Ep 33: From Anxiety to Empowerment: How Hypnosis Helps, with Hypnotherapist Andy Robson

Host Robyn Holm interviews Glasgow-based hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach Andy Robson. Andy helps people regain control of their emotional state when it feels like someone or something else is running the show. After overcoming more than a decade of anxiety and attachment patterns himself, Andy rebuilt his life using the same principles he now teaches: nervous system regulation, thought retraining, and emotional self-command. He explains his daily self-hypnosis routine, how he uses anchoring and “stacking” for confidence, and why metaphors and nested stories bypass conscious resistance. Robyn shares her own long history with anxiety and postpartum anxiety and how Hypnosis helped.  Robyn and Andy discuss empathic traits, anxiety as thoughts and body chemistry, self-talk, nervous system regulation, and evidence-based questioning to stop spirals. Andy also previews his seven-day hypnosis program “Detach and Attract” for releasing unhealthy attachments.   Work with Andy: https://theandyrobson.com/ https://theandyrobson.com/detach-and-attract     Contact Robyn: 250-212-7955 TikTok @RobynHolmHypnotherapist YouTube: @robynholmhypnotherapy IG: @robynholmhypnotherapy   Work with Robyn 1:1 by going to okhypnotherapy.com   Get Robyn’s FREE SafeBody Series Here: https://www.skool.com/robyn-holm-hypnotherapy-2618/about   Robyn’s ThrivingBody Membership (Weight Loss) includes Zoom call on 2nd Wednesday of every month, 6pm PT, class and Group Hypnosis recording, plus access to all previous Weight-Loss classes in the member portal. -$59/month, cancel anytime:  https://www.skool.com/thrivingbody-membership-1418/about   Show Notes:   00:00 Podcast Intro   00:40 Meet Andy Robson   01:42 Andys Journey   05:00 Self Hypnosis Routine   07:05 Anchors And Stacking   10:51 Why Metaphors Work   12:26 Teddy Bear Story   19:37 Discovering Empathy   21:31 Anxiety Symptoms   23:54 Robins Anxiety Story   30:03 Finding Your Audience   30:42 Anxiety and Taboo   32:05 Self Talk Rewire   34:48 Chemistry and Histamine   36:50 Evidence Over Spirals   40:47 Helping Kids Regulate   43:14 Why Anxiety Exists   47:43 From Fear to Drive   48:51 Postpartum Anxiety Story   50:53 Future Focused Hypnosis   51:46 Unlocking Hidden Ability   54:26 Detach Attract Program   57:41 Where to Find Andy   58:26 Final Thanks and Outro
