My Hypnotherapy Session on Chronic Fatigue
you are tired, because you are avoiding
In general, I’ve always liked sleeping, but I need so much of it. On many days, I was too exhausted to even talk after after 3pm. I would sleep 10 hours and woke up still tired. Doctors checked my thyroids and said they were ok, weirdly.
Traditional Chinese Medicine calls this Qi deficiency. Qi is energy. When energy stagnates, fatigue follows. QiGong is often recommended, and yes, it helps. But my intuition told me there was more to this than just my body. I wanted to understand why.
So I arranged a hypnotherapy session with a therapist I swap sessions with.
What Came Up in Hypnosis
In trance, she guided me into regression. Strangely, the memories that surfaced were not about exhaustion at all. Instead, I saw how much I partied during my college years, how little I slept, and how vibrant I still felt while backpacking around Europe—even with only five hours of sleep a night.
The message was crystal clear: as long as I’m doing what I truly enjoy, I don’t feel drained. I don’t get sick from it.
This reminded me of something so many parents experience: suddenly becoming energetic at night once the kids are finally asleep, as if the energy had been waiting all day for that moment.
Or how repetitive, boring administrative tasks can feel far more exhausting than they actually are—because they rob us of freedom and joy. Some people are especially sensitive to this loss of free will. And that sensitivity, I realized, is not a weakness. It’s a sign of strong intuition and hidden inner power—if we learn how to use it.
Speaking with My Higher Self
In the session, I asked to speak to my intuition—my Higher Self. Whenever I do this in hypnotherapy, the answers are always profound, sometimes surprising. This time, my Higher Self said:
- A flow state requires a certain level of the unknown and a healthy challenge.
- It also needs to be exciting, not intimidating.
- If you’re in a situation you secretly want to avoid—work, childcare, social events—it will drain every bit of energy you have. You can lose yourself on the way.
- “Willpower” doesn’t help if the motivation is negative (avoiding failure, punishment, or a bad outcome)—you always pay it back later.
Instead:
- Stay centered.
- Know what you want.
- See yourself as the chess player, not the chess piece.
- Don’t victimize yourself.
- Create your own flow state and invite the situation in as a resource—rather than something to avoid.
When you do that, life no longer exhausts you. It fuels you. It even helps you manifest what you truly want. That is the nature of Tao. That is Yin and Yang. You are the line in between—the flow state of life.
How This Changed My Everyday Life
This session blew my mind. I would never have thought such wisdom was already within me. Since then, I’ve started applying this philosophy every single day. Whenever something feels exhausting, I turn it into a game, an experiment, or a challenge:
- On the playground, instead of scrolling on my phone, I climb with my son and turn it into part of my stretching routine.
- When I cook, I invite him to help me—so it becomes quality family time.
- When someone talks about a topic I don’t know, I treat it as a free crash course and ask questions.
And suddenly, life feels lighter. Energy flows again.
