Hypnotherapy for Flow States and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)

Unlocking Peak Performance

In today's fast-paced world, achieving peak performance and maintaining mental clarity is essential for personal and professional success. However, the stress and distractions of modern life often make this goal elusive. This is where hypnotherapy, a scientifically-backed practice, steps in as a powerful tool to optimise mental states like flow and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR). By leveraging the power of hypnosis, individuals can unlock new levels of focus, creativity, and recovery.

Understanding Flow States and NSDR

Flow states—often referred to as "being in the zone"—are periods of intense focus and effortless performance. During flow, individuals report feeling fully immersed in an activity, losing track of time, and achieving their best work.

Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR), on the other hand, is a term popularised by Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist at Stanford University. NSDR encompasses practices like yoga nidra and guided hypnosis that promote deep relaxation without actual sleep. It’s a proven method for recharging the brain, enhancing learning, and consolidating memory.

Both states are powerful tools for improved mental performance, and recent research highlights how hypnotherapy can act as a bridge to achieving these states more effectively.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a guided practice that uses hypnosis, a trance-like state of heightened focus and suggestibility, to promote behavioural or cognitive change. Contrary to myths, hypnosis is not about losing control but about gaining access to the subconscious mind, where lasting change can occur.

Under the guidance of a trained hypnotherapist, individuals can reframe limiting beliefs, reduce anxiety, and enhance focus—all of which are essential for achieving flow states and the regenerative benefits of NSDR.

The Connection Between Hypnosis and Flow States

1. Enhanced Focus and Concentration
   Hypnosis helps clear mental clutter, paving the way for the laser-like focus required to enter a flow state. Through tailored hypnotic suggestions, individuals learn to bypass distractions and cultivate the deep concentration that fuels creative and productive endeavors.

2. Reduced Anxiety and Mental Blocks
   Anxiety and overthinking are the antithesis of flow. Hypnosis can help by rewiring thought patterns, reducing performance anxiety, and promoting a calm yet energised mindset—key conditions for flow to occur.

3. Boosted Confidence and Motivation
   Confidence is a cornerstone of high performance. Hypnotherapy sessions often include affirmations and visualisations that enhance self-belief, making it easier to take on challenging tasks and enter flow states.

4. Heightened Emotional Regulation
   Emotional stability is crucial for sustained performance. Hypnosis trains the mind to manage stress, enabling smoother transitions into flow even under pressure.

Hypnotherapy and NSDR: The Perfect Pairing

Hypnosis aligns seamlessly with NSDR practices, offering similar benefits in terms of relaxation, recovery, and mental clarity.

1. Deep Relaxation
   Like NSDR protocols such as yoga nidra, hypnosis induces a state of profound relaxation. This not only helps the body recover but also primes the brain for enhanced creativity and problem-solving.

2. Improved Learning and Memory
   Studies show that hypnosis can enhance memory recall and retention, much like NSDR. This makes hypnotherapy a powerful tool for students, professionals, and anyone looking to upskill quickly.

3. Efficient Recovery
   Hypnosis can be used as a shortcut to recharge the brain during a busy day. Just 10–20 minutes of a guided hypnosis session can mimic the restorative effects of a nap or NSDR protocol.

4. Stress Reduction
   Both hypnosis and NSDR activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to lower cortisol levels and promote a sense of calm. This stress relief is vital for maintaining long-term performance and preventing burnout.

Evidence-Based Benefits of Hypnosis for Peak Performance

Scientific research continues to validate the efficacy of hypnotherapy for improving cognitive and emotional performance. Key studies highlight:

• Enhanced Creativity and Problem-Solving: A study published in the Journal of Creative Behavior demonstrated that hypnosis enhances divergent thinking, a key component of creativity. This directly supports the cognitive demands of flow states.

• Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Research in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that hypnosis significantly reduces stress and anxiety levels, key barriers to both flow and NSDR.

• Improved Focus and Productivity: A meta-analysis in Neuroscience of Consciousness showed that hypnosis improves sustained attention and task-specific focus, directly contributing to better performance in professional and personal endeavors.

These findings underscore why hypnotherapy is becoming a sought-after tool among athletes, executives, and creatives aiming to enhance their performance.

Practical Applications: Using Hypnotherapy for Flow and NSDR

Incorporating hypnotherapy into your routine doesn’t require drastic changes. Here are some practical steps to harness its benefits:

1. Work with a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
   Seek a qualified professional who can design sessions tailored to your specific goals, whether it’s reducing anxiety, boosting creativity, or mastering a skill.

2. Explore Self-Hypnosis
   Self-hypnosis techniques, available through guided recordings, are an excellent way to experience the benefits of hypnotherapy at your own pace. Many resources align with NSDR practices, offering quick, restorative sessions.

3. Pair with Existing NSDR Routines
   Incorporate hypnosis into your NSDR practice. For example, use a guided hypnosis session during your regular yoga nidra practice to amplify relaxation and focus.

4. Set Clear Intentions
   Before starting a hypnosis session, clearly define your goals—whether it’s achieving a state of flow for a creative project or deeply relaxing through NSDR. This clarity helps the subconscious mind align with your objectives.

Hypnotherapy Success Stories: Real-World Impact

From Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to Olympic athletes, many high performers attribute their success to hypnotherapy. Here are two notable examples:

• Athletes: Several elite athletes use hypnosis to sharpen their mental game. By visualising success and reducing performance anxiety, they achieve peak states during competitions.

• Executives: Tech leaders and executives often turn to hypnotherapy to access flow states that drive innovation and productivity, helping them stay ahead in competitive industries.

Hypnosis for weight loss

Lose Weight and Embrace your Body Shape!

Cravings and unwanted food habits can lead to weight fluctuations and for many battling weight loss, the process is complex and multifaceted.  We are not all born alike, we have our DNA, upbringing and social influences impacting on how we navigate this life with all such variables contributing to our overall self worth and body image. Hypnosis is helpful in supporting in re-aligning our weight loss habits to a more positive mindset and in many cases, is effective is resetting some of the skewed habits or behaviours that have become the norm.

The addition of hypnosis provides a window of opportunity to assist in the effectiveness of dietary changes and an improvement in the regularity of exercise for people looking to lose weight. The idea is that the mind can be influenced to change habits like overeating. However, every individual will respond differently and despite it’s effectiveness in improving one’s self worth and improved body image, the amount of weight loss differs from person-to-person.

Does Hypnotherapy work for weight loss?

A 2018 study has provided evidence that the support of Self-Hypnosis techniques and hypnosis recordings.  The group provided with hypnosis reported better outcomes with a reduction in caloric (overall food) intake, a decrease in their urge to eat (satiety) and a reduction in the inflammatory markers related to obesity.

What to expect from your hypnotherapy weight loss program

Hypnotherapy for weight loss requires 5-6 consultations with the choice of Improved Weight Loss habits with craving elimination or Virtual Gastric Band weight loss (the subconscious belief that the stomach has been reduced in size and other suggestions).  Your individualised hypnotherapy program outlines personal goals and timelines, preferred eating habits and fitness goals.

During the hypnosis session certain words or repetition of certain phrases may be used and used throughout the program.  Your therapist may also help you visualise yourself reaching goals through sharing vivid mental imagery.  Hypnotherapy programs come with conscious tasks and an mp3 self hypnosis track to utilise.

How can I prepare for my first hypnotherapy appointment?

• Start a food diary to track your eating do your best to cut down on the not-so-good foods that have been problematic in the past.

• Increase your protein intake.

• Note the time of day that cravings may arise and document in your diary.

• Consider a free fitness activity that you would like to do and book it in with a good friend.

• Keep Hydrated. Water preferably 😉

Hypnotherapy for kids anxiety

School anxiety is a big deal! Does your child suffer from fear and panic? Hypnotherapy can help and Kids often experience immediate relief.

Being a parent is tough and as a parent of a youngster that expresses anxiety, fear or panic at any stage can make parenting even more difficult. Hypnotherapy is a gentle and in many cases effective way for kids and young adults to bravely work through their fears. Visual imagery and story telling are often wonderfully effective ways to engage young people and Hypnotherapy may be provided in a waking state as children are still very efficient at moving in and out of trance-like states.

Hypnotherapy for kids anxiety

If your child appears to have lost that toddler courage that you remember which allowed them to brush themselves off and attempt the next trick on the monkey bars then they could be in need of some confidence boosting. We know that as adults our resilience can take a beating when moving jobs, cities, sports teams or a myriad of different changes and our Children and young adults can lose sleep, forget to eat, be more hesitant to leave our side as just a couple of examples of how these feelings play out in children.

With Child Psychologist wait lists being stretched to capacity it is the perfect time to consider other options. Hypnotherapy can provide immediate relief being reported by many parents of my young clients. During a hypnotherapy session Mums and Dads can expect to remain in the room for the entirety of the 45min-60minute consultation to ensure that your child feels supported and comfortable for the duration of the session.

Despite children and young adults being quite suggestible to hypnosis, Hypnotherapy is most effective when a minimum of 3-6 consultations providing long lasting change and resilience for our young population. These programs aim to create a sense of self worth and building self esteem.

Hypnosis for Fertility anxiety and the pilgrimage towards parenting?

Do you have a wish to conceive, carry and birth your Baby? To be a Mum or Dad or are you a supportive friend traveling this vast emotional pilgrimage that touches your heart at every turn?

Hypnotherapy can assist by providing you with a sense of renewed wellbeing, rejuvenation and the ability to breathe during your periods of exhaustion and doubt, providing a sense of ok-ness on the more difficult days.

If you are one of the women that has been trying to fall pregnant with no clear explanation as to why it appears to be more difficult for you then Hypnotherapy may be a good supportive option. Hypnosis and mind-body therapies can assist you in keeping you calm and steady during the ups and downs of conception, miscarriage and a myriad of other physical and social factors that come into play when you’re planning for a child.

How can Hypnosis help?

Hypnosis is one part of the therapy provided by a Hypnotherapist. As a Nurse and Clinical Hypnotherapist, I combine my knowledge of the biology of the body and in almost all cases, I’m able to provide a lay (wo)man’s explanation of why it’s important to keep the stress hormones to a minimum and more importantly, how to do it with a few simple techniques.

You see, our body’s nervous system is fuelled by our minds’ response or our perceptions of fear and panic. We may not have saber tooth tigers to fight but that does not mean we’re not responding as if one is in front of us.

What does this have to do with you, I hear you thinking?

For women wishing to conceive after a long period of attempting to fall pregnant naturally simply approaching a scan, an Obstetrician appointment or just seeing a familiar medical professionals number come up on their phone it can be enough to release a fear and even panic response in the body. Our mind is often on the watch to avoid moments of extreme distress, prolonged discomfort or mental hurt. It is during these times that our body releases adrenaline which is counterproductive in the conceiving and birthing body.

Insomnia relief with hypnosis

Can’t sleep? Ease your night time distress with Hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy for insomnia was my introduction to Hypnotherapy and hypnosis as a life changing phenomenon. Allow yourself to be ready and willing to rid yourself of the exhausting symptoms of insomnia.

Life is quite short. Shorter even, as we get older.

Hypnotherapy offers an opportunity to reset your cycles of sleeplessness and provides a refreshing chance to investigate the reasons why this is occurring in this instance. As a medically-attuned clinical hypnotherapist and RN, I appreciate the complexities of the physical and structural abnormalities that drive the recurrence of insomnia. In some cases, however, that switch into the fight and flight autonomic nervous centre may find itself stuck in high alert and anxiety. When we’re able to consciously and subconsciously let go or process the trigger (whether you’re aware of what it is or not) of this current insomnia then hypnosis may be right for you!

Can’t sleep, can sleep but wake regularly, wake too early? All of these are indicative of insomnia. If these are your experiences, then find yourself a Hypnotherapist today.

PTSD symptom relief

Hypnotherapy provides effective relief for many people suffering from PTSD with all research findings highlighting the importance of receiving therapy from a highly skilled Therapist with a background in mental health care training.

Post Traumatic Stress disorder symptoms vary from one person to another. However, most people express their experiences as a combination of these 4 main groups of symptoms according to SANE

·       Flashbacks of the traumatic event through intrusive memories or nightmares

·       Feeling emotionally numb

·       Feeling anxious and ‘jumpy’ for no reason

·       Avoiding reminders of the event

Flashbacks, intrusive images, thoughts and nightmares are common and often extremely distressing.

A 2019 Meta-Analysis titled “Effectiveness Magnitude of Hypnosis on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder treatment’ on military and civilian populations was supportive of Hypnotherapy for PTSD in both populations.

The effects of Clinical Hypnotherapy combined with CBT were most positive in the veteran population. The combination of subsequent CBT and a structured 1 hour consultation process over multiple sessions was found to support the veteran’s respect for time and process as enhancing the positive Hypnotherapy outcomes for their clients.

Does hypnosis work?

Good question!

I’m never disappointed when people ask me about what I do. Well, I get to hypnotise people for a living and a vast majority thank me, tell me I’ve genuinely changed their lives or the lives of a family member.

It’s a unique playing field and one that continues to have its validity questioned despite the addition of fMRI evidence of what occurs in the brain during hypnosis as well as the newer area of the neuroscience of consciousness providing us with more defining variances between the waking state and state of hypnosis.

If you’re interested in how we can take someone from a smoker that has been unable to quit due to the severe physical and environmental cravings they’ve experienced in the past to someone who simply states ‘I don’t smoke’ and feels strangely Ok with this phenomena of the voice in their head reminding them that …

.. That’s right, I don’t smoke!

Does it get any more fantastic than that?

Clinical hypnotherapy for chronic pain

Clinical trial evidence consistently provides positive results for hypnotherapy effectiveness in reducing daily pain intensity levels in people with chronic pain.

Hypnotherapy harnesses your ability to retrain neural pathways and develop new patterns in the brain and body helping you reclaim control and relieve unrelenting chronic pain.

Chronic Pain and illness is debilitating, exhausting and extremely stressful.

Chronic Pain is considered as pain that occurs most days of the week and has been persistent for longer than three months. It may include pain that no longer has an identifiable cause regions of the body that have physically healed and pain remains.

Other physical identifiable causes include: 

·       Arthritis 

·       Autoimmune syndromes

·       Cancer 

·       Chronic nerve pain and bone / cartilage & ligament damage 

·       Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

·       Complex Pain Syndrome

·       Fibromyalgia 

·       Motor Neurone Disease / ALS: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

·       Multiple Sclerosis

·       Neuropathic pain syndrome

·       Phantom Pain Syndrome

·       Shingles

      ….. just to name a few.

It is estimated that 1 in 5 people suffer chronic pain.  It’s complex and the cause and treatment options which suit one person may not be as adequate for another.  Treatment options often require reviews to medications, changes to treatment recommendations and emotional resilience falling short at times due to the sea-sawing effect to ones’ ability to maintain healthy emotional reserves when the chronic pain remains.  

As a person in chronic pain there are some real concerns to address such as their primary chronic pain site, mobility and mental distress as well as financial hardship.  These issues present consistently for a person with chronic pain and their family as a decrease in their capacity to earn, ability to maintain social connections and their needs as a caregiver becomes compromised. 

What we do know is that there is not one single treatment that alleviates all chronic pain.  It takes good communication, support and the ability to advocate for yourself or your partner.  

It often requires the combination of proactive strategies about how your mental and emotional health may be maintained and health care professionals focused on providing you with positive outcomes and improved quality of life.

Quit smoking with Hypnosis

Does it really work for smoking? 

.. that is the first question I’m asked when people hear about my day job.

Yes!  Is my first response, however, it comes with some further investigations from under our Hypnotherapist caps.  We want to know whether you think it works?  Why and who suggested it and whether their opinion is held in high regard.

You see, we all have free will.  Whether we are hypnotisable or not will make minimal difference if the purpose of smoking is providing a reward more significant to the person than simply quitting.  Lifestyle habits, relationships and others opinions can create inner conflict and its effects may over-ride one’s better good at times.  But never forget, every attempt is one step closer to the winning day as a non-smoker for good!

Are you ready to quit?  To bring your plans and goals to the forefront of your daily, weekly and monthly plan?

Would you consider Hypnotherapy if you were certain one of several long-lasting changes could be installed such as never being able to consider having another cigarette ever again?

Perhaps you would rather not be drawn to the ‘draw-back sting’ at the back of your throat?  Hypnotherapy can have the natural gag response to the smell, taste and sting at the throat enabling you to quit the cigarette with the support of anchors such as red traffic lights reminding your mind and body that you have quit and you’re committed to that change.

Or perhaps when you smell the carpet in a bar you are reminded of how unpleasant smoking is and you feel relieved as a non-smoker once again..
