Don't Pick The Scab

"Thank you for your encouraging message. Our trip was a huge success! I didn’t need to tap on the plane but on the London Eye my legs went to jelly so I just sat down and used the anchoring point on my thumb and did some deep breathing. This got me through it without any big drama. We all had a wonderful time; next stop America??!! Thank you so much for your help and kindness." - Kim Boudins (Jersey)

Many people believe that you need to re-open a past wound before you can progress forward in your life. 'You must go through the experience again in order to cope with it now.' And I ask them, why? Why must I bring up your pain from a past experience, to re-live it, to focus your present day mind on it and to give yourself additional distress. Surely the fact that you are already distressed is enough to say, 'Hang on, let's look at this problem from another perspective, one that is less painful and less emotionally intense.'

How many times, when you were a child and you'd cut yourself, did your mother say, 'If you keep picking at that scab, it'll never heal. In fact you might well cause it to become infected and create even bigger problems for yourself.'

So if we don't pick at the scab when we have a physical wound, why pick at the scab when we have an emotional wound? It doesn't make sense.

It is for this reason that I very rarely use regression to take a person back to where their problems began. In the majority of cases it doesn't matter. What matters is how you react to the distressing episode NOW. React to it differently and you will be able to handle it differently. THAT'S how successful sessions come about.

I teach you to look at the past events differently. The result is a new road for your subconscious mind to follow and a new insight into your presenting problems. A truly win-win situation.

NOTE:

The first consultation normally lasts between one-and-a-half and two hours. Regarding the number of sessions needed, this varies as every person and every condition is different. However, I do recommend a minimum of two in order for there to be a clinical follow-up and mutual assessment of the initial hypnosis experience. All additional sessions are instigated solely by the client's requirements.
