Hypnosis for Addiction Recovery: The Surprising Truth Most People Miss

Hypnosis for Addiction Recovery: The Surprising Truth Most People Miss

Author: Penny Chiasson June 24, 2025 Duration: 55:31

Can hypnosis help with addiction recovery?

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Penny is joined by certified hypnotist and soul alignment guide Hannah Mae, who shares her 20+ year journey through addiction, recovery, and spiritual transformation. But the biggest surprise? Hannah doesn't recommend hypnosis for those in the throes of addiction.

Why? Because true recovery requires presence—and hypnosis works best after the physical and emotional chaos has begun to settle.

This episode explores:

  • Why hypnosis isn't always the best first step for addiction

  • When hypnosis becomes a powerful recovery tool

  • The spiritual root of addiction and codependency

  • How trauma, disconnection, and survival patterns keep people stuck

  • What it takes to come back into balance and wholeness

You'll also hear Hannah's personal stories of recovery, spiritual awakening, and how self-hypnosis changed her experience with childbirth, parenting, and presence.
