Support for the Mind After Stroke: Hypnosis for Emotional and Cognitive Recovery
Stroke changes more than just the body—it affects memory, mood, clarity, and confidence. Hypnotherapy offers stroke survivors a powerful, gentle way to reconnect with their mind, rebuild emotional stability, and rewire cognitive patterns through deep relaxation and guided neuroplasticity.
Whether used alongside physical therapy or as emotional support between medical milestones, hypnosis helps survivors (and their families) navigate recovery with more patience, focus, and hope.
Clients have reported:
-
A stronger mind-body connection during rehab
-
Increased patience with themselves and their progress
-
Relief from overwhelm, anxiety, and grief
-
Moments of joy as long-lost memories resurface
Every session is customized to your healing goals and includes a take-home audio recording—so progress doesn’t end when the call ends. Repetition helps rewire the brain. Hypnosis helps make it easier.
Whether your stroke was recent or happened years ago, it’s never too late to support your recovery. Hypnosis can help retrain the brain, restore emotional balance, and reopen pathways that may have felt stuck or lost.
🧠 According to research published in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair (2015), the window for regaining motor function doesn’t close permanently after stroke. Under the right conditions—especially when paired with consistent therapy—the brain can re-engage and adapt long after the initial injury.
💡 What You Can Expect
Clients typically begin seeing noticeable improvements after just a few sessions. From the fourth session onward, the results are often lasting, as the subconscious mind begins to solidify new patterns and responses.
Sessions are available online or in person, and both formats offer equal benefit.
A starting plan of 8 sessions is recommended, allowing us to track improvement, identify what’s working, and adjust as needed.

After my stroke, I was overwhelmed by the smallest things. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t focus, and I didn’t feel like myself. Susana’s hypnosis sessions gave me something no one else had—peace. I started sleeping again. I began remembering old songs and moments I thought I’d lost. Her voice became part of my healing rhythm. I still use her recordings every night

My father had a stroke last year, and we were at a standstill. Therapy was slow, and emotionally he was withdrawing. A friend recommended Susana. From the first session, something shifted. He became calmer, more hopeful—and for the first time, he said he believed he could improve. Her work didn’t just help him—it gave our whole family hope again.
