Daniel Browne - The Mind Bender

28/03/2026

It is absolutely ok to ask your potential therapist questions to help you decide if there are a safe person to work with.

I encourage potential clients to ask me questions to check I'm the right person for them. Questions have ranged from:

"Do you have experience of helping people who are scared of driving on motorways?" Yes, I have a lot of experience of that.

To...

"Have you ever voted for the Conservative Party?" Hell no.

Being mindful of boundaries and not giving away too much personal information, I believe it's important to be real, be honest, and answer questions that will help potential clients to make sure they are seeing the right person for their needs.

It was wonderful to talk with the fabulous Claudia Rickard, fellow hypnotherapist and creator of the Bunny Talk Process. We discussed what we're up to at this year's Hypnothoughts Live conference in Las Vegas.

I'll be delivering a one day pre-conference workshop on 16th July on my Mind Bender Method, plus a one hour presentation during the conference on the Hypnotic Rainbow.

Claudia will be presenting on what to do about a 1 star review during the conference and then delivering a two day post-conference workshop on 21st and 22nd July on the Bunny Talk Process.

If you're thinking about going to Hypnothoughts or doing a pre/post conference workshop, prices go up on March 31st, so now is the time to book and save some money.

I help LGBTQ+ people heal deep identity shame and reclaim their authentic selves.

Don't be an ally during Pride Month and then disappear like a bad Grindr hookup.

I'm just saying.

And ok, it's not Pride Month at the moment, but I'm highlighting that we need allies all year round.

Allyship needs to be a lifelong, visible, and vocal commitment.

LGBTQ+ communities need allies right now.

"I don't want to say the wrong thing."

The comfortable silence around LGBTQ+ topics.

A blog by me.

We really NEED to be talking about this stuff. Therapists, don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing. Get clued on on LGBTQ+ topics so that you feel more confident talking about them.

Mastering the Mind Bender Method: A One Day Intensive for Hypnotic Transformation

16th July 2026
Sahara Hotel, Las Vegas

BOOK YOUR PLACE: https://2026.htlive.net/browne-master-mind-bender

Places are very limited, so book asap to avoid missing out.

As part of Hypnothoughts Live, I'm delivering a one-day pre-conference workshop on my pioneering Mind Bender Method for working with LGBTQ+ clients. It is currently the only time I am doing this training in 2026. It's a Hypnothoughts exclusive.

Step into the world of The Mind Bender, Daniel Browne.

Learn a revolutionary approach to hypnosis that goes far beyond scripts and surface techniques. In this immersive one-day workshop, you will master The Mind Bender Method - a structured, yet flexible, 10-step framework that combines hypnosis, therapeutic skills, and coaching to create profound, lasting change for LGBT+ clients.

By the end of this transformational day, you will walk away with the mindset, tools, and confidence to deliver hypnosis that doesn't just change habits - it changes lives. You will also become a certified The Mind Bender Method practitioner. Each participant will receive a The Mind Bender Method manual, a copy of the 'How to be an LGBT+ Affirmative Therapist' book, and one month of post-workshop support and supervision to implement learning. There is also a Facebook community to join if participants wish, so the connections and learning can continue.

Through live demonstations, practical exercises, and hands-on hypnotic practice, you will discover how to:

- Unlock the 10 steps of The Mind Bender Method to guide clients to empowerment and self-acceptance.
- Use advanced hypnotic language patterns and reframing techniques to shift beliefs at the deepest level.
- Integrate emotional intelligence, storytelling, and identity work for powerful client breakthroughs.
- Confidently adapt the method to diverse clients (including LGBT+ clients seeking authenticity, empowerment, and self-acceptance).

The workship is full of questions, group discussions, hypnosis demonstrations, practical activities, and the opportunity throughout to ask questions and share experiences.

I like to get people thinking, talking, and moving. People learn best from doing. There will also be ice breakers and time for reflections and inner work.

Hello from the Gaydio Awards in Manchester, where tonight I won the Volunteer of the Year award for my work supporting LGBTQ+ people and raising over £500k to run support projects for the community. I'm beyond proud, not just of myself, but all my staff, volunteers, and the wonderful, brave, resilient, inspiring LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💜

Exciting news...

It's taken a while to sort out (tax stuff took a long time), but I finally have confirmation that my books, including the latest release 'LGBTSEX', can go on sale at Barnes & Noble stores across the USA and on their website.

It will take another few weeks for that to start, but I'm excited to be making my books even more accessible to people in the USA.

In the meantime, 'LGBTSEX' is available on Amazon worldwide at https://www.amazon.co.uk/LGBTSEX-Daniel-Browne/dp/B0FTVBZZMQ.

You'll find my other releases on Amazon too.

It's time to head home from Copenhagen.

The Danish Hypnotherapy Conference has been a fabulous experience. I loved the atmosphere, how friendly everyone was, and all the opportunities to learn, share, and connect.

I'm now at the airport waiting for my flight back to the UK.

Tomorrow I'll be back seeing clients at my clinic. I look forward to welcoming everyone.

I am currently booking into June but you'll find some availability between now and then. The sooner you book, the sooner you are seen.

Enjoying my final night in Copenhagen. Great to have dinner with fellow hypnotherapists from around Europe, some of whom have become friends over the years. Lovely Nepalese food, great company, and lots of laughs. The perfect end to a fabulous weekend at the Danish Hypnotherapy Conference.
