When most people hear “hypnosis,” they picture stage performers making volunteers cluck like chickens, or therapists putting patients into deep trances where they lose awareness and control. CognitiveOS Hypnosis® is fundamentally different. You remain awake, aware, and in complete control throughout the entire process—while your mind undergoes a powerful reset and reorganization.

✦ ✦ ✦

Developed by Luca Bosurgi over 30 years and refined through more than 60,000 private sessions, CognitiveOS Hypnosis® represents a breakthrough in how we can work with the subconscious mind to create lasting change.

What Makes CognitiveOS Hypnosis® Different

Traditional hypnotherapy typically relies on two approaches: command hypnosis (used by stage performers) which requires high suggestibility, or clinical hypnosis which uses trance states and direct suggestions to modify behavior.

CognitiveOS Hypnosis® operates on entirely different principles:

• You remain awake, aware, and in control
• No trance dependency
• No suggestion-based programming

Rather than imposing external suggestions onto your subconscious, CognitiveOS Hypnosis® works as a reset and reorganization process—helping your mind return to its natural, optimal state by clearing what shouldn’t be there and updating what needs to change.

How It Works: The System Reset

Think of your mind like a computer operating system. Over time, it accumulates outdated programs, false threat responses, emotional residue from past experiences, and behavioral scripts that may have been appropriate once but now create problems.

As explored in The Brain is Hardware, The Mind is Software, the brain provides the processing power, but the mind—the software—determines how that power is used. When the software contains bugs or outdated code, no amount of willpower can override the problems.

CognitiveOS Hypnosis® addresses this by helping the mind:

✓ Release outdated fear responses
✓ Clear emotional residue and trauma
✓ Update behavioral scripts at a subconscious level
✓ Reset to its natural, organic state

The technique uses a proprietary language developed and refined through decades of clinical work. This language establishes direct communication with the cognitive side of the mind, enabling precise adjustments rather than broad suggestions.

The Session Experience

Within the Bosurgi Mind Fitness Method®, each session follows a specific structure:

40 minutes: Life & Mind Coaching
This portion addresses conscious understanding—clarifying patterns, identifying dependencies, and building practical skills for emotional self-regulation. It provides the mental and life guidance that many people never received growing up.

20 minutes: CognitiveOS Hypnosis®
This portion helps your mind embrace and implement the coaching received. You enter a deeply relaxed state while remaining fully aware. The body rests while the conscious mind recedes, allowing access to deeper levels of awareness where real change occurs.

This dual approach—conscious teaching followed by subconscious integration—creates lasting transformation rather than temporary improvement.

Root Causes vs. Symptoms

A critical distinction separates CognitiveOS Hypnosis® from traditional approaches: the focus on root causes rather than symptoms.

Traditional hypnotherapy often targets symptoms directly—using suggestions to reduce anxiety, stop smoking, or change specific behaviors. While this can produce results, the underlying causes remain unaddressed, which is why effects often fade over time.

CognitiveOS Hypnosis® explores the subconscious to reveal hidden emotional wounds and belief systems that create the symptoms. By addressing these root causes, the symptoms naturally dissolve rather than being suppressed.

For example, anxiety is often a survival system response to perceived threats. Rather than suggesting the anxiety away, CognitiveOS Hypnosis® helps the mind recognize that the perceived threats aren’t actually dangerous, allowing the survival system to calm naturally.

The Role in Emotional Self-Reliance

CognitiveOS Hypnosis® serves as Pillar 3 within the Bosurgi Mind Fitness Method®—the “System Reset” that complements the other pillars of Emotional Self-Reliance, Mind Management & Perception Training, and Behavioral System Re-Programming.

The technique proves particularly effective for resolving Adult Emotional Dependency (AED)—the condition where childhood emotional dependency continues inappropriately into adulthood. By helping the mind release outdated dependency patterns, individuals develop the internal emotional leadership that should have formed naturally after adolescence.

As explored in The Power of Emotional Self-Reliance, this transformation affects every area of life—relationships, career, confidence, and overall well-being.

What CognitiveOS Hypnosis® Can Address

Through the reset and reorganization process, CognitiveOS Hypnosis® helps resolve:

🎯Anxiety and Fear Patterns: Calming the survival system by clearing false threat perceptions

💔Emotional Dependency: Releasing patterns of seeking external validation, approval, and protection

🔄Trauma and PTSD: Clearing emotional residue from past experiences without re-traumatization

🚫Limiting Beliefs: Updating false beliefs and behavioral scripts that create self-sabotage

😴Sleep and Physical Issues: Reducing stress-related physical symptoms by calming the nervous system

🧠Blocked Brainpower: Freeing cognitive resources consumed by anxiety and emotional management

The Origins

Luca Bosurgi developed CognitiveOS Hypnosis® beginning in the early 1990s after training in Clinical Hypnosis with Michael Joseph, Founder and President of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

The technique emerged from combining this clinical foundation with Luca’s extensive background in computer science, psychology, and ancient mind-healing traditions—including practices learned from Tibetan monks. The computer science background proved particularly valuable in conceptualizing how the mind operates as an information processing system that can be reset and optimized.

Over three decades, the method has been continuously refined based on client outcomes, resulting in a success rate exceeding 95% as reported by clients.

What to Expect

For those considering CognitiveOS Hypnosis® as part of the Bosurgi Mind Fitness Method®:

During the session: You’ll remain conscious and aware throughout. Many describe the experience as deeply peaceful—similar to the relaxed awareness just before falling asleep, but without actually losing consciousness.

After the session: Most clients report feeling noticeably calmer and clearer. Some experience significant shifts immediately; others notice changes unfolding over the following days.

Program structure: The Foundation Program consists of 13 sessions, with most clients experiencing major internal shifts between sessions 4–8 and stable emotional grounding by completion.

Sessions are available both in-person at the Spring Hill, Florida studio and worldwide via Zoom—both formats are equally effective for this work.
