The method
What is DIT hypnotherapy?
Deep Integrative Therapy is hypnotherapy that finds and resolves the root cause of one problem in a single session. Developed by Karmen Jerković, practised by Draga in Amsterdam and online.
The idea behind DIT
Almost every stubborn problem, from anxiety to smoking to low self-confidence, started somewhere. A moment when you felt something and drew a conclusion about yourself or the world. That conclusion is stored in your subconscious and has been steering your reactions ever since, even though your rational mind knows better by now.
DIT assumes that you can find that moment again and still process it. Not by talking about it, but by looking at it afresh in a relaxed, focused state, with the knowledge and the strength you have now. The aim is that the recurring pattern no longer has to run once the old conclusion lets go.
The method was developed by Karmen Jerković, who describes her protocol and her results on her own website. Draga was certified by her in October 2026 and works according to the same protocol.

How the process unfolds
Free introductory call (15 minutes)
Phone or video, within 1 day of your message. You describe what is going on and which problem you want to tackle. Draga tells you whether DIT is suitable and what to expect. Only then do you book and pay.
The session (up to 3 hours)
Within 2 days of the intake, via Zoom or in Amsterdam. It starts with a conversation about your problem and your history. Then Draga guides you into a relaxed, focused state. Together you trace the origin of the problem, process what got stuck there, and finish with a new conclusion that is your own.
Personal recording (15 to 20 minutes)
Based on your session and your own words, Draga makes a hypnosis recording. You listen to it daily, preferably before sleep. The aim is for the change to settle into your everyday life that way.
At least 3 months of follow-up
Draga stays available via WhatsApp or email. You share how things are going, ask questions, and after 3 months you look back together.
A second session if it is needed
Have you listened to the recording, stayed in touch, and is there no change after 3 months? Then you get a second session at no cost.
What you feel during the session
You sit or lie comfortably with your eyes closed. You hear Draga's voice and you talk back; it is a conversation, not a monologue. The state resembles being absorbed in a book or a film: relaxed and at the same time sharply present. You are conscious throughout, you know where you are, and you can open your eyes at any moment.
Memories surface on their own. Sometimes clearly, sometimes as a feeling or an image. It can be emotional: sadness or anger from back then finally gets the room it needs. That is processing, and Draga guides you through it step by step. Afterwards you may feel tired, and often relieved as well.
Online, you do the session at home, alone in a quiet room, with earphones. In person, it takes place in the practice room in Amsterdam.
