How Jennifer Aniston’s Hypnotist Boyfriend Helped Her ‘Heal’ and ‘Forgive’ Ex Brad Pitt (Exclusive)

Jennifer Aniston‘s boyfriend, Jim Curtis, has brought more growth to her life through hypnosis.

A source exclusively tells Star the Friends alum, 56, “has done a lot of work on herself over the years, but hypnosis is something that has really helped her go back and unpack feelings she thought she had already dealt with, especially when it comes to Brad [Pitt].”

The Morning Show star was, of course, married to Pitt, 62, from 2000 to 2005. Pitt struck up a romance with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie shortly after Aniston filed for divorce.

Hypnotist Curtis, 50, “has been such a great guide for her in all of this,” adds the source. “She credits him with teaching her how to do this and says she’s forever grateful.”

“She says hypnosis was the missing piece, that it helped unlock something in her subconscious that allowed her to completely shed that old story of herself as the victim, she’s been able to forgive Brad, too,” the insider explains.

According to the source, the Just Go With It actress “would be open to working with” the Fight Club actor on “the right project,” which highlights “how much she’s managed to heal” through hypnosis.

Curtis — who revealed on Today in January that he and Aniston have been dating “close to a year”— is a transformational coach, and explains his “signature, Hypno-Coaching approach” on his website.

“Jim guides you to uncover and release the subconscious blocks holding you back, rewire your inner programming, and awaken the truth of who you really are,” the website reads. “This isn’t just about positive thinking — it’s about deep, embodied transformation rooted in neuroscience, intuitive insight, and soul alignment.”
