From Chronic Illness to Healer: One Hypnotherapist's Triumph Over Anxiety with Kimberly Lynne
In this episode of Captivate the Mic, I sat down with Kimberly Lynne, a board-certified hypnotist and trauma-informed healer who transformed decades of chronic illness, anxiety, and physical pain into a wellness journey rooted in subconscious healing.
Kimberly shares her personal story of battling over 20 years of unexplained illness, panic attacks, and debilitating symptoms — and how learning hypnosis not only healed her body from the inside out, but led her to help women release emotional baggage, trauma, and chronic stress patterns.
Elaine and Kimberly explore:
- Why physical symptoms often originate from emotional overload
- How panic attacks and chronic illness can be connected
- What hypnosis really is (vs. Hollywood myths)
- How subconscious rewiring reduces anxiety and inflammation
- Why most people don’t heal because they don’t feel safe
- The spiritual role of life challenges and “being called” to do the work
This is a powerful episode for anyone dealing with chronic pain, trauma recovery, or the desire to reclaim their health through mind-body healing.
🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Chronic illness can be rooted in unresolved emotional stress.
Relief often begins when the nervous system feels safe again. - Hypnosis is not mind control — it’s a natural state of focused awareness.
- Healing is gradual and nonlinear.
The body needs time to recalibrate once stressors are removed. - Hypnosis can rapidly reduce panic and anxiety.
Kimberly stopped experiencing panic attacks within weeks. - People resist healing when they don’t feel safe being vulnerable.
Trust and emotional safety accelerate transformation. - You don’t need to believe in hypnosis for it to work — you need willingness.
- Physical healing follows emotional release.
Pain lessens when the underlying stress pattern is removed.
