Healing and Hypnotherapy Volume 1, Issue 9, (1 March 2017) | Page 8

I ' ve seen some of my clients making a progress, otherwise, would only possible through years of conventional therapy.
Having seen clients daily for hypnosis, I am seeing over and over again how different we all are even in relation to hypnosis. Some of us are very open and even adventurous when it comes to hypnosis. Some of people understand that hypnosis is an effective modality and are willing to try with hopes that it may help to bring about positive changes. And there are always people that are not so open to hypnosis. There is still to this day a veil of mystery covers hypnosis. There are still a lot of misconceptions about what we do as hypnotists.

Up to this moment, you have not been able to finish any of your projects, but it’ s only up to this moment. Starting now, this is not true anymore. It is the part of your past now. In fact, probably by the time you live my office, you won’ t even remember about that part of you. The part of you that was sabotaging you. It is gone now …”
And I would continue working my way through each card. You can reframe each limiting belief or fear in one card spread. You can help painful memories to fade. You can create detachment from the past lovers. You can create a clear picture of the future and work up the action plan. I found
