How does hypnosis work?
Short:
Very good! 😉
Just kidding!
So, we use the neuroplasticity of our brain and create a change by using a cognitive restructuring through hypnosis, e.g. through guided imagery 😉
You can find out exactly what that means, when you scroll down to the long version.
When we try to consciously solve unconscious problems, change takes a long time.
There is a positive intention behind everything our subconscious mind does (even if it is not logical for us why we react to certain things the way we do).
Your mind created the problem, so it can solve it. Hypnosis is like a magnifying glass on which the sun shines and focuses the light.
Long:
How does hypnosis work?
Hypnosis works! And it works very well! 😉 But joking aside: there are several explanations as to how hypnosis works. Basically, we use the neuroplasticity of our brain and use hypnosis to bring about a cognitive restructuring, for example through guided imagery.
Okay, that might sound a bit cryptic. So, again in simple terms:
The different levels of consciousness
To understand how hypnosis works, we first need to look at the different levels of consciousness:
- the unconscious mind:
the unconscious mind controls our bodily functions, such as breathing, blinking or swallowing. It works automatically and without our conscious intervention. - the subconscious:

This is where our emotions, feelings, long-term memory and habits are located, whether good, bad or neutral. The subconscious is like a huge memory that influences our daily actions. - the conscious mind:

The conscious mind is responsible for our logical, analytical and rational thinking. It is also where our willpower and short-term memory are located. It is the part of us that actively makes decisions. - the superconscious:

The superconscious mind is comparable to the Akashic Records, the morphogenetic field or the divine consciousness. It is a universal source of knowledge and wisdom that goes far beyond our normal understanding.
How does hypnosis use these levels?
Hypnosis enables us to communicate directly with the subconscious. Through guided imagery, suggestions and relaxation techniques, we can replace old patterns with new, positive ones.
