Hey, my name's Joseph Clough and this is my wonderful wife, Melissa Clough, who is also a trainer of hypnosis just like myself.

And today we just wanted to talk to you a little bit about how hypnosis works.

Have you ever wondered how it works, the science of it, and actually what is so powerful about this technique. We hear a lot of things

about hypnosis and a lot of generalizations about what it could be. We oftentimes think of

it as like stage hypnosis. We're walking like chickens and doing things we don't want to do.

But that actually is not therapeutic hypnosis. And that is really what Joseph and I do is therapeutic hypnosis.

If you followed any of our work, then you know how that experience feels and what you feel like

after and you may be experiencing changes and not knowing quite why. I know that's how I first

got into it. When I started listening to it, I would wake up in the morning and I would go, wow, I feel really good.

I feel super motivated, but I don't know why.

And I'm a psychologist, I like the science of things.

And so I started looking into like, what is it about this that actually works?

And it's fascinating.

So do you want to share a little bit?

Sure. I mean, if you think about what hypnosis is, it's an altered state of awareness where if you

could consciously let go of your issue, you surely would.

Or maybe if you wanted to learn hypnosis for yourself so you can work with people, your

clients would also have an issue which they just cannot let go of consciously. So if they can't do it consciously, it must mean the unconscious mind

is running it beneath the surface.

So hypnosis is about bypassing the conscious mind so we can make the real deep impact.

But it goes more than that because there's a biology, there's a science to this. Yes. So really what hypnosis is, is just it's like Joseph said, an altered state of consciousness,

but it's really just a relaxed state. Oftentimes people go, oh, when you put me under in hypnosis,
