Heres a lovely post from Annie Frances Clinical Hypnotherapy and Wellbeing about the benefits of Hypnotherapy and the thoughts we have and the effects that they have on the body. The subconcious runs the show unless we retrain it. Have read.
How Our Thoughts Sabotage Our Health and How Hypnotherapy Helps Us Heal
Every thought we think creates a reaction in our body. Whether it’s worry, resentment, or self-criticism, our thoughts don’t exist in isolation they affect our heart rate, hormones, digestion, and even immunity. When we live in a cycle of stress or negativity, our body stays on high alert, constantly releasing stress chemicals like cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, this chronic tension quietly undermines our health, leaving us feeling drained, anxious, and unwell.
But here’s the deeper truth: most of these harmful thought patterns don’t come from our conscious mind. They’re rooted in the subconscious, the part of the mind that stores our beliefs, memories, and emotional responses. These subconscious programs run automatically shaping our habits, emotions, and reactions often without our awareness.
That’s where hypnotherapy becomes a powerful tool for change. Under hypnosis, the conscious mind relaxes, allowing access to the subconscious layer where real transformation happens. In this deeply focused state, old mental scripts can be uncovered and gently rewritten. Negative beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “I’ll never get better” can be replaced with empowering, healing thoughts that support health and self-worth.
Hypnotherapy doesn’t just relax the mind; it retrains it. Studies have shown it can reduce stress, ease chronic pain, improve sleep, and even boost immune function because when the subconscious mind believes in healing, the body follows.
By changing the thoughts that lie beneath the surface, we shift the entire foundation of how we think, feel, and live. Our inner dialogue becomes a source of healing rather than harm and health becomes a natural reflection of a peaceful, balanced mind.
