Meeting Your Higher Self: What the QHHT Dialogue Can Be Like

By Estela Sasson · October 22, 2026 · 2 min read

In QHHT, the conversation with your Higher Self is often the part people remember longest. Here is what that dialogue is, and what people describe.

What practitioners mean by Higher Self

In QHHT, developed by Dolores Cannon, the Higher Self refers to a wiser, calmer aspect of your own awareness, one that seems to hold a wider view of your life than the everyday mind does. It is not a claim about anything outside you, and you do not need a belief system to work with it.

Practitioners describe it as a part of you that is not frightened by your questions, one that has watched you get through difficult years and therefore speaks without alarm. Whether you understand that literally or symbolically, it is usually the experience of being answered from that place that stays with people.

How the dialogue begins

Before the regression, we build a list of your questions together, about your relationships, your patterns, your fears, your sense of direction. During the session, in a deep state of hypnosis, those questions are asked and answers are allowed to arrive in whatever form they take.

Sometimes the answers come as words. Sometimes as images, as a knowing that simply appears, or as a feeling of being shown something. My job is to stay beside you, keep you comfortable, and help you notice and describe what is coming through.

What people describe

The most common word is tenderness. People often say the answers felt patient, without judgement, and occasionally gently funny. Many describe a sense of being known, which can be moving, especially for those who have spent a long time explaining themselves to others.

Some sessions bring surprisingly practical answers: a decision that becomes obvious, a pattern that finally makes sense, a permission to stop carrying something. Not everything arrives as a revelation, and that is as it should be.

Coming back to your day

Afterwards we talk through what came through, and I help you find what is usable in ordinary life. Your session is recorded and emailed to you, and many people listen again in the following weeks, finding something new in it each time.

A gentle reminder

QHHT is a process of self-exploration. It is not an established medical or psychological treatment, and it is not proof of anything. It does not replace the care you receive from a doctor or therapist, and I am glad to talk with you about how it might sit alongside that care.
