NLP Podcast 137: Hypnosis with Kim Fleckenstein

Who isn't interested in hypnosis? Many people think of exciting stage shows when they hear about hypnosis, where spectators are put into a trance in an instant. Hypnotherapist Kim Fleckenstein deals with hypnosis in treatment and accompanies others through various change processes. In a private clinic at Tegernsee, she also meets international clients. It's anything but just a show! But – how did it all begin?

After working for 15 years as a manager in the textile industry, Kim Fleckenstein increasingly longed for change. For three to four months, she was accompanied by a personal coach. During this time, she developed her interest in coaching. Eventually, she even considered becoming a coach herself. Her friends encouraged her in her endeavor: “Even if it is painful – you always hit the nail on the head! You address exactly the issue that matters.” Kim Fleckenstein thought about how she could best become self-employed. She regularly continued her education and came into contact with hypnosis for the first time during her initial NLP training.

From her own experience, Kim Fleckenstein knows that behind one issue, there are usually many other issues. An example from her work: A client entered the practice to quit smoking. After two sessions, the issue was already resolved. It was now much more about her client's self-confidence: putting pressure on oneself, successfully dealing with stressful situations, becoming unjust... In front of her sat a man with an incredibly large fortune, who was financially secure for his entire life. Nevertheless, he was neither happy nor self-confident. Kim Fleckenstein wanted to know how he grew up and who he encountered along the way. She then worked with the “Healing of the Inner Child” and led the client into hypnosis in such a way that he relived situations from the past. Even experiences that had been forgotten could come to the surface.

“Everything starts with you and everything ends with you. The more consciously you make this and the more consciously you work with yourself, the more relaxed and composed you will be.”, says Kim Fleckenstein.
