Evidence-based hypnosis for sleep, calm and focus
Evidence-based hypnosis for sleep, calm and focus
When can hypnosis help you?
It can be effective for improving sleep, deep relaxation, weight management, public speaking, and more—like reducing anxiety, increasing focus, or overcoming certain fears or habits. We understand that hypnosis is often seen as something mysterious or even magical. But in reality, it’s an evidence-based practice that can be both powerful and practical. And no, it’s not about losing consciousness—you’ll actually be fully aware and in control the entire time. Hypnosis is simply a useful tool to help you make meaningful, positive changes in your life.
Clinical hypnosis is a therapeutic technique that involves guiding a person into a deeply relaxed, focused state where they are more open to positive suggestions and change. When combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), hypnosis can enhance the process by helping clients access their subconscious mind and reframe negative thought patterns, facilitating long-lasting behavioral change. If you are already in counseling or psychotherapy, you can add hypnosis to your treatment at no additional cost. It’s simply an addition to your current therapy. Some of you may feel that it’s not for you, and that’s completely fine. However, for those of you who feel that it could be helpful, hypnosis can enhance your therapeutic goals and offer a powerful way to achieve them.
Yes, clinical hypnosis is a safe therapeutic tool when performed by a trained and licensed professional. It’s not the same as the stage hypnosis you might see in entertainment. In therapy, the goal is to help you relax and make positive changes, and you are always in control of the process. These therapeutic techniques are grounded in evidence, with studies validating their potential to improve overall well-being and support lasting behavioral change.
No, you will not lose control during hypnosis. You remain fully aware of your surroundings and in control of your actions. The therapist helps guide you into a relaxed state, but you cannot be made to do anything against your will. The process is about facilitating positive changes, not controlling you. Besides that, before each hypnosis session, we will provide you with all the information about what will happen.
Clinical hypnosis combined with CBT is effective for a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress management, insomnia, phobias, and overcoming negative habits (e.g., smoking). It can also help with pain management and improving self-esteem, among other concerns.
During hypnosis, you may feel deeply relaxed and focused, almost like a daydream or trance-like state. You will be aware of your surroundings, but your mind will be more open to positive suggestions and insights. It’s a calm and peaceful experience.
The suggestions for relaxation will come from us, but the ideas on how to improve what you want to work on in your life will come from YOU. It will be a collaborative process, so don’t worry – you will remain in full control.
