Most people think hypnosis means losing control - or clucking like a chicken on stage. But hypnosis is actually one of the most natural states your brain already cycles through every day. And when you learn to use that state intentionally, it becomes a powerful tool for rewiring the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck.
In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne clear up the myths, explain what's really happening in your brain during hypnosis, and show why it works when sheer willpower doesn't.
You'll learn:
✅ Why hypnosis is a natural trance state your brain already enters daily
✅ What's happening in your brainwaves during hypnosis (and why it matters)
✅ Why "I can't be hypnotised" is almost always a myth
✅ How secondary gain keeps people unconsciously holding onto problems
✅ The difference between direct suggestion hypnosis and Ericksonian hypnosis
✅ Real examples of how hypnosis helps with stress, confidence, habits, and pain
Whether you've doubted hypnosis, tried to "willpower" your way through change, or just want to make your brain your greatest ally, this episode will change the way you think about transformation.
