What Is Group Hypnosis?

Rather than working exclusively with one person, a group hypnosis session guides multiple participants through the hypnotic process at the same time.

Participants may be encouraged to:

Relax.

Focus:

Their:

Attention.

Use:

Their:

Imagination.

Follow:

Suggestions.

And:

Become:

More:

Absorbed:

In:

The:

Experience.

But everyone remains an individual.

People don't necessarily experience hypnosis in exactly the same way or at the same depth.

Do You Lose Control During Group Hypnosis?

No.

Being part of a group doesn't mean surrendering control to the hypnotherapist.

You remain capable of:

Hearing.

Thinking.

Responding.

Moving.

And:

Making:

Your:

Own:

Choices.

You don't need to become unconscious for hypnosis to occur.

And you don't need to perform or react in the same way as anyone else in the group.

Stop Trying to Be Hypnotised

One of the biggest obstacles can be trying too hard.

Thinking:

“Is it happening yet?”

“Am I hypnotised enough?”

“Am I doing this correctly?”

That constant checking can distract you from the experience itself.

Instead:

Listen.

Follow.

Imagine.

And:

Allow:

Your:

Own:

Experience:

To:

Develop.

There's no competition to become the “most hypnotised” person in the room.

What Can Group Hypnosis Focus On?

Depending on the purpose of the session, hypnosis may be used as complementary support around areas such as:

• Relaxation

• Stress management

• Confidence

• Motivation

• Mindfulness

• Overthinking

• Personal development

• Performance

• Positive behavioural change

• General wellbeing

A group session is different from individual clinical hypnotherapy, where the approach can be more specifically tailored to one person's circumstances, goals and needs.

Group Hypnosis vs Individual Hypnotherapy

Group hypnosis can provide a shared introduction to hypnosis and general therapeutic suggestions relevant to the group's purpose.

Individual hypnotherapy allows greater personalisation.

For example, two people may both want greater confidence.

But:

One:

May:

Fear:

Public:

Speaking.

Another:

May:

Fear:

Social:

Judgement.

Their individual patterns can be very different.

That's where personalised hypnotherapy may be more appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Everyone Be Hypnotised in a Group?

People vary in how they experience and respond to hypnosis. There is no need to compare your experience with another participant's response.

Will I Be Made to Do Something Embarrassing?

Clinical group hypnosis doesn't need to resemble entertainment or stage hypnosis. Participants retain choice and should not be pressured into doing something they don't want to do.

Do I Need to Close My Eyes?

Not necessarily. Closing the eyes can make it easier for some people to focus internally, but hypnosis isn't dependent on having your eyes closed.

Is Group Hypnosis the Same as Therapy?

Not necessarily.

A general group hypnosis demonstration or meditation should not automatically be considered a substitute for individual medical, psychological or mental-health treatment.

Where appropriate, hypnotherapy should complement rather than replace professional healthcare.
