Research Findings on Blended Hypnotherapy
A recent study published in the *International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis* examined the effectiveness of integrating cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques with hypnotherapy in managing anxiety disorders. The study involved a group of participants with diagnosed anxiety disorders, divided into two groups: one receiving standalone hypnotherapy and the other receiving hypnotherapy combined with CBT and other techniques.
Key findings of the study include:
Significant Reduction in Anxiety Symptoms: Participants in the Blended Hypnotherapy group experienced a 45% reduction in anxiety symptoms compared to a 30% reduction in the standalone hypnotherapy group.
Longer-Term Benefits: The Blended Hypnotherapy group maintained improvements for up to six months after treatment.
Higher Engagement and Compliance: Participants reported higher engagement levels due to the variety of therapeutic techniques.
These results demonstrate that Blended Hypnotherapy, is more effective than standalone hypnotherapy in reducing anxiety symptoms and promoting long-term mental health.
What Makes Blended Hypnotherapy Unique

Create a Routine:
Set aside ‘you-time’ daily to listen to the recordings.
Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed.
Listen, engage in the process and believe that it will work. It’s ok to fall asleep as the subconscious mind is doing the hard work for you.
Pair with Relaxation Techniques:
Practice deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation before listening to get you in a relaxed state.

Stay Consistent:
If possible, listen to your recording daily for at least two weeks for optimal results.
Track your progress to identify improvements over time.
