How Is Your Subconscious Really Controlling Your Life

The mind remembers what the heart tries to forget, but healing begins the moment you decide to look within. In this episode of the Chromatic Connection Podcast, host Fatima Al Shirawi sits down with Mona Mirza, clinical hypnotherapist and founder of Bio Aesthetic Clinic, for an intimate and eye-opening conversation on hypnosis, trauma, inner child work, and the power of rewiring the subconscious mind. Mona shares how her journey from aesthetics into psychotherapy became a natural evolution of treating beauty from the inside out. Together, they unpack what hypnosis truly is, what it is not, and why so much of our behavior is driven by subconscious programming formed in childhood. From grief and body image struggles to anxiety, addiction, phobias, relationship patterns, and post-COVID emotional shifts, this episode explores how unprocessed emotions quietly shape our lives until we choose to face them.
