HypnoGeeks Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Addiction isn't the problem; it's a solution the subconscious found to deal with something deeper. But what if there was a way to address that deep-seated need, creating permanent freedom instead of temporary fixes?

Welcome back to HypnoGeeks! We're diving into the cutting-edge of healing, where solution-focused techniques meet trauma-informed care to redefine transformation.

In this truly inspiring episode, we sit down with Cormac Colleran (Creator of the powerful ICAAN Method from Ireland) and Dr. Jodie Solberg (International best-selling author and founder of the RESTORE Process for Trauma from the US). Together, they are the co-founders of the SFTI Hypnosis Academy and share over 40 years of combined experience helping thousands heal from trauma, anxiety, addiction, and unwanted patterns.

This conversation is close to the host’s heart, and you’ll discover the World-First protocol they’ve created that is empowering practitioners to create lasting change at the subconscious level.

In this transformative episode, you will learn:

•  The Core Driver: Why Dr. Jodie says, "Trauma is often the hidden driver behind addictive patterns," and how their approach helps clients finally release what's been holding them back.
•  The Solution, Not the Problem: How Cormac’s perspective "Addiction isn’t the problem, it’s the solution," opens the door to authentic, sustainable freedom.
•  The SFTI Difference: A breakdown of how the blend of Solution-Focused and Trauma-Informed care makes change not just possible, but inevitable.
•  Identity Over Habit: Why helping a client shift their core identity is infinitely more powerful than simply addressing a behaviour or habit.
•  Language of Healing: The critical distinction between "temptation" and "craving," and the protocol they use for "washing away temptation."

This is essential listening for hypnotherapists, coaches, or anyone looking to understand the deepest roots of addiction and anxiety. Get ready for a conversation that's not only informative but truly transformational.

Join the movement to empower practitioners with confidence.

Let's welcome Cormac and Jodie to the show!

In this episode of Hypnogeeks, Amanda chats with her friend and colleague Nicola Barragry — clinical hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, and creator of HypnoFlow. Nicola’s inspiring story weaves together family life, personal loss, career shifts, and a lifelong commitment to helping others.

From supporting her community as a teacher, council worker, and crisis advisor, to stepping fully into holistic healing, Nicola has built a unique toolkit that blends hypnotherapy, Reiki, and the Energy Alignment Method. She now runs two powerful initiatives: HypnoFlow, a year-long programme for clearing resistance and aligning subconscious beliefs, and Circles of Support, safe spaces where carers and community members can connect and be heard.

This conversation is full of warmth and wisdom — and especially valuable for hypnotherapists and wellness professionals interested in blending modalities and deepening their work with subconscious communication.

Key Highlights & Insights:

• 0:13:21 – From teaching to crisis work: How Nicola recognised the limits of “broken systems” and developed her own approach to support clients holistically.
• 0:26:55 – Discovering the Energy Alignment Method (EAM): Nicola shares her “aha moment”, realising that unresolved trauma and subconscious resistance often block transformation. She explains how EAM uses the body as a pendulum, working with sways, resistance, and reversals to access subconscious communication directly.
• 0:37:41 – The five steps of EAM: A practical walk-through of how to identify resistance, trace beliefs back to their origin, release them with powerful statements, and replace them with aligned states of flow.
• 0:56:40 – Blending Hypnotherapy & EAM: Nicola discusses how she integrates hypnosis with energy work, helping clients bypass resistance and deepen into subconscious communication. She uses metaphor, sanctuary spaces, and hypnotic techniques alongside energy alignment to create HypnoFlow.
• 1:00:46 – The HypnoFlow Programme: A structured year-long journey blending hypnotherapy, energy alignment, and accountability. Participants work through universal laws, subconscious beliefs, physical health, relationships, lifestyle, wealth, and purpose — aligning every area of life. For hypnotherapists, it’s an inspiring model of combining subconscious tools with holistic frameworks.
• 1:10:56 – Circles of Support: Nicola’s community initiative that offers safe spaces for carers, relatives of those in care homes, foster parents, teaching assistants, and charity workers. Unlike traditional support groups, Circles focus on holding space without agenda — a place for authentic presence, emotional release, and shared humanity. Hypnotherapists may recognise parallels with group hypnotherapy, supervision, and reflective practice.
• 1:18:00 – Supervision & therapist support: Nicola has also trained as a hypnotherapy supervisor, bringing her unique blend of compassion, energy awareness, and subconscious communication to those working in the helping professions.

Why listen?
If you’re a hypnotherapist, you’ll find fresh inspiration in how Nicola blends EAM and hypnosis to work more intuitively with the subconscious. You’ll also hear how she builds meaningful programmes and groups that address not just individual transformation, but the wider need for community connection.

This episode is both a case study in professional reinvention and a reminder of the power of our work: to hold space, to listen beyond words, and to unlock the subconscious mind’s capacity for healing.

Welcome to the HypnoGeeks Podcast episode 14!

In this episode, I am thrilled to introduce Albert Vigil, a passionate advocate for self-improvement and holistic healing. Albert is certified in the Silva Method and Reiki levels 1 and 2, and is currently pursuing advanced education in clinical medical hypnotherapy, mind-body psychology, neurobiology, and neurochemistry. His dedication to understanding profound healing modalities extends to biology, biochemistry, and psychology.

In this episode, we'll dive into the transformative power of the Silva Method, a pioneering self-help programme developed by José Silva in the 1960s. The Silva Method focuses on enhancing mental abilities and personal well-being through deep relaxation, meditation, and visualization techniques. By learning to enter a relaxed state of mind known as the "alpha level," practitioners can tap into heightened creativity and problem-solving skills.

The programme also emphasizes positive thinking, affirmations, and intuition development, empowering individuals to reprogramme their subconscious minds for success. Through goal setting, mental rehearsal, and mind-body healing techniques, the Silva Method provides a comprehensive approach to achieving personal and professional goals, reducing stress, and fostering overall health and happiness.

Albert is not only an aspiring author but also a committed educator, developing community programmes to spread awareness about the benefits of self-help and motivational education. Join us as we explore how The Silva Method, clinical medical hypnotherapy and self-directed methods can empower us to become our best selves, thrive in life, and feel good.

Discover the secrets to living the life of your dreams and the transformative power of doing the self-work necessary to achieve it. Tune in and get inspired on the HypnoGeeks Podcast!

This weeks guest on the #wednesdaywellbeing show is Kundalini yoga teacher and men's work facilitator Jote Prakash Singh.
 
 Jote Prakash has spent much of his life craving elevation and ecstatic states. From being young and finding it through high-octane extreme sports such as parkour and skateboarding to being a teenager and looking for it through drugs and alcohol.
 
 After a spiritual awakening that was un-grounded and happened too quickly (the doctors called it psychosis, we call it 'The Big Trip') he was gifted the chance to do Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training at The Rising Dawn Sanctuary; a Whole-istic Centre Jote Prakash and his Mum have set up in East Yorkshire. 
 And so, through the practice, at age 18, he came to the realisation that all the joyful and hightened states in the Universe can be inspired within ourselves - he still loves parkour of course but the drugs and alcohol have been shown the door.
