With Tracy Douglas: Your GenX Therapist in Janesville, WI, and Online Across Wisconsin and Texas
Hypnotherapy isn't some fringe practice, but a powerful tool that allows you to access the vast potential of your subconscious mind to create the real, lasting change you crave.
I’m betting you’ve heard the phrase "fake it 'til you make it.”
We all know it by now – and, let’s be honest, it has its uses. It can get us through the early stages of learning until we really know what we’re doing. But sometimes, we might not actually get to the place of deep knowledge and experience and eventually, cracks can start to show. Self doubt and limiting beliefs begin calling the shots.
Here, smack dab in the thick of adulting, stress, anxiety, and ingrained habits can collect like layers of sediment that lie between us and the precious treasure that holds our potential for healing and success.
What if there was a way to harness the power of this treasure to bust loose from limitations in a structured and evidence-based way?
Deep below lies the vast subconscious, where habits, beliefs, and emotions are stored. Hypnotherapy helps you safely access this deeper level and make positive shifts that truly stick. Here are 5 examples of how hypnotherapy can help you.
Reduce Anxiety and Stress
Feeling overwhelmed? Hypnotherapy provides effective techniques to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and find inner peace.
Break Free from Habits
Smoking, nail-biting, procrastination – hypnotherapy can help you break free from these unwanted patterns and behaviors.
Increase Confidence and Self-Esteem
Silence that inner critic and tap into your inner strength. Hypnotherapy can help you develop self-compassion and build lasting confidence.
Improve Sleep Quality
Tossing and turning all night? Hypnotherapy can help you achieve deeper, more restorative sleep.
Enhance Focus and Performance
Feeling scattered? Hypnotherapy can help you improve your focus, concentration, and overall performance.
Transform your inner landscape and create a more peaceful, fulfilling life.
Hypnotherapy isn’t for everyone. But if you’re ready to ditch Band-Aid solutions and invest in real, lasting change, hypnotherapy might be exactly what you need.Let’s move beyond superficial fixes and explore a way of healing that’s as focused and results-oriented as we are.

I came to Tracy to work through my anxiety and depression. She has not only taught me specific strategies to help me stay present and grounded when my anxiety seems to be out of control, but also daily management skills for my depression and anxiety.
She has taught me communication skills that I have been able to use with my loved ones to open up with them about my struggles. In being able to speak more openly with my loved ones, it allowed me to feel comfortable enough to bring my husband to some of my appointments. Those sessions helped us learn how to better understand each other’s needs more clearly.
The discussions we have are not always focused on present events; she has also helped me dig deeper to see where my anxiety and depression come from. Tracy has helped me recognize these sources and taught me that while these things happened to me, they don’t define me. Most importantly, she has taught me about seeing myself in a more positive light.
would happily refer Tracy to family, friends, or anyone looking for therapy services. Her compassion is second to none. You can feel that she truly cares about her patients and doesn’t just go through the motions. She is invested in helping her patients reach their best potential. Tracy has a great ability to connect with people and make them feel at ease when they talk with her. She is an exceptional therapist.
The time I’ve spent with Tracy has been transformative. I’ve had a handful of counselors through the years, and they all helped to some degree, yet I felt no different. I knew more about myself, but I didn’t feel different until I began working with Tracy.
To simply state my own journey, I’ve been looking to open a deeper emotional connection within myself and others. To stop being afraid and to reconcile the trauma and abuse I suffered in childhood. The progress I’ve made from being unable to mention or acknowledge what happened to being able to mention it here is proof of her amazing work. I would not be the person I am today without her, and I wonder if I would even be here to write this if not for her.
She’s exactly what her client needs when they need it. Whether that’s a by the book therapist one day to a friend to cry with the next, she adapts and innovates on the fly, only to the comfort level one can tolerate in the moment. What I do know is that I am always getting her best and the best care possible.
I could fill pages of praise, lines and lines of commendation, but the summary of it all would be that Tracy Douglas is a one in a million therapist. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracy with full confidence that she will help others with the same kindness and care she has provided not only to myself but countless others.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy, while related, serve different purposes. Hypnosis involves a heightened state of concentration and focused attention, often leading to deep relaxation and focused awareness. It is a tool, medically reviewed and recognized by both the American Psychological Association and the American Medical Association, for inducing a deep state of relaxation.
On the other hand, hypnotherapy is a treatment plan designed by a qualified professional, utilizing this deep state to address specific issues such as sleep problems, anxiety, and pain. It goes beyond the conscious mind, which is quieted, allowing for guided suggestions by a certified hypnotist or hypnotherapist in a clinical setting.
This differentiation highlights hypnotherapy’s role as a targeted medical therapy, moving beyond mere relaxation to address deeper forms of mental and physical issues.
The science of hypnotherapy lies in its approach to the subconscious mind, tapping into the benefits of hypnotherapy to enhance the effectiveness of traditional treatments for issues like treating pain and PTSD symptoms.
Licensed medical professionals employ hypnotherapy as a complementary approach, guiding the mind to reframe perceptions and responses to pain and trauma. This scientific foundation supports hypnotherapy’s role in holistic healing, integrating the mind’s potential to contribute to overall wellness and recovery.
Hypnotherapy unfolds in structured stages, each designed to deepen the therapeutic experience.
Many wonder if they are suitable candidates for a hypnosis session, and the truth is, most people can enter a state of hypnosis. It’s not about being weak-minded or easily influenced; instead, it’s about your openness and willingness to engage in the process.
Unlike stage hypnosis, which is for entertainment, hypnotherapy as a medical therapy is a serious, science-backed practice. It requires a level of commitment and readiness from the individual, making it a powerful tool in traditional medical settings for those seeking change.
The duration of a hypnotherapy course varies, tailored to individual needs and goals. Some might find relief and progress within a few sessions, while others may require a longer journey to delve deeper into their subconscious mind.
The flexible nature of hypnotherapy allows it to adapt to your pace, making it a personalized path to healing. Consistency and commitment to the process are key to unlocking the full benefits of this transformative therapy.
While hypnotherapy offers profound benefits, its effectiveness varies from person to person. Factors such as individual receptiveness to hypnosis, the nature of the issues being addressed, and the therapeutic alliance between the therapist and the client play significant roles in the therapy’s success.
Openness to the process and a genuine desire for change can significantly enhance the effectiveness of hypnotherapy, making it a powerful tool for personal transformation.
Preparing for your first hypnotherapy session involves both mental and practical steps. Familiarize yourself with the stages of hypnosis and what to expect, and reflect on your goals for the session.
Training in hypnosis can help demystify the process, making you more comfortable. Additionally, sharing your medical history with your therapist ensures a safe and tailored experience. Approach your session with an open mind and readiness for change, setting the stage for a successful hypnotherapy journey.
The field of hypnotherapy is continually evolving, with new innovations enhancing its effectiveness as a therapeutic tool. Advances in understanding the hypnotic state have led to more refined techniques, such as guided imagery and creating a trance-like state, which deepen the therapeutic process.
These innovations offer more personalized and effective pathways to healing, showcasing hypnotherapy’s dynamic nature and its capacity to adapt to the changing needs of therapy seekers.
During hypnotherapy, you engage actively with your subconscious mind, guided by a trained therapist. You might explore past experiences, confront fears, or work towards behavioral changes, all while in a state of heightened focus and relaxation.
The therapist’s voice serves as a beacon, guiding you through the process with suggestions tailored to your goals. Your role is to remain open and receptive, allowing the therapeutic process to unfold.
Hypnotherapy has shown promise in helping individuals manage anxiety, offering a complementary approach to traditional treatments. By fostering a state of deep relaxation, hypnotherapy can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, providing relief from the symptoms.
Sessions focused on anxiety management might include techniques to quit smoking, as nicotine can exacerbate anxiety, alongside strategies to manage nausea, vomiting, and the prevention of false memories, particularly in cases where hypnosis for memory retrieval is involved.
Hypnotherapy impacts the brain in several ways, creating a calm and relaxed state that aids in managing stress and anxiety. Healthcare providers, including mental health professionals, recognize its potential in addressing a range of issues from panic attacks and eating disorders to providing pain control during medical or dental procedures.
Hypnotherapy techniques encourage a state of relaxation, increasing responsiveness to hypnotic suggestion and promoting mental and physical health. Through practice, individuals can learn to achieve these states independently, enhancing their ability to manage stress, anxiety, and other conditions.
Hypnotherapy can help you with many mental health concerns, including:
