Hypnosis
Certification Course Improving motivation is one of the simplest and complex applications of hypnotherapy. On the more simple side are the direct suggestions aimed at improving poor self-image and self-esteem, which can hold a person back from discovering and realizing their potential. This also involves inspiring and uplifting encouragement, Positive Reinforcement that is packed with metaphor and example and has proven motivational power. In the hypnotic state these suggestions are extremely powerful! A person who is fundamentally healthy wants to be able to believe in themselves and wants to be capable of bringing forth the confidence to tackle new challenges even thought they may be having a difficult time in doing so. Sometimes the enemy of motivation is nothing other than confusion and blindness to new opportunity. Confusion about what to do or where to go from here does not mean that one is suffering from low self-esteem or confidence. You can be highly motivated and yet be in a funk and at a loss about what to do about it. This funk is a sort of common depression that anyone can experience, and is the result of feeling stuck and being unable to get by the obstacles and barriers that stand in the way of what we want. When the barriers persist a sense of futility and resignation to fate can set in. Motivation becomes diminished, as one frustration after another seems to extinguish the last remnants of hope. Perhaps the most common variety of this eternal story is that of rejected love. A man or woman becomes convinced that he or she has finally found true love. All hopes and dreams are focused, concentrated, and projected upon this one person. A person's future life is inextricably conceived of in terms of this other person and then suddenly it is over. The bombshell explodes in the form of words that say "We've grown apart" or "I've met somebody else" or simply "I am no longer in love with you." Most people move on with their lives and meet others and begin a new chapter. However, some are so devastated and fixated by the past relationship that all motivation to meet new people seems to be sapped. Obviously this example is hugely generalized and it disregards any particular traumas, which might be involved. Hypnotherapy is a cure for the hypnosis or
hypnotic-like limitations of everyday life! My sessions concerning improved motivation may center around messages of greater self-esteem and confidence, or they may involve philosophically oriented discussions of options and possibilities linked with positive suggestions for creative problem solving. Each individual patient drives the course. Generally, I find that when the source of poor motivation is poor self-esteem the patient recognizes it and often characterizes the problem by expressly linking the two together. When the issues are somewhat more complex and involve intellectual obstacles in the form of confusion or blindness to new possibilities we may choose to explore the philosophical issues, which may bear on the question of motivation. The intensity of life sometimes convinces us that there are no solutions or that there is no other way. In a very meaningful sense, we can truly become hypnotized into believing that there is just no way out of the sealed box that we perceive to be our lives, and so why continue trying? So we give up. Irony of ironies! It may take hypnosis to snap us of out of that trance. |
