Introducing Branchwork Hypnosis™

---

What Is Branchwork Hypnosis?

Branchwork Hypnosis™ is a structured yet intuitive framework that uses guided metaphor and subconscious decision-making to deliver deeply personalised therapeutic experiences. Developed by Mark at Reeves Rewired, this approach blends classical hypnotherapy principles with a modern narrative model, allowing clients to choose a “branch” from different metaphorical pathways during trance, each leading to meaningful insight, healing, or behavioural change.

Unlike traditional scripts that follow a single fixed arc, Branchwork Hypnosis introduces subtle decision points that let the client’s subconscious select the route most resonant with their needs in that moment. Each pathway ultimately converges toward the same therapeutic outcome, yet the journey feels unique, empowering, and self-directed. This sense of personal choice reinforces safety, agency, and deeper subconscious engagement.

Client-Centred by Design

Rooted in the humanistic work of Carl Rogers, the strategic approach of Milton Erickson, and the evidence-based insights of Michael Yapko, Branchwork Hypnosis™ places the client’s subconscious preferences at the heart of each session.

Built on Choice and Safety

By offering therapeutic options within trance, through gentle ideomotor cues, or verbal responses , clients participate in their own healing process without leaving the hypnotic state.

Deeper Emotional Investment

Drawing on narrative psychology and metaphor therapy, Branchwork’s choice-based storytelling increases emotional resonance, helping change to be not only suggested, but felt.

Branchwork Hypnosis is particularly effective for:

• Clients with multiple interconnected concerns (e.g., stress, sleep, confidence) where a single linear script may not address everything.
   
• Individuals who need autonomy and safety in therapy, such as trauma-informed or neuro-divergent clients.
   
• Professional hypnotherapists seeking a modern, flexible model that enhances traditional techniques and fosters creative, client-led change work.
   

Whether exploring a tranquil greenhouse of pathways for healing, a corridor of doors that lead to rooms of insight, or a walled garden that mirrors self-growth Branchwork Hypnosis™ adapts to the session’s needs without losing depth or structure.

Clients may encounter three symbolic paths, each emotionally safe and therapeutically precise. Using ideomotor signalling or intuitive guidance, they choose the direction their subconscious feels most ready to explore. Each choice strengthens rapport with the deeper mind and ensures every journey remains structured, purposeful, and outcome-driven.

To complement the Branchwork Hypnosis™ framework, Reeves Rewired developed the Deck of Doors™ a tangible tool for initiating subconscious choice before trance begins.

Each of the 56 illustrated oracle cards depicts a unique doorway, gate, or threshold, symbolising a possible therapeutic pathway. Before hypnosis, clients intuitively select one or more cards, allowing their subconscious to guide the direction of the session.

This pre-trance ritual turns the abstract into the experiential. The chosen door becomes the visual anchor for their hypnotic journey, an external reflection of the inner path they are about to walk.

For practitioners, the Deck of Doors™ offers:

• A powerful rapport-building tool that engages clients’ intuition.
   
• A seamless bridge between conversation and trance work.
   
• A creative, adaptable way to personalise every session without rewriting scripts.
   

Its versatility makes it valuable across modalities: hypnotherapy, counselling, NLP, mindfulness, and integrative coaching, all benefit from a structured yet intuitive entry point into the subconscious mind.

Branchwork Hypnosis™ and the Deck of Doors™ together form a comprehensive system, combining structure, creativity, and client-centred precision.
