IS HYPNOTHERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?

In short - when you are ready for change, you are ready for hypnotherapy!

‘No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.’ – Heraclitus -

Hypnosis combined with other techniques can help clear out unwanted deep-rooted views and behaviour. It can be a valuable tool for personal growth and can help you realign and refocus your habits and patterns. It’s not a one magic bullet for all though and it requires patience, commitment and a willingness to embrace change, even when it’s hard.

If you’ve tried traditional therapies or self-help techniques without seeing significant improvement, hypnotherapy might be worth exploring. Many people turn to hypnotherapy when other approaches haven’t worked. For example, if you’ve struggled with anxiety or weight management but haven’t found lasting relief, hypnotherapy may help you get to the root of the problem by addressing the subconscious drivers of your behaviors.

Set and Setting

From the moment we’re born, our bodies and minds are in a continuous state of evolution and change. These changes often happen so gradually that they go unnoticed by our senses. It’s only when we look back over time that we see the contrast between who we were and who we are now.

Change is the one constant in life, though we can never fully predict what it will look like or what experiences it will bring. Sometimes, the anticipation of change can lead to anxiety, while at other times, it can create a sense of liberation. How we respond to change often reflects how we approach life itself. If we view change with anxiety, stress, or fear, our lives can feel weighed down by those emotions. But when we approach change with excitement, curiosity, and courage, each new moment becomes an opportunity to explore and grow.

In this way, change becomes a beautiful gift—a chance for growth and transformation. By learning to experience change mindfully and with awareness, we realise it is the vehicle through which all of our experiences unfold. We are the ones steering the wheel of our karmic journey.

***“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.”*- Alan Watts -**

The Process

A great metaphor for this process is learning to swim. To truly float and move through water, we must surrender to its flow. Initially, this surrender might feel strange or counterintuitive, but the more we let go and trust the water to carry us, the more fluid and effortless our movements become. This same principle applies to hypnosis. It’s not about resisting the process, but rather about allowing yourself to flow with its rhythm. In this surrender, we find a quiet confidence that allows us to accept ourselves as we are and meet change with open arms—embracing it with a mix of anxiety, excitement, and curiosity.

"Hypnosis as a phenomenon is an act of trust in the self and the surroundings."

Commitment

Ultimately, deciding whether hypnotherapy is right for you comes down to whether you’re ready to embrace change in all its forms. Here are some questions that might help you reach your decision.

– Do you think you’re ready to put aside your limiting beliefs?
– Do you have a strong motivation to make positive change?
– Do you feel comfortable with the idea of deep relaxation and feel ready to focus on your own wellbeing ?
– Are you ready to use hypnotherapy to reach your potential?
