Welcome to supernormalized Jenny Archer. Jenny runs business called Integrated Soul and she's a certified hypnotherapist and intuitive integration guide who helps people to uncover their inner wisdom through transpersonal hypnotherapy. Welcome to the show, Jenny.
[00:02:37] Speaker A: Thank you. It's wonderful to be here.
[00:02:40] Speaker B: So, Jenny, I actually find with a lot of things in life that people like, they have a pre person and then they turn into another person over time. And it's usually from something that actually happened to them or how their story was played out this lifetime. I mean, we all seem to decide on what lies we're going to have before we get here. And then we like, you know, it's like we're reading a travel brochure on the other side and like, oh, that's great. Next minute we're born and then we're going through everything.
So what's your story? I mean, how did you become who you are today?
[00:03:19] Speaker A: So it's a little bit of a winding story. I was always kind of an intuitive child, I could see things and hear things and understand things from a young age that in the tradition I was brought up in, was considered to be something evil because I was raised in a deeply evangelical culture. So for me, that was kind of something that I struggled with for a while.
And then, you know, middle school, high school hit and the rebellion phase hit, and I decided, well, if that's what it is, that's what it is, because I can't turn it off.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: So what was happening with that? I mean, because obviously you must have had your intuition speaking to you.
[00:04:02] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: Yeah, right.
[00:04:03] Speaker A: So from my earliest memory, I saw this figure that stood over my bed. And I came to research it in my adulthood and found out that many, many children all over the world see this. It's like this hooded figure in a black robe with red eyes. And it tends to show up to children that go on later to have intuitive abilities.
So I'm not sure what the connection is, but.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: Okay, well, that's interesting you say that because it actually just triggered a memory for me when I was about, I think it was about six or seven years old, and I'd moved to a new school in a new city and made some friends. And one of them said, why don't you stay over? So I stayed over their place. And when we went to bed, I was in a room and, you know, obviously all unfamiliar places and everything, and I was. Felt this presence in the room. And I rolled over, looked up, and there was a huge being standing there, like shadowy being, all black, but there felt like there was a protective sort of element to it and was benevolent. I was like, oh, that's a bit scary, but it seems to be okay. And I went back to sleep and didn't think anything of it. But you just triggered that memory. Then I was like, what?
[00:05:26] Speaker A: And I remember that, yeah, it's actually really, really common.
I kind of told it to go away when I turned nine. And then I never saw it again. I just said, that's enough. I don't want you here anymore.
But I still could. I could know things that were going to happen. I would kind of be just connected in a different way. So then I spent most of my adulthood trying to be normal and trying to push that down. But in 2011, I talk about breaking my own heart. I had a spinal cord injury at the level of my heart chakra that ended up, there was a tumor there. And when they removed it, I was paralyzed for a year. And it really shifted everything for me. I think I put that in my path where if I hadn't gotten it together by then to be authentic, I was going to make myself sit down and think about my life and really know what's important. So that kind of opened me to, okay, we're just going to let all of this come in, and we're going to do what we're meant to do, which is help people and just be who we are.
[00:06:37] Speaker B: That would have been a very heavy challenge to have that happen to you.
[00:06:40] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. And I had two very small children at the time.
[00:06:44] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: It was a. It was a deep. A deep learning.
I came out of that on the other side knowing exactly what was important and exactly who I was and who I wanted to be and what I wanted to do with my life.
[00:06:58] Speaker B: Right. Sounds like that level of surrender actually forced you to change.
[00:07:02] Speaker A: Absolutely. Absolutely.
[00:07:05] Speaker B: And then how did that manifest over that year? I mean, what. What did you have experiences like when you were laying there and, yes, there.
[00:07:14] Speaker A: Was a lot of.
Well, there was a lot of grief and a lot of cutting off of pieces. But then as I began to surrender to the process and go, okay, because I've always looked at things as, why would I have put this in my life? Instead of, why is this happening to me? So when I examined it as why would I have done this or chosen this and started to meditate on that? Because what else was I going to do? I couldn't go anywhere and just sit with that. It really came to me like, you have not been being authentic your whole life, and you need to really align yourself with where you're meant to be, what you're supposed to be doing. You're supposed to be helping people, and you're choosing not to, and you need to fix that.
[00:08:02] Speaker B: Okay. And did you actually get intuitive ideas on how that would actually play out for you?
[00:08:08] Speaker A: No. So my relationship with spirit has always been very cheeky.
So I know how I know what is going to happen. The details are none of my business. I never know how it's going to happen. So I know, I knew I would be in a healing kind of profession. I had no idea how I was going to get there.
[00:08:30] Speaker B: Okay. And then so did. Did you actually have, like, sort of synchronous events and coincidences that sort of played out from there, that actually led you to where you are now?
[00:08:40] Speaker A: Always. Always. When you get in that flow and you really start seeing those synchronicities, that's when you know you're on the right path. And we ended up moving across the country, sold our house, moved to New England, I bought a metaphysical shop, started doing tarot, teaching tarot, helping people heal, doing energy work, all of this.
But the retail side of that became a lot for me personally. And so I ended up selling that shop and going back to school and opening a hypnotherapy practice where I can bring all of those intuitive tools in and use that in my work.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: Okay, so the shop was actually overwhelming you at the time, and then did that actually distract you from your work for a while, and then you realize, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is not.
[00:09:34] Speaker A: It did for a few years. I started getting kind of. So I'm also neurodivergent. So I have autism and ADHD, which means my brain works differently. But it's a beautiful superpower in a lot of ways. It's not a superpower. When dealing with a retail environment and constantly being bombarded with people that I can't filter, who I allow in my space and how I interact with them, how long I interact with them, that became too much for me.
[00:10:04] Speaker B: Yeah, look, I know exactly what you mean. I used to work in retail, and, you know, at the end of a day, my partner would say, oh, let's sit down and talk. Like, I can't. I've just talked to 800 people today. I don't want to talk to anyone.
[00:10:20] Speaker A: There's nothing left in the tank.
[00:10:22] Speaker B: Yeah, so you need to have that recharge time and.
Yeah. So what did you do in your recharge time? Was that like, meditation practice for you?
[00:10:31] Speaker A: It was. It was meditation. And I know, I knew it was time to switch when my meditation practice and my grounding practice changed over into binging Netflix. So now I'm avoiding instead of sinking into. And I was like, okay, this is not who I am. So how do we fix this where I can still help people but help myself as well?
[00:10:54] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that we all do that. It's like a really simple outage.
You know, you could get to the end, the end of your day, and you're like, well, this could be a good time to read a book. Oh, no, I'll just watch this garbage that the mass produced culture wants us to get stuck in.
[00:11:12] Speaker A: Yes, yes, absolutely.
[00:11:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And they've got those tricky formulas where they. You get to the end of every episode, they leave you on a cliffhanger. Oh, I'm gonna watch the next one now.
[00:11:22] Speaker A: Just one more. Just one more.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: I wanna know what happens.
Yeah, yeah. Okay. So you did actually find your way into your practice. Did you study at all.
[00:11:34] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, yes. So there's a book called Journey of Souls that was written by Doctor Michael Newton, and I was really drawn to his work because I go into, even with all of this experience, my whole life in kind of the paranormal, you know, realm, I go into everything. As a skeptic, I want to make sure I'm holding myself authentically and not saying, just because the coat rack fell over. Oh, that was, you know, a spirit doing that. It could be. There's too many coats. Right. So I love going at things from a skeptical point of view to make sure what I do get is authentically true. And that's how doctor Newton got into hypnotherapy, how he got into the past life regression, and how he created the life between lives piece. And when I decided this was where I wanted to go, I wanted to train with someone from the Newton Institute, and I was lucky enough to study under Bryn Blankenship, who was one of Doctor Newton's top students and actually helped him found the Newton Institute. So I was fortunate enough to train under her in both clinical hypnotherapy and the past life, the regression piece.
[00:12:45] Speaker B: Okay, so what sort of clinical hypnotherapy are we talking about here? Is that based around ericksonian hypnosis as well?
[00:12:53] Speaker A: A little bit it is, but it brings in other pieces from so ifs internal family systems, it brings in parts therapy, counterparts therapy. There's a bunch of different parts and pieces that kind of come together for a cohesive modality that allows me to address whatever needs to be addressed, especially if we're dealing. I deal with a lot of trauma patients, a lot of clients that have trauma. And when you have that, you don't want to take them back to the inciting incident. Right. You don't want to play that over and over. So being able to have these other kind of options where we can skip that, but actually deal with the pain and the trauma in a different way makes that more palpable for them.
[00:13:37] Speaker B: Right, right.
Okay. Yeah, I've done a bit of work with hypnotherapy myself as well, and I'm a master practitioner in NLP. And part of that process, from my understanding, when I was doing it, we would take them into a theater sort of space in their imagination and work with people sort of distant from the experience, but still able to observe and absorb and release. So, yeah, it's really a really good technique and it works amazingly.
[00:14:08] Speaker A: It does, yeah, it really.
[00:14:11] Speaker B: So can you explain how transpersonal hypnotherapy works and what clients can expect from a session if they choose a session with you.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: So what it's centered around, the concept of transpersonal hypnotherapy is, I'm not doing anything to you. Right. All hypnosis is self hypnosis. So what I'm doing is I'm guiding you. I'm giving you kind of the pathway and walking with you while you find the answers that you already have. So it's based in the fact that what we need to know, we already know. We just don't know. We know if that makes sense.
[00:14:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it does. Yeah.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: Yeah. It's buried in there. So this is a way of utilizing hypnotherapy to help the people find their own answers. Everything I've done from the shop to here when I'm working with clients is all about education and empowerment. So my goal is to work with a client so that they don't need me anymore because they learn how to get to their own answers.
[00:15:14] Speaker B: Right, right, right. Yeah. I found when working with people in the past that often what happens is when you're having just a conversation, people are actually saying what they need.
[00:15:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:24] Speaker B: They can't even hear it themselves. That's the trick. Right?
[00:15:27] Speaker A: Yes.
It's that ability to take that and show them themselves and let them see that kind of mirrored. Yeah.
[00:15:37] Speaker B: Now, you did mention that you use tarot in the past. Do you still use tarot as a part of your work?
[00:15:41] Speaker A: I do. I do. I still offer tarot readings. I teach tarot. I find it to be a fascinating way for energy to connect and to find. Show the mystery, because we don't know how it works. No one knows how it works.
The cards show what they need to show. The person who's interpreting is given the energy from the person who's sitting for the reading, and somehow it comes up and tells them exactly what they need to hear.
[00:16:13] Speaker B: Yeah. I like to imagine that the universe actually has a divine plan in everything. And so what happens is, when you pick up those cards and you put them out in front of you, that's the story that you need to listen to at that time. And sometimes you don't want to hear that, you know, a lot of times.
But. But often I find it's right on point, and it's like, yes, it's uncanny. But, you know, if. If the universe is, you know, as I imagine it to be a, you know, a conscious being, of course it's going to be able to talk through everything.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: Yes, yes. And that's all it is as a tool. A lot of times when I'm doing readings, I. We throw the first spread and then I don't ever pull the cards again. That was just what we needed to crack open that energy. And now we can just talk intuitively about what's coming up for the client.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I've got some shaman friends, angel and Heather, and they use cards in their practice as well. And, yeah, it's great for really diving into the shadow work and for pulling out stuff that you don't even really want to look at.
[00:17:17] Speaker A: So, yeah, that's the stuff we have to look at.
[00:17:21] Speaker B: That's right. That's right. Because usually that's the. What would you say, like, the band aid over the trauma?
[00:17:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. And it's what covers that. And if we can't rip that off, we're not going to figure out how to heal what's underneath it.
[00:17:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So what common barriers do you find people face when they're trying to access their inner wisdom?
[00:17:43] Speaker A: Self doubt comes up a lot. There's a lot, especially. I work with a ton of women, and a lot of women are socialized to not feel worthy healing, to not feel like they've earned their position enough to be able to heal. Oh, I'm just supposed to push that down and help other people? I'm supposed to push that down. And so we come up against that in all genders. But I find it a lot with the women that I work with also fear. There's a deep seated fear sometimes around hypnosis, and I'll have clients that come in and they have a blocked session where we have to sit and we have to talk about how hypnosis actually works, how it's just taking your brain into theta state, just like when you wake up and when you go to sleep, that in between state, you access it all the time. There's no danger. And to help them understand, they're not going to tell me anything they don't want to tell me. I'm not going to pull out all of their deepest, darkest secrets, that they still have control over their conscious mind enough, whether they want to divulge information or nothing. And I work a lot with people around the fear of releasing that control.
[00:18:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Sometimes you can even work with people and get them to tell themselves rather than tell you. And then they actually get to hear it, and you don't need to hear it, they just need to hear it, and that's what matters. Yeah. They can get the message in any way that they need to. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:19:46] Speaker A: Of course.
So I deal with a lot. I think I said that a lot of trauma patients, and one of my favorite stories was a woman who was afraid of public speaking and was really struggling because this was a large part of her career. And when we got into the deep parts of her clinical hypnosis, it came up that she had been abused as a child and told to keep quiet about it. And so that voice was silenced for her. And in working through that, it had nothing to do with public speaking at all or the fear of standing up before people. It went back to that incident. And so being able to pull that up, to pull up that little child, to pull that piece out of her subconscious as a part and talk to her and find out what she needed to feel safe and heard and what she needed to feel valued, to stand up for herself and speak up for herself. And we worked through all of this in two sessions, and she's doing public speaking and loving it and having a great time. And no more shakes, no more nervousness or sweating. It's just, you know, tiny things like that that can make such a huge impact on the rest of your life. And you don't even know why it's happening to you until you get into that subconscious space and your subconscious goes, here, this is what's really happening. And then that's what we work on, helping them heal.
[00:21:20] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I find, even for myself with this sort of thing, with a blockage, that it's often like a security sort of lock on the actual experience. And then once you take that lock off and it's released and cast away into the void, then everything is much better.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.
[00:21:45] Speaker B: Go ahead.
[00:21:46] Speaker A: Well, I was going to say, and there's, you know, with past life regression, you have people that have healed things in this incarnation and can't figure out why it's still there, and then you do. Because I always suggest a clinical regression before a past life regression. Let's deal with what's happening here and now.
Unless they're just coming for curiosity sake, if they're coming to find out who they were and what they did in a past life, then we just go straight into it. That's wonderful. If they're coming because they have an incredible fear of water and they think it stems from a past life, I want to do a clinical regression first. Let's deal with what's in this incarnation, and then once that is healed and dealt with, then we'll go into the past life and see if it shows up there.
So being able to reach back further in your soul's history and find these things that someone actually fell three different times, fell off a ship and died. Of course there's going to be a fear of water because you drowned multiple times. So it's beautiful how they can work together.
[00:22:50] Speaker B: I'm going to ask you then, is there any difference in the process with clinical regression as opposed to past life regression?
[00:22:57] Speaker A: Oh, yes, very much so. Clinical regression is a lot like a therapy session, but under hypnosis.
[00:23:04] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:23:05] Speaker A: So using the therapeutic modalities that we would be using in traditional talk therapy sometimes. But under hypnosis, we are using some extra parts, the release parts, the therapeutic empowerment parts where we're putting things and settling them into the subconscious to help you move forward. But in a past life regression, we have much deeper dive at the beginning, so there's additional deepeners that help get you deeper into that subconscious so that we can find other layers. And then we go all the way back through this life. And then we go into the womb space, which I find to be incredibly healing for my clients, even if they have a difficult relationship, especially if they have a difficult relationship with their mother. And then we go through that and out into a corridor and allow them to choose which life they need to go into. And then we go through as many as we can get through in our two and a half hours. Sometimes it's one, sometimes it's three. It just depends. So it's a very different process. All the healing, because we go into the spirit world after they pass in the incarnation, they're exploring. And when they die, we go into the spirit world. We talk with their guides. We talk about soul contracts and agreements. So all the healing there is done by the guides, as in a clinical session, all the healing is done by the client, allowing that to come in. So it's a little bit just of a different focus.
[00:24:42] Speaker B: Yeah. I can speak to that healing aspect of going back into the womb. I was regressed into a womb sort of space one time, and I got to a point at 28 days after conception when my mother actually decided that she was going to put me up for adoption.
[00:24:59] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: And that was such a big thing, but I didn't know it until I went there and went, oh, had a big freak out and got through it and realized, oh, no, I know why she did it now.
[00:25:09] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:25:11] Speaker B: And that healed, you know, a lot of sort of neediness that was in my life that didn't need to be there. So. Yeah, no, it's amazing how that stuff works.
So in past life regressions, what sort of things do you think that can work on? I mean, is there any limits to that sort of healing that can happen from there?
[00:25:31] Speaker A: I haven't found any. I have, you know, it's everything from issues with family members. And we go back and do a regression, and it shows different lives that they've been with these family members and why there's issues, different fears and phobias, different patterns that people have brought with them. Maybe they're always putting themselves last and they've done that in multiple incarnations. This is their chance to break it. Like, it just covers the gamut.
[00:26:00] Speaker B: So how do they. How does past life regressions contribute to the understanding of current behaviors or beliefs? I mean, obviously, what's happening is, I think that seeing what you did then back then, helps to sort of give you a greater understanding of who you are now.
[00:26:19] Speaker A: Absolutely. I tell my clients it's a lot like dating the wrong person again and again. And when you finally figure it out and you look back at that pattern and go, oh, my gosh, of course. I just keep picking the same person in different bodies. It's exactly the same thing. When we go back and we look at our previous incarnations and we see we're repeating these harmful patterns again and again. It turns on this light bulb. It switches this on for my clients to. In what I was saying before about how I try to view my life, it switches that light on for them of, oh, I'm choosing this, which means I get to choose what I do next. This isn't things that are just happening to me. I put this in my life so I can break this pattern. Now let me go break this pattern and see what life is like after it.
[00:27:08] Speaker B: Interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In a recent session that I went through, there was a space that I went into that made me realize that I had lived in the 17 hundreds, and I was an orphan child, and I had been through some experiences at an orphanage that left me out on the streets where I was stealing food to survive. And I was shunned by the community and then eventually died at the base of a tree in a forest. But that it all came through and I realized, wait a minute. And then I just played into my astrology for this lifetime and, like, it put a stamp on my soul, and I didn't realize that until I went through that. And it's a. It was sort of like a relief of an underlying anxiety that I couldn't even name.
[00:27:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Yes. And part of my process with my clients is we send kind of this healing energy back through the grid of all of their lives and back through the grid of their ancestors lives and just remove those patterns that they don't need anymore, anything that they don't need, just to heal that all the way back. And it becomes this beautiful kind of fresh start for them. And I love to get the updates of the week, or three weeks later, I'll get an email. You won't believe how wonderful this has gotten. And, you know, it's just lovely to see them step into their power that way.
[00:28:34] Speaker B: Yeah, right. Right.
What advice would you give to someone who's actually hesitant about having a hypnotherapy session?
[00:28:44] Speaker A: Do some research on theta state and to understand how our brains move into and out of different brain wave patterns all day long and that we go, the state that you're going to be in for hypnosis, you go into at least twice a day when you wake up and when you go to sleep, also highway hypnosis, same thing. You're in theta state. You get somewhere and you go, oh, how did I know I drove here. I don't remember doing it. I'm just here now. That's theta state, deep meditation, yoga, nidra. There doesn't need to be any fear because you're in control and consciously aware of what's happening to you the whole time.
So spend some time in deep meditation and just feel what that feels like for you. That's all hypnosis is going to be.
[00:29:42] Speaker B: What would you say hypnosis actually is for people? I mean, what do you think that experience is?
[00:29:50] Speaker A: Personally, I believe it's permission.
I think it puts them in a relaxed state where they have permission to feel what they're feeling anyway and permission to work on those things.
A lot of times, things that they would not say in a conscious state.
When they get in a subconscious state, they're comfortable saying it because they're relaxed and they're calm and their nervous system isn't going 5 million mile an hour trying to go, no, no, no, don't talk about that. Don't talk about that. That part hurts.
When you're in that beautiful, relaxed, subconscious state, I think you have a deeper connection with your higher self. To go, no, I'm safe. This is okay to talk about. This is how we get better.
And so I think hypnosis is permission.
[00:30:47] Speaker B: Nice, nice.
In what ways do you see your work evolving in the future?
[00:30:54] Speaker A: So I remember I said I have a cheeky relationship with spirit. So lately I've been being nudged to bring my energy healing work back into my practice, which is not something I had ever planned to do, and to kind of switch it up a little bit. I've always worked above the body in the auric space, and this is. I'm being kind of led to do it a little bit more hands on, a little bit different kind of healing, and I'm being pulled to develop my mediumship and work on adding that into my practice as well. So as spirit does, it's very clear that I can go kicking and screaming or I can, you know, go gently into the next phase.
Remains to be seen which one of those I choose, but I'll get there one way or the other. That's how that works.
[00:31:55] Speaker B: What shape do you think your mediumship will take in your process?
[00:31:58] Speaker A: Oh, I have no idea.
It's something that I've pushed off for a long time because I don't ever want to not be able to help someone, and spirits only talk when they want to talk, and you can't do anything about that. So I have to work through, I think, my expectations of myself, of being able to sit across from someone who's so excited to hear from their loved one and say, I'm sorry, they're not showing up, I can't do anything to control that. I can't make them be there and connect. So I think there's a piece of that that I'm still kind of working through, but I think it's going to become.
I think all of the modalities that I use are going to be fused a little bit, and it's going to become a bit of a hybrid kind of session, because when I do energy work, I end up getting, you know, spirits come in and talk to me about the person I'm working on. So I think there's going to be kind of some hybridization there.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: Yeah. When my wife works with people, she's a bit of a shaman.
She finds that when she's working with people and doing some healing work on them, and they're on the table, something just pops in her head, and she's just got to say it, and she blurts it out. And usually it's really always on point for what they wanted to hear or what they needed at that time. Or she might be just guided. I'd go to this point on the body and press there, and, you know, things change, you know? And, um, she's. She says, I don't know where this comes from, but it's just coming. So she knows what to do, which is. It's really cool how that works, isn't it?
[00:33:44] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. It's fascinating. And when you. The more you kind of just surrender to that, the louder it gets and the more help you can give people. So you don't always know where it comes from, and that's really none of your business. Your business is to help the person in front of you.
[00:34:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. That's right. How can individuals incorporate self discovery practices into their daily lives outside of your sessions?
[00:34:14] Speaker A: Meditation. I love meditation, but not so as someone with ADHD and a neurosparkly brain, it is very, very difficult to be still and do that kind of meditation. You're thinking of, like, the lotus position and the oming, and I love that stuff. That's great, but a lot of times that won't work. So all meditation really is, is focusing on a single point. So if you can just focus on your breath and bring your attention back to your breath, every time it wanders off like a naughty toddler, just bring that attention back to your breath. You're meditating, and what that does is it connects you with yourself. It connects you with your own being in your body, and it allows your mind to kind of center. And other than that, putting your feet in the grass, touch the dirt, get your feet dug down in the grass, and really feel that connection with the earth and let that ground you. And those two things combined really kind of open the space then for that self discovery to come in, because it's not something you can go out and find. It's something you have to sit still and hear.
[00:35:25] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It speaks to being, like, in a space of mindfulness about your life process and the benefits of that.
[00:35:34] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah. The old adage, when you're doing the dishes, do the dishes. When you're eating, eat, be present in the thing that you're doing.
[00:35:45] Speaker B: You did mention that your early life was pretty much a four spiritual path. Um, did that, like, do you actually still have a faith and has that faith changed over time.
[00:35:58] Speaker A: Oh, yes. The faith is very, very different.
I know what I know, and I'm okay with what I know. And I don't need to search out answers from anyone else. I think religion has its place. I think for the people that are concerned that if we don't have a strict religion, then people will go out murdering others and all of these horrible things. If you need that to keep you from doing those things, please, please, please stay in the pews.
Very important.
But if you are in a space where you can listen to your own intuition and you can listen to yourself and recognize how deeply connected we all are with each other, with nature around us, with spirit, how deeply connected that's. That is what I consider to be the creator force. It's all of us together. We're just fractals of love that are out here bouncing around and trying to learn things.
[00:37:09] Speaker B: Absolutely. Yeah. For sure. For sure.
When you work with people, do you work in person and do you also work on Zoom sessions or anything like that?
[00:37:19] Speaker A: Yes, I do both. I have in person sessions, but my practice is in a tiny little town in New Hampshire in the United States, so it is centrally located. I'm only about an hour from Boston, so it's not that far. But I work with people all over the country via Zoom, and those sessions work just as well as an in person session.
[00:37:44] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. My last session was actually via Zoom.
My friend Craig in Arizona. And that was wild. You know, I was blown away at how deep that was. Yes.
[00:37:55] Speaker A: And I think for some people, they're a lot more comfortable in their own space when they're able to be, you know, in their. What's familiar to them.
[00:38:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's easier when you actually are in your own home space, for sure. In that case. Yeah. Yeah. So what message do you hope to convey through your work at the integrated soul?
[00:38:14] Speaker A: That you have your answers.
You have your answers within you. You know who you are. Sometimes you just need to be helped to remember.
[00:38:28] Speaker B: That's sweet. Sweet and succinct. I like that.
So, Jenny, how can people find you and enjoy your services?
[00:38:38] Speaker A: So you can find me on my website, which is theintegratedsoul.net, and it has all kinds of information.
If you have doubts about hypnosis, there's all kinds of great information there. You can read about it. If you want to book, there's a booking website you can click on directly off of my main webpage. I'm on Facebook at the integrated soul and also on Instagram. I'm not a huge social media person.
That's just not kind of where my energy flourishes. But you can find me most often at the website.
[00:39:14] Speaker B: Excellent. Excellent. All right, so thank you very much for your time, Jenny. I really appreciate what you've shared here about your process and your understanding of hypnotherapy and past life regression and also your own personal story and how you got here.
