What conditions are out of scope?

Clinical hypnotherapy may not be suitable for individuals who are experiencing severe mental health conditions, such as untreated schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, as well as those in acute psychological crises like severe depression. Additionally, individuals actively abusing substances may find it challenging to engage effectively in the process.

Those with significant cognitive impairments, such as advanced dementia, may not comprehend or participate adequately in clinical hypnosis. Furthermore, individuals resistant to change, harbouring fears or anxieties about hypnosis, or lacking interest in the process might not benefit from this approach.

It’s crucial to consult with a qualified hypnotherapist to determine whether clinical hypnotherapy is appropriate for your specific situation.

If hypnosis is so great, why isn’t everyone using it?

For those well-versed in hypnosis, the question of why it isn’t more widely utilised is indeed perplexing. In recent years Hypnosis is becoming more widely recognised with popular professors like Andrew Huberman, however even so, there are several barriers have hindered its broader acceptance and recognition:

1. Outdated Myths: Many people hold onto outdated beliefs about hypnosis, viewing it through a lens of misconceptions that discourage them from exploring its benefits. These stereotypes can create a significant barrier to entry.

2. Pathologising Common Issues: Many clinicians tend to classify common human challenges, such as anxiety and depression, as "diseases" that require biological treatment. This perspective can overshadow alternative therapeutic modalities, including hypnosis, which may offer valuable insights and relief.

3. Limited Exposure in Training: Unfortunately, hypnosis is often not included in the curriculum of clinical training programs, which means many future clinicians lack exposure to its robust empirical support and potential therapeutic benefits.

From my own experience, I can say that using hypnosis to treat the performance anxiety I was experiencing at the time was a game changer for me. Without that formative experience, I doubt I would have explored hypnosis through my academic studies. It is my hope that more academic programs and clinical training will incorporate hypnosis into their curriculum. In the meantime, I continue to learn more about the growing space.

Hypnosis has the potential to be an effective tool for many, and increasing awareness and education about it can help overcome these obstacles, allowing more individuals to benefit from its unique advantages in therapy.

Are Hypnosis Apps or other pre-recorded sessions effective?

Methods like recorded sessions, pre-recorded hypnosis can still offer some value. Where results can be compounded is when personalised, therapeutic sessions are recorded and can serve as a helpful complement to personalised therapy. This would provide ongoing motivation to stay focused on your goals and maintain proactive strategies for personal development.

While they may not replace the individualised attention of in-person therapy, hypnosis apps and recorded sessions can certainly enrich your journey toward personal growth and healing.

Is Hypnosis good for uncovering buried traumatic memories?

No, hypnosis is not a reliable method for enhancing or recovering memories, particularly traumatic ones. The mental health field learned significant lessons during the so-called “Memory Wars,” where many therapists mistakenly interpreted various symptoms as evidence of repressed childhood abuse.

Memory is inherently subjective and can be distorted, whether intentionally or unintentionally, through suggestive remarks. It's important to note that this distortion can occur without hypnosis, as human memory is vulnerable to inaccuracies. Powerful suggestions from someone perceived as credible, even without any intent to deceive, can lead individuals to believe in events that never actually occurred.

In some cases, this has escalated to extreme beliefs surrounding "past life" memories, which may feel authentic to those who experience them but are often a result of suggestion rather than factual accounts. For these reasons, relying on hypnosis to unearth buried traumatic memories can be problematic and potentially harmful.

Will I remember everything that happens during hypnosis?

Most people have a good memory of the session, although some may find certain details fade over time just like regular memories. This is normal and does not indicate a lack of effectiveness.
