Navigating Emotions with Clarity and Control

Living in Los Angeles, a city renowned for its fast-paced environment, diverse cultures, and constant hustle, brings about unique emotional challenges. The pressures of work, relationships, personal expectations, and societal norms often create an emotional rollercoaster that can feel overwhelming. At Hadar Harush RTT Hypnotherapy, I understand that emotions, whether caused by stress, trauma, or everyday struggles, can sometimes take control of your life, making it difficult to move forward.

Emotional Surfing is a powerful technique designed to help individuals ride the waves of their emotions with calm, control, and confidence. This method is grounded in the principles of mindfulness and emotional intelligence, offering a framework to help clients understand, manage, and shift their emotional responses in a healthier, more balanced way. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, frustration, or emotional overwhelm, Emotional Surfing offers a tailored approach to regain emotional balance and promote lasting healing.


With the high demands and unique pressures faced by residents of Los Angeles, Emotional Surfing can be an invaluable tool for those seeking to maintain their mental and emotional well-being while navigating the complexities of daily life. In this service page, you will learn how Emotional Surfing can benefit you, the various ways I integrate this approach, and how it can help you achieve emotional freedom.

Benefits of Emotional Surfing

Gain Emotional Mastery

In the bustling environments of neighborhoods like Santa Monica, West Hollywood, and Downtown Los Angeles, emotions can quickly spiral out of control. Emotional Surfing teaches individuals how to detach from overwhelming feelings and observe them objectively. By learning to recognize emotions as temporary experiences, you can respond with clarity rather than reacting impulsively.

Increase Emotional Resilience

Los Angeles is a city of high competition and fast-moving career landscapes, whether in tech, entertainment, or other industries. This constant pressure can lead to burnout, stress, or emotional fatigue. Emotional Surfing helps individuals build resilience by teaching coping mechanisms for stress and emotional overload, allowing you to handle tough situations with poise and mental strength.

Improve Self-Compassion and Acceptance

People in Los Angeles often deal with high societal expectations regarding appearance, success, and social image. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy or low self-esteem. Through Emotional Surfing, individuals learn to approach themselves with greater self-compassion and acceptance, which fosters a healthier self-image and reduces self-criticism.

Strengthen Relationships

In Los Angeles, relationships—whether personal or professional—are essential, but they can also be challenging to navigate due to high expectations and stressors. Emotional Surfing can help you communicate more effectively, manage conflicts with ease, and approach relationships from a place of empathy and understanding, leading to deeper connections and healthier interactions.

Release Negative Emotional Patterns

Living in a city where fast-paced living often causes emotional turbulence, many individuals find themselves stuck in unhealthy emotional patterns. Emotional Surfing helps to identify and release these negative patterns, creating lasting emotional shifts and providing you with tools to remain emotionally balanced in everyday life.

Achieve Greater Peace and Clarity

In the dynamic lifestyle of Los Angeles, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by daily demands. By practicing Emotional Surfing, individuals can achieve a sense of calm, mental clarity, and emotional peace, helping them stay focused and present in their personal and professional lives.

Hadar, with her calm and judgement free approach, has created a truly transformative (and still ongoing) experience for me. She takes her time and makes sure she understands entirely what needs her attention in each session and then, in the most loving empathetic way, leads you to where your mind needs tending to. She is seriously gifted and I appreciate everything she’s done for me.
