What coming home to yourself looks like

Not a mood you have to believe in, but changes you can notice in everyday life:

  • You fall asleep without replaying the day.
  • You come home from work and can actually switch off.
  • You make a decision and stop re-checking it.
  • You say no without guilt, and yes without resentment.
  • You rest without feeling you have to earn it first.
  • You make a mistake, correct it, and move on.
  • Your body feels calm more often than tense.

Every person changes at their own pace, but this is the direction of the work.

What stands in the way is often an inner voice.

It looks like gold. It works like venom.

You should have done more. Who do you think you are? Not good enough. Not yet.

Your inner critic is not your enemy. It developed to protect you: it pushed you to achieve, to be good, to be careful. That is why it feels valuable, like gold.

The problem is the dose. When it never switches off, it keeps your body in a state of alarm: tense muscles, shallow breathing, a mind that keeps checking. Over time, this costs sleep, energy, joy and closeness to others.

That is also why insight alone rarely helps. You can know that you are too hard on yourself and still react the same way, because the reaction is faster than the thought.

In more than twenty years in the pharmaceutical industry, I learned one basic rule: the dose makes the poison. The aim is not to remove your inner critic, but to bring it back to a useful dose.

Roots in the shadow. Branches in the light.

Like a tree, the work starts at the roots and grows upwards. Three steps, each preparing the next.

  1. Roots: calm the stress response

    With hypnosis, breathing and body awareness informed by Yin Yoga, your nervous system shifts from alarm to rest. Under alarm, the brain prioritises protection; in a calm state, it is open to new learning.

  2. Trunk: understand your inner critic

    We trace when it speaks, what it says, whose rules it repeats and what it once protected you from. A pattern you understand loses much of its automatic power.

  3. Branches: change the beliefs behind it

    With RTT® hypnotherapy, we replace core beliefs such as "I am only worth something when I perform" with more accurate ones. Your standards and judgment remain; the constant attack does not. That is what I mean by an ally.

You stay aware and in control throughout our session, and you can stop at any moment.

Inga Zollinger, hypnotherapist in Zurich

I know this voice from the inside.

For more than twenty years I have worked in leadership in the pharmaceutical and MedTech world, and I still do. A world where nothing is good enough until it is proven. In 2019 I survived a serious accident, and I decided to stop living by that voice.

  • As a legal interpreter, I hear what lies between your words, in your own language.
  • As an investigator, I find where things really began.
  • As a Yin Yoga teacher, I help your body feel safe first.

How we begin

Step 1

The Happy Memories Session

ca. 2.5 hours · Zurich or online

Your first session has three parts. A conversation and a map of your inner critic: when it speaks, what it says, whose voice it carries. A gentle hypnosis to a few of your happiest memories, which show the strengths you already have and how you respond to hypnosis. And a clear recommendation for your next step.

Audio Journeys

"Return to Your Power" · approximately 30 minutes · CHF 29 for three months' access, without automatic renewal. When your inner critic grows quiet, you stop giving your power away.

An invitation

You do not have to become somebody else to begin living more fully.

You only need to come home to who you already are.

Start with one session. By the end of it, you will know where your inner critic comes from, how you respond to hypnosis, and whether deeper work makes sense for you.
