The RESET Technique©

A five-step method for releasing suppressed emotional trauma in a single hypnotherapy session.

What RESET stands for

RESET is Susan Lawrence's shorthand for Releasing Early Suppressed Emotional Trauma. It is the method she developed across fourteen years and thousands of client sessions, and it is the centerpiece of the certification.

Why "early" and "suppressed" matter

Most of the patterns that trouble adults — the anxiety, the anger, the recurring conflict, the fear of being seen — are held by a younger version of the self who once had to suppress an emotion to stay safe. Talk therapy can name the pattern, but the younger part is not listening to talk. The RESET Technique© goes to the moment the emotion was first suppressed and gently helps the client release it there.

The five steps

  1. Recognize. Together with the client, name the pattern that keeps repeating — the anxiety at work, the fear of abandonment, the tight chest before every phone call.
  2. Enter. Guide the client into the Divine State of Mind® with a full induction and deepener. The thinking mind steps aside.
  3. Seek. Invite the client's subconscious to take them to the origin — the earliest moment the emotion was first felt and suppressed. This is often much younger than the client expects.
  4. Embrace. The client meets the younger self who has been holding the feeling. There is comfort, understanding, and a bringing-into-the-heart.
  5. Transform. The old belief is replaced with a new one that fits who the client is now. The client emerges lighter, clearer, and often noticeably different in the body.

What clients notice

  • The recurring pattern loosens or stops entirely
  • A feeling of "I am not carrying this anymore"
  • Compassion for the younger self who held it
  • Sleep, appetite, and mood shift in the days after
