I am continuing to suspend in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office. However, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

When
I was at college, my friends used to joke, “Never say ‘never’, because that is
an absolute guarantee you will do what you say you will never do!” Oh, how
prescient that advice turned out to be. Now, I understand why.
The
subconscious mind does not understand irony. It does not get a joke. It will
try to fulfill whatever messages it receives. Whatever you say or think, it
takes literally and conveniently ignores terms such as never, not, won’t and can’t.
For example, I occasionally make the mistake of thinking or saying to myself,
“I will not fall off my horse today.”
Guess what? I do fall—or come very close to it. Some people might say those are
examples of a self-fulfilling prophecy, but isn’t a self-fulfilling prophecy an
example of a person behaving in a specific way to achieve the subconscious
mind’s goal—essentially, a subconscious
mental script that we have been following all of our lives?
When
I work with my hypnotherapy clients, I teach them how to frame (or re-frame, as
the case may be) their thoughts and self-talk so they are always giving
themselves a positive message or suggestion. Rather than say, “I can’t be late
for this meeting!” tell yourself, “I will leave five minutes earlier so I will
be on time for my meeting.” Or, in the context of my first example, I now tell
myself, “I am a strong rider. I can stay on my horse and have a good ride.”
Your
subconscious mind will work just as hard to fulfill a positive goal as it will
to achieve a negative one, so why not set it up for success, right from the
start?
