Christine Knight is a certified clinical hypnotherapist dedicated to helping people reconnect back to the disconnected parts of themselves to bring healing, peace, and abundance into their lives. Christine has taken the "scenic route" in her own healing journey from complex childhood developmental trauma over the past two decades and now brings all her experience and education in clinical hypnotherapy and mental health counseling to help you navigate your journey towards healing and wholeness.
Christine experienced a childhood of domestic abuse, trauma, and sexual abuse that has required decades of healing and recovery. Her personal journey and experiences give her an added element of true compassion and empathy that helps give understanding and guidance to others to overcome similar abuse and trauma. The ramifications of self-protection, disconnection, and survival mechanisms adapted from trauma and abuse flow strongly into adulthood causing impulsive decisions, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and addiction. It is Christine's mission to help as many people as possible overcome these ramifications of trauma and lead a fulfilling and abundant life.
Christine believes in client-focused and solution-focused counseling following theory based on Internal Family Systems (IFS founded by Dr. Richard Schwartz) therapy using empathetic motivational interviewing (Dr. Carl Rogers, Dr. Gabor Mate') and self-regulation of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and providing an ultimately safe environment to build trust and lay the foundation for personal self-reflection, accountability, and growth (Dr. Stephen Porges).
