Beyond the Trance: The Lasting Power of Post-Hypnotic Suggestion | NZACH Talk Time with Meredith McCarthy
What really happens after a hypnotherapy session? In this episode of Talk Time, Clinical Hypnotherapist and NZACH Founder Meredith McCarthy dives into one of the most powerful tools in the hypnotherapist’s toolbox: post-hypnotic suggestion.
✨ Discover how a single suggestion—crafted with care—can ripple into everyday life long after the session ends. Meredith shares real-world examples from her clinical practice, including:
- How to help clients shift habits like smoking, procrastination, and emotional eating
- Using post-hypnotic anchors for sleep, motivation, and confidence
- How to ethically create suggestions using the client’s own words and inner goals
- What to avoid when a client isn’t ready—and why consent is key
- And how to troubleshoot when a suggestion doesn’t quite land
Whether you're a student of hypnotherapy, a practising therapist, or simply curious about how change really happens beneath the surface—this episode is packed with insight, storytelling, and practical wisdom.
