Ep 42: Hypnosis for Confidence in making decisions: Stop Procrastinating and Trust Yourself, with Robyn Holm

Clinical Hypnotherapist Robyn Holm leads a short hypnosis session focused on building confidence in decision-making and reducing procrastination rooted in self-doubt and fear of mistakes.  Robyn teaches that procrastination is often uncertainty rather than laziness, and reinforces self-trust, aligned action, and listening to body-based inner knowing. The hypnosis includes releasing resistance, taking small steps forward, and awakening with renewed confidence and calm.   She invites listeners to join a FREE Masterclass on June 8 2026 on confidence inside her Thriving Body community (with replay available in the membership only).    Contact Robyn at okhypnotherapy.com [http://okhypnotherapy.com] to join the free Masterclass.   _____________________________   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com [http://okhypnotherapy.com]   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Hypnosis Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about [https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about]   Robyn’s Thriving Body Subscription (Weight Loss) $29 USD/month, cancel anytime:  robynholm.com [http://robynholm.com]   TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   _______________________ 00:00 Show Intro   00:40 Confidence Theme   01:41 Mistakes Build Confidence   02:51 Community Invite   04:52 Safety Disclaimer   05:22 Hypnosis Session Starts

ep 41: Aphantasia and Hypnosis: Healing Without Visualizing (with Guest Haley England)

Host Robyn Holm welcomes her client Haley to discuss aphantasia—difficulty forming mental images—and how it affects hypnosis, reading, learning, sports, and healing. Both share that they don’t visualize or “hear” inner soundtracks, but access imagination through words, felt sense, movement, and clear knowing. They explain how hypnosis can still work through somatic cues, narration, and alternative entry points, and Robyn outlines direct suggestion versus regression using a “dandelion root” analogy. Robyn describes the three requirements for hypnosis—focus, trust, and emotion—and the value of an outside observer. They connect subconscious work to triggers, boundaries, nervous system safety, and weight protection, share examples that emphasize that healing is available even without mental imagery.   ______________________________________________   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com [http://okhypnotherapy.com]   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Hypnosis Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about [https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about]   Robyn’s Thriving Body Subscription (Weight Loss) $29 USD/month, cancel anytime:  robynholm.com [http://robynholm.com]   TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Email Haley: haleyiengland@gmail.com [haleyiengland@gmail.com]   ______________________________________________   00:00 Welcome to the Podcast   00:40 Introducing Aphantasia   03:54 Imagination Without Images   04:49 Reading and Inner Experience   07:54 Feeling Versus Knowing   08:40 How Regression Works   11:24 Doing Hypnosis Without Visuals   14:25 Focus Trust Emotion   19:19 Touch and Somatic Access   21:17 Athletes and Body Learning   24:43 Learning Dance Through Zumba   28:40 Music as Body Expression   29:20 Learning By Self Talk   30:58 Hypnosis Color Shift   34:55 Pink And Unconditional Love   36:00 How Subconscious Answers   38:03 Passenger Seat Mindset   40:05 Yellow Regression Story   43:53 Making Healing Stick   45:54 Triggers And Reprogramming   49:38 Weight Loss And Safety   54:49 Boundaries For Empaths   57:02 Closing Advice And Outro

Ep 40: Turn Down Ringing in Your Ears: “The Control Room of Your Mind” Hypnosis with Robyn Holm. (please don't listen while driving)

(please don’t listen while driving, save for when you can safely close your eyes)   I lost my voice COMPLETELY this week, so today’s episode is a video I made for TikTok that has been very popular, and I wanted to share it with you. You can use this short hypnosis to turn down ringing in your ears, or to help desensitize you to any sound in your environment that is bothering you.  It’s short so that you can “pop in” to your control room anytime you want to work with your dials and switches.  Remember, your subconscious LOVES repetition, so keep practicing!   ____________________   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com [http://okhypnotherapy.com]   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Series Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about [https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about]   Robyn’s Thriving Body Subscription (Weight Loss) $19/month, cancel anytime:  robynholm.com [http://robynholm.com]   TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   _____________________   00:00 Welcome to Hypnotic Empath   01:16 Hypnosis starts   06:51 Return and Wake Up

Ep 39 Athletes, High Performers and Hypnosis: Future Pacing, Self-Hypnosis, and Celebrating Wins with Certified Hypnotist Christina Honkonen

Christina Honkonen is a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and mental performance coach who helps athletes, young performers, and high achievers develop the mindset needed to perform at their highest level. Certified through the National Guild of Hypnotists, she works with youth and elite athletes through her Mental Performance Training Program, helping them strengthen focus, build confidence, overcome performance blocks, and access the mental “zone” where peak performance happens. With nearly two decades of professional experience and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Christina combines evidence-based hypnosis with mindset training and NLP techniques to help clients create lasting change. In addition to sports performance, she works with professionals and high performers to improve public speaking confidence, break unwanted habits, and reduce stress that interferes with performance. Her work is rooted in both science and personal experience, inspired by her journey as a parent when hypnosis was recommended to support her son following an ADD diagnosis—an experience that revealed the powerful role the subconscious mind plays in shaping performance, behavior, and personal growth. Christina sees clients in offices in Knoxville and Maryville, Tennessee, and works with athletes and high performers nationwide through virtual sessions at Honkonen Hypnosis. Her work focuses on helping clients train the mind the same way elite athletes train the body.   Contact Christina ata: https://www.honkonenhypnosis.com/ [https://www.honkonenhypnosis.com/] IG: honkonenhypnosis   Contact Robyn: 250-212-7955 TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com [http://okhypnotherapy.com]   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Hypnosis Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about [https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about]   Robyn’s ThrivingBody Subscription $19/month, cancel anytime:  robynholm.com     00:00 Podcast Intro 00:40 Meet Christina 02:37 Christina Origin Story 05:44 Athletes And Future Pacing 06:42 Robin IVF Breakthrough 09:19 Mind Body Medicine Bridge 13:08 Self Hypnosis In Real Life 16:51 Self Hypnosis Steps 18:23 Not Visual Still Works 22:57 Fear Of Being Seen 29:17 Hypnosis for Social Fear 29:52 Why Hypnosis Works 31:44 Working With Athletes 34:41 Mental Reps and Technique 35:55 Coaching Mindset Shift 40:03 Treat Life Like Sport 42:59 Finding Your Why 45:14 Brain Safety and Control 47:16 Celebrate Wins Blueprint 52:33 Parenting With Language 55:39 Repair After Yelling 59:57 Wrap Up and Resources

ep 38: Can’t Visualize? Hypnosis Still Works! Try this Aphantasia-Friendly Hypnosis session for replacing feelings of anxiety with calm, with Robyn Holm

Host Robyn Holm addresses a common concern: whether hypnosis works if you can’t visualize. She explains hypnosis isn’t dependent on seeing pictures but on feeling, meaning, repetition, and nervous system safety, emphasizing that “feeling is the secret” and that imagining sensations (or even pretending) can be just as effective. She shares somatic alternatives to visualization  and then leads a guided, non-visual hypnosis for replacing feelings of anxiety with feelings of calm.     10:12 Hypnosis session begins!   Contact Robyn: 250-212-7955 TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com [http://okhypnotherapy.com]   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Series Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about [https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about]   Robyn’s ThrivingBody Subscription $19/month, cancel anytime:  robynholm.com
