“Healing, Hypnosis & Holistic Health” – September 25, 2025
In this episode, Dr. Christine M. Silverstein shares her inspiring journey into holistic healthcare, beginning at age 15 after witnessing a friend’s epileptic seizure. Sparked by early exposure to nursing, she reflects on how traditional medicine’s mind-body disconnect led her to explore mental health, self-hypnosis, and peak performance coaching. She opens up about overcoming unexplained infertility and miscarriages using mind-body techniques—no drugs, just meditation and self-hypnosis—which later became the foundation of her clinical hypnotherapy and coaching practice. Dr. Silverstein also discusses real-life case stories, including helping a 9-year-old with disordered eating and trauma using therapeutic imagery, and guiding a woman with childhood trauma through hand paralysis recovery using the Affect Bridge Technique. Listeners will learn about her Mindful Toughness® tools like mental rehearsal, Breathing Easy, and Positive Self-Talk, and how she empowers teens and adults to heal, thrive, and win in life.She Rises Studios Podcast #277 with Hanna Olivas
