“Will you make me cluck like a chicken?” Just one of the many questions I often get asked. Here I share with you what hypnotherapy with me is really like and help debunk some of those myths that might be swirling around in your head right now. Oh, and the answer is ‘no’, by the way.
At the bottom of this page you will find a list of the many areas I work with in respect to hypnotherapy, from smoking cessation to overcoming stress and anxiety.
What is Hypnosis?
It’s not like what you see in the movies. Hypnosis is a completely natural state that most people fall into almost every day. For example, when you drive a regular journey you may sometimes arrive at your destination largely unaware of your trip. That is because your conscious mind has been thinking about other things and in the meantime, you have driven flawlessly. Your subconscious knows everything, including your journey and how to navigate you safely to your destination. Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness where you are awake and aware.
Hypnosis is a natural state of selective, focused attention, and, even though it is 100% natural and normal, it remains one of the most fascinating phenomena of the human mind. Our ability to enter this unique state of consciousness opens the door to countless possibilities for healing, self-exploration and change. Hypnosis, called by different names in different cultures and times, has been recognised for thousands of years and used for many purposes.
When you enter into the absorbed state of hypnosis, you can use your thoughts, talents and experiences in ways not usually available to you. With my guidance, you can develop innate, individual abilities that enable making desired changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviours possible. For reasons that are as yet not clear, the focused state of hypnosis allows changes to intentionally be made “automatically”, changes that we could not ordinarily consciously make. I use hypnosis in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, stress, habit disorders, and many other psychological and medical problems.
Can Anyone be Hypnotised?
Some people find it easier to relax than others. By the same token, some people are able to go into trance more quickly and more deeply than others. About 85% of people can go into at least a light trance. For most therapeutic goals, light trance is enough to enable almost everyone to benefit from hypnotherapy to some extent.
What’s the Difference Between Clinical Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis?
My diploma is in Clinical Hypnotherapy, which is hypnosis with all the trimmings. I am experienced in working across a vast range of areas including smoking cessation, weight loss and stress relief, as well as more complex topics such as trance work, hypnotic pain management, mind-body issues, and more. Scroll to the bottom of this page for a full list.
I Don’t Think I was Hypnotised – I Heard Every Word you Said!
Some people don’t believe that they were hypnotised at all. This likely comes from misconceptions about just what a ‘trance’ really is. There are differences between the brain waves of people who are asleep and those who are in trance. In practice, you will find that you can talk with the hypnotist, ask and answer questions, hear everything that is said very clearly, and are perfectly well aware.
Will I Lose Control of Myself?
No, there is no loss of control. Hypnosis allows you to be more focused and less distractible and more skilful in using your own mental abilities constructively. Hypnosis is a way of giving yourself what you want and to stop working at cross-purposes with yourself, the end result of the session is you have more control of yourself than ever before.
Can I Get Stuck or Trapped in the Hypnotic State?
No. At any time a client can re-alert or choose to ignore suggestions. No one stays hypnotised indefinitely – you will always come out of trance within a short time.
Will Hypnosis Make me Remember Things Accurately?
No. Hypnosis can improve our recall of events that we believe happened to us. But hypnosis is not a way to find out the truth (whatever that may be) about events that are in dispute. That is, under hypnosis you may re-experience events, but there is no guarantee that you are remembering them correctly. Hypnosis only assists the subject in recalling perceptions, not truths.
How do you Make These Changes in Me?
Actually, you make all the changes. In the final analysis, people heal themselves. I just lead you into a state and walk you through processes to help you help yourself.
Areas I can help you with include:
- Smoking cessation
- Weight management
- Overcoming irrational or excessive fears, worries, flashbacks, panicky feelings, or aversions
- Reducing stress, get stress-related problems under control, become more relaxed and more effective
- Overcoming bad habits of all kinds
- Developing good habits
- Insomnia, whether going to sleep or staying asleep
- Achieving better concentration, study habits, and time management
- Overcoming sexual problems such as impotence, lack of desire, “too soon,” “not at all,” and so on
- Improving athletic performance
- Controlling pain
- Overcoming anger, shame, guilt, self-blame, sadness, hopelessness, frustration, negativity, and irritability
- Overcoming sadness, depressed mood, difficulty concentrating, and mood swings
- Overcoming feelings of disconnectedness, numbness, or agitation
- Retrieving lost objects
- Overcoming the effects of mind games and being controlled by others
- Overcoming the effects of trauma and abuse
Some of the positives of hypnotherapy are:
- The power to change or replace negative patterns, thoughts, and habits with new positive beliefs and patterns such as addictions
- Developing a deep sense of calm and relaxation not unlike meditation
- Helps you to awaken and connect with the greater potentials of your mind
- Understanding more about your inner programming
- Opens up a way for new perspectives and awareness
- Empowers and energises you into new life directions
Debunking the Myths of Hypnotism
Myth #1: The Hypnotist will be able to control my mind.
Fact:No one can control your mind, unless you let them. Your Hypnotherapist will give you suggestions that you want to be given, based on the Pre-Hypnotic Interview. At no point during your session will you lose control of your mind. If you hear a suggestion that you don’t agree with, or don’t understand, your subconscious mind will automatically reject it.
Myth #2: I will be made to perform embarrassing acts, such as bark like a dog, or walk like a duck.
Fact: This assumption is based on Stage Hypnotism and Hollywood fiction. The truth is, these people volunteer to act on stage, and thy allow themselves to participate in silly suggestions. Hypnotherapy is a serious process of self-improvement, not entertainment.
Myth #3: Hypnosis is “Supernatural”.
Fact: Hypnosis is a natural state that has been studied scientifically. Hypnotherapy is based on many years of clinical research by famous Psychologists such as Dr. Sigmund Freud and Dr. Carl Jung, and more recently, by Dr. Milton Erikson and Dr. John Kappas.
Myth #4: If I become Hypnotised, I may not be able to snap out of it.
Fact: Hypnosis is very safe and is in fact, a state of hyper-awareness. Any time there is an emergency, a person would naturally be able to come out of the Hypnotic state by opening their eyes, and stretching or speaking.
Myth #5: I have never been in Hypnosis before.
Fact: Every person naturally enters a state of hypnosis at least twice everyday: just before falling asleep at night, and upon awaking every morning, before getting out of bed. Most people easily enter ‘Environmental Hypnosis’ while at the movies, watching TV, driving on the highway, or while reading a good book.
Myth #6: Hypnosis is a “Miracle Cure”.
Fact: While Hypnosis is a relatively quick method of making permanent improvements, there is no such thing as a one-time “Hypno-Miracle”! Every individual makes progress at his or her own rate.
Myth #7: Hypnosis is a great tool to get someone to “confess”.
Fact: Hypnotherapy sessions are kept private and cannot be used for court testimony. It is not an alternative to lie detector tests. Hypnosis cannot force anyone to “tell the truth” or to confess.
Myth #8: When Hypnotised, I will lose all sense of my surroundings, and will have no memory of the session.
Fact: Hypnosis is not an unconscious state of sleep. In fact, most people report having a heightened sense of awareness, concentration and focus, and can even hear more acutely during a session.
Myth #9: Self-Hypnosis is safer, better, or more effective than going to a trained professional.
Fact: Self-Hypnosis can be detrimental when not taught by a trained professional, as a negative attitude or belief about oneself will be reinforced regardless of suggestions given. This can cause more stress and problems in the long run. Hypnotherapy directly accesses the subconscious mind, while Self-Hypnosis cannot.
Myth #10: I can’t be hypnotised because my mind is too strong/ disciplined.
Fact: This is an archaic belief that has, in recent times, been proven untrue. It was thought, long ago, that only 50% of the population could be hypnotised. Over the last 30 years, Dr. John Kappas developed methods to induce hypnosis in 100% of the population. During your first session, we utilize Dr. Kappas’ methods, and will be able to determine what type of suggestibility you have, and hence, how to Hypnotise you. Because it is your decision to use Hypnosis for self-improvement, your mind has already accepted the idea of Hypnotherapy.
Myth #11: If I can be hypnotised easily this means I am weak.
Fact: Being hypnotised relies upon a relaxed state of mind not a strong or weak mind. A relaxed state of mind is about strength of mind not weakness. Allowing a hypnotic process to work with the subconscious takes more strength than weakness, just as re-programing old habits and negative thoughts relies upon a strong mind.
Myth #12: The Hypnotist will swing a watch or pendulum hypnotise me.
Fact: Back to the Stage Hypnotherapists, and we find someone who may use this type of prop, possibly hypnotherapists of days of old as well. These days Hypnotherapists stray from this type of performance (for performance is just what it is.) However, in saying that, in times past when this type of method was used it was used by some as a focus point. These days a trained therapist will use music, sounds of nature or a script to bring you into a state of relaxation.

Apart from learning how things within the chakra actually can get imbalanced and how to attend to that, I also came away with a sure list of things to be on the outlook for. Marlene was very patient with each of our queries and I do not think any one of us came away with any questions unanswered. And I will add that the day went by peacefully it didn't feel like I was working (or learning in this case). On the contrary it gave me the space to reconnect with myself. I would recommend this workshop to all I know. and look forward to more sessions with Marlene.

Her warmth and compassion immediately made me feel that I was in a safe pair of hands.

True to her tagline as a mind, body and spirit coach; not only have I benefitted from her reflexology skills, she has also been a comforting ear, friend and guide as I deal with my personal health issues.Marlene's passion comes through in what she does, and she really is a seasoned professional in skills alongside her great scientific knowledge coming from her previous career both within healthcare and traditional chinese medicine/acupuncture. She is very down to earth/not scientific at all, it is only when you ask you realise how much she understands which is great for someone scientific like me. She also knows a lot of people in the health and holistic community which is very useful at times.Her practice room is very welcoming and as you step in you feel your stress disappears and you walk out feeling all new. It is very clean and inviting, and there's always parking.I have yet to try Marlene's other services but if you are thinking of considering any of her services, I would say don't think and just call her. It definitely is worth it. read less

As a man I think I don't need help and that I can figure it out myself, but I got to the point where I did need someone.Traditional approach of just talking is ineffective for me and I knew I needed to find someone who could really help me and quickly and by chance or good fortune I found Marlene.With an open mind I have managed to deal with everything I needed in just the three times I saw her. She is exceedingly good at honing in on the issue which is very helpful because it means you don't waste time and energy and you come to a solution and therefore a better place much quicker.You also get a practical set of tools to help yourself and I found the whole experience truly transformational and because of the progress also quite enjoyable.She equips you to move forward!Her room is a good space to be in and Marlene is a wonderful and easy person to be with.

She helped me unpack everything behind why I am the way I am, which led to a far deeper understanding of myself and others than I’ve ever had. As a man I’ve found it’s often hard to express my emotions or even accept them and Marlene helped develop this acceptance. Her encyclopaedic knowledge and ability to ‘read’ me and my challenges, developed an incredible level of trust. I am a far happier and less anxious person for having worked with her. read less
