About

Mary Collins (Catia Lyst) is a certified hypnotherapist and the founder of C.T.C (Coaching, Therapy, Consulting). Before moving into therapy, she spent over thirty years as a multimedia journalist in television and radio. That career taught her to research and explain complex subjects clearly, which is what this course sets out to do.

Mary trained in hypnotherapy and RTT, graduating top of her class, and has since worked with a wide range of clients on issues including anxiety, chronic pain, trauma-related stress and confidence. Her practice draws on hypnosis, IEMT, NLP and other mind-body approaches, and she is developing Chromohypnosis, which combines colour and light therapy with hypnosis.

Having explored many approaches herself, and seen how much time and money people can spend searching for the right one, Mary created Discover Therapy to help others compare their options clearly before they commit.

Certifications: Hypnotherapy M.R.C.H (U.S.), R.T.T (U.K.), PTSD Therapy: Beat Retreat (U.S.), Hypnosis: Jacquin Academy (U.K.)

Why Casual Sex and Sleeping Alone Can Contribute to Insomnia
As a hypnotherapist, I often remind clients that the mind doesn’t separate emotional experiences from physical ones. Sleep is not just a biological process, it’s also an emotional state of safety. When someone regularly engages in one-night stands or frequently sleeps alone after periods of intimacy, the nervous system can become caught between seeking connection and protecting itself. This isn’t true for everyone, but for some people it can contribute to restless sleep. The Science Behind It...
