what is hypnosis?
Hypnosis, originating from the ancient Greek word 'hypnos' for 'sleep', has evolved significantly since its formal naming by James Braid, known as the 'Father of Hypnosis', in 1846. From its ancient beginnings in sleep temples of Egypt and Greece, hypnosis has been a cornerstone of healing across cultures.
Today, as a certified hypnotherapist, I harness this natural state—akin to the daydreaming experienced just before sleeping and waking—to induce deep relaxation and heightened awareness. This optimal state for learning enables you to deeply connect with your subconscious mind, focusing your attention and enhancing your responsiveness to personalized suggestions.
At my practice, Amelie Naegelen Hypnotherapy, I use bespoke scripts to break down limiting beliefs that have held you back for years, paving the way for you to achieve your personal goals.
My tailored hypnotherapy sessions are designed to empower you to make sustainable changes, helping you lead a fuller, happier, and more successful life.

Our subconscious mind, forming between the ages of 0 to 8, consists of associations—positive, negative, or neutral—shaped by our life experiences, family, education, and environment. These associations act as our programming, triggering automatic responses to various situations.
Remarkably, this subconscious part accounts for 88% of our mind, leaving only 12% for our conscious activities, including logic, willpower, and decision-making. This disproportion explains the challenges we face when attempting to make conscious changes.
Through hypnotherapy, we can access the subconscious mind by accumulating message units in a hypnotic state, enabling us to modify our ingrained responses and programming. Book your free 20-min call.
Hypnosis is particularly powerful for fears and phobias. Because fear responses are stored in the subconscious mind, not the logical, conscious mind, willpower alone rarely works. Hypnotherapy bypasses that conscious resistance and works directly at the root, reprogramming the association between the trigger and the fear response. This is why clients often experience meaningful shifts in just a few sessions, even after years of struggling with the same fear.
