A client recently called me to find out if Hypnosis would be a good tool to use when someone is dealing with anxiety, and phobias.
My first response is that Hypnosis is a good tool to use when dealing with any form of fear or phobia that is blocking you, but I also went on to add, that I hesitate in making it a one shot deal, one induction fits all type of approach.
The most important thing to remember when you are dealing with phobias or mental blockages is to figure out what the benefits of the phobias or mental blockage are. Think about that, if you have a fear of bees and you are allergic to bees, then your phobia has a clear benefit, it keeps you away from bees. If you are blocking yourself from performing some dangerous activity, or some perceived dangerous activity than you may not want to get rid of the blockage, at least not all together. You may want to simply modify the behavior or the blockage, or at least find out how to continue reaping the same benefit(s) without the consequences.
Think about that, Hypnosis is not a matter of will power; it is a way of using the same power of the mind that created the behavior or addiction, to easily and safely create a new option a new behavior that is healthy, beneficial, and positive for you and those around you. Once you are able to let go of the old behavior, and gain the same benefits in another way, then the old behavior seems to melt away almost without effort.
With Foundations Hypnosis Seattle ~ Bellevue, the first step is always in determining just what is the benefit of the behavior you are seeking to get rid of. I don’t care whether you consider that behavior an addiction, a phobia, or a compulsive behavior.
1) Helping the client to determine what it is they do want, as opposed to what they don’t want.
2) Detachment from the emotional & reactive parts of the brain, otherwise known as the sub-cortical and Medulla oblongata areas of the brain, that have kept you stuck in the problem. (Like Albert Einstein said, “you can’t solve the problem at the level of the problem).
3) Learning and practicing very effective and simply methods of bringing balance to the body, and the brain, allowing you to take control of random and involuntary thoughts and emotions stored in the sub cortical areas of the brain.
4) Using various levels of the trance state to allow the client to incorporate new images, and thoughts to help create the new behavior that they want to obtain.
