Dr. Gupte shares how her mother’s experience with cancer, depression, and a suicide attempt inspired her to explore hypnotherapy and ultimately bring it into her medical practice. She describes what a typical hypnotherapy session involves, including relaxation, guided visualization, identifying emotional roots, and using protocols to help patients “reboot” their mental patterns. The discussion also covers practical aspects of integrating hypnotherapy into women’s health care, such as determining treatment frequency, offering remote sessions, setting patient expectations, and addressing common barriers to success.
