Emily’s Workplace Dilemma
Social Conformity: Emily, a marketing manager, was consistently assigned tasks outside her interest area, such as logistics. She accepted these without question to avoid disappointing her boss and to appear as a “team player,” even though she feels drained and unfulfilled.
Authentic Living: Recognizing her passion for creative strategy, Emily scheduled a meeting with her boss to discuss aligning her tasks with her strengths. Though nervous, she shared her vision, which resulted in her being assigned more creative work. Emily felt more engaged, and her team benefited from her renewed energy and natural, creative gifts.

Ravi’s Family Boundaries
Social Conformity: Ravi, a software engineer, frequently visited his family each weekend out of obligation, even when he needed time to recharge. He felt guilty declining, fearing his family’s disapproval, but ended up feeling frustrated and burned out which prevented him from having quality time with family.
Authentic Living: One weekend, Ravi decided to communicate his need for personal space. He explained to his family that he values their time together as a family but sometimes needs time for himself. Not knowing the importance of personal space, initially, his family was surprised & disappointed leading to emotional drama but Ravi persisted. After some episodes of discomfort & arguments, his family came around and understood his need. Ravi now feels mentally free and is able to find a fine balance between family and self-care, improving his overall well-being and quality time with his family.

Sarah’s Social Life
Social Conformity: Sarah, a freelance designer, felt obligated to attend every social gathering her friends plan. Even though she’d rather spend some weekends pursuing hobbies or resting, she feared they’ll think she’s unsocial if she declines.
Authentic Living: One evening, Sarah politely declines an invitation, sharing her need for some downtime. Though initially anxious, she surprisingly finds her friends were more understanding than she thought they were. Over time, Sarah gets over with her people-pleasing attitude and becomes more honest in her friendships and draws people in her life who value her boundaries and interests.

Jake’s Career Shift
Social Conformity: Jake is in finance, a career his family encouraged, but he feels disconnected and uninspired. He holds a PhD, gets a fat paycheck and a lot of respect in his family & friend circle. He remains in his job, unhappily navigating along, fearing judgment and alienation if he switches fields, even though he’s long dreamed of working in environmental science.
Authentic Living: One day, Jake decides to enroll in a part-time environmental science program. He openly discusses his goals with his family & close friends. His father is furious but mother understands his passion. Some of his friends stop hanging out with him. A handful are excited for him. Jake eventually realizes who the real people in his life are, lets go of those who were not meant to be and is currently transitioning towards his dream field, feeling a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Nina’s Personal Style
Social Conformity: Nina loves bold, expressive fashion, but she often dresses conservatively because her workplace favors traditional attire. She hides her true style, fearing she’ll stand out or be judged.
Authentic Living: Over time, Nina incorporates subtle elements of her unique style into her wardrobe, which boosts her confidence. She starts receiving positive comments, inspiring others in her office to express themselves as well.

These stories show how choosing authenticity over social expectations can lead to greater fulfillment, connection, and purpose. Imagine what embracing your true self might unlock in your own life.

The group hypnotherapy sessions were eye-opening. It was amazing to share the experience with others and realize I wasn’t alone.

Liz Greer

My experience with Shweta’s therapy technique is that she guides the process allowing the interaction of my subconscious and conscious state to navigate the desired purpose of each session. Shweta’s outstanding strengths she brings to each therapy session is her ease, comfort, and calmness. She truly provides a safe environment for her client to remain in control as they process their vulnerabilities. As I’ve applied her post-therapy suggested self-hypnosis protocols from each session I’ve experience the desired shifts within a few weeks, which has resulted in expanded insights to my personal journey.

For example, one of my sessions with Shweta explored blocks and fragmented energy negativley impacting my workflow. Today I utilized the “Workflow State” self-hypnosis technique to regain focus for preparing this testimonial and for other projects. It has also been an eye opener, bring to the forefront my own resistance to the things I desire to accomplish verses the unhealthy tactics I use to escape, due to fear of the unknown based on past subconscious programming. Each session has deepened my awareness of my state of mind and whether it is focused on the past, present, or future; and how the mind’s focus is directly connected to my emotions and my present actions. Hypnotherapy has become the regulator of my own internal monkey brain chatter and the choice to exist in a more regulated state of being. It is a positive tool to reset the mind within a few minutes which is incredibly powerful.
