How Hypnotherapy Works: A Step-by-Step Guide

At Bridge Your Mind Hypnotherapy and Counselling, we believe in empowering individuals to unlock their full potential through hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a powerful therapeutic tool that helps clients access their subconscious mind, facilitating positive changes in behavior, mindset, and well-being. But how does it work? Here’s a step-by-step guide to our approach at Bridge Your Mind.




The Power of Hypnotherapy – By the Numbers


Hypnotherapy is backed by science and has shown remarkable results:


  • 93% of participants reported positive changes after just six hypnotherapy sessions, compared to 38% with psychoanalysis and 72% with behavioral therapy (American Health Magazine).

  • Studies show hypnosis can increase the success rate of quitting smoking by up to 60%, compared to just 5% with willpower alone.

  • Hypnotherapy can reduce anxiety by 79%, according to a study published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.


Step 1: Understanding Hypnosis


Before beginning your journey, it's essential to understand what hypnosis is. Contrary to common myths, hypnosis is not mind control or unconsciousness. Instead, it is a deeply relaxed, focused state of awareness where the mind becomes more open to suggestions. In this state, the subconscious mind is more receptive to transformation and healing.


Step 2: Initial Consultation


At Bridge Your Mind, every session begins with an initial consultation. This is where our certified hypnotherapist, Kavita Kaur, discusses your goals, concerns, and any underlying issues you’d like to address. This session helps tailor the approach specifically to your needs, ensuring a safe and supportive environment.


Step 3: Induction Phase


Once the session begins, you will be guided into a state of deep relaxation using various techniques, such as deep breathing, guided imagery, or progressive muscle relaxation. This process, known as induction, helps quiet the conscious mind and allows the subconscious to become more receptive to positive suggestions.


Step 4: Deepening the Hypnotic State


To enhance relaxation, we use deepening techniques such as visualization, counting down, or repeated affirmations. As your focus deepens, your mind becomes highly responsive to the therapeutic process.


Step 5: Therapeutic Suggestions


At this stage, our hypnotherapist introduces carefully designed suggestions aligned with your personal goals. Whether it's overcoming anxiety, breaking free from unwanted habits, or boosting self-confidence, these positive affirmations and suggestions help reshape thought patterns at a subconscious level.


Step 6: Emerging from Hypnosis


After the therapeutic work is complete, you will be gently guided back to full awareness. This is a gradual process, ensuring that you feel refreshed, relaxed, and clear-headed after the session.


Step 7: Post-Hypnosis Discussion


Once the session concludes, we take the time to discuss your experience, insights, and any emotions that surfaced. We also provide additional recommendations and affirmations to reinforce the positive changes initiated during hypnosis.
