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

People often
come in for hypnotherapy to change or adopt a behavior that will help them
achieve a specific goal or succeed at a particular endeavor. Contrary to
popular belief (and the stories we tell ourselves), Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder John Kappas, Ph.D. asserted that such
success had nothing to do with intelligence, working hard, being nice or deserving,
etc. Rather, success (or lack thereof) boiled down to the mental “programming”
a person received and how that program was reinforced in daily life
(behaviors).
Dr. Kappas
attributed the difficulty to change or re-program these behaviors to homeostasis,
whereby a person tends to only go so high before hitting a metaphoric “ceiling”
to this success. Silently, suddenly self-sabotaging behaviors start to happen
to keep the individual stuck in the same (comfortable and familiar) life
patterns he or she is trying to change or improve. It is easier and oftentimes
more socially rewarding) to stay the same or resist change (see Systems
Approach in Hypnotherapy). Fortunately, there is also a metaphoric “floor”
to this resistance, at which time the person goes so low that he or she is motivated to make a positive change and
break out of this negative or limited cycle.
In Part 2 of
this blog, I will describe the Recipe for Success to help you stop the
self-limiting script and help you achieve your self-improvement goals.
