How Hypnosis Works: Unlocking the Power of Your Mind in 5 Steps

Have you ever wondered what hypnosis really is and how it can change your life?

At Inner Belief, we know that the mind is the most powerful tool you will ever own. Yet most people are never taught how to use it in a way that creates lasting change.

Hypnosis is not mind-control. It’s not about clucking like a chicken on stage. It’s actually a natural state you slip into every single day. Think about the times you’ve been completely absorbed in a book, a movie, or your own thoughts. That “zoned out” feeling is a form of hypnosis.

When guided with skill and care, this natural state opens the door to your subconscious mind. And that’s where real transformation happens. Through methods like Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), hypnosis allows you to reach the root cause of self-doubt, fear, or limiting beliefs and replace them with confidence, clarity, and freedom.

What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a deeply relaxed, trance-like state that heightens focus and imagination. In this state, your conscious “critical” mind softens, allowing you to connect with your subconscious, the part of your mind that stores memories, habits, and emotional associations.

Far from being mysterious, hypnosis simply helps you:

• Quiet mental noise and stress.

• Access the stories and patterns driving your behavior.

• Reframe limiting beliefs at their root.

• Embed new, empowering suggestions that support your goals.

It feels calm, safe, and natural because you remain in control the whole time.

How Hypnosis Changes Your Life

Working with a therapist trained in hypnosis and RTT can help you:

• Let go of anxiety, fears, and stress.

• Break free from habits like smoking or overeating.

• Rebuild confidence and self-esteem.

• Heal from the past and rewrite old stories.

• Create lasting, positive change in just a few sessions.

Clients often describe the experience as finally getting out of their own way. They begin to feel lighter, more focused, and more in control of their lives.

The Five Stages of a Transformational Hypnosis Session

Every therapist has their own approach, but most sessions flow through these five key stages:

1. Building Trust

Before any hypnosis begins, your therapist takes time to understand you - your goals, your challenges, and your unique story. This creates safety and trust, so you’re set up for success.

2. Induction & Deep Relaxation

With simple techniques (such as guided breathing or Marisa Peer’s R.E.M. method), your therapist helps you relax into a trance-like state. You remain aware, but deeply calm and focused.

3. Hypnotic Imagery & Exploration

Once relaxed, your therapist guides your imagination to uncover the root cause of blocks or limiting beliefs. Through imagery, metaphors, and suggestions, you begin to see your challenges in a new light.

4. Future Visioning

You’re guided to imagine your desired future: confident, free, and empowered. This visualisation helps your subconscious mind rehearse success and make it feel achievable.

5. Embedding Positive Suggestions

Finally, empowering statements and suggestions are placed into your subconscious. These are designed to stick and grow stronger in the days and weeks after your session.

When the session ends, you return to full awareness - calm, clear, and already beginning to shift.

Why We Use Hypnosis at Inner Belief

Hypnosis is one of the fastest and most effective ways to create change. Instead of working only on surface-level symptoms, it goes directly to the root cause and rewrites it. That’s why clients often notice a profound difference in just one to three sessions.

At Inner Belief, every therapist is trained in Marisa Peer’s proven RTT method. We believe you don’t have to spend years in therapy to see real results. You just need the right guidance and tools to harness the power of your own mind.
