Get to core perceptions that have colored your world

9/30/2016

A friend passed on a Facebook post from a woman who shared her experience of her depression. Like my clients who work with me for depression and anxiety they too have shared what it's like having no sense of happiness, feelings of hopelessness, and the thought they will never ever feel better but are caught in a spiral they don't know how to get out of.

Can you see how thinking you will never ever feel better feeds into the hopelessness?

Now hypnosis is not a magic bullet. There is work involved - no magic wands as one client hoped there would be. The process I'm trained in helps you get to core perceptions that have colored your world, your thoughts, and your feelings. This work isn't necessarily comfortable either but the clearing it can create opens up new thoughts, feelings, and possibilities!

Read what Karen said about her own depression and how the work we did together made a big difference in her life.

Do you treat yourself right?

Unlike other distractors like smoking and alcohol, food is something we need in order to survive. It makes working through an unhealthy relationship to food and eating more challenging as a person will always need to be in this relationship.

It can be very painful to keep eating and putting the pounds on, being very uncomfortable physically - I still have memories of binging wishing I could throw up and grateful I never went down that road - and add to all this a hefty dose of shame and self-loathing. For my clients this is a shame-filled road they walk.

With this unhealthy relationship with food and eating how can you dare trust yourself with what you need, want, or desire? How can they, YOU, be trusted?

Yet what I have found after many, many years of my own struggles and working with clients for almost 14 years is that knowing what we need, want, and desire is absolutely required in order for this to change! This is more important than any calorie count you might do*. It can be very scary to entertain this idea but what if I told you part of this unhealthy pattern is that you lost being able to know what you want, need, and desire and to get them met! Rediscovering them lets you learn how to trust yourself again. Remember that this is a process and you didn't get here overnight therefore transforming it will takes time.

To help you get started or to continue this journey I am offering Rediscovering YourSelf: How to Know What I Need, Want, and Desire. Please be my guest when you pre-register using this link and reserve your place by Friday, September 30. Seating is limited so register now!

The unfamiliar

A few weeks ago I moved less than 8 miles from where I lived for the last 23 years. It's been disorienting. Travel routes I used to use don't work; I have to pay attention to where I'm driving as there have been times I haven't been sure where to go! There are new traffic patterns to learn and sometimes I've been late to appointments. And I am very grateful I know how to parallel park as I now do it once or twice a day.

Travel isn't the only aspect affected by this huge change. Now my personal items are no longer in familiar places so I have to remember where I put things! In the process I've had to ask myself if I need or want everything I have.
Beyond the disorientation is a new discovery - that I have the capacity to change, to create new habits and replace old ones! There's a newness to so many things and it's very exciting and liberating.

I've spoken before about habits and how doing something differently sets in motion new patterns and this is exactly the process I've taken on. Remember, to work with change you first need to be more conscious and aware and you can't go on automatic pilot. You need to know that it will feel disorientating at the start, but a new world you might never have known can open up.

What are you willing to change? Are you ready to see what happens?
