Welcome to Talk Time with Meredith McCarthy, founder of the New Zealand Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy (NZACH) and President of the New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists (NZAPH).
In this episode, Meredith explores unconscious bias in clinical hypnotherapy — what it looks like in a client session, how it can quietly shape our choices, and what every therapist or student needs to know to avoid it.
Learn how to:
- Recognise your own unconscious filters and projections
- Stay out of “fix-it mode”
- Use curiosity to create genuine connection and insight
- Maintain ethical boundaries and professional sensitivity
- Reflect and grow through clinical supervision
Whether you’re already practising or considering a career in hypnotherapy, this talk will help you deepen your self-awareness and elevate your practice.
