Self-hypnosis: Using Self-Hypnosis Outside the Treatment Room

Self-hypnosis is a simple but powerful skill you can use anytime you need to feel calmer, more focused, or more in control. Just like guided hypnotherapy in the treatment room, it involves using relaxation techniques, focused attention, and positive suggestions — but this time, you’re guiding yourself.

How It Can Help Day to Day

Self-hypnosis can be used to:

• Reduce stress or anxiety in challenging moments

• Boost confidence before presentations, meetings, or social events

• Improve focus and concentration at work or while studying

• Support better sleep by calming a busy mind

• Strengthen motivation for personal goals and healthy habits

By practising self-hypnosis regularly, you’re giving yourself a tool to manage life’s ups and downs with greater calm and resilience. Many people find it becomes a supportive habit — like meditation, mindfulness, or deep breathing — but with the added benefit of shaping the way the subconscious mind responds to challenges.
