In this inspiring episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, we sit down with Dr. Ali Lankerani, affectionately known as "Dr. L," founder of Role Model Maker International. With a passion for creating resilient families and vibrant communities, Dr. L shares how his work aligns with the mission of building a healthier and more peaceful world—starting at the family level.

We discuss how protective networks and grassroots initiatives can strengthen families economically, emotionally, and socially. Dr. L highlights the importance of youth empowerment, sustainable development, and entrepreneurship—especially for marginalized populations. His vision ties closely to the United Nations' goals and focuses on fostering positive change from the inside out.

In this follow-up to my powerful conversation with Ana Felice, we dive deeper into the varied ways people respond to hypnosis—especially those of us who grew up in chaotic or dysfunctional environments. If you listened to Ana’s brief hypnosis session and found yourself feeling deeply relaxed, a little unsure, or even resistant, you're not alone—and there's a reason for it.

In this episode, I explain how our nervous systems—shaped by early life experiences—can influence how we respond to practices like hypnosis, meditation, or breathwork. For adult children of alcoholics or those who experienced neglect, control, or unpredictability, surrendering into a relaxed state can feel unsafe at first.

I break down:

• Why your body may instinctively resist relaxation or stillness
• The difference between feeling safe and being safe
• How hypnosis interacts with trauma responses like hypervigilance or dissociation
• Practical tips for easing into hypnosis and somatic work with more confidence

This episode is all about normalizing your experience, offering reassurance, and helping you reclaim inner tools like hypnosis without shame or pressure. Whether you're curious, cautious, or still on the fence, this one’s for you.

In this transformative episode, we sit down with Ana Felice, a professional hypnotist with over 12 years of experience and the visionary founder of Pacifica Hypnosis. Ana offers both online hypnosis sessions worldwide and in-person services in central Miami, helping clients overcome subconscious blocks that keep them stuck—whether it’s limiting beliefs, emotional trauma, fears, or fixed mindsets.

Ana shares her deeply personal story, rooted in a childhood shaped by emotional struggles and complex family dynamics. These early experiences fueled her passion for personal development, emotional healing, and understanding the inner workings of the mind. After exploring numerous healing modalities, it was the discovery of hypnosis that finally brought everything together for her. She describes it as the tool that allowed her to implement all she had learned, finally empowering her to transform her own life from the inside out.

From a successful career in technology to becoming a globally recognized subconscious mind expert, Ana now helps others rewrite their inner programming, guiding them to:

✨ Cultivate deep inner peace and mental clarity

✨ Break free from subconscious self-sabotage and toxic patterns

✨ Develop true self-confidence and emotional freedom

✨ Become active participants in shaping the life they truly desire

Ana's story is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of the mind to heal, grow, and thrive—no matter your past. If you’re looking for tools to reconnect with your authentic self, step into your power, and create lasting change, this episode is for you.
