Hypnotherapy & it's purpose
Hypnotherapy is a type of mind-body intervention in which hypnosis is used to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility which focuses on personal growth, a sense of connection to our personal truth or relief from pain due to medical or psychological areas of concern.
Fusion Studio Qld is an organisation that aims to deliver learning and development for individuals and businesses seeking to thrive in the modern world. We apply psychotherapy, philosophical and therapeutic insights to individual needs: helping people understand the role that emotions and habits play in our personal and professional life, and endeavour to assist those ready to develop the skills and mindsets they need to initiate change and wholeheartedly operate in all areas of their lives.
To hear more about what we can do for you or yourself including inspiring content, exercises and thought pieces delivered straight to your inbox, you can sign up for our monthly newsletter, or connect with us on social media.

Hypnotherapy, Resilience and Change
Human beings are strong and yet vulnerable. There is no shame in being vulnerable, it comes with the territory. It's also the very reason we are strong. Acknowledging our vulnerability takes courage, acting on it takes strength. That gap that can form between vulnerability and strength is usually the reason we take action.
Action can take many forms, and utilising Hypnotherapy can be a major step in the right direction. The results will be tangible.
We are free spirits who battle with the necessity to survive and simultaneously create meaning in our lives. The world we have found ourselves in can at times make this process a bit of a conundrum. Hypnotherapy is an effective mediator between the two.

The Hypnotherapy Process -How does it work?
2. Session
Hypnotherapy sessions will typically go for an hour, during which Trish will provide you with the resources you need to further enhance your progress, through a state of trance.
Learn more about trance here.
Trish will guide you into a peaceful, relaxed and comfortable state, where you remain completely conscious and in control.
We will agree to be able to amplify and maintain focus on your goals, we typically set you up with a program to manage your progress. Habits, thoughts and behaviours can be difficult to interrupt. This is where Hypnotherapy comes in.
Be assured that we are completely non-judgmental in our approach and your confidentiality is of the utmost importance.
You can book either face-to-face or virtual online sessions through video chat. You can be anywhere in Australia and even the world and the results are just as effective. Cool Hey!
Steps:
Induction (Leading you into your natural trance/ meditative state) - Sugestability Testing (a practical, and physical demonstration of how hard your mind works to do your bidding - proof it is THERE FOR YOU! - Deepening trance (it's so lush!) - Mindful, achievable suggestions -
Bring you "back up" to a normal waking state
Our sessions are a means to an end, but not exactly in terms of the entirety of your own personal growth and progression, which inherently never ends, and for good reason. Sometimes growth can even mean simply letting go and accepting that you are enough (and more), and being able to sit back and watch yourself be awesome. but getting your cerebral cortex to accept that takes real work. The fun part about working with hypnotherapy is that the work doesn't feel like "work". It's not magic, but it just .. well .. works! If you plant a seed, what tends to happen? When you plant an intention and mean it, you will water that seed without hesitation or perceived effort.
We are complex, individual beings and these sessions will be personalised entirely to your needs and desires.
A hypnotherapist's work is concerned with guiding you through a process just like setting a destination in your own internal GPS system.

3. Follow up/ Subsequent Sessions and Results
We will schedule a time for a follow-up - a casual chat to understand your progress, ask for your feedback and answer any questions you may have.
In a subsequent session, we evaluate what change has occurred. The strategy then becomes reinforcing the change (or new behaviour) and making it stronger and stronger. The ultimate goal is to create a new automatic habit. This modality, or process, has many applications. Some honourable mentions include:
- Stress reduction
- Weight Control
- Smoking Cessation
- Pain Control
- Phobia's, Fears and Anxieties
- Headaches and Migraines
- Insomnia
... And the list goes on
as human beings, we also yearn to experience our lives from a place of giving and in turn receiving, as well as having an innate desire to experience belonging and playing our role in something much larger. we all have our own interpretations of what this means for us. We often find ourselves in a place of a type of 'limbo' between being authentic and being able to meet the challenges in our lives.
Read some of peoples stories and experiences on
Traditional hypnotherapy
The form of hypnotherapy practiced by most Victorian hypnotists, including James Braid and Hippolyte Bernheim, mainly employed direct suggestion of symptom removal, with some use of therapeutic relaxation and occasionally aversion to alcohol, drugs, etc.
Ericksonian hypnotherapy
In the 1950s, Milton H. Erickson developed a radically different approach to hypnotism, which has subsequently become known as "Ericksonian hypnotherapy" or "Neo-Ericksonian hypnotherapy." Based on his belief that dysfunctional behaviors were defined by social tension, Erickson coopted the subject's behaviour to establish rapport, a strategy he termed "utilization." Once rapport was established, he made use of an informal conversational approach to direct awareness. His methods included complex language patterns and client-specific therapeutic strategies (reflecting the nature of utilization). He claimed to have developed ways to suggest behavior changes during apparently ordinary conversation.
This divergence from tradition led some, including Andre Weitzenhoffer, to dispute whether Erickson was right to label his approach "hypnosis" at all. Erickson's foundational paper, however, considers hypnosis as a mental state in which specific types of "work" may be done, rather than a technique of induction.
The founders of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), a method somewhat similar in some regards to some versions of hypnotherapy, claimed that they had modelled the work of Erickson extensively and assimilated it into their approach.Weitzenhoffer disputed whether NLP bears any genuine resemblance to Erickson's work.
Solution-focused hypnotherapy
In the 2000s, hypnotherapists began to combine aspects of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) with Ericksonian hypnotherapy to produce therapy that was goal-focused (what the client wanted to achieve) rather than the more traditional problem-focused approach (spending time discussing the issues that brought the client to seek help). A solution-focused hypnotherapy session may include techniques from NLP. (What is NLP?)

Clinical & Meditative Hypnotherapy - A Spiritual and Quantum Approach
Clinical & Medative Hypnotherapy is based both on modern-day psychology and the ancient wisdom of meditation and self-awareness. We are talking about using tried and tested practices and processes which are becoming more widespread (as well as existing for eaons!) and used by many medical professionals today including doctors, therapists, counsellors and social workers.
The idea is to explore the full spectrum of mind-body-soul health at a higher level of human consciousness. The word "quantum" has been drawn from modern-day physics which is concerned with the interconnectedness of the natural, physical and mental spectrums of the human experience.
The structure of the process is the same, and can include other methodologies - it all depend of your flavour. The added bonus of incorporating a Meditative and Quantam approach is that we are able to access a deeper, more engaged, and more natural side of yourself, which is your true nature. DIscomfort can often come from being disengaged from your true nature in waking life, when experiencing circumstantial issues or habitual ways of living daily life.
Engaging with yourself in this way through hypnosis can have many health benefits beyond the initial issue at hand and can offer a way to wholehearted living.
Click on the image below to see how hypnotherapy integrates with modern-day psychology, spirituality and quality of life
(Consciousness) A state of concentration, awareness and/or focus that filters information and experience
(Psychology) A state of low response to stimulus and diminished, narrow attention (aka opening of the mind)
What is Trance?
In modern times and in a therapeutic setting trance is a state of mind that allows people to be able to access and explore their subconscious mind, which has great potential to enhance and manage troubling situations or symptoms from internal and external stressors. Furthermore, trance is also an experience within which people can improve their performance of skilled activities, and deepen their involvement and enjoyment in common activities.
What is Meditation?
Meditation is a practice in which an individual uses a technique – such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state, or to simply clear the mind, and just be.
What is the link?
Both are altered states of complete consciousness, awareness and relaxation aimed at experiencing inner peace and wisdom. Both have the ability to problem solve at our very core level, avoiding interuption and dissonance. Most importantly, it is about the heart/ mind conncection which are the always the empires of every thing we do!
What is NLP?
NLP (Nero-linguistic programming) combines theories, models and techniques from a range of scientific and esoteric fields, to create accessible, understandable ‘tools’ which can be used by individuals, teams and organisations and applied in a variety of contexts to improve outcomes, support wellbeing and create change. Much like hypnotherapy, it is used to bring about changes in people's unwanted thoughts and behaviours, however, NLP operates on the level of the conscious mind with the use of language to achieve results. It can be used in conjunction with hypnotherapy in order to strengthen the process of change and get faster results.
Common Misconception
Some people are of the misleading belief that being in the state of trance or hypnosis can lead someone into a state of "being under control" of the hypnotist. This is simply not true. A hypnotist plays only a role as a guide. A hypnotist (or hypnotherapist) is not able to instil any suggestions into their client's subconscious that goes against the client's will, ethics or moral values. If that were the case, both the conscious and subconscious mind will simply reject it. Some people may fear that being under hypnosis may lead to them inadvertently divulging personal information, as if under the influence of something like drugs or alcohol. However, since hypnosis is a state of pure awareness, peace, relaxation and calmness this simply cannot happen. It is the therapist's duty to create a repour with the client, based on trust, and once this is established is promises to be a wonderful experience, both physically a mentally. Almost like having a brain massage! (Figuratively speaking)
Our Hypnotherapist
Hi, I'm Trish!
Trish has had a solid interest in Hypnotherapy and Psychology since she was knee-high to a grasshopper. She has actively been studying it along with Therapeutic Counselling, and throwing in a bit of Sound Healing, for 10+ years. It all started when she was working as an Executive Assistant for an international IT firm. She excelled at her job at the time but she has always had a great longing to observe and help people to grow and heal, and while she knew she was having a positive impact on those around her (directly or indirectly), she knew she needed to take it to the next level. She lives in Brisbane, Australia.
You can watch a quick clip of Trish briefly talking about Hypnotherapy sessions in this short video.
do something today that your future self will thank you for.
Our actions and decisions today will shape the way we will be living in the future.
Trish has successfully completed Australian accredited courses such as Business, business administration and human resource management. She has obtained an advanced diploma in psychology through a UK based training organisation and She has many years of experience working across industries ranging from finance, information technology, registered training organisations, emergency services and other government organisations in Australia and the united kingdom. she tells us the following:
"I am ever so grateful to have experienced such a varied and interesting mix of work and my roles within them. It has led me to gain a very unique insight into different industries, and more importantly, their people: Their successes, their struggles and their personalities. so many of the people i come into contact with, however seemingly menial or profound these interactions may be, taught me everything i know today. i am constantly fascinated by the way people act, communicate, think, feel and cultivate resilience"
This led to Trish colliding with the world of hypnotherapy. She is a member of the Australian Hypnotherapy Association and continues to expand on her studies through approved governing bodies as new research into the techniques involved continues to evolve.
She has a holistic approach to therapy. you can learn more about the history of hypnotherapy, its ties to modern-day psychology and its benefits here to give you a better idea of what it's really all about.
trish's studies have been mostly centred around the Erikson hypnotherapy methodology, (Read more here) however, the beautiful thing about hypnotherapy is that practitioners can draw on different methods, depending on their client's needs. Its fundamental purpose and the results remain the same.
As she continues to learn, her attention has come to a form of hypnotherapy we now know as Clinical & mediative hypnotherapy. Learn more about the similarities and differences between the state of trance and meditation here.

In some Islamic societies you would never bring a sick person flowers and candies as we do in this country. Instead, you would tell them a story of patience, endurance, and triumph. The images such a tale would plant in their awareness would circulate through their souls just as powerfully as a medicinal elixir would travel to the diseased cells by way of the bloodstream. The more the story is considered, the more it can empower the body's own healing mechanisms.
