So, as I sit on the plane to Tenerife I’m reading a lovely book and it’s got me thinking.
What kind of person are you…
Who you are, isn’t that the most important thing of all. (RJ Palacio, Wonder)
As a solution focused psychotherapist and hypnotherapist I work with clients on each session discussing where they are in life and where they want to get to.
Their reasons for coming to see me will widely vary but the requirement for the end result is always to feel better than they do currently…
The problem with this is often they don’t actually have the answer to what that is!
When you’re feeling lost, it’s those feelings you’re aware of not the ones you want to get to.
So understanding who you are and who you want to be is extremely important, otherwise your brain can’t help you get there…
You see your brain is like a genie 🧞♀️ it thinks ‘you’re wish is my command’ it thinks the thought and carry’s out the action that you tell it to…it doesn’t k ow how to do it differently.
💥A parent for example…
They often base their happiness on the happiness of their children…
When asked to scale their level of happiness 8/10 parents will answer it based on their children’s actions feelings and needs.
Whether the children are young or old they’ve parked their needs as second to their child’s.
💥 Someone in an unhappy relationship, they’ve lived this way for such a long time they’ve lost their voice and resigned themselves to ‘this is what I’m used to, I have no expectations of my needs any more.
💥A person unhappy with their work, they feel afraid to move to another job/career for fear of the unknown.
💥Feeling unhappy with their weight, they’ve felt this way for years and feel that positive change is just so far out of reach what’s the point in trying…
You get the picture… 🖼️
So, I ask again…
What type of person are you & now…
What type of person do you want to become?
YOU DECIDE!
It can take courage to recognise you want to make change but when you take that first step and really see the possibilities you’ll be amazed at how much closer you’ll get to becoming that person you really want to be…
Hypnotherapy has helped me understand how to make positive changes in my life, for myself and the people I love…
It can do the same for you. 🙂
Love,
