Performance
Assuming that you have a healthy physical body, the obstacles to peak performance are rooted in our constant subconscious gossip. Most of us would be shocked to learn how much self-doubting and self-attacking inner dialogue was going on inside our minds. With hypnotherapy you can become aware of these "toxic tapes" and replace them with inner tapes that consciously encourage and inspire you to make your best efforts on your own behalf and in your relationships with others.
Gaining Confidence
Most people have a problem thinking of themselves as confident because they don't "feel confident," or because they may not have a track record of success in their life. Truly speaking, such issues are beside the point. The secret of real confidence is to appreciate the gift of life and to make your best efforts with enjoyment and without fear of being judged. But how is this done? It's easily said, but many of us have deeply ingrained conditioning that prevents us from appreciating ourselves and enjoying our lives. Hypnotherapy can help you quickly and easily regain a sense of hopeful aliveness and enthusiasm about your genuine interests and aspirations.
Decision Making
If you're not afraid of making a mistake, and you take the time to recognize what you truly want in your life, you'll never have any problems making decisions. It's as simple as that. However, most of us are so profoundly conditioned to fear failure that we constantly hesitate and second-guess ourselves. Doing this erodes our simple, natural capacity to recognize what we truly desire and to move toward it with a healthy passion.
Hypnotherapy quickly helps you remove these obstacles so that you reconnect with your true desire and enthusiasm in self-affirming ways.
Sexuality & Intimacy
Every fiber of our being is permeated with our sexuality, and our capacity to be intimate is our natural heritage as human beings. Unfortunately, our cultural conditioning separates us from these innate and healthy aspects of ourselves. Sexuality is not a matter of performance or power, and intimacy is not a matter of making yourself blindly vulnerable to attack. But this is often what we think. With hypnotherapy you can dissolve the negative cultural conditioning that has separated you from your natural, healthy, organic capacity to share—physically, mentally, and emotionally—with those you love.
Stress Management
In this modern age we're constantly inundated with stimulation of all kinds. Advertising urges us to become prettier, smarter, and better in a variety of ways. The news media cautions us against a growing number of dangers in the world. And the sheer amount of information, and the speed with which we receive that information, creates a persistent source of stressful situations. However, these situations, in and of themselves, cannot make us feel stressed out. When we feel drained or "stressed" it is due to our reaction to a perceived challenge, not due to some inherent power that the situation has to make us feel upset. Debilitating conditioned reactions such as high blood pressure or chronic anxiety, irritability and anger are embedded in our subconscious mind. The seeds from which these reactions sprout were planted long ago in childhood. For this reason, our stress reaction is largely unresponsive to our conscious wishes to change it. Hypnotherapy enables our conscious mind to communicate its desires to be healthier and more relaxed, in a way that the subconscious mind readily accepts. Through hypnotic communication, your conscious mind can instruct your subconscious to change your reactive and debilitating stress responses to healthier, nurturing responses. Hypnotherapy also makes it possible for the subconscious to eradicate the deepest roots of the stress response. In this way you can establish new, healthy responses that are just as effortless, involuntary and powerful as your old, negative ones used to be!
Depression & Anxiety
Depressive and anxious states of mind can be profoundly debilitating, and in many cases are extremely resistant to any healing modality. Hypnotherapy has proven very effective in reducing and eliminating the recurrence of depression and anxiety, however. We have a prevalent medical model operating in our society that customarily interprets depression and anxiety as biochemical in nature. This model suggests that we are powerless to change these states by simply working with the mind. Powerful and even seemingly miraculous results achieved with hypnotherapy, however, suggest that depressive and anxious states are often caused by deeply embedded subconscious thought processes. When such self-defeating thought processes are changed through hypnotic communication, the depressive and anxious states subside. We are in no way suggesting here that we are medical practitioners, nor do we intend to dissuade anyone who needs it from seeking appropriate medical attention. It has simply been our experience that many people with profound symptoms of depression and anxiety have had these problems relieved relatively quickly and efficiently through hypnotherapeutic technique.
Academic Performance
Our natural, healthy tendency as human beings is to love learning and to enjoy being surprised by new discoveries. Sadly, our so-called educational system tends to undermine our natural capacity to learn, as well as our enjoyment of the learning process. This happens when students are subjected to fear-inducing standards of performance. Because these fearful standards begin to be communicated to us when we are quite young, they deeply impress our subconscious mind. The result is that we accept such arbitrary judgments of our abilities as unquestioned truths, and we forget our native experience of fearless intelligence and curiosity.
With hypnotherapy one can remove the disruptive effects of such negative conditioning.
Once these disruptors are removed, you are literally reintroduced to your own profound and delightful capacity to learn. This restores faith, confidence, ease, and enthusiasm to your academic endeavors. You realize that you can make your best effort, and that your best efforts will be good enough.
Procrastination
In our opinion, people have been tricked into believing that they are "procrastinators," or that they're "lazy". However, when we examine what these labels actually mean, we find that they're simply harsh judgments inhibiting people from recognizing what they truly want, as well as claiming their right to pursue it. If you closely examine your inner dialogue when you find yourself procrastinating or being lazy, you'll probably see that you're torn between two competing desires. You may want to maintain a healthy exercise regimen, but when the time comes, you feel like you need a break from your busy life -and exercise just seems like one more demand on an already long list. Rather than label yourself "lazy" or a "procrastinator", you have the right to encourage yourself to discover the real issue hiding behind the conflict.
With hypnotherapy you can clarify and strengthen your focus so that you can connect with the genuine need that has been covered up by your struggle with procrastination or laziness. Once you connect with your genuine need or desire and realize you have a right to meet it, the harsh judgments and conflict naturally come to an end.
Athletic Performance
Hypnotherapy is not only useful for dealing with illness and emotional issues. It can also optimize your natural capabilities in any area of your life. As strange as it may sound, it has been shown that repeatedly and vividly imagining a task such as hitting a golf ball perfectly, or shooting a perfect foul shot, is more effective than repeated physical practice of these skills. For this reason, professional athletes have long used hypnosis to "get into the zone" and to maintain peak levels of performance. You can attain comparable levels of excellence by combining your personal effort with hypnotically enhanced focus, calmness, and coordination.
