118: Hypnosis Curious?

Odds are- you are probably getting “hypnotized” every day and not in the stage-show way! When you’re half awake in bed, locked into a movie, stuck in doomscroll mode, or deep in a run where everything goes quiet, you’re in a trance-like state that can shape your subconscious mind. We talk about how to stop leaving that doorway open by accident and start using self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy on purpose.We walk through what hypnosis actually is: a deep state of relaxation where you are aware, your nervous system settles, and your mind becomes more receptive to new programming. Polly explains why “all hypnosis is self-hypnosis,” the best times to practice (right after waking and right before sleep), and how a good session is like a massage for your brain. We also unpack the myths that keep people skeptical, plus the safety basics like properly coming back out of trance and being careful about what you consume when you’re most suggestible.From habit change and anxiety reduction to sleep improvement, confidence, and identity rewiring, we explore why willpower often fails when subconscious beliefs are running the show. You’ll hear practical examples, including scarcity mindset shifts, performance and flow state training for athletes, and surprising real-world uses like hypnotherapy for childbirth and dental work. We also share starter paths like the Silva Method style approach and guided hypnosis audio, plus how to choose reputable voices and avoid sketchy “instant transformation” promises.If you’ve been trying to change the same pattern for years, this is a different doorway.
