How to use hypnotherapy to conquer fears and reach goals

If you haven’t heard about or tried hypnotherapy by now, then you’ve been missing out! Personally I’ve been using hypnosis on myself for over 20 years now, since I was a kid, and it has helped me get through a plethora of things…and fast! Countless times I have bypassed fear and the conscious excuses I had for why I shouldn’t do something. There is a reason for this. In a 2016 Stanford University medical study, doctors and scientists were able to see how connected and disconnected certain parts of the brain become during hypnosis.

“Spiegel’s team also observed reduced connections between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the default mode network, which includes the medial prefrontal and the posterior cingulate cortex. This decrease in functional connectivity likely represents a disconnect between someone’s actions and their awareness of their actions, Spiegel said. “When you’re really engaged in something, you don’t really think about doing it — you just do it,” he said. During hypnosis, this kind of disassociation between action and reflection allows the person to engage in activities either suggested by a clinician or self-suggested without devoting mental resources to being self-conscious about the activity.” [1]

Aside from the science of it, what I love about hypnotherapy is how quickly it works. Unlike traditional therapy, psychotherapy, and many others, you only need a handful of sessions to totally be healed of a specific issue. It is more effective and more efficient, and therefore far less expensive. As a certified hypnotherapist, I honestly have no desire to see someone constantly battle the same exact thing. I want them to learn how to navigate their minds and heal themselves.

If you want to know how hypnotherapy can help to conquer fears and reach goals, let’s go over it now.

· Hypnotherapy is all about getting to the root cause

I tend to use the technique Timeline Intervention to find the root of someone’s fear, trauma, behaviors and habits. It is a process in which we gradually go backwards into your life until we find the first occurrence of the feeling that perpetuates the problematic issue we are trying to move past.

For example, when I’ve done this technique with clients, they were able to access memories deep in their subconscious that they did not consciously remember or haven’t thought about in years, like infanthood and womb memories. This can be deeply emotional.

· Hypnotherapy helps uncover your deepest desires and goal life

I think we can agree that it is much easier to say what we don’t want versus what we do want. This is a mindset that I help people get out of because we always want to be thinking about a positive, not a negative. Our mind doesn’t really know the difference, so when you focus on what you don’t want, you will just get more of that. In order to bring forth and unveil desires, I love to use Future Pacing. With this, we slowly go forward into what you want to see and feel in your life.

Clients are able to unlock things they never thought about consciously when it came to what they want. They begin to start seeing the steps involved that they’d need to take, and things become clearer.

I’ve received several comments after this hypnosis about how clients felt motivated. They’d begun to see a life that they had not imagined before, that things made more sense, and how empowering it felt.

· Hypnotherapy can get you to easily access peace whenever needed

One of the most important things a person can have is inner peace. I’ve personally sacrificed a lot of jobs and money to keep my peace because I know nothing is worth that. Yet there are still so many searching for peace, living in constant anxiety, stressed over one situation or another.

For this, I like to use the Drop Down Through technique. It is probably one of my favorites because it’s super cool to see what comes up for people, and to see them get to the realization that they actually feel at peace by the end.

For example — We can start from a current high anxiety situation you may be going through, and then we have you drop down through that feeling into another space. You can look up and see where you’ve come from, see the emotion there, shed everything, and see that you don’t have to be in it. We drop through as many times as needed.

Another great and quick way to get to peace is to simply remember the last time you felt it. If you can recall what peace feels like to you, then you can get to a stable place that you can quickly reference when inner peace is wanted.

I hope these examples allows you to understand how practicing hypnotherapy can enable you to see what is really important, what you really want to focus on, and allows you to shed the anxiety that keeps you from reaching goals and investing in your life. The best part is that the power is in your mind, and it is you that controls it.

Hypnotherapy has personally helped me to move past fear, address and heal trauma, build my confidence, complete an endless amount of goals, approach people, build my business, establish my peaceful place, connect to my intuition, have more transparent and healthy relationships, and so much more.

The question is, what will you allow it to do for you?
