Welcome back to the podcast. My name is Joseph Clough and this is episode 654. Now in today's episode,

we're going to be talking about why hypnosis does not work. Now, you may be thinking, look,

Joseph, you've been doing hypnosis for two whole decades. How can you

possibly say hypnosis doesn't work? Well, of course, it's a little bit of a trick. I know of

absolute certainty hypnosis works. It worked for me to let go of my imposter syndrome, to let go of

the belief that I wasn't worthy, that I wasn't enough, that I wasn't capable, all of those kind of failings and the blushing and the anxiety.

And hypnosis literally saved my life. It did. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for hypnosis. So yes, hypnosis does work, but there are times when hypnosis

does not work. And here's where I want to go against the grain a little bit. And it might upset a few

people. It may do, but it's okay, right, to be upset or to at least be challenged,

or to at least consider alternative thoughts and ideas against our own beliefs and our values.

I think that can be a good, healthy thing for our experience because contrasting opinions can

actually be an opportunity to grow.

We don't want to be living in an echo chamber of all the same old, same old.

We want to think differently.

So allow things to bubble up on the inside.

So let's get to it.

I was thinking at the weekend,

why hypnosis does not work. And there's a

couple of answers to this. It may be a little bit personal about you, but also it may be

absolutely nothing about you. Right?

So let's consider it.

Let's get into the mindset that if we go and see a hypnotist or we use a hypnosis track, what could possibly be one of the reasons as to why hypnosis does not work?
