The Difference Between Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy

The Difference Between Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy

by Kathleen Shannon | Jul 30, 2026 | Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy

What Is the Difference Between Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy? California does not recognize the difference between Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. This is good for me because I enjoy facilitating both. With all due respect, it’s really just semantics and politics! For...

Thank you, Kathleen! It's been a year since our sessions. The unexpected word that came from my hypnosis was the solitary string that began to unravel the traumas woven into the tapestry of my life. Thank you. You will always have that special place in my heart for listening to me.

I had a past life regression with Kathleen and it was surprisingly healing! I experienced being a child in a wealthy family which was completely unexpected. In that lifetime I experienced the finer things in life. Crazy! I was refreshed and relaxed afterward. Thank you, Kathleen!

Kathleen has guided me through hypnosis, meditation and talk therapy. She is wise and personable, and has a natural way of connecting with people. I’ve learned some key things about myself, my past, and how to move forward. Very thankful for Kathleen.

My Reconnective Healing session with Kathleen was amazing!  During the session I felt tingling all over my body, I saw colors and images I even fell asleep.  Afterwards I felt relaxed and the pain I had in my lower back disappeared.  I highly recommend Kathleen.

Kathleen was terrific. Knowledgeable, sensitive, informative… I immediately felt at ease and felt confident in my receiving her expert and highly specific care that included healing. I am very impressed with the overall experience. HIGHLY recommend.

Kathleen has been studying holistic healing for literally decades. Needless to say, she knows her stuff! I've had the wonderful experience of her different work over the years, from past-life regressions to reconnective healings, all of which serve their own purposes to heal the mind, body and soul. She has made me realize that there are many things in human physiology and spirituality that we still cannot explain, and her work seems to transcend this and tap into something truly outside our understanding, yet it somehow just works. She is patient, and wise both as a woman and a healer. She is a great guide in unlocking our potential to heal ourselves, which is ultimately what she does. I've never been disappointed with her and doubt you will either.

Kathleen is a wonderful person that puts you at ease immediately. She is easy to talk to and her ability to work me through this process made it very comfortable. It was fascinating to explore a past life with her help and how it connects to my life today and the lessons I am learning as a soul. Thank you, Kathleen for your help!

I was referred to Reverend Kathleen Shannon for Reconnection Healing session.  I didn't know what to expect with my session since it was my first time but afterwards, I felt compelled to learn more about it.  I had felt energy tingling through my body during the session and I felt like I had seen an image of her over me, though my eyes were shut.  I also felt very peaceful afterwards. That was just incredible. Kathleen is very warm and friendly.  Her treatment room is cozy and welcoming.  I felt immediately relaxed and comfortable. I thought we instantly clicked. She thoroughly explained how it works and guided me before my sessions so I could just observe and relax.  I did Reconnection Healing and the Personal Reconnection session with her.  I completed the Personal Reconnection in 2 parts on 2 separate days.  It didn't seem long at all and it was comfortable on her padded massage table.  It was a very relaxing experience. I was intrigued about learning more about Reconnection Healing and she sent me information and website about Dr. Eric Pearl.  I saw a video of his healing technique on Dr Oz.  I didn't have any particular pain to deal with but with Kathleen's help, I was able to experience the healing frequencies and also attend their in-person event in Palm Springs where I really got to dive in and learn more. Kathleen has been doing this for several years and she's very experienced in the Reconnection Healing. I highly recommend if you are looking for someone that can do this, Kathleen is awesome.  She's able to do the Reconnection Healing remotely (and in person) but the Personal Reconnection sessions must be done in person. in addition, I learned that Kathleen also does hypnosis and past life regression.  I'm looking forward to trying a session or two on that as I really believe it can help.  I am fascinated by the work and learned she has been doing this for a long time. My biggest compliment is that I have referred my girlfriend to her who is experiencing pain and trauma.  She is excited to have a session with Kathleen.  Thank you Kathleen for all the effort and love you put in through the work you do!
