Improving confidence
One of my first questions when someone tells me they are not confident is "how do you know that?". As I listen to their response I have to resist smiling as they then explain to me how they are absolutely sure that they are uncertain! And when I point this out to them, I sometimes get the response "thats just mind games" and I always reply, "Of course!" Because you are already good at the "Im not confident" mind game, you have learned to be confident about the wrong thing. The good news is that it is a learned, rather than fixed problem, and in hypnosis you can effectively unlearn what is not working for you. So you CAN learn how to be confident.
A wise person once said "No one will ever rise above their own opinion of themselves." This truism is great because not only is it you who sets the bar, it's only you who can set that bar and it's all about opinion, not fact.
These opinions of self include who you think you are and are not, what you are capable of, what is possible and impossible for you. This does not mean there is a need for in depth analysis. We will focus on how you get what you get presently and how I can best help you to change how you think, so that you get the results that you really want instead.
As well as the results you are looking for, I also help you to be clear on what being confident actually means to you and what has to happen for it to be genuine and appropriate for you.
People can spend their entire lives practising stopping themselves from doing what they want, settling for less and avoiding risks like rejection and failure and then beating themselves up for being so good at it.
People can also practise and become confident in ways that work for them in certain situations but not in others. Some people have learned how to be confident at work but not in social situations, or to be a confident driver but a nervous passenger, to be confident with people they know well but not when they are around strangers, or to have the confidence to take risks with extreme sports but dread the thought of public speaking.
Whether you want to be more confident in general or to deal with a thing that you currently find difficult, such as dealing with difficult people or dating or speaking in public, being in a hypnotic trance is one of the most effective ways to learn how to do this.
How? Think of your mind as being made up with a conscious and unconscious portion. The conscious mind is the criticizes, judges, analyses and thinks logically all day long. It is where you put your attention.
The sub-conscious is the part that controls bodily functions, it is where all your memories are stored and where your wisdom, habits, creativity, emotions and problem solving capabilities reside. Its that part of the mind that knows more about you than you do.
Your sub-conscious is where automatic behaviour is stored from our heart beat and breathing to just blinking. Whenever we learn to do something with our minds, it becomes automated, and so we become unconsciously skilled at it. We do it without thinking about it (Like Driving). Unfortunately, these skills can also include hesitating, feeling inadequate, depressing ourselves, fearing failure and becoming stressed.
They can also be skills of positivity, feeling good, motivating ourselves, becoming more relaxed or being confident and optimistic.
What you practise, you become. Through hypnotherapy you will learn how to think differently, to change the programmes that you have created in your sub-conscious mind. In a deeply relaxed state of hypnosis, you can access and change these programmes and run new ones that are right for you.
Hypnotherapy is a highly effective way of overcoming confidence issues. In just a few sessions I can help you to change and learn how to think in a better way so that you:
* Are able to cope well in situations you find difficult today.
* Discover how much more you are capable of.
* Develop new ways of thinking that empowers you to do new things and through doing these new things you get to have new feelings.
