Learn About Hypnotherapy

Discover how hypnotherapy works, why it’s effective, and how it can support deep, meaningful change.

What Is Hypnotherapy?

A gentle, powerful way to access the subconscious mind and create lasting change.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation to help you enter a naturally calm, focused state. In this state—often referred to as a “trance”—your subconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions, healing, and insight.

Contrary to popular myths, hypnotherapy is not mind control and you never lose awareness. You are always in control, and you can stop or adjust the process at any time. Most people describe the experience as deeply relaxing, peaceful, and empowering.

Why Hypnotherapy Is Effective

Change happens when we work with the subconscious mind — the part of you that stores habits, beliefs, patterns, and emotional responses.

Most challenges people experience—such as emotional eating, smoking, stress, anxiety, fears, sleep issues, or unwanted habits—are rooted in the subconscious mind. Willpower alone often doesn’t work because it uses only the conscious mind, which controls just a small portion of behavior.

Hypnotherapy bypasses conscious resistance and works directly with the deeper layers of the mind, allowing new patterns to form more quickly and naturally.

Many clients notice shifts within just a few sessions because the subconscious mind learns rapidly once it feels safe, supported, and open.

Science & Research

Hypnotherapy has been studied for decades and is supported by scientific research.

Barrios, Alfred A. – “Hypnotherapy: A Reappraisal”

This landmark analysis of over 1,000 studies found hypnotherapy to have a 93% success rate after just 6 sessions, compared to:

  • 38% success rate after 600 sessions of psychoanalysis
  • 72% success rate after 22 sessions of behavioral therapy

This research highlights how efficient subconscious work can be for resolving emotional, mental, and behavioral patterns.

Modern Neuroscience Findings

Brain imaging research shows that hypnosis creates measurable changes in:

  • The areas responsible for emotional regulation
  • The default mode network (self-judgment & overthinking)
  • Body–mind connection and pain perception

These findings help explain why hypnotherapy is effective for anxiety reduction, trauma processing, habit change, and pain management.
