Doctor Caroline Fisher is a RTT hypnotherapist and an emotional healer

>> Tiffanie: Hello and welcome. This is true crime connections, and I am Tiffanie your host. Whether you are new here or you're returning, welcome to our community. And, this week we have doctor Caroline Fisher, who is a RTT hypnotherapist and an emotional healer. So, hello and welcome.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Hi. Thank you for having me.

>> Tiffanie: Of course. So what got you into this line of work?

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: I was, You know, I was in therapy myself. I felt like, I, guess as long as I can remember, there was always, I want to say tensions, blocks. Like, growing up, even already there was, I felt like something is not right.

>> Tiffanie: So you got into it to help with, like, to clear your own mental blocks.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Yeah, to clear my own mental blocks. And I just. I guess because it. Because through me then, I was so interested, and then I was really interested in helping other people once I found out what helped me. And it was just always a topic in life, really. So I always thought a lot about it, and so it became a central topic in my life. And at one point, I was like, you know what? Since it's very central, I might as well. I mean, I didn't even. I never said it that way, but looking back, it's actually like that. Yeah. I. Why don't I make that officially my central point of my central.

>> Tiffanie: Right, right. I think it's great. I think we all have limiting beliefs, and if we can replace them with better thoughts, I mean, think how much better our lives can be. It's just as simple as that.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: I agree. Yeah.

>> Tiffanie: So hypnotherapy is pretty much. It is bypassing the critical faculty and creating new patterns. I actually just scott my hypnotherapy. Wow.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Congratulations.

>> Tiffanie: Thank you. I'm very excited, but it's such great work.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: It's really amazing. Yeah. Like you said, you are, bypassing and you are reframing, I think what is so important that you can go back to that person, that child, that younger self that you were when things happened that make you believe a certain thing about yourself today that blocks you. Right. And really tell that younger self healthier things. Right. And that affects you because that younger self is still in you. Right. So that is the most amazing thing to me also, what you planned afterwards. Right. Obviously, the affirmations. But I think it's really so much about transforming that, putting that in a different perspective. Reframing, transforming.


Resrame says childhood trauma shapes who we are as adults

>> Tiffanie: Do you get a lot of people with childhood trauma?

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: A lot, yeah. That's actually my niche, you know, where I really see, like, the most impact. I see the most positive feedback with people that, you know, come to me, and they don't come. Always saying, oh, you know, I want to just work on my childhood trauma. Often it's issues that they're having now in their lives, and they know already. Yeah, okay. I think, you know, childhood and I have already things that I know that I'm aware of, and others might not even be aware, but then the things that come up in hypnosis from the subconscious show it clearly. Then these are really the things that I can say I'm best at. Ah, yeah.

>> Tiffanie: That's actually what I want to specialize in as well, is generational trauma and childhood trauma, because it really does shape us, who we are as adults. It's why we do the things we do. It's why we say the things we say. It's why you work at the job you work at. You know, it's your own limiting beliefs that keep you where you are, but you could become so much more.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Totally, totally. And I always say, right, and then it would just benefit the entire world. Right. It would benefit your neighbor and your friend and your. Your parents and whoever, right? Even if not everybody might see it like that, right. Some, you know, might push against a, change, right? But it's just better, right? Because people can be inspired through that. And I'm saying that just because I think one of my limited beliefs was always like, well, you can have that, or that's too much, or that's too bad, or, look, she doesn't have that either. Right? So this thinking, no, but then they might be jealous, or I am jealous and also seeing jealousy as something negative, right. Because it could be totally inspiring. And so that's why I always say that it's really better for everyone, because the more people I have around that are living their full potential, the more I'm inspired to do so myself. The more, the less beliefs, the less limitations I have. So the m less limitations you have, the better you can be, the more inspiring you can be. Right. And the better the world will be, in my opinion.

>> Tiffanie: Absolutely. I mean, it does matter who you hang out with, because if you're hanging out with people who are very negative or they don't even want better for themselves, you're just going to find yourself right next to them, because it's easier that way. It's so easy to not do anything, to give up and to be all poor me like little Eeyore. But you know what? No. You need to be Tigger and bounce.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Around yeah, I'm the. Yeah, I think the same way. Yeah. Like you said, yeah. If you. People. But also. Yeah, people that might even put you down. Right. but, yeah, people that, I think some people might not, like, change in themselves, in others. Right. Even if it's for the better. But that's why I always say, yeah, it is for the better. even if not everybody can see it immediately.

>> Tiffanie: Right. You gotta give it time. You have to learn the new you, because you're learning a new person. You knew who you were before, but clearly you wanted to change something. Give yourself time to accept the new you. And you're gonna love it.

>> Speaker C: I agree.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Yeah. So beautiful.

>> Tiffanie: Even people who, like, come in for, you know, a weight loss or stuff like that, it can be traced back to your childhood. Like, my mom wouldn't let me eat this. Or, you know, I heard a lot of negativity growing up. Everything was, I can't do this. You shouldn't do that. You're this, you're that. And I had to overcome all that because I am none of those things. And it takes a long time to rewire that brain.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: It does, right. I mean, yeah. It really. Because it's so deeply implanted. Right. And I can go fast, actually. Or, let me say it like this. I mean, you know, it. Right. It's simple. You can really reframe it in that moment, right? But since it's been like that for so many years, can be sometimes also very like that old belief can be very resistant. right. Resilient sometimes. That's why we, do recordings afterwards, right, where you send the recording and you listen to it for 21 consecutive days. Because in the recording, it's basically, the last part of the session where you have all those things in affirmations on the tape that leads you into the hypnotic state again, and you are listening to it on a consistent basis once a day to, just, seal that, like you said before. So I think that whole process, how it's also built, is really amazing. But like you said, right, when food. Like, I just recently actually had a client, right, with food, and they didn't know what it really was. They didn't stop eating when they were full. And I actually just, put that story in my newsletter for June. But they were also seeing, I'm not an emotional eater, necessarily. Right. They realized I'm not eating when I'm emotional. I'm not eating because I'm lonely.


Food makes you feel connected, right. Right. So that's an important function of food

I don't actually feel lonely. So that's not my issue. So what is it? Right. I. So there was no awareness. And then in the session, it actually came to light that that person as a child was just always, given so much praise when they finished their plate, that's when their caregivers would talk so well about them and would really give them a lot of attention. Right. And they thrived off it.

>> Speaker C: Right?

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: But they associated. I'm finishing it, right. My brothers might not have finished it. They don't get that I finished it. I need to finish.

>> Speaker C: Right?

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: So I need to eat. Beyond me being full.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: They might have felt, oh, I'm full now, but I need to finish. Right. The outside, decides when I'm done, basically. And they do the same today. Right. Or did. And then we transformed that, right. Where we say, okay, and food is tricky, right. Because food is, It is connection and it is belonging. I mean, how many cultural.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: We have different foods culture wise. So, of course, when you eat your food or the food that you grew up with, right. And that reminds you, I mean, that's immediately making you feel belonging.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And probably connected. Right. So that's an important function of food. But to differentiate that, that doesn't mean you need to. You, you need to not stop and you're full. Right. You can still stop and you're full.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And it doesn't mean you are good when you finish it, but it's very as you can. Right. I mean, it's. So many things run into food.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And some healthy. Right. Like belonging and connection through food is healthy. Right. There's nothing negative about this saying, okay. Still, I have the autonomy to say, no, I'm full now.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: I.

>> Tiffanie: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: I. With you and I enjoy until I'm full, but then I'm. Yeah, I'm good.

>> Tiffanie: It's just so crazy how just little things like that plant seeds and then you carry it forever without even realizing where it came from.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Totally, yeah.


How many sessions do you usually have to do with your clients to see resolution

>> Tiffanie: How many sessions do you usually have to do with your clients to see resolution? I mean, obviously each people are different, but it's usually only, a matter of a few. Correct? Like, that's what it sounds like. It's not like sit down, talk therapy. This is like, let's get going.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: I mean, it's really a transformation in every session.

>> Speaker C: Really.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Like, this is guaranteed because we transform. Like we work like that. Like, I mean, this. The skill set is, you know, basically targeted at that. I'm just, I was just looking for that word. So there's a transformation in every session. And then I usually say, one to three sessions for any deep issue. Right. Because you could come in with an issue of overeating, for example, and then we find out there's something else behind it. Right. Like you said, every person is different, and then that seems to be more important. So then will you work on that first? Right. There's only so much capacity that we can do. Right. We can hold space for in one session. We can transform in one session. I mean, it is a lot.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: It's a three hour session, but, then sometimes you need a second or a third session for one issue. my clients usually really want to work on other things after they, tackled one. And they really see, like, you can see a transformation after every session. Really. So I also like that a lot about it because you really. You get results immediately. Really.

>> Tiffanie: That's what made me excited. Like, I want to see somebody transform right in front of my eyes. That is amazing.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: It's so, like, to me, that is like, yeah, it's so spiritual. Like, it's really, like, you see, after a while, I mean, you feel the energy changing. You feel the room changing, really. Although I work with zoom only at the moment, or, I mean, I actually don't even plan to go back in an office because it works so well. But you really see the energy changing, like, in the room. You can just, yeah. You can just really feel what emotion comes next. Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Because you feel it before them sometimes. Because often. Right. Me too. In certain issues. But when I'm the therapist. Right. I'm nothing. I see it. Right. But you can anticipate emotions because it's so obvious. Right. They are showing before they actually show.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And often we are told not to cry or not to do this. Right. So somebody that is really a client might not be so open.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And might need a little longer.

>> Tiffanie: Yes.


Do you have clients that really. skeptical about anything you do

Do you have clients that really. They say they're in it and they're gonna give 110%, but you could tell they're not in it.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Such a good question. I've never heard anyone ask that, usually. No, I can't say that. you know where it comes from. Let me see. Yeah. I had a client once. I think what it was with her. She, from the beginning, didn't think it could help her, and she didn't go fully, and it ended up helping her. But I think if she would have gone in more. Right. It could have helped her more. I have sometimes skeptical clients, but they still commit.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Because you know that even if you're skeptical. Right. If you don't give it a full shot, you can't say afterwards it didn't work.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: So, I definitely have clients that are actually more blown away by it at the end because they say, wow, I was skeptical, but this is just, wow, you know, it really works.


People often say hypnotherapy is their last resort when trying to quit smoking

So to your question, usually when people come to me, right, I really often hear, oh, you're my last resort. Because I tried everything else, right. Because people, I think nowadays they're not at the point where they are, like, having an issue. And the first thing that comes to mind is, let's do hypnotherapy. I think that's more. Not so many people, right. Like, first you would say, okay, let's do talk therapy. Let's do regular therapy, right. That's probably coming to mind first, if you don't have anyone in your circle that knows about the power of hypnotherapy, right. So often people, I'm the last resort, right. Or hypnotherapy is the last resort. So they really made their mind up. They want to do this, right. And then there is a time commitment and a financial commitment, that I don't actually deal with, really, because of those commitments that people need to make, right. So I guess nobody is not nobody, but it's very unlikely you would make all those commitments if you didn't really want to go in and do it.

>> Tiffanie: Right. I mean, it's about squashing those limiting beliefs. Like, you can do this. You just. You have to want it, though. You can't just be like, okay, well, my partner wants me to do this. Not gonna work.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Yeah. Yeah, no, that's not. Yeah, I have a lot of, parents come, you know, and they want to send their child. And I would say, yeah, the child needs to come.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: The child needs to want it.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And if they don't want it, then I can't work with them. I don't want to. I mean, that's against my oath. But it's also, there's no way you can, right. You can maybe force someone to go to regular talk therapy, and then they might just say less. So I might be passive aggressive and express that to the therapist. But this, you need to be open. You need to really want it. This is really work. Yeah, I definitely. I recently had a client, right, that came, and wanted to quit smoking. And she said she wanted a guarantee, right. And I said, I have helped people stop smoking, really, from one day to the other. And, I mean, I, with the skill of hypnotherapy, it's really the skill that I trained, at, ah, trained to gain, but I can't guarantee. Right. We don't know what comes up in the session. You are human being, right. I don't know. Maybe a resistance in you comes up that we need to work on.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Maybe you come to the session to prove to me that you can't, right. That you are such a special person that not even hypnotherapy can, you know, make you quit smoking. So I can't guarantee it. So. And I haven't really had experience with that before because she really. I had the feeling that she thought, you know, I would just press a button on her that she doesn't know of, and then she would think about smoking and it would just be gone. And that's really not the case. Like I always say, I'm a guide, but you do the work. I guide you to do the work, but you do the work.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: It's your body, your subconscious. So if you are not fully present, if you're not fully willing to. To do this work, then there's no way it can work.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: So I would tell someone, and I told this lady, right, that I don't wanna, you know, I don't think that's beneficial for her or me.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And I don't want her to be disappointed. Right. Because this is really a cooperation.

>> Tiffanie: Right. You're gonna tell people didn't work, but you didn't try.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Exactly. Yeah. It's really wanting to really change that in you, and that's an effort on your side, and that's an openness to getting. Becoming, a different person.

>> Tiffanie: Your sessions are 3 hours long. That's long.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: It's long if you talk about it like that, but it usually is really, like what? That was 3 hours already for me and for my clients. Really. I mean, most of the time, it's really. They're saying, like, when I say, okay, you know, it's going into the n spurt and now we're gonna, move into the next part, because it's really. You are present. Right. And we all know that when we are present, it's so fast. It goes so fast. Right. Time is so subjective.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: You re experience, you like, it's just so, so interesting, right. So alive. Yeah. I think it's that aliveness, that presence. Right. That makes it really feel like it goes so fast.

>> Tiffanie: Right.


You had mentioned that your clients listen to a tape after a hypnotherapy session

You had mentioned that your clients listen to a tape. Is that something that you provide to them?

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Yeah. So after the session, that's part of the session. Not part of the session, of course, because I just said afterwards. Right. But a part of the therapy. And, so that everybody that I have a session with, after the session, they get a tape that's 15 to 20 minutes long, and that's a, very individualized tape from their session. The last part of their session recorded. The last about 15 minutes of the session recorded. Where we pack everything in there where I am talking.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And I pack everything in there that they want to live tomorrow.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: As that new person. So in the session, we transform everything and we take the old beliefs out, basically, or we transform them. We see that they don't work, they are not logical, and we can let them go, give them back, depending on what has to be done with them.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: And then in the last part, we're gonna, talk to the subconscious mind to plant what we want to see in the future, what we want to live, what we want to feel. Right. Those visions. And that's the last. That's this recording also.

>> Tiffanie: That's great. I never even thought about that because then it's exactly what they were already being programmed. And you're just reprogramming every day.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Exactly. And also at the beginning, before the session, once they agreed to work with me, and sometimes I send it also out like that. And I actually have that as a freebie on my website. I have an eight minute long induction to hypnosis so people can get used to my voice and can understand, you know, what does it mean, hypnosis? That it's basically just a relaxation. Right. sleeping of the nervous system. Not about you being asleep.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: I mean, you can fall asleep to the tape, but it's really this relaxed state where you are focused on your body, on your subconscious, and not so much in your mind. Yeah.

>> Tiffanie: The mind can be a very destructive place.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Totally.

>> Tiffanie: Where is. What is your website in case people would like to get a hold of you, watch your video, sign up.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: My website is y, hypnotherapy.com. and the y is w h y.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: So why hypnotherapy.com?

>> Tiffanie: I love that.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Thank you.

>> Tiffanie: I think everyone should do it. There's something inside you that needs to be woken or, buried something. And I think everybody could actually benefit.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: I agree 100%. Yeah. I mean, it could. Yeah. Regularly have sessions just because it's so amazing.

>> Speaker C: Right.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: It's really. Yeah. There's so much that, can be done. I mean, it's really like you don't even. I mean, so glad that I can help people that have real blocks, right? That really hold them back or real trauma that still shows in daily life. Right? I'm so glad I can help people like that. But I really think even if a person said, you know what, my life is great, I think it would still help to get better, to feel more aware, to feel more in the present moment. Like, it can always help. It might, you know, unbari, things that you don't know about. So I really think it's just, very powerful. And I also would just recommend it to everyone and anyone.

>> Tiffanie: Me, too. Is there anything else you wanted to add about hypnotherapy or anything about your practice?

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: No, I think that's really all. Yeah.

>> Tiffanie: All right. I'll make sure that I put your website in the show notes, so anybody who is interested, they can find your information there.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Thank you.

>> Tiffanie: yeah, I just want to say thank you so much for coming on and sharing what you do, because you are transforming lives, and it is so important and so needed.

>> Dr. Karoline Fischer: Thank you so much. It was such a pleasure talking to you.

>> Tiffanie: Thank you. Pleasure talking to you, too.
