Is your own mind working against you?
In this session, hypnotherapist Mark Stubbles explains why most of what we call “chronic anxiety” is actually a state of covert self-hypnosis. Most people think of hypnosis as a stage show, but the real version is a subtle state of focused attention where your critical mind steps aside, allowing negative suggestions to go straight into the subconscious.
When you are stressed, your focus narrows and you enter what Mark calls the “Trance of Terror.” In this state, every “What if?” becomes a powerful post-hypnotic suggestion that your brain treats as a physical reality.
In this episode, we explore:
Future Pacing in Reverse: Why your brain can’t distinguish between an imagined failure and a real event.
The Identity Trap: How the language you use (e.g., “I have anxiety”) turns a passing wave into a permanent object.
The Reticular Activating System: Why your morning “negative mantra” is literally ordering a bad day from the menu of your mind.
Pattern Interrupts: Three practical steps to break the physical loop and de-hypnotize yourself instantly.
