Me again therapy
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural and relaxed state which is part of everyday life, when you drive home and arrive without realising how you have got there, or perhaps when watching the TV, you don’t hear a family member talking to you. These are natural states of hypnosis you have already experienced.
​
Hypnosis is best described as a highly focused state of attention where behaviours, thoughts and beliefs can change through direct or indirect suggestions. Whilst your day to day decisions are made consciously, your values and habits are stored in the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy allows you to access your subconscious mind and update your beliefs which no longer serve a purpose and make positive changes in your life.
​
Hypnotherapists make suggestions aligned with your goals. If the suggestion suits you, you are likely to accept the suggestion subconsciously. And because it is done on a subconscious level it becomes automatically rather than having to consciously repeat it so it eventually becomes a subconscious belief, habit or thought.
​
For example; If you are offered the suggestion below, because this something that you want, you’ll accept the suggestion.
​
‘You will no longer feel anxious, in fact taking a few deep breaths every hour can help you to feel in control of your mind and reduce anxiety. Sooner or later you'll notice more and more how well you can cope with everyday experiences simply by noticing how well you are doing.

How to work with me
Client Stories
Online Anxiety Support
Jodie worked well with me to establish what I wanted to get out of the sessions and what my goals were. I was initially a little hesitant about the support being offered online rather than face to face but receiving support in my own home in a room that I feel comfortable in was really relaxing. Jodie was very easy to talk to and feel comfortable with.
As the sessions progressed, new challenges and anxieties appeared in my life and Jodie was able to make changes to the sessions to deal with new challenges I was facing. I found this useful and feel that I am now in a much better place, both at home and at work.
​
Anxiety Management
To anyone thinking that they might benefit from this support I would highly recommend hypnotherapy as an alternative therapy. It has given me tools to manage my own anxieties better and given me confidence to feel that I can manage any other challenges that I might face more successfully.
My partner has commented throughout my hypnotherapy journey that he can see a change in me and can see me being more able to manage my own anxieties better and have been calmer and more relaxed both in and out of work.

Anxiety/Confidence Client
Well what can I say? It’s been an interesting journey that I have been taken on. I can’t say that I 100% believe that it’s worked but then in the next breath I feel a lot calmer in stressful situations. The feeling of hypnotherapy was one of pre-sleep for me, I could fully hear everything that was being said and react when asked, I was aware if I wasn’t comfortable and could readjust myself if needed but didn’t quite find in necessary. I would be relaxed in my chair listening but feeling a calm but heavy feeling in my body which prevented me from moving or wanting to move. All very unusual but you get used to it very quickly.
​
Jodie spent time explaining every aspect of the journey and recapping the following week. She has made me look at situations differently and even provided me with self help that I can share with my family too.
​
I went into this experience open minded but with the thought in the back of my head whether or not would it work. I can categorically say ‘well something did!’
​
I would highly recommend hypnosis for people that want to explore their options of self help without medication.
Work Anxiety Client
I have just completed my hypnotherapy sessions with Jodie at Me again therapy and I have loved and looked forward to every single session.
Each week the sessions have each got better and I have learnt various techniques throughout which I have used over the past weeks and will continue to use in the future.
Today was my last session and even though I am disappointed that I will not be seeing Jodie during weekly as I have enjoyed them so much, but I am so proud and thankful of the progress that Jodie has helped me to make.
Anxiety/Confidence Client
I had anxiety which was a lot bigger than I even knew! I chose to go to Me Again Therapy as a friend recommended it to me.
I honestly don’t know how the problem was solved. I think it was through working on my self belief but also changing the images in my head and being in control of my thoughts. The sessions were all very unique and tailored to me.
To summarise my experience as a whole would be mind blowing, sometimes I reflect on how far I have come and can’t even remember most of my anxieties. I would definitely recommend Me Again Therapy and already have! I didn’t know it was possible to reduce my anxiety so much.
Loss of Control Client
I had an overwhelming sense of being lost, and completely out of control, the only way I could describe the way I was feeling was SAD. I looked okay and I'm sure my work colleagues would have not been able to guess how I was feeling as I put on my happy mask every day, although that seemed to be getting harder and harder.
​
I was recommended Jodie as someone who could help, I was a bit sceptical, would this work for me. I had tried hypnotherapy a few years back, so why would this be any different, however I had nothing to lose.
​
The session provided me with a safe space to talk about the issues I felt I had. Jodie has a beautiful, kind way of asking questions about the messages we all tell ourselves every day, I did not feel judged or patronised, it was just a conversation. Which identified areas which Jodie picked up on and tailored each session accordingly.
​
This experience, I feel, has made me feel more positive about myself and enjoy feeling like me again.
