For the first 48 years of my life, my only experience with hypnosis was a stage show at college.
The hypnotist told the participants they were in class. They sat looking straight ahead like they were listening to the professor.
Suddenly the hypnotist yelled BADGER! and pointed at the ground. And all the participants freaked out and jumped up on their chairs.
It was hilarious. But I didn’t exactly associate it with healing and empowerment.
It felt kind of coercive, to be honest.
When you think about hypnosis, what comes to mind? A bearded guy swinging a gold watch? A cult leader? 😵💫
If so, you’re not alone.
There are so many misconceptions out there.
Which is really a shame, because science suggests hypnosis is a fast and effective way to relieve stress and anxiety. It’s also great for pain management and behavior change.
I’ve personally undergone hypnosis to help with guilt, social anxiety, and a driving phobia. And the results feel like a miracle.
And as a life coach certified in hypnosis, I’ve seen this modality help clients change faster and with less struggle.
But don’t just take it from me!
On this week’s episode of the Climb Your Mountain podcast, I’m joined by the amazing Wella Jay. She’s a past client who came to me specifically for hypnosis.
In our conversation she opens up about her experiences with hypnocoaching. We dive into:
❇️ How clinical hypnosis (the one we do in coaching) actually empowers you to take control of your own healing
❇️ What to expect in a typical hypnosis session
❇️ Why hypnosis might work better for some people than traditional “talking” methods of coaching
❇️ Debunking common myths, e.g. that it’s a form of mind control or manipulation
❇️ How hypnosis changed how we see life and ourselves (there’s definitely a spiritual benefit)
❇️ Our own experiences and results in hypnotherapy — and how it sometimes surprised us with “bonus” healing we weren’t even looking for
If you’re curious about hypnosis …
If you’ve thought about coaching, but dislike the idea of talking about yourself or answering lots of questions …
This one is definitely for you!
Enjoy! ❤️
