What Happens During a Hypnotherapy Session?

Admin • April 3, 2024

We can only speak for ourselves, so this is an outline of what happens when you seek help here. 


Embarking on a hypnotherapy session is akin to being gently led on a journey within your own psyche, where the destination is healing and personal growth. Hypno Healing Hub delves into this soothing process that combines the transformative power of Ericksonian hypnotherapy with the practical problem-solving approach of Jay Haley's strategic psychotherapy.


Initially, your hypnotherapist will create a serene and supportive environment, a sanctuary where you can leave the outside world behind. Once settled, the actual process begins not with a descent into the unconscious but with a warm conversation, exploring your desires for change and what brings you to seek hypnotherapy.


Building on this conversational foundation, the hypnotherapist guides you into a relaxed state. This isn't a loss of control or awareness, but rather a heightened state of focused attention. Imagine it as allowing the busy, critical mind to take a break, while the more powerful, subconscious mind is given the floor to express itself and be receptive to positive change.

Using Ericksonian techniques, your therapist might use metaphors or stories to resonate with your experiences, indirectly addressing the issues and facilitating change. The beauty of these methods is their subtlety and respect for your individuality, ensuring your personal narrative drives the session.


Strategic psychotherapy plays its part by introducing concrete tools and strategies to tackle specific problems. This approach is less about unraveling the past and more about constructing a clear path forward.


As you progress through the session, your hypnotherapist may suggest visualizations or affirmations tailored to your objectives. Overlaying this process could be the aromatic enhancement of pure essential oils to deepen relaxation and stimulate the senses, supporting the therapeutic work done within the session.


The session gently concludes as you are brought back to full consciousness, with most individuals reporting feeling refreshed, calm, and often empowered. A sense of clarity can emerge, equipping you for actionable change outside the comfort of the therapy space. With just three to six sessions, many people discover profound transformations and an enriched outlook on life.



Throughout the entire process, you remain in control. Hypnotherapy with Hypno Healing Hub is a collaboration, a natural and medication-free way to harness your inner strength and find relief from the burdens weighing down your mental and emotional well-being.

Overcoming Anxiety Naturally with Strategic Psychotherapy

By Admin • March 27, 2024
Anxiety can often feel like a relentless companion, one that undermines our daily peace and impedes the joy of living. However, personal transformation is within reach through the use of Strategic Psychotherapy, a treatment forged from the insightful work of Jay Hayley. This approach is particularly powerful for individuals seeking to conquer their anxiety without endlessly delving into the past. Strategic Psychotherapy stands apart by placing emphasis on action over insight. Rather than waiting for the client to unearth deep insights through prolonged exploration of their history, it actively guides them towards recognizing their role in sustaining their anxious feelings. The therapist crafts a personalized game plan, shining a light on the habits and gaps in understanding that lock clients into an anxious state. In this role, the therapist serves not just as a facilitator but as a strategist. They take charge, steering the session in a direction that maximizes the individual's inherent strengths to tackle anxiety. The therapist’s goal is to lead the client out of the labyrinth of anxiety with precise, deliberate steps. It is this dedication to brief and targeted therapy that makes Strategic Psychotherapy an ideal ally in the fight against anxiety. What makes Strategic Psychotherapy an even more compelling option for those wrestling with anxiety is its concise nature. It is designed to provide relief not over a span of many months, but within a limited number of sessions. This short-term treatment framework respects the client's time and desire for change, allowing for a quicker return to a more tranquil and fulfilling life. In concert with hypnosis, Strategic Psychotherapy can accomplish even more. Hypnosis can relax the conscious mind and allow for the absorption of new, positive strategies at a subconscious level. Together, they form a robust toolkit, addressing the conscious decisions and subconscious patterns that contribute to anxiety.  For someone who has been buffeted by the unrelenting waves of anxiety, Strategic Psychotherapy offers a lifeline. It's an approach that melds the therapist’s expertise with the client's lived experience, producing a tailored battle plan to vanquish anxiety. Individuals can stride confidently towards a life liberated from the shackles of anxiety, equipped not just with new insights, but with actionable strategies that foster enduring change.

Hypnotherapy Overview - Gordian Pillars of Strategic Psychotherapy

By Admin • March 27, 2024
Strategic psychotherapy is an approach that has been honed over more than a decade of clinical application, helping clients navigate a spectrum of challenges, from anxiety and addiction to procrastination and polarized thinking. The Gordian Pillars are conceptual frameworks that uphold the problems clients face, much like architectural columns support a structure. When we refer to these underlying issues as "problems," we're casting a wide net over conditions that engulf many aspects of mental and emotional wellbeing. These range from clinical concerns such as anxiety and depression to behavioral patterns including procrastination and all-or-nothing thinking. Each of these pillars, or entrenched patterns, requires meticulous examination and strategic intervention. The term Gordian in the Gordian Pillars draws from the ancient tale of the Gordian knot, a symbol of a seemingly unsolvable problem that was ingeniously overcome. In the context of strategic psychotherapy, the Gordian metaphor illuminates the complex, intertwined nature of the issues at hand. Our role as therapists is to skillfully navigate these convoluted patterns and gently unravel them. This systematic guide is designed to help therapists apply methods that cut through the knotted patterns sustaining a client's difficulties. By identifying the cognitive and behavioural supports of the problem, therapists can then intervene strategically, encouraging the unfolding of new, healthier patterns, and ultimately leading to the resolution of the client's presenting issues. The goal is to empower clients, granting them the tools and strategies necessary to untangle the knots of their experiences and forge a path towards wellness and change. In this way, strategic psychotherapy aligns with the broader aims of our practice at the Hypno Healing Hub, where we blend hypnotherapy and the healing gifts of pure essential oils with our commitment to natural, low-tox living. Through this harmonized approach, we're dedicated to transforming lives and guiding clients from where they are to where they want to be, without excessive reliance on medication. Understanding and addressing the Gordian Pillars within each client's unique context enables us to provide effective, efficient, and life-changing therapy. It's about creating a safe, supportive, and relaxing environment where change is not only possible but imminent. This philosophy is central to our ethos at the Hypno Healing Hub, where hypnotherapy is not just an alternative but a viable pathway to wellness grounded in the innate power of the individual and the nurturing essence of nature itself.

Treat Anxiety with Hypnotherapy: Effective, Natural Relief

By Admin • March 27, 2024
While anxiety impacts countless individuals, discerning the nuances between our thoughts, feelings, and the situations we encounter, is often challenging. Understanding the distinctions - such as what to listen to or ignore, what we can control versus what's out of our hands, and delineating responsibilities - can be overwhelming.  The journey to relief does not always require medication. Hypno Healing Hub offers a beacon of hope, leveraging the transformative power of hypnotherapy and strategic psychotherapy to guide clients towards a calmer, more centred existence. We don't rummage through your past but focus on propelling you from where you are to where you aim to be. Hypnotherapy presents a calm approach to sorting through life's quandaries. It provides a compass for navigating decisions between the probable and the possible, deciphering what's worth our energy, and recognizing who we can trust. Through hypnotherapy, clients learn to identify when confrontation is necessary or when avoidance may protect their peace. Our strategic psychotherapy works in harmony with hypnotherapy, offering new strategies in decision making. From determining when to let go or hold on, to striking a balance between self-care and selfishness, the approach is personalized. It even assists in understanding when our analysis is helpful versus when it tips into the excess, and how to differentiate between what is a personal attack and what merely affects us personally. Hypnotherapy empowers individuals to form a stronger connection with their intuition, arming them with the confidence to trust their gut while also providing the discernment to know when caution is warranted. It aids in setting realistic expectations, differentiating between what requires firm boundaries and what calls for flexibility. At Hypno Healing Hub, we believe in merging nature's gifts with therapeutic practices, integrating pure essential oils to enhance the healing experience. Our sessions offer a low-tox detoxing alternative to traditional medicine, ambushing anxiety in a safe, supportive space where rapid results are the norm. It's time to replace misconceptions about mind control with the truth: hypnotherapy is a voluntary state of focused relaxation, an ally in your fight against life's overwhelming forces. Embrace the natural, efficient path to well-being. Hypnotherapy is not the last resort - it's the proactive, empowering choice toward lasting change. Are you ready to reclaim control and redefine your life's path? Let yourself discover how Hypno Healing Hub can illuminate the journey to the life of freedom you deserve, and Thrive on Your Terms.
