Welcome back to Don’t Be Strangers, a series of wholesome conversations that focuses on fighting social isolation through stories of everyday people. **I’m XinYi, and I typically meet my co-hosts for the very first time while recording! If this sounds fun to you, please consider applying to co-host a future episode. Or if you’re into community building and making friends, we now have a Discord channel open to you.

Today I’m speaking with my hypnotherapist Tiffani who was introduced to me by my friend Abhas of episode 9. The way that it was explained to me by both Abhas and Tiffani is that hypnotherapy uses light hypnosis (where you are completely conscious the entire time) to access and explore your subconscious mind. You do this to find the exact source of your issue and therefore resolve your problem in a single session as opposed to using traditional therapy where you might spend years never actually targeting the source. The reason why this came up in conversation was because Abhas had used and successfully resolved a problem using Tiffani’s services in the past and was about to try again to tackle a different problem. Furthermore, he’s had two other friends successfully use Tiffani’s hypnotherapy to resolve their problems.

As a fellow introspective and personal development junkie and someone who highly regard Abhas’s opinions…. my interest was piqued. So at the beginning of April this year, I asked Tiffani to help me with an issue I’ve been struggling with all of my adulthood and… I’m really happy with the results. That’s just a little context for how we met. If you’re interested in hearing more about my personal experience, I’ll speak more about it at the end of this conversation.

As someone in her 50’s, I admire Tiffani greatly for the enthusiasm and outlook she has on life. Honestly, whenever I meet someone significantly older but full of energy, I think to myself, “I hope I age gracefully like you.” In this next hour, we cover topics such as…

• her experience being in a cult
• how she extricated herself from that toxic environment
• which occurred in parallel with her completely turning her life around in her 30s
• the issue behind isolation, beyond what the pandemic has generated
• and embracing imperfectionism as the key to vulnerability and connection

With that, please meet Tiffani!
