Who I can help
I can help anyone who recognises there is something getting in the way of them living the life they want, but they don’t know why.
1 in 5 adults in the UK are suffering from anxiety at any given moment.
Anxiety can come in many different forms such as fear, unease, tension, stress or worry. It is a natural human response guided by your unconscious mind and adrenaline. It is a problem of unconscious anticipation. A fear of the future, that something bad is about to happen, but never knowing quite when.
Using the Pattern Matching brain process your unconscious mind recognises danger in a certain situation, learned from a past experience that caused you to feel uncertain. Your body then produces a stress response in order to get you away from that situation.
Cognitive Hypnotherapy can help by updating our perspectives of past experiences which will allow you to respond differently to future situations.
Limiting beliefs are negative ideas that we have about ourselves, like ‘I don’t fit in’, ‘I’m not loveable’ or ‘I’m a fraud’. My personal limiting belief was ‘I’m not good enough’ and I lived with it the majority of my adult life. It stopped me from ever achieving what I wanted to in all aspects of my life.
Hazel Gale put’s it eloquently by saying that:
‘Limiting Beliefs are not the truth, they just feel like they are. Most of the things we think we know about ourselves are mere ideas – perspectives that we’ve picked up somewhere along the way, and then filtered through enough evidence for us to buy into them completely.
These limiting beliefs always have a source, usually connected to a serious emotional event or series of events throughout our childhood. Cognitive Hypnotherapy can set you free from the nagging little voice inside your head, by discovering the root of the issue, changing how you perceive it, and hence allowing you to live the life that you want.
If you are addicted to something and you have tried to give up before, you’ll know that the withdraw can leave you with an empty, insecure feeling, and it is hard to stop thinking about it. For me it was gambling. What most people don’t know is that this empty, insecure feeling is often connected to an emotion from past experience, and this can be why you started your addiction in the first place. Cognitive Hypnotherapy can help you connect to that emotion and let go of the addiction.
It can also help you change your addiction from an identity i.e. ‘I am a gambler’ to a behaviour i.e. ‘I am someone who gambles’. It is easier to change a behaviour rather than an identity and the moment the brain understands the difference you are already on the journey to leaving your unwanted addiction behind
