In my hypnotherapy practice, I have found that recording sessions is a powerful way of continuing therapy once the in-person session is over. It is very possible that positive changes can be experienced in just one session, but often, reprogramming old unwanted habits, thoughts and feelings, can take time. I often use the metaphor of learning to tie your shoe laces. Yes, progress can be made in just one session, but repetitive and continual practice means that the learning is saved subconsciously. It becomes another automated program in your mind. As an adult, when you tie your laces, you most likely do it without even a conscious thought. That's classic self-hypnosis in action!

Translating this way of learning to emotional issues, isn't quite the leap of imagination you might think. Instead of learning to tie a knot, you're instead learning to react differently to a situation. Take the example of somebody who doesn't want to feel anxious doing presentations at work. Using the power of hypnosis, they simply proceed to tell their subconscious mind that they can feel relaxed, confident and focused in these situations. Just like the shoe laces, this learning needs to become part of the auto-pilot, yet another pattern stored in the mind.

This is why I think recording sessions is vital. Not only do my clients get to experience the hypnosis in-person, but I use high-quality microphones to record sessions, making sure that therapy can be enjoyed and practiced at home. With repetition and practice, goals can be reached much quicker (and with much less of a financial burden) compared to having to continually book in with me on a regular basis.

Along with the sessions and the recordings, I also include the background music, which I've composed and recorded. I think that the right relaxing music can complement the impact of the therapy.

I'm continually trying to improve the quality of the recordings and hope to provide a better experience for my clients.
