Bounce Back After a Breakup with Hypnosis

Breakups hurt. Even if you knew it was coming. Even if it was the right call. Your chest gets heavy. Your stomach flips. You can’t stop replaying old texts or wondering what you did wrong.

It’s not just sadness. It’s shock. It’s loneliness. It’s nights where you can’t sleep and mornings where you can’t eat. One of my clients from Tigard said, “It felt like my brain was stuck on repeat. I just wanted the noise to stop.”

That’s where hypnosis can help.

What Hypnotherapy Does

Hypnosis helps quiet the part of your brain that won’t let go. The part that keeps bringing up their name. Their smile. The way things ended.

With hypnosis, you stay awake the whole time. You’re just relaxed—like a deep daydream. In that calm state, your brain starts to soften the pain. It gives you space to breathe. To feel stronger again.

It doesn’t erase the past. It helps you live with it in a way that doesn’t hurt so much.

Why This Is So Hard

Breakups aren’t just about one person. They shake everything. Your routine. Your future plans. Even your identity.

You might think:

  • “I’m not lovable.”

  • “I’ll never find someone else.”

  • “I should’ve tried harder.”

Hypnosis helps change those thoughts. It brings in new ones:

  • “I’m okay.”

  • “This doesn’t define me.”

  • “I still have a future.”

A man from Milwaukie came in after a ten-year relationship ended. He felt numb. After a few sessions, he said, “I stopped blaming myself. I started eating again. I even laughed at work.”

What to Expect in a Session

We talk a little first. You share what’s going on. You don’t have to say much—just what you’re comfortable with.

Then, you sit back and close your eyes. I guide you through calming words. Your mind slows down. The hard parts don’t feel as sharp.

You might cry. You might smile. You might just feel calm for the first time in weeks. Every session is different.

This Is for Anyone Going Through It

You don’t have to be the one who got dumped. Or the one who did the dumping. If your heart hurts, this is for you.

We’ve helped:

  • College students in Lake Oswego

  • Parents in West Linn

  • Young professionals in Portland

  • Retired folks starting over in Tualatin

Pain doesn’t care how old you are. But healing? That’s for everyone too.

You’re Not Weak for Needing Help

A breakup can feel like grief. Like losing someone still alive.

People say, “Just move on.” But your brain doesn’t work that way.

Hypnosis gives you a way forward. It doesn’t rush you. It meets you where you are and helps you move one step at a time.

Getting Over Someone Shouldn’t Mean Losing Yourself

Breakups can make you forget who you were before. What you loved. What made you happy.

One woman from Southwest Portland came in because she couldn’t stop thinking about her ex. She missed hiking. So we used hypnosis to bring back those feelings of freedom and strength. A month later, she sent a photo from Forest Park. Big smile. Mud on her shoes.

That’s the stuff that matters.

Local Help, Real Support

We serve Lake Oswego, West Linn, Tigard, Milwaukie, Tualatin, and nearby areas. You can come into the office or do online sessions if you’d rather be home.

The space is quiet. Private. Safe. You won’t feel rushed. You’ll feel heard.

It Doesn’t Take Forever

Some people start feeling better after one session. Most come for 3–6.

We’ll talk about it upfront. You’re in control the whole time.

What Hypnosis Helps With After a Breakup

  • Sleeping through the night

  • Stopping the spiral of “what if”

  • Rebuilding self-worth

  • Letting go of anger

  • Making space for peace

  • Moving forward

This isn’t about forgetting. It’s about feeling okay again.

Breakups and the Brain

When a relationship ends, your brain goes into overdrive. Chemicals change. Old habits feel off. You’re missing someone who’s not there anymore.

Hypnosis helps calm those signals. It helps balance the storm.

You won’t feel better overnight. But you’ll start to feel like you again.

Real People, Real Results

We’ve had clients from all walks of life come in after a breakup.

  • A guy in Lake Oswego who stopped checking his ex’s Instagram

  • A mom in Tigard who found her laugh again

  • A student in West Linn who stopped blaming herself

They didn’t need to “get over it.” They needed help getting through it. And hypnosis made that possible.

Start When You’re Ready

We don’t push. If you’re curious, just call or message.

We’ll talk. See how you feel. If it’s not right, that’s okay. If it is, we’ll set up a time that works for you.

You Can Bounce Back After a Breakup

Even if it feels impossible right now. Even if you feel stuck. Even if your chest still aches at night.

You can bounce back after a breakup. You can enjoy silence again. You can laugh again. You can sleep through the night.

We’ll help you get there.
