Transforming your thoughts and beliefs will lead you to become the person you were destined to be
I have always believed that awareness is the first step to transformation and change.
Welcome to Jean-Marie Krause’s Cape Town hypnotherapy practice, where transformation awaits.
Hi, I’m Jean-Marie Krause, a qualified Hypnotherapist in Cape Town, specialising in helping adults navigate and overcome adverse childhood experiences, anxiety, and depression.
My expertise extends to addressing issues such as self-esteem, confidence, smoking cessation, and weight loss.
With internationally recognised credentials in Psychology, Hypnotherapy, and Trauma facilitation, coupled with a global therapeutic background, I bring a pragmatic approach to healing. Drawing from personal experiences with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem struggles, I provide empathetic guidance to high-achieving women, helping to transform them into a version of themselves free from emotional burdens and mental health issues.
Jean-Marie Krause is not just a Cape Town hypnotherapist but also an Advanced Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT).
Embark on a journey of self-discovery and well-being with Jean-Marie, a dedicated partner committed to guiding you toward a version of yourself free from the constraints of the past.
Hypnosis is a mental state of total relaxation that carries focused attention and receptiveness to external suggestions and has been used in Western medicine for more than 150 years. In fact, it is the oldest form of psychotherapy.
At Harvard, two small experimental studies proved that hypnosis even helps with the healing of broken bones and speedier recovery from wounds.
During another study, conducted at the Stanford School of Medicine, researchers were able to see neural changes while scanning the brains of subjects who were hypnotized.
It is vital to understand that hypnotherapy in practice is not what is displayed in the media, with swinging pendulums or where the person being hypnotized is not in control of their actions.
Hypnosis ensures that you are completely at ease while we, jointly and consensually, explore and alter your subconscious.
You are always in control, and I am your guide.
Don’t fix things on a surface level. You need to go deep into the cellar of your mind and fix the foundation of your soul/subconscious. You can fix any issue, by going back and understanding the interpretation. You will always just be good on a surface level, until you go deep into your mind to figure out and face the issue.
RTT® is a hybrid therapy developed by Marisa Peer in London. It combines the best of hypnotherapy with unique methods for permanent, lasting change.
RTT® helps break bad habits, enables people to achieve extraordinary results in sports and performing arts, success in business, and overcome depression, anxiety, fears and phobias.
RTT® works on the subconscious mind. Change directed by the conscious mind has its limits. Will power alone can’t break the chains of bad habits or fears. That’s why we find ourselves making the same New Year’s resolution time and again. To change we need more than just will power and logic. We need to connect with the subconscious mind.
RTT® empowers you and sets you free from your issues by reframing old beliefs and rewiring in new beliefs.
RTT® is a distinctive therapeutic approach based on neuroscience, combining the most beneficial principles of Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, NLP, and CBT. As a comprehensive solution-based therapy, RTT has been recognized for its unparalleled results.
No one is born with fears, no one is born with anxiety. Events that happen to us have no meaning but we give it meaning. And that meaning we attach to those events forms the blueprint and beliefs that direct our lives.
Surprisingly, often the thoughts and beliefs we are having are not ours – they are from either our past experiences or people around us. These beliefs will be engraved in our subconscious mind, whether they are good or bad, true or right, form the blueprints that rule our lives, making us who we are today. That being the case, to change, we need to connect with our subconscious mind.
So, why is the subconscious mind not a part of our everyday awareness? Early on in life we learn to navigate the world using our conscious mind. Just like when you start learning to drive. That is conscious learning but soon after the subconscious picks it up and driving becomes subconscious. The subconscious mind picks everything up – good or bad, right or wrong – it does not differentiate, it just accepts it as true and that becomes our beliefs.
The subconscious mind is an extraordinary resource, like a vault where everything we have learned or experienced is kept there. Experiences that have shaped how we feel about life in general and why we react to certain things in particular. Our subconscious gives rise to epiphanies and brilliant ideas.
‘Our subconscious mind is 30,000 times more powerful than our conscious mind’
RTT® works on the premise that you know what is the root cause of your issue but the only problem is it is buried deep in your subconscious mind.
RTT® is an accelerated form of therapy that gets to the root cause in your subconscious. It gets you unstuck very quickly and easily.
Unlike regular therapy that deals with the conscious mind, during RTT® we access the subconscious mind through hypnosis, find the root cause of that belief and change it to something better and beneficial to you.
The truth is you cannot make anyone in hypnotherapy ever do what they don’t want to do. You stay in full control during the entire experience. There has never been a scenario where a person has not come out of hypnosis, it is not possible. I can never make you do what you don’t want to do. I can make you come around to things you already told me you would like – I’d like to be a speaker, I’d like less anxiety, I’d like to attract and maintain love, I’d like confidence, I’d like to give up chocolate and cake. I can give you that, but I am doing it with you. I help you to give yourself what you need. I can never do what you don’t want me to do. For example, if someone asks if their child can come in to make them stop smoking, yes, I can do that, but only if the person themselves want to do it. If you don’t want to be hypnotized, you won’t be. Hypnotherapy does not put you to sleep, it wakes you up to your full potential and possibilities. You have no idea what your potential is because every time your reach it, it expands. You’re not unconscious, you don’t go to sleep. Many people will stop a session because they need to go to the bathroom, children move around. Hypnosis is not going to sleep; it is sleep of the nervous system. Your body relaxes, but your mind is wide awake, super alert and taking everything in.
RTT® helps you change perceptions and thoughts at the subconscious level. Positive suggestions, like seeds, are planted in the subconscious mind and new and better beliefs are able to take root.
Anywhere between 1-3 sessions to get to the root cause, depending on how deep the issue is. We will find out during the session.
90-120 minutes.
You will first be asked to fill up an intake form prior to your session. During the session the therapist will then go through your form and ask you some questions to get more clarity on the issue.
Then the session will commence. You will then be induced into hypnosis, then regressed to events that gave you this belief, then those old beliefs will be removed and installed with a new belief.
You will then be given a personalized recording that you MUST listen to EVERYDAY for a MINIMUM of 21 days. This recording lays down pathways or connection between neurons. As new pathways are strengthened, new behaviours become second nature. It is important that you play an active role in your transformation by listening to the recording.
This change becomes permanent and lasting. You break free easily, effortlessly and happily from whatever that’s weighing you down.
Having achieved globally validated results, RTT™ has received accreditation in the US, UK, and Australia, including the National Council of Psychotherapists, the American Board of Hypnotherapy, the International Council of Psychotherapists and the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. Marisa’s transformative impact has also been acknowledged by the Royal School of Medicine in New York and London.
