Sharon Jackman’s Six Sessions to Breakthrough: A Structured Approach to Lasting Change

February 11, 20266 min read

The step-by-step method behind real healing and transformation

Are you frustrated watching clients make slow progress despite your best efforts? Do you feel like you’re starting from scratch each session, unsure of the next step? You’re not alone. Many hypnotherapists struggle with unstructured sessions. Now, picture having a proven framework that guides clients from emotional turmoil to profound clarity in just six sessions. No guesswork, no aimless talks, just tangible transformation. This is what Sharon Jackman, CH teaches in her six-session protocol, a structured, repeatable method for real results, shared in a compelling HypnoConnect presentation.

Why Six Sessions Work Better Than One

Sharon Jackman explains that while one or two sessions can help with specific issues like phobias or smoking cessation, deeper emotional challenges usually need more time. A single session often leaves clients feeling unfinished and even blaming themselves if the issue returns. Sharon’s six session model creates enough space for real transformation without dragging the process out.

Clients develop steadily from week to week, and practitioners avoid the pressure of needing instant results. By the final session, clients can clearly see a healthier, more empowered version of themselves, a noticeable shift from where they began.

Structure Creates Safety for You and the Client

A structured plan doesn’t limit creativity; it empowers it. Sharon Jackman’s six-session model assigns each session a clear purpose, aligning with how the brain heals. Sharon shared that she once felt uncertain in sessions until she developed this clear roadmap, moving from parts work to emotional release, memory reconsolidation, and future pacing. This clarity boosted her confidence, and her clients responded with breakthroughs, feeling safe within the structure.

Rewiring the Brain Through the “Ascending” Model

Sharon Jackman’s framework uses an “ascending brain” approach, starting with the reptilian brain (body memories), moving to the limbic system (emotions), and ending with the prefrontal cortex (beliefs). It clears old triggers, stuck emotions, and limiting beliefs like “I’m not enough.” As Sharon noted, quoting a favorite saying, “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.” This process rewires clients’ emotional history, freeing them from past pain and creating a new timeline for their future.

The Power of Future Pacing: See It, Feel It, Become It

Future pacing is a cornerstone of Sharon’s method, used in every session. Clients visualize life without struggles, whether self-doubt, shame, or habits like overeating. This practice, emphasized in the HypnoConnect talk, rewires neural pathways through memory reconsolidation, teaching the brain new responses. The final session’s powerful future pacing, where clients meet their “future you,” anchors a transformed identity on a new timeline, distinct from their initial, pain-bound vision.

Don’t Force Integration, Let It Happen Naturally

Sharon Jackman’s approach avoids forcing full integration early. Early sessions focus on parts work, letting protective or resistant parts (like an inner critic) feel heard. Sharon shared a personal story of needing a part acknowledged to relax, allowing deeper healing. This gentle approach ensures clients progress naturally, feeling integrated by the end.

Handling Resistance With Compassion and Skill

Resistance, like clients saying “I’m resisting” or skipping recordings, is common. Sharon’s framework sees it as a signal, not a failure. Early parts work lowers these defenses. By addressing resistance compassionately, clients become more open, aligning their brain and heart for deeper transformation. This structured yet empathetic approach ensures engagement and progress.

Why Templates and Flexibility Work Together

Sharon Jackman uses a process-based template, not rigid scripts, as she explained to audience members about session guides. With about 10 core techniques (e.g., parts work, regression, future pacing), she adapts to each client’s needs while following a clear sequence. This balance lets practitioners stay focused yet intuitive, handling surprises like a sudden phobia with ease.

Emotional Breakthroughs Take Time

The HypnoConnect session included stories illustrating why six sessions matter. A client’s “secret garden” visualization, where a desolate garden bloomed with crystals, symbolizing revived dreams, needed multiple sessions to unfold. Another practitioner tried a four-session weight release but felt it fell short. Six sessions give clients space to reflect and transform deeply, celebrating “tiny wins” that stack into lasting change.

Real Results Across Different Issues

Sharon Jackman’s six-session method is versatile, addressing weight loss, business blocks, heartbreak, or trauma. The brain forms emotional patterns similarly across issues, so the same structure applies. Practitioners customize details but rely on a solid framework, gaining confidence to handle any client’s challenges effectively.

A Personal Mission: Healing Unworthiness

Sharon Jackman’s mission is to heal unworthiness in women, the root of many client issues. Her framework naturally resolves this core wound, even if clients initially seek help for surface goals like weight loss or business success. This focus, inspired by her own $3.9M wakeup call (a lawsuit from suppressing her intuition), resonates deeply, delivering wholeness alongside specific outcomes.

Tools You Already Know, in a Sequence That Works

Sharon’s model uses familiar tools, parts work, age regression, memory reconsolidation, future pacing, sequenced for impact. It mirrors shamanic soul retrieval, integrating “inner children” across ages. Starting with parts work lowers resistance, paving the way for emotional release and belief shifts, making the process both effective and repeatable.

How to Package and Sell the Six Sessions

Selling a six-session package can be daunting, but Sharon Jackman offers a solution. She advises presenting it as a structured journey, not single sessions, and building trust. Her consult script, shared at Captivating Consults, includes a “magic question” to make clients feel understood and avoid quoting prices prematurely. This approach has enrolled clients in programs from $150 to $15,000.

Real Client Moments That Make It All Worth It

A client’s story of a revitalized “secret garden” showed how revisiting visualizations sparked hope. Another client, unknowingly making better choices during weight release, saw small wins grow as Sharon emphasized celebrating. These moments, shared in the lively HypnoConnect Q&A, highlight the power of a structured, compassionate approach.

Six Sessions Is the Sweet Spot

While complex issues like OCD may need more, Sharon Jackman agrees that six sessions suit most clients. It builds trust, clears blocks, and anchors new futures. Some practitioners extend with coaching, but the six-session core remains robust and effective.

You Deserve Confidence, and Your Clients Deserve Results

With Sharon Jackman’s framework, you can work with confidence, free from guesswork. It empowers you to deliver real change while enjoying your practice, avoiding burnout. Your clients gain lasting transformation, stepping into lives unburdened by past pain.
