Exploring Hypnotherapy: A Path Beyond Health Anxiety with Steve Woods

In this episode, I introduce a conversation for anyone struggling with health anxiety as I sit down with hypnotherapist Steve Woods to explore how hypnosis can support anxiety recovery.

Steve shares how he got into hypnosis and explains it as a natural state of high focus that we all experience. He reassures us that most people can be hypnotised, and that stray thoughts or distractions don’t stop the process from working.

We dive into the role of the subconscious mind, particularly how its core function is protection, which can sometimes misfire and trigger unnecessary fight-or-flight responses. This is especially relevant in health anxiety, where focusing on symptoms or turning to “Dr Google” can amplify fear.

Steve explains how hypnotherapy works by bypassing conscious doubt and creating new, emotionally grounded patterns, often focusing on the future rather than revisiting the past. We also touch on how hypnosis can support pain reduction when used appropriately.

One of the key takeaways is that you don’t have to fully “believe” in hypnosis for it to work, but you do need to want change. Steve shares that many clients see measurable progress within 3–4 sessions and learn anchoring techniques to maintain that progress.

You can find Steve by searching “Steve Woods hypnotist” or on Instagram @SteveHypnosis.
