Hypnotherapy & Breathwork FAQ
Couples Work + Disclosure + Intimacy + Repair After Infidelity
Hypnotherapy & Breathwork in Farmington Hills
Available in-person and virtually across Michigan.
Hypnotherapy
Yes. When compulsive behavior affects a relationship, there are usually two clinical lanes:
Compulsion recovery + shame cycle repair
Betrayal trauma stabilization + safety/repair work.
No forced disclosure.
Structured disclosure is clinically appropriate, it is planned:
- Carefully
- Paced
- Supported
Never done impulsively or in a way that floods the nervous system.
We slow down and prioritize safety.
Repair work requires:
- Stabilization
- Accountability without humiliation
- Communication that doesn’t retraumatize
Hypnotherapy is primarily individual-focused, but it can support couples indirectly by:
- Reducing nervous-system reactivity
- Shame spirals
- Avoidance
- Threat responses
So repair conversations become possible. (When used, it’s coordinated with therapy goals and consent.)
That’s a betrayal bind. We treat the nervous-system conflict (attachment longing + threat response)
So you can make decisions and communicate from steadiness rather than panic.
No. Healing is not the same as forgiveness.
The goal is:
- Safety
- Clarity
- Boundaries
- Repair (if chosen)
Not pressure to reconcile or excuse.
Repair looks like:
- Reduced hypervigilance
- Less detective looping
- Consistent accountability
- Healthier agreements
- Improved emotional regulation
- Trust rebuilding that feels embodied—Not performative.
Yes. Work can focus on:
- stabilization
- Clarity
- Boundaries
- Self-trust
While you decide what alignment looks like moving forward.
*Hypnotherapy supports trauma-sensitive subconscious repair—Reducing threat activation, intrusive loops, and “detectiveness” patterns by rebuilding internal safety and self-trust.*
Breathwork
Yes—Breathwork can support couples by reducing reactivity and helping each partner come back to regulation before difficult conversations.
It’s a nervous-system foundation that makes repair work more possible.
We don’t use intense breathwork during flooding moments.
We use brief, grounding-based regulation techniques before/after hard conversations so neither partner is pushed past tolerance.
That’s a common nervous-system mismatch. Breathwork helps each partner build capacity
One to downshift, the other to stay present—So connection and repair can actually happen.
It can support reconnection by reducing fear responses in the body and rebuilding safety.
Intimacy repair isn’t forced—It’s rebuilt through:
- Steadiness
- Consent
- Nervous-system trust
Therapy can help you with this.
No. It’s a powerful support tool.
Breathwork helps regulation; therapy addresses:
- Meaning
- Trust
- Boundaries
- Repair agreements
*Breathwork helps partners regulate before and after hard conversations—Lowering escalation, increasing emotional tolerance, and making disclosure and repair work more steady and workable.*
You deserve support that honors the depth of what you’ve experienced.
