You know how to analyze and make decisions. But something inside keeps you stuck.
I help you work with what willpower or familiar conversations haven’t changed. It may be a reaction you can’t change through willpower, a recurring relationship pattern, or a sense that something needs to change, even if you’re not yet sure what.
My work combines a strategic approach with classical hypnotherapy. You can come with a specific situation or simply a sense that there’s something you need to sort out.

You’ve grown up, but guilt, fear, obligation, or familiar family patterns still shape your life.
Read moreWhy hypnosis
You can understand a reaction and still feel it. Hypnosis uses focused attention to work with that experience – the feelings, images, expectations, and bodily sensations that arise in a particular situation.
Hypnosis is an experiential therapy method. It involves working in a light trance state, where your emotions and sensations become more accessible to conscious examination and correction. This allows you to reach where talk therapy usually can't.
I guide you through this process, helping you explore what keeps the reaction in place and experience different ways of responding. The aim is for change to become something you can feel and carry into everyday life.
You remain aware and involved throughout. You can speak, ask questions, and choose how much of your story to share.
Sebastian Kristof
Understand what keeps the reaction in place.
I bring medical training, research experience, and hypnosis training to an analytical approach. The work helps you use your own knowledge and resources to feel and act with more freedom. I tackle the hard stuff: finding meaning and happiness, starting over after 40, untangling difficult childhood experiences, guilt and regret, and recurring relationship patterns.
