Still picturing pocket watches and people clucking like chickens when you think of hypnosis? I totally get it – that's usually the first thing people ask me about when they find out I'm a hypnotherapist here in Brisbane.
Let me clear up what hypnosis actually is (spoiler alert: no mind control involved!). It's more like having a chat with the part of your brain that runs on autopilot – you know, the bit that controls your habits, stress responses, and those pesky thought patterns that keep you stuck.
Think of it as a gentle way to update your brain's software. Whether you're dealing with workplace anxiety, confidence issues, or even those lovely menopause symptoms that nobody really prepares you for, hypnosis works by helping your conscious and subconscious minds get on the same page.
The best part? You're completely in control the whole time. It's actually one of the most relaxing experiences you can have – like a cross between meditation and having a really good conversation with yourself.
Ready to discover why this ancient practice, now backed by modern science, might be exactly what you need to feel more like yourself again? Let's dive into what hypnosis can really do for you.

FantasiSing about walking into your boss's office, handing in your resignation, and never looking back? Trust me, I get it, when burnout hits, running feels like the only option that makes sense.
But here's something that might save you from making a decision you'll regret: most of the time, changing jobs doesn't actually fix burnout. I know that's probably not what you want to hear when you're lying awake at 3 AM dreaming of escape routes.
The thing is, if you're someone who can't say no, takes on too much, or ties your self-worth to your productivity, those patterns are going to follow you wherever you go. It's like moving to a new house because your current one is messy , if you don't change your habits, the new place will be just as chaotic within a few months.
