Join Certified Hypnotherapist Bridget O’Connor for a 2 part Self Hypnosis workshop

Hypnosis is a pleasant, relaxed, natural state; one we have all experienced many times whether we are aware of it or not. Regardless of what you may have heard or seen on TV and movies or read in novels, hypnotic trance is not unconsciousness. No one can be made to accept any suggestions that they don’t like or don’t choose to accept. You are always at ease and in control. When we choose to use hypnosis intentionally, it is a powerful and effective tool to achieve positive personal change.

Self hypnosis can help you to-

  • Change, update, and transform limiting beliefs, thought patterns, or behaviors
  • Create new habits
  • Support you in reaching desired goals
  • Improve sleep
  • Lower stress and anxiety
  • Improve memory
  • Increase focus and concentration
  • Improve athletic performance
  • Learn a new skill or language


And there are benefits far beyond specific goals. When you realize this ability, when you utilize it and see clear results, there is often a major shift in how you see yourself. You gain greater ease when navigating new and challenging situations. You more easily update old “programming” that isn’t serving you now. Because you are keenly and comfortably aware that you can. Gil Boyne, a master hypnosis trainer and pioneer of modern hypnotherapy, referred to self hypnosis as a “key to your inner power”. Once you become familiar with the techniques of self hypnosis, it is a tool that can serve you for a lifetime.

In this small group workshop you will learn about hypnosis, how to hypnotize yourself, and to write effective suggestions to accomplish a specific goal. We will meet in two sessions, one week apart. This gives participants time to learn and practice simply going in and out of hypnosis. (I use this method as my regular meditation practice, often without a particular goal.) In our second session I will provide guidelines as well as individual recommendations as you write your own personalized suggestions and a key phrase to accomplish a chosen goal.


Each session includes useful grounding and relaxation techniques, interactive learning activities, informative lecture, and a group hypnosis experience. After each class, many participants report feeling relaxed and energized.


The workshop is a fun, unique experience. Hypnosis is a tool, a bridge to connect you to your own subconscious, so you arrive already equipped. All techniques and guidelines I share in the workshop are provided in a binder for you to keep, no need to take copious notes or try to remember all the details.


I look forward to sharing the gift of self hypnosis with you!

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to bring anything?

I suggest bringing a yoga mat, neck pillow, a light blanket or whatever might make you most comfortable for the group hypnosis portion of the workshop. Folks are welcome to go into hypnosis seated or lying down, but yoga mats are not provided at this venue.

Will I have to take notes?

A binder with all course materials is provided, so no need to take notes unless you choose to. Paper and pens are also provided for those who want to take notes.

Is it important to attend both sessions?

Yes. Each session provides different information and instruction to help you create your own self hypnosis practice.

It says ages 16+ may attend. Do I need parental permission if I am under 18?

Yes. People 16 and up may attend the workshop, but anyone under 18 must provide parental permission.

Organized by

My goal with these online events is to share some of the simple, powerful tools and techniques I’ve learned over the years to help people connect in to the inner resources of their amazing body and mind, tapping into greater function, engagement, and a sense of wholeness and wellbeing. Many of the techniques I use most often with clients help interrupt patterns and cycles of anxiety and stress by accessing their body/mind connection and regulating their nervous system. (Remember, “regulated” doesn’t only mean calm or “Zen”. It means you have access to your full range and can respond in ways that are appropriate, helpful, and supportive to whatever you’re navigating now.) These online sessions feature some of my go-to techniques that I share with my clients and use in my own life. I hope you’ll join me!
