Episode 139: De-Hypnotising Fear, Fertility Beliefs & Subconscious Suggestions

Have you ever been hypnotised by your doctor?

As a fertility hypnotherapist, people often assume my job is to hypnotise you.

But in truth?

Much of my work is about de-hypnotising you.

De-hypnotising you from fear. From inherited beliefs. From “false evidence appearing real.”

Because fear is powerful. And when you’re trying to conceive — especially if you’ve been through IVF, loss, or medical trauma — it’s very easy to absorb suggestions that don’t actually belong to you.

In this episode, I explore:

How subconscious beliefs shape fertility anxiety
The subtle ways medical authority can influence decision-making
Why not every thought you think is truly yours
How hypnotherapy can gently untangle fear-based programming

I share stories of clients I’ve helped de-hypnotise from:

Phobias of general anaesthetic
Fear of needles and medical professionals
And yes… even frogs

(Stay with me on that one.)

I also go off on a slightly unexpected tangent about MrBeast Games — and the fascinating psychology of suggestion when contestants are deciding how much prize money to keep versus leave for others.

Because suggestion is everywhere.

The real question is:

Are the decisions you’re making about your fertility based on your own grounded inner knowing… Or are they influenced by something a doctor, fertility expert or online authority once said — that may not actually be the best course of action for you?

This episode is an invitation to pause. To question. To gently reclaim your own voice.

Please note: I am not medically trained. The examples I share are intended to inspire reflection and help you explore your own thought patterns and beliefs. Always consult your doctor or qualified medical professional for personalised advice and guidance.

If you’re navigating fertility anxiety, IVF decisions or medical fear, this conversation will help you understand how powerful your subconscious mind really is — and how you can begin to work with it, rather than against it.
