If you are considering using a hypnosis session, then you would probably like to know about the values and background of the people that created it. So read on…

Hypnosis Downloads is run by Uncommon Knowledge, a specialist psychology training company since 1995.

At Uncommon Knowledge, we believe strongly in common sense psychology, and base our approach on the belief that human beings have a set of ‘primal needs‘ which when unmet can lead to psychological and physical problems.

All of the sessions at Hypnosis Downloads have been created by Roger Elliott and Mark Tyrrell, the directors of Uncommon Knowledge, with help from our team, particularly Joe Kao and Rebekah Hall.

Why we are different

Not all hypnosis is the same, and some is downright peculiar. But we work hard to ensure our psychology is sensible and research-supported, plus we have 5 main points of difference…

1. 4 experienced therapy brains work on every session. And we work very hard to ensure every session is a work of art.
2. We’re experienced therapist trainers – formed in 1995 we’ve trained over 24,000 people since then at face-to-face events.
3. We’ve served over 600,000 self hypnosis audio sessions and are the biggest hypnosis provider in the world.
4. Between our team of 4 hypnotherapists, we have treated over 5,000 patients in personal 1:1 therapy.
5. Over 600,000 people have taken our email courses since 2000 when we launched our online business.

I hope that’s convinced you that you’re in the right place! We are in constant communication with our customers, so please feel free to get in touch with us by email, on Facebook or Twitter.

Ethics first

The Internet is awash with web sites which offer hypnosis products and services that have not been created by experienced professionals, nor are they based on current research-based practices. Some of these programs are of limited or no use, while others may do more harm than good.

At Hypnosis Downloads we work within our strict ethical guidelines to ensure that every program meets the highest professional standards, based on current research and knowledge. We also use our knowledge of what hypnosis is good for to guide the topics we address.

We will only develop sessions for things that:

1. We have successfully treated ourselves
2. Or for which there is research supporting the effective use of hypnosis
3. And which common sense says hypnosis could practically help (for example, there is no link that we can see between the use of hypnosis and growing taller, although you will find products that claim to do this!)

Why we use hypnosis

At Uncommon Knowledge we use hypnosis among other psychological tools, because it is part of our birth-right as human beings, and the keystone of any learning process. Without it, or through its unintentional mis-use, therapeutic attempts can be difficult, protracted and can even make the situation worse instead of better.

Emotional problems work much more on the “feeling level” than the “thinking level” which is why just trying to think differently is so hard when trying to lift, for example, panic attacks or feelings of low self worth or phobias. We use hypnosis to help you feel different quickly which then makes you think differently about a situation. This is a much easier and more natural way of lifting problems. But we also understand that people are not just ‘hypnotic’ which is why our sessions also address thinking styles and how to change them and encourage healthy behaviour in the future.

About the researchers and creators behind our programs

Mark and Roger, in addition to delivering therapy training, used to run a busy hypnotherapy and psychotherapy practice in Brighton, England, where they delivered brief, solution-focused treatment for a wide range of psychological problems ranging from clinical depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks and OCD to self confidence, public speaking confidence, exam and driving test nerves and more.

Their strict adherence to research-based approaches has made Uncommon Knowledge a leader in the field of hypnotherapy, with places on their year-long practitioners’ course much in demand (now supplanted by online therapy courses for practitioners and online hypnosis courses for the public).
