Are You Being Brainwashed? Watch Out For This Insanely Effective (Yet Oh-So-Simple) Brainwashing Technique!

One of the common misconceptions about hypnosis is that it’s similar to (or actually is) brainwashing. In fact, the question ‘is hypnosis brainwashing’ is a commonly-searched Google query, which just goes to show how many people are concerned that hypnotists or hypnotherapists are attempting to hack their brains and control their minds. Firstly, I want to make it clear that I’m not here to brainwash anyone! The type of hypnosis I offer at Coaching Hypnosis isn’t a form of brainwashing at all - it’s about influencing your patterns and behaviours so you can make better, healthier decisions that align with your goals. I don’t have control over your mind, nor can I force you to do anything you don’t want to do. But the idea of brainwashing certainly captures people’s attention. So I thought it would be interesting to explore this concept and shine a light on just how simple brainwashing actually is. Far from being something that can only happen if you’re unconscious or semi-conscious (like in a hypnotic state), brainwashing can occur on a much more subtle level simply through having a conversation with someone.
