How Hypnosis Works on the Subconscious Beliefs Behind Burnout, Anxiety, and Perfectionism

If you’ve done the mindset work, built the awareness, and still feel pulled back into anxiety or overdrive, this episode will make sense of what’s happening.

Because most of the time, it’s not your thoughts that are the problem.

It’s the subconscious beliefs driving them.

In this conversation, I’m joined by Tim Shurr, a master hypnotist with decades of experience helping high-achievers release the beliefs underneath anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism.

We talk about why so many patterns persist despite years of mindset work, talk therapy, or self-awareness — and how hypnosis works at the level where real change actually happens.

This episode demystifies hypnosis, explains why it can create rapid and lasting shifts, and explores how unconscious beliefs formed early in life continue to shape our stress responses as adults.

In this episode, we cover:
-Why subconscious beliefs drive burnout, anxiety, and perfectionism
-How unconscious “life rules” get installed and shape behavior
-Why talk therapy can feel like managing symptoms instead of changing patterns
-What hypnosis actually is and how it creates rapid change
-Why worthiness is often the core belief underneath overachievement
-How people-pleasing and perfectionism are stress responses, not personality traits
-Why old patterns return — and how to reinforce real, lasting change

If you’re a high-achiever who has done the work, read the books, tried the tools — and still feels like something invisible keeps pulling you back into the same loops — this episode will help you understand what’s really happening and show you a new way forward.

Press play if you’re ready to stop managing symptoms and start changing the beliefs running your life.
