Hypnosis - An Engineer's Perspective

.We are all familiar with the challenges of changing behaviors, breaking habits, creating sustainable life affirming lifestyle choices and the tenacity of our own difficult, unwanted and often detrimental behavioural patterns.  Firstly, please know you are not alone in these challenge but rather, each of us is confronted in one way or another with behaviors an habits that we find resistant to any effort to overcome them, and often find ourselves feeling defeated and discouraged.  Consider the individual smoking a pack a day, who, on is drive to work, without thinking, reaches for his first cigarette of the day and takes a drag; eyes still intently fixed on the upcoming stop sign, frustrated that yet again he found himself cigarette in hand despite having set this morning as his quitting date.  Across the other side of town, a pleasant middle-aged, woman finds herself captivated by the newest series on Netflix and perplexed as she looks are her clock 5 hours later wondering where both the day had gone and the bag of potato chips by her side, despite her plan to go for a walk today and prepare a lovely vegetable soup. 

So, what do these two scenarios have in common and what do they have to do with hypnosis?

In each situation, both individuals are operating at two different levels of conscious awareness without realizing it. Both are fully awake and deeply engrossed in their surroundings. But at the same time, they are both being driven by deep messages within the subcorticol structure of the brain, the unconscious, in which, despite their genuine desire for change and transformation,  each individual"s behaviour is governed by unseen intruders are sneaking in under the radar, with “bad-habit” instructions to subtly influence the person’s waking behaviour. So, the driver’s smoking addiction continues for another day and the lady wonders why she can’t lose weight.

If only there was a way to communicate with that subconscious part and let it know the unwanted effects it was causing. But here’s the dilemma. It’s not possible to have a subconscious thought while you’re fully awake. Try it – you won’t be able to. There is a psychological barrier between the fully conscious and awakened ‘you’ and your hidden subconscious self. That barrier keeps these two levels apart.

Enter Hypnosis

Contrary to popular belief, healing hypnosis will not put you to sleep, have you revealing your bank account secrets, or clucking like a chicken. We use very gentle techniques to take you into a deep state of relaxation that lowers this barrier and allows direct contact with your subconscious mind. And, because you are not asleep, you become the observer to the whole healing process and remember everything at the end of the session.

Your subconscious mind has, over the years, been programmed with its own beliefs. Some positive and helpful, and others … not so much. Negative impressions picked up, especially in early childhood, can manifest as fears in later life; and become the foundation for irrational triggers, phobias and habits that are hard to shake.

It’s important to understand that, because your subconscious was “programmed” in the first place, it can be re-programmed today. Given new instructions that help, not hinder. New ways of thinking that boost your confidence and self esteem. Your hypnosis session then, can become a pleasant, life changing experience.

Whether you’re looking to kick the smoking habit, lose a few pounds, feel good about your next airplane ride, or not freak out at the next spider you find in the bathroom sink, hypnosis can help. This discipline has been around for 200 years and has moved from a shock-and-awe entertainment stage show to a recognized treatment modality with intrinsic healing value.
