My story in a nutshell...
Back in 2013 I felt stuck in life and somewhat unable to move forward very much. Being very reflective helped me as I came to the conclusion that it was me and some of my limiting beliefs that kept me stuck. So, I decided to try hypnotherapy to see if addressing my own inner limitations would make a difference.
It was a great insight as after the first session with a hypnotherapist (whose name was Steve) I left the room somewhat different. It was difficult to explain but one thing I could say was that I felt immense inner calm. Not many things bothered me any longer.
The sense of calmness and self-assurance was deepened with each session with Steve. I was challenged and my beliefs were examined, and in doing so, the process of change was initiated. Like planting a seed – the brain is like a garden full of seeds – we choose what we want to plant in it – if you plant resentment, anger, frustration, guilt, that’s exactly what you are going to get back. On the other hand, if you plant calmness, joy, forgiveness, reflection – that’s what you’re going to get back.
Steve showed me a different path, and it was down to me if I wanted to take it.
After a few sessions with him, I experienced a change in life – a sudden career change, an opportunity that came along and I grabbed it. That was the beginning of the path I am now walking along. By challenging me, making me cringe and being honest with me, he made me realise my self-imposed limitations and the consequences if I didn’t let them go. It was one of the most profound changes I had experienced in my life.
I met with Steve again at the end of 2019. This time however, I was able to tell him what that seed he had planted those years ago had developed into… I am also a Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, helping clients make a positive change and reach for the sky. I’ve never been happier in my life. And all this is thanks to a few hypnotherapy sessions back in 2013. But this is an ongoing process that never stops.
Once upon a time I had a hunch and followed it… I wanted to see a hypnotherapist to help me get ‘unstuck’. The knowledge he imparted with me then has had a profound effect on me. So, my tip here is – if you want a change, look inside yourself first. Once you begin, everything else starts changing around you, for the better.
