Let’s clear something up straight away: you won’t find yourself clucking like a chicken or barking like a dog. Those antics might be entertaining on stage, but they do nothing to help someone struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or a smoking habit. Yet, thanks to TV, films, and stage hypnosis, many people’s first reaction when they hear “hypnotist” is: “Don’t look into his eyes!”
I get it. The idea that a hypnotist can take over your mind, make you dance like a puppet, or rob you of your free will has been drilled into us by pop culture. But here’s the truth: therapeutic hypnosis couldn’t be further from that myth.
Therapeutic hypnosis is all about empowerment, confidence, and creating positive, lasting change. It’s not about losing control; it’s about regaining it.
World Hypnotism Day: Setting the Record Straight
Since 2006, World Hypnotism Day, celebrated on 4th January, has been a chance to dispel the myths, banish the fear, and shine a light on the real power of hypnosis. It’s a day to show that hypnosis is a tool for transformation—not a parlour trick.
I work with a method called the Control System, a modern approach that doesn’t rely on traditional trance-based hypnosis. Instead, it taps directly into the subconscious to create rapid and permanent changes to the way you think, feel, and behave. No swinging pendulums, no magic words—just results.
Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s Andy’s story:
“Before I met Paul, I was a total sceptic about changing your thoughts and behaviour. I had a 10-year history of bad sleep with bad things waking me up. I’d start coughing and then be sick every morning. After one session, the sickness had stopped, and I was sleeping through the night. He’s changed my life!”
How to Find the Right Hypnotist
If you’re curious about hypnosis but don’t know where to start, here are a few tips to guide you:
– Rapport Matters: Feeling comfortable and building trust with your hypnotist is key. When you feel safe and relaxed, your mind is more open to change.
– Free Consultations: Look for someone who offers a free session. “Try before you buy” works here too. Understanding what to expect makes the whole process smoother and more focused.
– Be Honest and Clear: Share your goals and challenges openly. Hypnotists work with what you tell them, so clarity and honesty make all the difference.
– Keep it Realistic: Hypnosis can help you make amazing changes, but don’t expect to sprout wings or become the next Elon Musk overnight. You can, however, develop confidence like his and conquer your fear of flying!
– Check Their Credentials: Ensure they are trained, insured, and accredited. Genuine reviews from multiple sources can also provide peace of mind.
