What is Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) combines two evidence-based disciplines: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and clinical hypnotherapy. CBT is one of the most researched psychological approaches in the world, it works by helping you identify the thought patterns and behaviours that keep you stuck, and replacing them with more constructive ones. Hypnotherapy deepens this process by working at a subconscious level, where habits and emotional responses are formed. Used together, CBT and hypnotherapy are more effective than either approach alone. CBT gives you the framework and skills to understand what’s driving your patterns. Hypnotherapy helps those new patterns take root faster and more deeply than conscious effort alone can achieve. The result is change that feels natural, not forced. |
If you’re picturing stage hypnosis, people clucking like chickens or revealing secrets, that’s not what this is. Clinical hypnotherapy is nothing like that. You remain fully aware and in complete control throughout every session. Hypnosis in a therapeutic setting is simply a state of focused relaxation similar to being absorbed in a book or a long drive. You cannot be made to do or say anything you don’t want to.
CBH is particularly effective for anxiety, overthinking, stress and burnout, smoking cessation, and breaking compulsive habits and patterns. Sessions are structured and goal-focused, not open-ended talking. Most clients see meaningful progress within 3 to 6 sessions.
