Can Hypnosis make you Happier?
This Hypnotherapist says it makes her happier!
Angela Vincent is a Clinical Hypnotherapist in Tasmania working with clients Australia wide thanks to Zoom and she knows she feels better after delivering and receiving Hypnosis!
Anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, nightmares, relationship break-ups, loneliness and grief are all reasons people seek out Hypnosis and for good reason. It offers a place for the body and mind to experience moments of relief from their emotions and thoughts and gain some sense that it can feel better in real time. We work with the very difficult and we can offer some space between the pain and their urge to genuinely feel better.
Here are some reasons Angela finds the world of Hypnosis impactful in a positive and at times, humorous way and here are some of her why’s…
Hypnotherapists often possess a unique sense of humor that sets them apart in the world of therapy. Here's why they tend to be funny:
Engaging and Relaxing: Humor can be an effective tool for engaging clients and helping them relax during hypnotherapy sessions. A light-hearted joke or witty remark can instantly break the ice and create a more comfortable atmosphere, making it easier for clients to enter a state of hypnosis.
Builds Rapport: Humor can strengthen the rapport between hypnotherapists and their clients. Sharing a laugh creates a sense of connection and camaraderie, fostering trust and openness in the therapeutic relationship.
Dissolves Tension: Many clients come to hypnotherapy with underlying stress, anxiety, or tension. A well-timed joke or humorous anecdote can help diffuse tension and lighten the mood, making it easier for clients to address sensitive issues and explore their emotions.
Facilitates Change: Humor can be a powerful catalyst for change. By injecting humor into the therapeutic process, hypnotherapists can help clients reframe negative thoughts and beliefs, challenge limiting beliefs, and adopt a more positive outlook on life.
Creative and adds Flexibility: Hypnotherapists often need to think on their feet and adapt their approach to meet the unique needs of each client. A playful sense of humor allows hypnotherapists to approach therapy with creativity and flexibility, exploring new techniques and interventions to achieve therapeutic goals.
Models Relaxation: A relaxed and lighthearted demeanor sets the tone for the session and encourages clients to let go of stress and tension. Hypnotherapists who incorporate humor into their practice serve as role models for relaxation, demonstrating the benefits of a positive and light-hearted attitude towards life.
Enhances Memory and Learning: Humor has been shown to improve memory and enhance learning. By weaving humor into hypnotherapy sessions, hypnotherapists can help clients retain information more effectively and internalize positive suggestions for change.
Boosts Resilience: Laughter is known to boost resilience and help individuals cope with adversity. Hypnotherapists who use humor in their practice help clients develop a more resilient mindset, enabling them to navigate life's challenges with grace and humor.
Creates Lasting Positive Associations: Clients who associate therapy with positive emotions and experiences are more likely to continue their therapeutic journey and make lasting changes in their lives. Humor creates a memorable and enjoyable experience for clients, fostering a positive association with hypnotherapy.
Celebrates Progress: Humor can be a powerful tool for celebrating progress and milestones in the therapeutic journey. Whether it's cracking a joke to lighten the mood during a breakthrough moment or sharing a laugh to acknowledge a client's achievements, hypnotherapists use humor to affirm and celebrate the progress their clients are making.
All in all, hypnotherapists use humor as a versatile and effective tool for promoting relaxation, building rapport, facilitating change, and creating a positive therapeutic experience for their clients. Through laughter and lightheartedness, hypnotherapists help clients tap into their innate potential for healing and transformation.

Hypnosis for Christmas!
Hypnotherapy can ease your anxiety!
Does your social anxiety peak at this time of year?
Most of our in-built personality traits can find themselves busy balancing what we know we’ve grown into verses the delicate and vulnerable child within. All the learning and adapting in the world can be undone with a ‘one-liner’ from your childhood such as “they always were the sensitive one” … ha? Actually, they may well have been the child courageous enough to speak up for the ones how couldn’t speak up for themselves, or perhaps they have a gentleness that requires nurturing and strengthening with constructive and useful encouragement?
If this sounds like your soul is being spoken to then Hypnosis may well be for you!
Don’t let the stress of expectations ruin your Christmas!
Hypnosis and clinical Hypnotherapy work in the present moment to provide immediate relief from ongoing stress and anxiety. As a medically-attuned clinical hypnotherapist I support clients with simple explanations of how their body is behaving in a way that is not helpful and how we can revert those misguided nervous system responses.
In simple terms, an anxious and stressed body is being propelled forward through the sympathetic nervous system’s ‘fight or flight’ response which is driven by adrenaline. Eventually when the perceived attack doesn’t eventuate the body becomes exhausted and unable to effectively identify when it’s time to revert back to the parasympathetic nervous system “rest & digest” which is managed by nor-adrenaline.
You can consider this the antidote to the panic button but it’s not always easy to induce it when the sirens are squealing and the chaos is a sensory wave of nausea, stomach churning, shortness of breath, lightheadedness and an inability to think clearly.

Known as the 21st century Therapist, it is hoped that us, as practitioners, are utilising all of the skills we have developed to bring the most helpful, caring and healing approach to our clients so that they can test the waters to find the best-next-step for them in a way that is productive, courageous and supports them to bravely move their healing body, mind and spirit forward
I can personally thank my Mentor Richard Hill and the incredible work he and Matthew Dahlitz have accomplished. As founders of the Science of Psychotherapy as a resource for highly skilled Practitioners and the comprehensive Journal, Podcasts, training programs and special guests, I have gained a huge amount of knowledge, skills and understanding of my role in the Client-centered therapy focused approach to helping people find their antidote.
Richard and Matthew have recently released a comprehensive academic book called The Practitioner’s guide to the Science of Psychotherapy with foreword by John Arden.
Please consider booking yourself in for Clinical Hypnotherapy to have a calmer, more relaxed Christmas this year! I am available Virtually and In-person in Hobart, Tasmania.
