Inspiring Conversations with Sun of Rising Sun Hypnotherapy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sun.

Hi Sun, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am the proud son of immigrants from El Salvador. I have been blessed in my life to receive many types of education, including academic education. I hold a BA in Psychology, a MS in Counseling Psychology, and a diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy. I have, in one way or another, been counseling people since I was 18 years old. I began as an after-school program counselor and am now working in an online based private practice as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist.

I started Rising Sun Hypnotherapy about four years ago to help people heal from traumas, wounds, generational patterns, and so much more. I chose hypnotherapy as my main healing modality because I know the unconscious mind is challenging to reprogram, even with the best intentions. Hypnotherapy is so helpful because it gives us direct access to the unconscious mind and thus makes healing so much more accessible. I am also a trained Marriage and Family Therapist in California and hope to integrate my hypnotherapy work with couples and families one day.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Well, let’s be real… life is a struggle at times. My life journey has been filled with both challenges and triumphs. From early childhood wounds (abandonment, physical abuse, emotional abuse, colonization, loss of culture) to my professional career, I have worked to heal so many injuries. As a therapist, I count all challenges as opportunities to learn about life so that I can help others.

Working in the field of mental health for the past seven years has been its own challenge. From navigating a Eurocentric view of “health and wellness” to being exploited by the system, I have learned to practice career-based boundaries and to also begin decolonizing my own practice.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I am an experienced healer, who has worked with a wide range of people. My hypnotherapy business is all online, and I work with clients from across the United States, Mexico, Canada, Costa Rica, Portugal, Lebanon, and more!
I specialize in spiritual hypnosis, ancestral work, inner child work, dream interpretation, therapeutic imagery, past-life regression, habit change, and beyond.
I mostly serve BIPOC, queer, healers, artists, business owners, although l have experience helping people from all walks of life.

Can you share something surprising about yourself?
People might be surprised to know how spirit-based my practice and work are. Although I am not a religious person, it is my deep connection with the earth, with ancestors, and with divine guidance that enables me to carry out my calling as a healer. People might also be surprised to learn that I am a punk/rebel at heart—and that dismantling systems of oppression drive and motivate me!
