Starting in early childhood, particularly before the age of twelve, we are highly
suggestible to unpleasant experiences of the world, criticism from parents, teachers,
siblings, and others, as well as disturbing events portrayed by the media. One of the
laws of mind is the Law of Dominance. What is presented to mind more often and more
forcefully is what the mind comes to believe. For most people, the amount of negative
feedback and experiences that go into the subconscious mind, where the self-concept
forms, far outweighs the positive love, support, and validation provided. Since the
subconscious accepts what it is fed without question, it develops a more negative self-concept.
In hypnotherapy, we work on sending positive messages to the subconscious to reverse the damage
and create a positive mindset and self-image.
The critical mind, (part conscious and part subconscious) serves to protect
against emotional damage by acting as a filter to screen out what is harmful.
Unfortunately, it does not fully develop and function until about the age of
twelve. As a result, during the first twelve years of our lives, the negative
influences easily move from the conscious to the subconscious mind without
filtering. Self-defeating fears and beliefs form. Held deep in the subconscious,
they exert powerful negative impact on the emotions. When triggered by events and
experiences of everyday life, these fears and limiting beliefs create uncomfortable
feelings, sensations, images and thoughts. Bad attitudes, habits and low expectations
develop which shape behavior in undesirable ways.
As a result, these negative forces, if left unchecked, may exert such a
powerful influence that a person may go through life sabotaging rather than
supporting their own dreams, goals, and desires. A vicious cycle continues to
play out, as disappointments and setbacks further reinforce those negative mental attributes, and lead to more self-sabotage, more failure, more unhappiness,
more negativity...
Feelings of being stuck or emotionally blocked>\ are common reactions to
unsuccessful conscious attempts to break out of this cycle. While conscious determination
and willpower may seem to work for a while, too often the undesirable habits and behaviors
return, in full force, perhaps worse than before. The superiority of the subconscious mind,
which represents about 90% of your total mind power, wins out.
In hypnotherapy, you learn techniques that empower you. You learn how to
implant deep within your subconscious mind specific positive, supportive,
and uplifting ideas, beliefs, attitudes, feelings, and images. With them,
you refurbish your subconscious mind so that you overcome the blocks,
manifest the desired behaviors, and reach the goals to which you aspire.
In doing so, you experience transformation. No longer the victim of negative
unconscious programming, you are free to be your authentic self.
Hypnotherapy is a relatively brief, interactive, results-oriented therapy
that encompasses a variety of hypnotic processes and techniques in a safe,
confidential, and structured environment. It offers effective tools for
personal and professional transformation at comparatively lower costs than
other traditional talk therapies.
