The Power of Hypnosis: Transforming Minds, Changing Lives
When I had no idea what I was doing with it, hypnosis—yes, the H word—helped me overcome chronic anxiety, a stammer, depression, and low self-confidence.
It gave me the belief that I didn’t have to accept a “disability” label and that I could take control of my life.
Hypnosis helped me launch my first business, step up as a DJ, and even speak confidently in public. It showed me how to help thousands of people conquer anxiety, depression, and self-sabotage. It’s helped clients improve relationships, feel more in control, and even boost their income.
So… why are so many people still afraid of the H word?
Misunderstood, Yet Incredibly Common
There are countless things we use daily that we don’t fully understand—like electricity. We know it can be dangerous, but we use it anyway because it makes life easier.
Hypnosis is the same. Most people don’t understand it—or they’ve been taught to fear it. But the truth is, we all use hypnosis every single day. Yes, even you.
Is hypnosis dangerous? Not at all.
Why Hypnosis Gets a Bad Rap
Let’s be honest—hypnosis has had a PR nightmare:
Movies paint it as mind control by evil geniuses.
Some religious groups label it “the work of the devil.”
Entertainers like Derren Brown have used it to shock and amuse us.
Stage hypnotists make it look like you're just one step away from clucking like a chicken.
But that’s not the truth about hypnosis—and it’s definitely not how it works when used for personal change.
What Hypnosis Really Is
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. You’ve been in it already today. Probably dozens of times.
Ever brushed your teeth while thinking about something completely different? That’s a trance.
Try brushing with your non-dominant hand and see how much more attention it takes—because now you’re out of that automatic (aka hypnotic) state.
Or think about driving. You hop in the car, arrive at work, and barely remember the journey. That’s “driving hypnosis.” Your unconscious took over. (Don’t worry—it’ll snap you out in an instant if something needs your attention.)
We all move into trance states when we watch TV, scroll social media, cook, eat, shower, and even parent.
Using Hypnosis for Change
Once you learn how to intentionally enter this state, you can reprogram your subconscious to change unhelpful habits, thoughts, and emotions.
Things like:
Anxiety
Depression
Stress
Addictions
Self-doubt
Limiting beliefs
All of these are programs your unconscious mind runs—on repeat. With hypnosis, you can change the script.
Example: Anxiety
Anxiety is your brain’s natural fight-or-flight system activating when it senses danger. But when that system misfires—over and over, with no real threat—it becomes a disorder.
Every time your mind reacts anxiously, it strengthens that neural pathway. Eventually, it runs on autopilot.
Through hypnosis, we can interrupt that pattern and install a new one—calm, confident, and in control. Instead of anxiety, your brain learns to default to peace.
The Best Ways to Use Hypnosis
Here are the three most effective approaches:
Work with a qualified hypnotherapist
A good therapist will help you uncover what’s driving the issue—and guide you through the process of change. Many clients see noticeable results in just a few sessions.Learn self-hypnosis
This is an empowering long-term tool that helps you shift patterns, habits, and beliefs on your own. It takes some practice, but it’s worth it.Do both
This is the gold standard. Working with a hypnotherapist and learning self-hypnosis creates rapid change and gives you lifelong tools to maintain it.
We encourage all our clients to learn self-hypnosis. It deepens their results, gives them independence, and helps them master their mindset daily.
Final Thoughts
Hypnosis isn’t magic. It’s not mind control. And it’s definitely not something to be feared. It’s a powerful, natural mental state you can use to create real, lasting change.
If you’ve struggled with stress, anxiety, limiting beliefs, or bad habits—hypnosis might be the tool you didn’t know you needed.
