Referral Information for Psychologists

For clients who are self-aware and engaged in therapeutic work, yet remain internally unsettled or stuck

Overview

Some clients remain internally unsettled despite active engagement in psychotherapy. Although insight, awareness, and understanding may be present, internal steadiness and forward movement do not fully return.

This page provides referral information for a structured, time-limited hypnotherapy process designed to support nervous system stabilization and internal steadiness in such clients.

This work is a non-pharmacologic, adjunctive option and is not a replacement for psychotherapy, medical, or psychiatric care.

When Referral May Be Appropriate

Referral may be appropriate for clients who are:

• Actively engaged in psychotherapy

• Self-aware and reflective

• Able to articulate patterns and history

• Experiencing persistent internal unsettledness

• Feeling “stuck,” plateaued, or caught in internal loops

• Functioning in daily life but lacking internal steadiness

• Not in acute crisis or requiring higher-level care

Clients are often referred when insight and understanding are present, yet internal steadiness and forward movement have not fully returned.

This process is intended for clients who are functioning but unsettled, rather than acutely ill or in crisis.

What This Process Is

• A six-session, structured hypnotherapy process

• Focused on stabilization of the nervous system

• Designed to restore internal steadiness and clarity

• Time-limited, with a defined beginning and end

• Conducted privately, one-to-one, in person or online

The emphasis is on helping the internal state settle first, allowing insight and therapeutic work to integrate more fully, rather than extending analysis or emotional processing.

What This Process Is Not

This process is not:

• Emergency mental health care

• Open-ended psychotherapy

• Ongoing talk therapy

• A substitute for psychological or psychiatric treatment

Clients requiring acute intervention, safety monitoring, or intensive psychiatric care should be referred elsewhere.

Clinical Rationale (Plain Language)

In some individuals, cognitive and emotional insight develops more quickly than the nervous system’s capacity to settle and regulate. When internal stabilization lags behind understanding, clients may feel stuck despite meaningful therapeutic work.

This structured hypnotherapy process is designed to reduce internal noise, support autonomic regulation, and help the system re-establish steadiness, allowing existing insight to translate into clarity and forward movement.

Duration and Structure

• Duration: Six private sessions

• Structure: Defined, time-limited process

• Rationale: Provides sufficient continuity for stabilization without becoming open-ended

Expected Outcomes

The process aims to support:

• Improved internal steadiness

• Reduced mental and emotional overload

• Improved capacity to settle and self-regulate

• Improved clarity and ability to move forward

• Improved integration of existing therapeutic insight

Outcomes vary by individual.

Optional: Process Orientation for Referring Psychologists

Psychologists who would like to better understand how this structured process works may request a one-time orientation session.

This session is offered solely to demonstrate the structure of the process and assess referral fit. It is not personal therapy, and it is not ongoing.

Participation is optional and intended to support informed referral decisions. This information is provided for referral consideration only and does not constitute a prescription, order, or directive.
