Change And Learning Are Really Just Different Words

There are far too many variables, even when you’re working with a skilled hypnotherapist. There are far too many variables, even when you’re working with a skilled hypnotherapist. Now I’m not going to claim that just one session is enough to fix any problem. Each time we do some work on the problem, it decreases a little. Now as hypnotherapists, we never know how much work might be required to fix a specific problem. But we can make educated guesses. Let me give you an example. We know from experience that most smokers will quit after the first session. We also know that some won’t, so we have them sign up for a 3 session program. In doing this we achieve some important things. First, we get feedback and we can tell which customers have quit. Second, those who do quit after the first session feel like they’ve been really well looked after.

Gone Too Soon

Since almost all smokers have quit by the third session, we can massively increase the confidence in our service without it costing us much at all. By the way, shameless plug time! Now, let’s go back to our example of social anxiety. The reality is that even though the solution is straightforward, some problems require more than one session to fix. Naturally, some problems are smaller than others. So how do we fix it? First, we need to define the problem, and what we’d like to be different. Try to come up with specific situations where the problem happens. The important characteristic here is that you can get a clear picture of an actual event in the real world, and what has been happening. Why just the shoulders? Well, you can make it as big or as small a change as you like. As a rule, smaller changes are easier to manifest than bigger ones. And guess what happens when you stack up a dozen or more tiny changes? The problem starts to become a thing of the past. Once you’ve defined what’s been happening, and what you’d like to have happen instead, it’s time to run the process. Hypnotize yourself, and follow the process to your hypnotic reality.

Too Marvelous For Words

As you’re doing this, really bask in the effects along the way. Allow yourself to glow. When you’re a tree, feel the sun on your leaves and the energy of the nutrients flowing into you from the ground. The stronger you can make these positive feelings, the better. When you’re glowing, follow the pathway and step inside your hypnotic reality. Look around for some symbols and move them about so that they seem right. Don’t concern yourself with what they might represent. Treat it more like a decorating exercise. Since we’re here to change our social anxiety, imagine stepping into the supermarket and talking to the cashier. Work through that process several times inside your mind, noticing how your shoulders relax more each time. Either bring yourself out of hypnosis, or drift off to sleep. At that point, the session is done.

A Higher Power?

Of course, you still need to test, which is nothing more than placing yourself into the situation in real life, and noticing what happens. So far as I can tell, this process is the core of all change, not just social anxiety. All effective techniques and solutions that I’ve used appear to have this structure on some level. The key is to work on small things first, and work your way up. When most people do this, they don’t get it even close to right the first time. If they stick at it, before long they can effortlessly follow the recipe to success. Working on problems inside your mind is just the same. Start off with small problems to practice, then move up to the bigger ones when you’re confident in the process. The easiest way to make this process fail is to jump straight onto a problem that’s too big for now. Start with tiny things, and then slowly move up as you become more skilled. When you do this, you will get there in no time. Next up, let’s consider a honing a skill. In this case, we’ll use the piano as an example, and the process applies equally to any other skill. We want to work with a skill, we need something for our brain to latch onto before we start. If we’ve never even tried to play a piano before, it’s unlikely to work unless we’re a very skilled hypnotist. The same is true with study or any other kind of learning. If we want to study inside our hypnotic reality, we first must go over the material in real life. If we want to improve a skill, it’s important that we’ve had a little experience with using that skill. Luckily this is easy to work around. The key word here is hone. We’re not trying to create a new skill from scratch, just get better at one we already possess. In the case of playing a piano, we’ve at least tried to belt out a few songs before, and we’ve attempted to read music and translate it into pressing the right keys in the right sequence with the right timing. The basic information is already in our mind, we’re just not using it optimally yet. When you think about it, honing a skill is nothing more than another form of change. Change and learning are really just different words for the same thing. It follows that we can use the same process. When you want to hone a skill, you can decide to spend as much time as you’d like doing so. I’m going to spend 4 hours learning to play Let It Go on the piano, paying particular attention to properly synchronizing my foot movements with the piano keys. I will practice deliberately and methodically. Deliberate practice here is a specific type of practice in which rather than just repeating something over and over again, we pay attention to what we’re doing.
