Hypnotherapist Ethan Reisboard breaks down what actually happens in a modern hypnotherapy session—no stage tricks, just guided, deeply relaxing work that primes your nervous system to accept helpful suggestions. We cover anxiety, focus and procrastination patterns often labeled as ADHD, chronic pain links to unprocessed emotions, polyvagal-informed breathwork, and why self-hypnosis can be practiced safely. Ethan explains how hypnotherapy complements talk therapy and physical rehab by regulating the nervous system so change sticks. If you want practical, non-pharmacological tools to calm the body and follow through on intentions, this episode gives you clear starting points.
About the Guest:
Ethan Reisboard is a board-certified hypnotherapist based in Costa Rica who helps clients of all ages address anxiety, focus challenges, chronic pain, and compulsive patterns. His approach blends evidence-aligned hypnosis, nervous-system regulation, and simple breathwork techniques.
Key Takeaways:


Hypnosis here is a gentle, guided relaxation—closer to structured meditation than stage performance; you remain aware and in control.


Progress requires permission, not “giving up control”: allow guidance instead of resisting every suggestion.


Anxiety and focus issues often involve nervous-system responses (fight/flight/freeze) to thoughts or situations; hypnotherapy helps change the body’s response so action becomes easier.


Labels aside, patterns like procrastination or social avoidance can be reframed and interrupted by updating subconscious associations.


Unprocessed emotions can show up physically (e.g., GI discomfort, tension); addressing emotional processing may reduce body-level distress.


Hypnotherapy pairs well with talk therapy: bring the “why” and “what to do,” then install it somatically so follow-through improves.


It can also unlock stalled physical rehab by down-regulating the nervous system first, making the same exercises suddenly effective.


Self-hypnosis is safe; it’s easier after a few guided sessions and can feel similar to effective meditation/manifestation practices.


A practical starting tool: polyvagal-informed breathwork used during daily routines (walking, cooking, showering) trains calm for when you truly need it.


Non-pharmacological does not mean anti-science; the aim is nervous-system regulation plus clear, actionable suggestions.
