About Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes hypnosis to induce a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration in patients¹³. This altered state of consciousness allows individuals to become more open to suggestions, facilitating changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors³. Hypnotherapy works by communicating with the subconscious mind, which is responsible for many of our thought processes and behaviors¹.

About Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)

Neurolinguistic Programming, developed in the 1970s, is a complementary approach that examines how our thoughts affect our behavior². At Hypno4Life, we incorporate NLP techniques into our practice to enhance communication with clients and help them communicate more effectively with themselves⁶. The combination of hypnotherapy and NLP can be particularly powerful in addressing various issues:

Anxiety and Stress: Both hypnotherapy and NLP techniques can help reduce anxiety levels and manage stress-related conditions¹².
Phobias: NLP and hypnotherapy are often used in treating phobias, with NLP focusing on changing thought patterns and hypnotherapy accessing the subconscious to rewrite fear responses²⁴.
Habit Changes: Hypnotherapy can be effective in modifying unwanted habits by suggesting new patterns to the subconscious mind¹.
Personal Development: NLP techniques are useful for building skills such as public speaking, sales, negotiation, and leadership².

What happens during a hypnotherapy session:

A typical hypnotherapy session is a collaborative process in which we help you achieve your goals through focused relaxation and suggestion. It begins with a 10-15 minute consultation to discuss goals, medical history, and concerns. We will then guide you into a deep relaxation state using techniques like progressive relaxation, visualization, and focused breathing. In this state, we’ll use tailored techniques, such as direct suggestions and guided imagery, to address the your goals. The session concludes with a gentle awakening. Sessions typically last 45-50 minutes, with most people seeing results within 3-4 sessions. Throughout the process, you remain in control. As therapists, we act as a guide to access the subconscious mind for beneficial change.

Hypnotherapy and its scientific status

While many practitioners and clients report positive outcomes from hypnotherapy and NLP, it's important to note that scientific evidence supporting their efficacy is limited, and some researchers consider NLP to be pseudoscientific⁸. We’ve shared a list of articles below, that give an overview of different viewpoints towards this practice. In some countries hypnotherapy is officially recognized and covered by health insurers for treating addictions or anxieties. While in others, it could be outlawed for treating medical conditions.

As with any therapeutic approach, you should do your own research which approach seems the most suitable. In case of any medical conditions, always consult your doctor first.

For those interested in learning more about hypnotherapy and NLP, resources such as the Royal College of Psychiatrists³, Cleveland Clinic⁷, and reputable hypnotherapy directories⁶ offer additional background information and guidance, listed below.

Hussein says

A Magical Hypnotherapy Experience. I was very skeptical about hypnotherapy at first. The idea of being “put under” felt strange and hard to believe. But after just one session, I was amazed. Jorrit’s voice helped me relax deeply, and I felt completely in control the whole time. It wasn’t what I expected, it was calming and powerful. During the session, I uncovered emotions and blocks I didn’t even know were there. By the end, I felt lighter, clearer, and more at peace. It was a truly magical and transformative experience that I’m so glad I tried!
