Arleen, Welcome to Your Course Materials Hub!

Arleen…

I want to start by saying how proud I am of you for saying yes to this.

I know this wasn’t an easy decision. And I also know you’ve been through a lot in your life… more than most people will ever understand. So the fact that you’re here, choosing yourself, choosing something better—that matters more than you realize.

This program isn’t about taking something away from you.
It’s about giving you your life back.

 

🌿 HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS

Each session is designed to build on the last one.

We’re not just focusing on the drinking…
we’re gently removing the reasons you ever needed it in the first place.

So as you go through this, you may notice:

  • The urge feels weaker
  • You feel calmer
  • You start thinking differently
  • You feel more like yourself again

Sometimes it’s subtle at first… and then one day you realize something has really shifted.

That’s exactly how this is supposed to work.

 

🌿 HOW TO USE THE SESSIONS

I want you to listen to one session per week.

After you listen, give yourself a few days in between—
ideally 2–3 days—to let everything settle and integrate.

During those days:

  • Just go about your life normally
  • Notice any changes, even small ones
  • Don’t overthink it
  • Let your mind do the work in the background

You can absolutely repeat each session 2–3 times during that week if you feel called to it.
The more familiar your mind gets with it, the deeper it goes.

 

🌿 REPEATING THE PROGRAM (THIS IS IMPORTANT)

After you finish all 6 sessions…

I highly recommend going through the program again.

But this time, trust yourself.

Go back to the sessions you felt the most connection with…
the ones that really hit something for you…
the ones where you felt a shift.

Those are the ones your mind is telling you it wants more of.

 

🌿 WHAT IF YOU HAVE URGES?

If you have moments where you feel like drinking…

That’s okay.

It doesn’t mean it’s not working.

It just means your brain is still learning a new way.

When that happens:

  • Pause
  • Take a breath
  • Give yourself a few minutes

You’ll start to notice that the urge passes faster than it used to.

And each time you don’t act on it…
you get stronger.

 

🌿 A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER

  • You don’t have to be perfect
  • You don’t have to force anything
  • You don’t have to “try hard”

Just show up… listen… and allow.

Your subconscious mind already knows how to do this.

 

🌿 LAST THING

Arleen…

This isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about coming back to who you were before everything got so heavy.

The version of you that feels peaceful…
clear…
and free.

And we’re going to get you there—step by step.

I’m right here with you through this.

**Hypnotherapy: Overview and Expectations**

**What is Hypnotherapy:**

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness, often referred to as a trance. In this state, individuals may experience increased suggestibility, which can help facilitate positive changes in behavior, thoughts, and emotions. It is commonly used for issues such as anxiety, stress management, pain control, and habit modification.

**What Hypnotherapy Is Not:**

Hypnotherapy is not mind control or a magic cure. It doesn’t involve relinquishing control to the therapist; rather, individuals remain aware and can choose to accept or reject suggestions. It’s also not a form of entertainment, like stage hypnosis, where individuals perform for an audience.

**What to Expect During a Session:**

During a hypnotherapy session, you can expect a safe and comfortable environment. The therapist will guide you into a relaxed state, often through breathing exercises or visualization techniques. Most individuals find this process very comfortable and may not even realize they are “under” hypnosis, as the state can feel similar to daydreaming or deep relaxation.

As the session progresses, the therapist may use suggestions or imagery tailored to your specific goals. Afterward, you will gradually return to full awareness, often feeling refreshed and relaxed. Sessions typically last about 30-45 mins

Overall, hypnotherapy provides a supportive framework for exploring your thoughts and behaviors, helping you make meaningful changes in your life.

❤️Simple Rules for a Successful Hypnosis Session:

**Things to Do Before the Session:**

  1. **Find a Quiet Space:** Choose a quiet, comfortable space where you will not be disturbed during the session.
  2. **Test Your Technology:** Ensure your internet connection is stable and that your device’s camera and microphone are working properly.
  3. **Use Headphones:** For better sound quality and to minimize distractions, use headphones or earbuds during the session.
  4. **Inform Others:** Let household members know that you’ll be in a session and ask them not to disturb you.
  5. **Prepare Water:** Have a glass of water nearby to stay hydrated during and after the session.
  6. **Be Open-Minded:** Approach the session with an open mind and a willingness to participate fully.

**Things Not to Do Before the Session:**

  1. **Avoid Heavy Meals:** Avoid eating a heavy meal right before the session, as this may make you feel uncomfortable or drowsy.
  2. **Limit Caffeine:** Try to avoid excessive caffeine intake before the session, as it may affect your ability to relax.
  3. **Refrain from Alcohol or Drugs:** Do not consume alcohol or recreational drugs before the session, as they can interfere with the hypnotic experience.
  4. **Minimize Distractions:** Stay away from distractions such as loud noises, bright lights, or cluttered surroundings.
  5. **Don’t Multitask:** Refrain from multitasking during the session; give your full attention to the hypnotic experience.
  6. **Don’t Rush:** Give yourself some time before the session to relax and prepare your mind for the experience.

❤️Journalling Your Sessions:

As your hypnotherapist, I encourage you to engage in journaling after each of our sessions throughout this six-week anxiety program. This practice is vital for several reasons. First, it allows you to capture the insights and emotions you experienced during our time together while they are still fresh. Writing these down helps reinforce the positive changes and suggestions we discussed, making them more effective.

Additionally, journaling provides a valuable opportunity to track your progress over the weeks. By noting any patterns, challenges, or breakthroughs, you can gain a deeper understanding of your journey and how your anxiety is evolving. This reflection fosters self-discovery and mindfulness, aiding in the integration of the techniques we explore into your daily life.

I recommend setting aside a few moments after each session to write freely about your thoughts and feelings. This will not only enhance your experience but also empower you as you work toward your goals. Together, we can make significant strides in managing your anxiety.

 

SESSION 1: Breaking the Pattern

“Taking Back Control”
Arleen, this first session is all about gently breaking that automatic pattern with wine.
We’re not forcing anything here… we’re simply creating space between you and the habit so you can start to feel back in control again. You’ll begin to notice the urge isn’t as strong, not as automatic, and you’ll learn how to pause and choose instead of react.
This is where it starts—you realizing that you are not the habit… and you never were.

SESSION 1: Breaking the Pattern

SESSION 2: Healing the Root

“Letting Go of What You’ve Been Carrying”
This session goes a little deeper—but in a very safe, gentle way.
We’re going to start releasing some of the emotional weight you’ve been carrying for a long time. Not by reliving anything… but by finally giving that part of you what it needed back then.
As that begins to heal, something really powerful happens…

the need to escape or numb starts to fade.

 

SESSION 2: Healing the Root

SESSION 3: Heart Healing

“Releasing Grief, Keeping the Love”
You’ve been through a lot of loss in your life, and this session is here to help your heart soften.
We’re not taking anything away from you… we’re helping you release the heaviness while still holding onto the love and connection.
When that grief feels lighter, you don’t need to quiet it anymore… and that’s when the urge to drink really starts to weaken.

SESSION 3: Heart Healing

SESSION 4: Reclaiming Yourself

“Letting Go of Everyone Else’s Expectations”
This is where things really shift.
For so long, you’ve been taking care of everyone else… putting yourself last… carrying more than you should have had to.
In this session, you begin to let that go.
You start choosing yourself—without guilt.

Setting boundaries—without fear.

And living your life for you.
And when your life starts to feel like your own again… you don’t need to escape it.

SESSION 4: Reclaiming Yourself

SESSION 5: Full Release

“Letting Go of Alcohol for Good”
This is where we fully rewire your relationship with alcohol.
By now, things already feel different—and this session locks it in.
The desire fades… the habit breaks… and choosing not to drink starts to feel natural.
Not forced.

Not restricted.

Just… you.

SESSION 5: Full Release

SESSION 6: Your New Life

“Stepping Into the Woman You Are Now”
This final session is all about your future.
The version of you who feels peaceful… clear… in control… and genuinely happy.
You’ll step into that version of yourself and begin to make it your new normal.
This isn’t about becoming someone new…

it’s about coming back to who you’ve always been—without everything weighing you down.

Arleen…
This isn’t just about stopping drinking…
It’s about getting your life back.
And you deserve that.

SESSION 6: Your New Life

BONUS SESSION 7: Craving Reset + Emotional Calm

“Your Go-To When You Need It Most”

Arleen, this is your quick reset for those moments when things feel a little harder.

If an urge comes up… if you’re feeling overwhelmed… or if you just need to take the edge off without turning to wine—this is the one you come back to.

You don’t have to fight anything or figure it out on your own. Just press play, take a breath, and let this guide you through it.

This session will help you pause, calm your body, and move through the moment so you can come back to feeling in control again.

The more you use it, the easier it gets.

And over time, those urges won’t feel as strong… or last as long… until one day, they barely show up at all.

This is here for you whenever you need it.

BONUS SESSION 7: Craving Reset + Emotional Calm

BONUS SESSION 8: Return to Inner Calm

“A Space to Come Back to Yourself”
Arleen, this session is here for you anytime you need to slow things down and reconnect with yourself.
Life can feel busy, overwhelming, or just a little heavy at times—and this gives you a place to step away from all of that.
To breathe…

to reset…

and to come back to a calm, steady place inside you.
There’s nothing you need to do here…

just listen, relax, and allow your mind and body to settle.
You can use this whenever you feel like you need a moment—during the day, at night, or anytime you want to feel more grounded and at ease.
The more you come back to this space, the easier it becomes to access that calm on your own.
And it’s always there for you.

BONUS SESSION 8: Return to Inner Calm

Arleen…
I just want you to take a moment… and really let this sink in.
Look at what you’ve done.
You showed up for yourself…
you stayed with it…
and you made it through something that wasn’t easy.
And that says so much about you.
I hope you can feel how different things are now…
even in the smallest ways…

because those small shifts are everything.
You chose yourself.

And that changes your life.
I’m truly so proud of you—not just for getting through this program,

but for having the courage to start it in the first place. Just remember… this isn’t the end.
This is you stepping into a new chapter…

one where you feel more like yourself…

more at peace…
more in control.
And you did that.
I’m so honored you trusted me to walk this with you.
Keep going… you’ve got something really beautiful ahead of you.

With all my love and heart,

Krista Cimino 💖✨
