Q: WHAT IS “HEALING DEPRESSION FROM THE ROOT”? It’s an approach that goes beyond symptom management to address the deeper causes of depression, such as unresolved experiences, limiting beliefs, nervous-system dysregulation, and stored emotional pain, so change is lasting, not temporary. Q: HOW DO HYPNOTHERAPY AND THH HELP WITH DEPRESSION? Hypnotherapy and Transformational Healing Hypnotherapy (THH) gently access the subconscious, where core beliefs and emotional imprints live. From this safe, relaxed state, we can reframe old patterns, release emotional charge, and plant supportive suggestions that foster clarity, self-worth, and steady mood. Q: CAN REIKI HELP WITH DEPRESSION AND EMOTIONAL HEAVINESS? Yes. Reiki calms the nervous system, eases stress, and restores energetic balance. Clients report feeling lighter and more peaceful after sessions. Reiki pairs beautifully with hypnotherapy/THH to support both emotional and physical relaxation. Q: WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION? You’ll be guided into a relaxed, meditative state with your eyes closed, similar to calm during meditation. You remain fully aware and in control the entire time. There’s no need to relive painful memories; we focus on insight, release, and gentle re-patterning. Q: HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED? Every journey is unique. Some notice relief after one session; others benefit from several to shift long-held patterns. Q: IS THIS SAFE TO COMBINE WITH THERAPY OR MEDICATION? Absolutely. Methods used at Samsara Healing are complementary and can be used alongside counseling, psychiatry, or other holistic care. Q: DO YOU OFFER ONLINE SESSIONS? Yes. Sessions are available in Austin, Lakeway and surrounding areas as well as online, so you can receive support from the comfort of home. Q: WHO ISN'T THIS FOR? This service isn’t a substitute for medical or mental-health care. If you’re in crisis or having thoughts of self-harm, please contact local emergency services or a crisis line immediately (e.g., in the U.S., call or text 988).
