About Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to bring about a state of deep relaxation and focused attention13. This altered state of consciousness allows individuals to become more open to suggestions, facilitating changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviours3. Hypnotherapy works by communicating with the subconscious mind, which is responsible for many of our thought processes and behaviours1.

So läuft eine Hypnose-Session ab

Ein kurzer Überblick über das, was vor, während und nach einer Hypnose-Session passiert.

Jorrit Joosse, hypnotherapist, explaining how a hypnotherapy session works
Read the transcript

At Hypno4Life, before we start any hypnotherapy session, we actually first just have a conversation among the two of us. During this conversation we of course have the opportunity to get to know each other, and I will especially use the time to get to know you a bit better: where you are coming from, how your history is, how you would like your future to be, what you are currently struggling with and which aspects you would like to work on in your life.

I will then start preparing our first session. The difference between the Hypno4Life method compared to many other therapists is that we really build the session tailored to our clients.

So as soon as our session takes place, you will be invited to sit back, relax and just listen to my voice. There is really nothing else that you need to do at this moment. Hypnotherapy is actually nothing else than allowing the hypnotherapist – in this case me – to speak directly with your subconscious mind. In order to reach your subconscious mind we use various techniques, but you should be aware that you will not be completely asleep. You will be in an altered state of mind – a similar state of mind as if you're watching a very interesting movie, or as if you are daydreaming a bit. So you will be awake, but you will be a bit centred, in order to allow me to speak to your subconscious mind directly.

And then, towards the end of the session, you may already notice that you had a certain fear before, and that fear may be a lot less, or maybe even gone. Or that you were drawn to unhealthy substances like cigarettes, alcohol or sugar, and that this craving of this specific nutrition is much less. You may notice that you have more confidence, or that you feel more accepted about who you are. The topics can vary, and the results can vary as well. But the good thing about hypnotherapy is that you usually already notice an effect after the very first session.

After the session it's advised to keep it easy the rest of that day. You've gone through a process, and it is beneficial to keep the time for yourself, to stay close to yourself. Of course, when you have a family, you go back to your family, but it's advised not to, let's say, go to a bar or go to gatherings with loads of people where everything is asking your attention. It's good to try to stay close to yourself, with your loved ones, and to allow your body and your mind to process what you've been going through. It's also advised to not drink any alcohol in the rest of the day and to go to bed early, because a lot of change will actually process during your sleep.

Let me know if you still have any questions about how a session would work. You can reach me via the email address on this website, or on social media – the links will be here below.

About Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)

Neurolinguistic Programming, developed in the 1970s, is a complementary approach that examines how our thoughts affect our behaviour2. At Hypno4Life®, we incorporate NLP techniques into our practice to enhance communication with clients and help them communicate more effectively with themselves6. Hypnotherapy and NLP are often combined. People commonly use them for:

  • Stress and tension: Hypnosis and NLP techniques are widely used for deep relaxation and for handling pressure more calmly12.

  • Specific fears: NLP works on the thought patterns around a fear, while hypnosis works with the subconscious associations behind it24.

  • 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 your goals, your background and anything you'd like us to know. We will then guide you into a deep relaxation state using techniques like progressive relaxation, visualisation, and focused breathing. In this state, we’ll use tailored techniques, such as direct suggestions and guided imagery, to address your goals. The session concludes with a gentle awakening. Sessions typically last 45-50 minutes. Throughout the process, you remain in control. Our role is to guide you, so you can reach the subconscious mind and make the change you're after.

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. Its legal and medical status differs from country to country. In Germany, treating illness is reserved for licensed practitioners, so our work focuses on personal development, not on treating medical or psychological conditions.

As with any 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.

Jorrit hat die seltene Gabe, einen Raum zu schaffen, in dem man sich vollkommen gesehen und gehört fühlt. Seine Empathie, seine Achtsamkeit und seine Fähigkeit, wirklich zuzuhören, machen jede Session zu einem sicheren Ort ohne Bewertung. Mit seinem intuitiven Gespür und seiner ruhigen Präsenz führt er dich zu tieferer Selbstwahrnehmung, auf eine Weise, die sich natürlich und echt anfühlt. Jorrit bringt etwas ganz Besonderes in seine Arbeit als Hypnotherapeut ein: ein tiefes Gespür für Menschen, das Vertrauen schafft und echte Veränderung möglich macht. Danke, Jorrit, dass du deine Gabe mit so viel Herz und Authentizität teilst.

Die Session mit Jorrit hat mir geholfen, als ich mich von meinen eigenen Herausforderungen überfordert fühlte. Ich konnte die Beklemmung loslassen, die ich in dem Moment spürte, und das Leben wieder positiv und mit Freude sehen. Die Veränderung war bemerkenswert und kam schnell! Vielen Dank, Jorrit.

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!

"In the search of a place to reduce anxiety and stress, I came across Jorrit’s hypnosis therapy. A safe and contained space where I came to realise unconscious blockers beliefs that have been the cause of the anxiety and have been blocking me to be a better version of myself. A journey of self-discovery and healing."

“Ich traue mich nicht, um Hilfe zu bitten. Ich glaube nicht, dass jemand Zeit für mich haben will.
“Ich bin noch nicht so weit. Ich brauche mehr Vorbereitung, sonst halten mich die anderen für unerfahren.
“Meine Kunden springen ab, wenn ich meine Preise erhöhe.
“Ich bin noch nicht gut genug für eine Beförderung.
“Die Leute verurteilen mich, wenn ich scheitere.
“Was, wenn ich mich falsch entschieden habe?
“So gut wie sie oder er werde ich nie.
“Ich bin keine Führungspersönlichkeit.

"I had such an amazing experience on Jorrit and Mabel's workshop, you could feel they prepared it with love, it was well guided and thought, also they were so nice to offer a follow up after the workshop! Each activity made me discover things about myself and how I show up to others. I'm grateful to have been part of that!"
