Confidence.
What is it you really want? Is the person who is very driven, let's say, are they doing it out of a compulsive need to satisfy low self-worth? Are they doing it to prove to their parents, dead or alive, that they can do it or to prove to themselves or to prove to their community or whoever?
And are they doing it from a place of weakness and insecurity or are they doing it because they're truly inspired and fulfilled by that work and that's why they have so much energy, they love doing it? If what you're doing is compulsive and it's not coming from a place of inspiration, then you may lose the drive to do that.
Thanks, Heather. It's great to be here.
Well, it was my pleasure and you've done quite a lot with yourself. I can't take more than partial credit, but you know, a chef is only as good as his ingredients. So you did a lot of great work yourself.
So one, we always do an initial consultation with someone because we need to know what we're dealing with in terms of the individual person's challenges and what their goals are. So some people are aware of what is really causing their symptoms, as Gina and I refer to what people usually say, oh, this is my problem.
Anxiety is my problem, or procrastination is my problem, or drinking a little too much wine, that's my problem. Fear of public speaking, that's my problem.
in all of these cases those are just symptoms and so what we do constantly is we're always asking ourselves what is causing that particular issue so someone doesn't have to understand how their mind works before they reach out to us the whole point of working with us as opposed to other occasionally useful and appropriate methods like you know talk therapy or using just sheer willpower is that
we're not operating at a conscious level see if you what you think logically about your situation at the surface is probably not what's really happening in the mind so if someone understands what their challenges are at a symptom level we can usually when within that very first meeting of talking with the person by zoom because we see all our clients from coast to coast by zoom
we can get a pretty good beat on what the underlying cause is. And to put it real simply, a behavior is a symptom of an emotion, an emotion is a symptom of a thought, And that could be a belief, an image someone puts in their mind, a perception about something, the meaning they give to something. But it's those underlying subconscious thoughts, which are things that someone learned in their life.
So they weren't born with that issue. They learned it, like you mentioned, through trauma, which is one of our specialties is resolving that quickly. That's an unrecognized cause of trauma. The vast majority of emotional and behavioral issues people have and it doesn't mean ptsd.
It just means some emotionally upsetting experience And most traumas are what we would consider relatively minor But they have big impact and someone's trying to build a business or they're trying to have a healthy relationship or To get fit and eat healthier or whatever it might be When they feel a part of them is constantly getting in the way and stopping them. That's their subconscious so
if we fight with our subconscious constantly, which is what happens when you try to use willpower and white-knuckle it or force yourself into doing something, that's only going to
usually make it more stressful and it doesn't usually work because the subconscious is much more powerful so we need to make friends with the subconscious and communicate in a way that it will hear the message that we at a conscious level wanted to understand we wanted to stop becoming anxious to stop worrying so much to make healthier choices to feel more confident all of those things and to let go of whatever baggage is causing someone to ruminate constantly so
Hypnosis and NLP and the other methods that Gina and I use are simply what we found to be some of the most effective ways of changing the underlying subconscious beliefs, thought patterns, perceptions, so that after we finish the work we're doing with this person in a collaborative sense, then they don't need to remind themselves constantly to be confident.
They don't have to practice taking deep breaths. you know, to be calm. They don't have to slap themselves on the wrist when they think about eating a cookie, you know. It just tends to happen automatically. So the subconscious is the source from which all desirable and undesirable behaviors stem.
And if we can make the change at that level, which is really what we as hypnotists do, then everything that stems from that changes.
