What happens when an Army veteran who has lived addiction, trauma, psych wards, and identity loss sits down and does real hypnotherapy work on camera? In this episode, Army veteran and clinical hypnotherapist Rachel Veronica walks us through identity loss after military service, addiction recovery, nervous system regulation, and what it actually takes to rewire your beliefs after years of survival mode. This is not motivational fluff. This is lived experience, deep trauma work, and real talk about why so many veterans feel stuck, numb, angry, or addicted to chaos after coming home. Rachel shares her journey from military service to addiction, VA hospitalizations, sobriety, and eventually finding her purpose through hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy. We talk about why talk therapy often stops at awareness, how subconscious beliefs keep people trapped, and why many veterans do not feel safe resting or being calm. This episode explores shame vs guilt, forgiveness, inner child healing, alter egos, and why suffering can become an identity. You will hear a live nervous system reset session, hypnotherapy explained in plain language, and a raw conversation about why change feels threatening even when you want it. This episode is especially relevant for Army veterans, combat veterans, first responders, and anyone dealing with PTSD, addiction, anxiety, depression, or identity loss after trauma. If you have ever felt like the VA failed you, like therapy was not enough, or like you do not know who you are anymore, this conversation will hit home.
