Challenge Self-Doubt: Coaching and Hypnotherapy

 


“I know what I should do, but I’m not sure that I could do it.” 

This is a ‘what if?’ comment. When we think about making changes in our lives we can sometimes put blocks in our way with ‘what if’s”. What if I fail? What if it is a mistake? What if I regret it? 

More often than not we spend time thinking about the downsides of the change rather than the benefits, even though the positives were exactly what created the desire to change in the first place. 

Negative focusing is a powerful force in stopping us from progressing in the way we should.

The key is to get into the habit of reframing the negative ‘what if?’ into a positive statement of what is going to happen. I am all in favour of positive imagination and dwelling on what our life will be like when the goal is achieved, but it is important that it is always framed in a positive way. 

The most important thing to understand is how to reframe or rather change that negative view into dwelling on what if you succeed? What if it was the best thing you ever did? What if it makes you happier than you’ve felt in years?

Coaching: Accessing Concious Change - Hypnotherapy: Accessing UNconcious Change

Coaching is a way of maximising motivation to achieve your goals. The coaching process helps you focus, plan and execute the changes you want to make to your life. Combining the process with Hypnotherapy you are able to learn the skills of self-hypnosis and how to use auto-suggestion to boost your confidence and self-belief.

The Coaching process helps to focus on what you want to achieve, but importantly how you are going to achieve it, while Hypnotherapy helps you re-program the way you think about it.

One takes care of the conscious mind (coaching), and the other the unconscious one (Hypnotherapy).
Combing Hypnotherapy with focused Coaching can help a person deal with the negative self-doubt that has stood in their way of succeeding the way they wanted to.
Your car works better when it’s been tuned, the same is true of our mental attitude. Coaching with Hypnotherapy helps ‘tune’ your thinking so that you can find it easier to make the changes that will help you become the person you’ve wanted to be.

Getting a Better Nights Sleep - The 3 Week Challenge: Principle One

Image
It all began a month or so before lockdown when I noticed how many sleep aids there were in the chemist.  That same week I had four people contact me for help with sleep problems.  This made me ask myself: “What does psychological research and Hypnotherapy tell us about getting a good nights sleep?” A positive psychological approach focuses on what makes people healthy rather than unhealthy. Instead of looking at the behaviour of someone who is struggling to get a good nights sleep, we should focus on the person who frequently sleeps well. How is the behaviour different? Can we copy it? I began teaching people to use these psychological techniques alongside Hypnosis to nudge their sleep pattern. I was pleased to see the differences that could be made…but more people are needed to really see how effective it could be. Fancy a challenge? You need to apply the principles for the next three weeks and review the changes to your to sleep.  Each princip...

Hypnosis Explained

Image
    If you are hoping to read that Hypnosis is a magical, mystical, controlling power that can make people behave in ways they choose not to, then you are certainly going to be disappointed. Any assumption that a person is asleep or unconscious is also not the case.  So have you ever experienced Hypnosis? Think back over the last 24 hours…. When you woke up this morning, do you remember that half-awake half-asleep feeling? On that commute to work, perhaps you drifted into auto-pilot and as you were driving along? Perhaps your mind drifted to the things you had to do.  You could be forgiven for thinking that you were daydreaming. Tonight, just as you drift off to sleep you are very likely to experience that same half-awake half-asleep feeling. Every one of those experiences could be given the name Hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural state we all experience many times throughout the day. It is as much part of our lives as breathing. The idea of being under the control of ...

Imposter Syndrome: Do you sometimes feeling like a fraud?

Image
  One behaviour people experience from one time or another is being an imposter; the feeling that they might get ‘caught’ out for not being as good at what they do as people assume they are. Imposter syndrome is where an individual doubts their accomplishments and abilities and these are converted into a fear of being exposed as a fraud. Interestingly, this still happens when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.  What do you attribute your successes to? Unjustified feelings of being an imposter are an attribution bias. It is a tendency to attribute successes to luck or poor judgment on the part of others’. In a self-deprecating way, the assumption is that they are ‘just getting by’ and if others saw the real them then they would less than impressed. When we feel this kind of imposter syndrome, we failing to have any internal acknowledgment of our own achievements, something which is characteristic of those suffering from anxiety, and unsurprisingly, low self-estee...
