emotional blocks and move towards the highest version of oneself. The episode also brings to light the current mental health strategies, highlighting the importance of empowering individuals as opposed to fostering dependence on therapy.
