Alasana Hypnotherapy

Alasana Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapist and Yoga teacher. A Member Australian Hypnotherapist Association. These develop into beliefs and patterns that have the power to rule your life.

Alison is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist and is a national Board Member of the Australian Hypnotherapists' Association. Hypnotherapy allows us to have conversation with your unconscious mind, embedding suggestions that will allow you to think, act and feel differently to how you do now. Everything you have ever heard, everything that you have ever experienced, everything that has e

ver been said to you, all gets stored in your unconscious mind. Hypnotherapy will allow you to release patterns, or beliefs, that no longer serve you in your life. We can help you to release negative emotions, weight, anxiety and depression, become a non smoker, stop addictive behaviours and start to lead your ultimate life.

Lesson 2681 The Trolley metaphor.

There is a famous thought experiment called the Trolley Problem.

A runaway trolley is heading towards five people. You can do nothing and allow it to continue, or pull a lever and divert it onto another track where it will hit one person.

There is no perfect answer. Only a choice.

And that is often true in life.

Do I stay or do I leave? Do I keep going or do I let go? Do I choose what others want, or what is right for me?

Sometimes growth is accepting that there is no perfect option and trusting yourself to make the decision that aligns with your values.

Life is not about avoiding difficult choices.

It is about having the courage to make them.

Lesson 2680 The gloves are on.

Ten years ago, my Facebook status update read:

"Ok Universe, that is enough."

At the time, life felt hard. Every challenge felt personal. Every setback felt unfair. Every obstacle came with the question:

"Why is this happening to me?"

Today, my status update would be very different.

"Ok Universe, bring it on."

Not because life has become easier.

It hasn't.

There have been losses, disappointments, health challenges, difficult decisions, heartbreak, uncertainty and change.

What has changed is me.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped asking, "Why is this happening to me?" and started asking, "What can I learn from this?"

That simple shift changed everything.

Every challenge became an opportunity to grow.
Every setback became a lesson.
Every difficult season became proof that I could survive more than I thought I could.

Hypnotherapy has taught me that we don't always get to choose what happens to us, but we do get to choose the meaning we give it.

Today, I trust myself more than I ever have.

So, Universe...

Bring it on. I am ready.

Lesson 2679 It's ok to Change.

One of the most important things I have learned is that what worked for me yesterday may not work for me today.

The routines, relationships, habits and ways of thinking that once supported us can eventually become the very things that hold us back.

And that's okay.

Growth is not about staying loyal to old versions of ourselves. Growth is about listening when something no longer fits.

It is okay to say, "This isn't working for me anymore."

It is okay to change your mind.

It is okay to choose differently.

Sometimes we keep doing things simply because we've always done them. We keep saying yes because we said yes before. We keep carrying responsibilities that no longer belong to us because we feel guilty putting them down.

But life changes. We change.

Through hypnotherapy, I often see people discover that they are living by rules they created years ago. Rules designed to keep them safe, accepted or loved. The problem is those old rules may no longer serve the person they are today.

You are allowed to update the story.

You are allowed to create new boundaries.

You are allowed to choose what works for you now.

The person you are becoming deserves that freedom.

Lesson 2678

Lying on my bed this afternoon, watching the storm roll in, I was reminded of something important.

No matter how turbulent, dark or grey life seems, it is not permanent.

The wind howls.
The rain falls.
The clouds gather.

And for a while it can feel like the storm will never end.

But storms always pass.

The sky clears.
The sun returns.
And somehow the world looks a little different afterwards.

Life is much the same.

The difficult seasons.
The heartbreak.
The uncertainty.
The grief.
The fear.

They can feel all-consuming when we are in them. Yet every challenge I have faced in my life has eventually moved through. Not because I forced it away, but because nothing stays the same forever.

One of the things I have learnt through hypnotherapy is that our minds often convince us that how we feel right now is how we will feel forever.

It isn't.

Feelings change.
Circumstances change.
People change.
We change.

So if you find yourself in the middle of a storm today, perhaps your only job is to remember that it is a season, not a destination.

The clouds will pass.

Lesson 2677 Rose and Ginny.

There was a time when every big decision in my life involved Rose and Ginny.

Rose, as in wine.
Ginny, as in gin.

I'd pour a drink and convince myself I was thinking things through.

Then I would pour another and another.
But alcohol never gave me clarity. It simply delayed the moment I had to listen to myself.

Tomorrow I am 14 months sober.

Now, when a difficult decision arrives, I sit with it.

I listen.

I trust that I already know what I need to do.

Hypnotherapy helped me reconnect with that inner wisdom. The part of me that is capable, resilient and knows the answer before fear gets involved.

These days I don't ask Rose or Ginny.

I ask me.

And surprisingly, she gives pretty good advice.

Lesson 2676. My needs matter too.

I think I've discovered one of my core beliefs.

Not that I'm not good enough.

Not that I'm unlovable.

Simply this:

"My needs don't matter."

And when you believe that, you spend your life looking after everyone else while quietly abandoning yourself.

For years I thought being a good person meant putting everyone else first.

Making sure everyone was okay.

Making sure everyone was happy.

Making sure everyone had what they needed.

What I didn't realise was that somewhere along the way, I had stopped asking myself what I needed.

And when you live from the belief that your needs don't matter, you can end up exhausted, resentful and running on empty.

The shift isn't to become selfish.

The shift is to recognise that your needs matter too.

Your need for rest.

Your need for peace.

Your need for support.

Your need to say no.

Your need to take up space.

Because when your cup is empty, eventually you have nothing left to give.

Today, my affirmation is simple:

My needs matter too.

Lesson 2675 The wake up.

One morning you wake up and everything just makes sense.

The noise is gone. The overthinking has stopped. The confusion has lifted.

You know what you need to do.

Not because someone gave you the answer.

Not because all the risks disappeared.

But because, deep down, you already knew.

This is what I see so often in hypnotherapy.

People come looking for answers, but usually the answer is already there.

Buried beneath fear. Doubt. Old beliefs. Other people's expectations.

When those layers begin to fall away, something remarkable happens.

Clarity emerges.

The decision becomes obvious.

And with that decision comes peace.

Not because life has changed overnight.

But because you have stopped fighting what you know to be true.

Lesson 2674

There is a lot of talk these days about "doing the things you don't want to do." Well it is not just now days. My mother ALWAYS said "sometimes we have to do what we don't want to" but do we?

Push harder.
Get uncomfortable.
Force yourself through it.

Sometimes that advice is helpful.

But sometimes it isn't growth.

Sometimes it is self-abandonment.

Sometimes it is ignoring your body's wisdom, your intuition, your values, or your limits because someone else has convinced you that transformation only comes through suffering.

Real transformation is not abuse.

If someone is pushing you to do something that feels deeply wrong for you, shaming you when you say no, or telling you that your healing depends on crossing your own boundaries, that isn't empowerment.

It is control.

Growth can feel uncomfortable.

Healing can feel challenging.

Change can require courage.

But none of those things require you to betray yourself.

The question is not, "Can I force myself to do this?"

The question is, "Is this aligned with who I am becoming?"

The most powerful transformation often happens when you learn to trust yourself enough to know the difference.

Lesson 2673. How Hypnotherapy Helped Me

People often ask me how I became a hypnotherapist.

The truth is, I became a client first.

There was a time in my life when I felt stuck. No matter how hard I tried, I kept finding myself back in the same patterns.

Hypnotherapy helped me understand that lasting change doesn't come from willpower alone. It comes from working with the subconscious mind, where our habits, beliefs and behaviours are stored.

Through hypnotherapy I lost weight, stopped smoking, built confidence and changed the way I thought about myself.

Then, just over 14 months ago, hypnotherapy helped me complete what felt like the final piece of the puzzle.

I stopped drinking.

Not because I had hit rock bottom.

Not because anyone made me.

Simply because I wanted something different for myself.

That experience was so powerful that I went on to study hypnotherapy and have now spent years helping others create their own transformations.

Sometimes the thing that changes your life becomes the thing you're meant to share with the world.
