For CBT-trained psychologists

Familiar foundations, with hypnosis built in

Hypno-CBT® is a cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy that uses hypnosis within a CBT framework. Hypnosis is understood as focused attention, expectation, motivation and imaginative absorption. There’s no special trance state involved, and the work doesn’t rely on a Freudian unconscious.

Problems are formulated by what keeps them going now. With clients, you teach new ways of thinking, approaching instead of avoiding, regulating emotion and solving problems. Hypnosis and mindfulness help clients rehearse those skills vividly.

If you know Beck, Wells, Meichenbaum, Wolpe, Jacobson, Hayes and Kabat-Zinn, you already know the foundations we build on.

What the research says

Adding hypnosis to CBT improves outcomes, and the gain lasts

72%

At follow-up, the average client who had CBT with hypnosis did better than 72% of clients who had CBT alone.

Ramondo, Gignac, Pestell & Byrne (2021), updated meta-analysis: 48 comparisons at post-treatment (N = 1,928) and 25 at follow-up (N = 1,165).

60 to 66%

At the end of treatment, the average CBT-with-hypnosis client did better than 60 to 66% of CBT-only clients (2021), with clear gains for low mood and pain.

At least 70%

The figure from the first meta-analysis, Kirsch, Montgomery & Sapirstein (1995). The 2021 follow-up result closely matches it.

The detail, for those who want it

Ramondo et al. (2021) report Cohen’s d of .25 to .41 at post-treatment and .54 to .59 at follow-up. The percentages above convert d into the share of CBT-only clients the average CBT-with-hypnosis client outperformed. The follow-up advantage was strongest for weight loss. These studies looked at CBT combined with hypnosis in general, not trials of Hypno-CBT® itself. The 1995 weight-loss results were re-analysed in 1996 (Allison & Faith), which found a smaller effect for that subset.
