On Sacred Harmony we unpack practical hypnotherapy for real-world anxiety relief, especially for autistic and other neurodivergent folks. Lawrence Bartley, the Autistic Hypnotist, reframes hypnosis as focused inner attention. Not mind control. He breaks down content-free hypnotherapy, why clear step-by-step instructions matter for ND brains, and how stimulation first then relaxation can unlock deeper trance. We cover EFT-style tapping warmups, metaphor work like the “heavy backpack,” and consent driven suggestions that keep the client in the driver’s seat.     About the guest:   Lawrence Bartley is an autistic hypnotherapist known as the Autistic Hypnotist. He specializes in anxiety reduction for neurodivergent clients using content-free hypnosis, precise instructions, and nervous-system priming.     Key takeaways  : Hypnosis is intense focus turned inward. not mind control or secret extraction. Content-free hypnotherapy uses metaphors to drive change without revisiting painful history. Clear instructions reduce cognitive load. critical for autistic and analytical clients. Over-stimulation then downshift to relaxation helps anxious clients access trance reliably. Simple tapping sequences can prime the nervous system for change when “just relax” fails. Clients always choose which suggestions to accept. collaboration beats coercion every time. Metaphor work like “dropping the heavy backpack” can create visible posture and breath shifts. Adapt the method to sensory needs. e.g., avoid face tapping if it is aversive, use hand or collarbone points. Neurodivergence can be a superpower. deep focus and fast neuroplasticity accelerate results. Hospitals increasingly explore hypnosis for pain and procedure support. interest and acceptance are rising.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://lawrencebartley.com/ YouTube | TikTok   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
