A Closer Look at My Hypnotherapy Practice: 7 Questions and Answers

For the eleventh consecutive year, Kemila Zsange Hypnotherapy & Counselling has been recognised as one of Vancouver’s Top Three Choices for hypnotherapy practices by ThreeBestRated.

This year’s recognition came with an invitation to answer seven questions about my practice. I welcomed the opportunity to share more about how I approach hypnotherapy, adapt sessions to individual clients, work with emotional responses, and create a safe and supportive environment.

In these seven questions and answers, I go beyond describing the services I offer. I share the thinking, experience, and philosophy behind my work as a Registered Clinical Counselling-Hypnotherapist (RCCH), practising in Vancouver since 2009.

Whether you’re considering hypnotherapy for the first time, curious about what happens during a session, or simply interested in understanding my approach, I invite you to have a read.

Why Self-Awareness Doesn’t Always Lead to Change?

Why can we understand something deeply, yet continue living as if we don’t? In this video filmed in Victoria, Australia, I explore why insight alone doesn’t always create lasting change—and how genuine transformation emerges beyond the thinking mind.

Hypnotist – Master of Language

What if not being a native English speaker turned out to be an advantage for a hypnotist?

For me, language is not simply a way of communicating. It is something to listen to, play with, and sometimes take very literally. Words can carry multiple meanings, create unexpected associations, and open doors into the unconscious mind.

From “What brought you here?” — “My feet did.” — to turning “overwhelmed” into “well-whelmed,” and using the words transfer, trance, transform, and transparent during an IVF journey, this is a glimpse into how I use language in my work.

Perhaps the obstacle was never my English.

Perhaps it was the opportunity.

When Adaptation Becomes Erosion

For many years, I believed adaptability was one of my greatest strengths. But at what point does adaptation stop being wisdom and start becoming erosion? Through the story of a client navigating betrayal, accommodation, and the quiet disappearance of her own desires, I found myself confronting a deeper question: how many of us have built lives around what we can tolerate, instead of what truly nourishes us?

Start Where the Fear Lives

Most therapy works with the story. This work starts somewhere else. By entering the sensation of fear—gently and with curiosity—the mind drops into trance, and the body begins to unwind what thinking alone cannot reach.

Why I Still Choose One-on-One Work

As the hypnotherapy field grows and evolves, I often get asked why I don’t teach certification programs or run large-scale online courses. The truth is simple: I still love working one-on-one. This post is a reflection on why that choice continues to feel authentic, relevant, and alive for me.

Reflections in the Mirror of AI: How My ChatGPT Became a Consciousness Companion

A new client came to me today. Let’s call him Gary. He spoke of the failure patterns in his personal and professional life—a long chain of disappointments, and the looming fear of more to come.
I asked him, “Why now? Why is this the right time to come to therapy, especially hypnotherapy?”
Gary admitted he hadn’t even considered therapy for those patterns and fears. But a recent conversation with a trusted friend—about how he couldn’t recall happy memories from childhood or teenage years—prompted his friend to suggest “hypnosis regression therapy.”
Gary trusts this friend deeply. “So,” he said, “I asked my secretary, ChatGPT, for suggestions. Your name came up as the number one recommendation.”

What If Past Life Regression Brings Random Imagery?

When I started my career as a hypnotherapist, I didn’t realize that doing past life regressions would be a huge part of my work. It somehow turned out that way, if you consider that I have written three books, all directly or indirectly about past lives, and I host past life workshops in the West End and Kitsilano Community Centres in Vancouver.

From Bachelor’s to Master’s

It was Cameron’s second session. He returned to the office reporting a “successful” experience with his new girlfriend. Cameron didn’t have many questions when he first contacted me. He simply made a Saturday morning appointment. Because it was a weekend,...

Do I Tell A Client What to Do

In a typical therapy or counselling session, we as practitioners listen, and reflect. In so doing, we help our clients draw out their inner wisdom, so they find answers, solutions or resolutions on their own.

A therapist/counsellor is not there to tell a client what to do, as we cannot decide for anyone else. With that said, throughout my years of practice, I find we don’t need to rigidise anything that we think is “good” or helpful. Besides the lines of “Tell me more about it”, and “how does that make you feel” to reflect back a client’s own inner resources, there are also places for our flexibility, relatability and intuition.
