No-Nonsense Hypnotherapy

For Change

It is said that change is the only constant. Now, in the UK, there seems to be a favourite place called, 'The Way Things Are'. Many people I speak with seem to like this place very much.

Yet, if we look to nature, we notice that everything is in a constant state of change. So, why do we resist?

Well, our bodies always seek to maintain balance - homeostasis - which literally means 'standing still'. I believe it is this mechanism that underpins our love affair with "The Way Things Are'. We get addicted to our comfort zone.

But, if we are to change, we find that change does not occur within the zone - it happens at the edge. It doesn't feel safe. The clients who come to me, on their first session of hypnotherapy, are bravely stepping into the 'unknown'. They usually experience feelings of uncertainty as we start the session. Of course, once they realise just how easy and relaxing it is, they just get on with it.

The thing that locks us into our comfort zone, is FEAR. It's what locks us into all negative behaviour. My clients first need to overcome their fear of change, before they can even show up. It helps them to realise that, in my sessions:

• We work at their pace


• They are in control at all times


• They cannot get it 'wrong'


• They are aware of everything


• They will not say, or do, anything they don't wish to


• We are not going to drag up their past


• We will take it step-by-step


• They will not reveal their innermost secrets


• They WILL, however, be in control of their own subconscious mind


• They give the instructions, their subconscious does the work - easy!
