The Benefits Of Learning Self-Hypnosis and Auto-Suggestion




In my practice as a Hypnotherapist, I often emphasise the power of self-hypnosis and auto-suggestion. These techniques are not just tools for relaxation; they can significantly enhance your mental and emotional well-being. Understanding the benefits of learning self-hypnosis and auto-suggestion can help you take charge of your life and improve your overall quality of life.

Stress Reduction and Relaxation

One of the most immediate benefits of self-hypnosis is its ability to improve relaxation. In our fast-paced lives, stress can become overwhelming. Self-hypnosis allows you to relax in a focused way, helping to reduce stress and tension. This can lead to improved mental clarity and emotional stability, making it easier to handle daily challenges.


Enhanced Focus and Concentration

Learning self-hypnosis can improve your ability to concentrate. By training your mind to focus on specific suggestions or goals, you can enhance your productivity and attention span. This is particularly beneficial for students or professionals looking to improve performance in their studies or work.


Behaviour Modification

Self-hypnosis is an effective tool for changing unwanted behaviours. Auto-suggestion can help reinforce positive changes. Using suggestions and visualisations, you can reshape your thoughts and behaviours, making lasting changes more achievable.


Improved Sleep Quality

Many people struggle with sleep issues, often due to stress or racing thoughts. Self-hypnosis can help promote better sleep by calming the mind and preparing the body for rest. Techniques like guided imagery or progressive relaxation can be particularly effective, helping you drift off to sleep more easily and enjoy deeper, more restorative sleep.


Enhanced Creativity and Problem-Solving

Many artists, writers, and innovators use self-hypnosis to tap into their creative potential. By quieting the critical voice of the conscious mind, you can explore new ideas and perspectives, enhancing your problem-solving abilities.


Empowerment and Self-Confidence

Learning self-hypnosis empowers you to take control of your thoughts and feelings. As you practice, you gain confidence in your ability to influence your mind and body positively. This can extend to various areas of your life, helping you approach challenges with greater self-assurance.


Accessible and Convenient

One of the best aspects of self-hypnosis is that it is a skill you can develop and practice anywhere. With just a few minutes of dedicated time, you can engage in self-hypnosis to reduce stress, improve focus, or reinforce positive suggestions. This accessibility makes it a valuable tool for anyone, regardless of their schedule.



Incorporating self-hypnosis and auto-suggestion into your daily routine can lead to profound benefits for your mental and emotional well-being. Whether you seek to reduce stress, modify behaviours, or enhance your overall quality of life, these techniques offer practical solutions. By learning to harness the power of your mind, you can create positive change and foster a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Getting a Better Nights Sleep - The 3 Week Challenge: Principle One

Image
It all began a month or so before lockdown when I noticed how many sleep aids there were in the chemist.  That same week I had four people contact me for help with sleep problems.  This made me ask myself: “What does psychological research and Hypnotherapy tell us about getting a good nights sleep?” A positive psychological approach focuses on what makes people healthy rather than unhealthy. Instead of looking at the behaviour of someone who is struggling to get a good nights sleep, we should focus on the person who frequently sleeps well. How is the behaviour different? Can we copy it? I began teaching people to use these psychological techniques alongside Hypnosis to nudge their sleep pattern. I was pleased to see the differences that could be made…but more people are needed to really see how effective it could be. Fancy a challenge? You need to apply the principles for the next three weeks and review the changes to your to sleep.  Each princip...

Hypnosis Explained

Image
    If you are hoping to read that Hypnosis is a magical, mystical, controlling power that can make people behave in ways they choose not to, then you are certainly going to be disappointed. Any assumption that a person is asleep or unconscious is also not the case.  So have you ever experienced Hypnosis? Think back over the last 24 hours…. When you woke up this morning, do you remember that half-awake half-asleep feeling? On that commute to work, perhaps you drifted into auto-pilot and as you were driving along? Perhaps your mind drifted to the things you had to do.  You could be forgiven for thinking that you were daydreaming. Tonight, just as you drift off to sleep you are very likely to experience that same half-awake half-asleep feeling. Every one of those experiences could be given the name Hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural state we all experience many times throughout the day. It is as much part of our lives as breathing. The idea of being under the control of ...

Imposter Syndrome: Do you sometimes feeling like a fraud?

Image
  One behaviour people experience from one time or another is being an imposter; the feeling that they might get ‘caught’ out for not being as good at what they do as people assume they are. Imposter syndrome is where an individual doubts their accomplishments and abilities and these are converted into a fear of being exposed as a fraud. Interestingly, this still happens when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.  What do you attribute your successes to? Unjustified feelings of being an imposter are an attribution bias. It is a tendency to attribute successes to luck or poor judgment on the part of others’. In a self-deprecating way, the assumption is that they are ‘just getting by’ and if others saw the real them then they would less than impressed. When we feel this kind of imposter syndrome, we failing to have any internal acknowledgment of our own achievements, something which is characteristic of those suffering from anxiety, and unsurprisingly, low self-estee...
