Each Saturday morning at 0740 on Weekend Breakfast we focus on an area of 'wellness' - health, relationships, mental health, career, home - it's all about practicing healthy habits to attain better physical and mental health outcomes.
We all have things that we don't like or that worry us --- it could be about spiders or snakes ... or about presenting your ideas to colleagues at work --- for example.
And for most of us, these are things we deal with and just get on with our lives.
But when something we are fearful of becomes so severe that it causes tremendous anxiety, it can start interfering with the way we live our lives.
The good news is that there are ways to help you deal with your fears or phobias and get you back on track, and one way is through hypnosis.
So, today we're joined by life coach and hypnosis practitioner, Bennie Louw.
He's in private practice in Cape Town and is passionate about helping people to use their minds more effectively. He also does leadership and group training for corporate clients.
What is happening to our brains when we're hypnotised?
