Have you ever thought about hypnotherapy as a tool for personal growth and wellbeing? Or do you associate it only with entertainment and about controlling someone’s mind? Well if you do, this episode is for you!


Jill Whitehouse joins the podcast today to talk about using hypnotherapy to reduce stress, overwhelm, and anxiety and build resilience. Jill is a solution focused hypnotherapist working with adults and children and shares how hypnotherapy works, the role of the brain in stress, and the power of positive thinking.


We talk a lot about how much can be gained by understanding how your brain works and the win-win that happens when a parent and child use this type of therapy.


In our conversation we share:

  • What hypnotherapy is and how it helps you understand how your brain works.
  • What a trance is and how it’s used to access the subconscious part of the brain and come up with solutions for problems.
  • The brains two main areas: the intellectual part and the emotional part.
  • The power of being able to regulate your emotions.
  • Jill’s 3 P’s Model: Positive thinking, positive action, and positive interaction.
  • The effectiveness of using hypnotherapy for both adults and children in managing stress, anxiety, and building resilience.
  • Understanding the role of adrenaline and cortisol in the body can help manage anxiety.
  • Maintaining emotional balance and building resilience through rest and self-care.
  • Three steps for building habits to strengthen your resilience: taking deep breaths, doing things that make you feel good each day, and recognising the importance of rest.
