Healing and Hypnotherapy Volume 2, Issue 9, 1 March 2018 | Page 10

So I decided to focus on myself and work.
perhaps even reversing the entire aging process using all the
knowledge I had gained over 20 years.
As I was creating a website and Facebook page dedicated to
nothing but teaching and sharing the benefits of hypnosis to all of
those currently living in my home state of Mississippi. I worked on
the http://www.hypnosiscentersofmississippi.com
site and soon found myself looking for professional hypnosis
content to share on it. I wanted it to be an educational resource,
not a self-promoting business page so I invited other
hypnotherapists to help share info on hypnosis in general and the
many, many benefits.
I knew however that I too wanted to share some personal
experiences. But I had few to share. I had the knowledge but little
personal experience first hand.
(No pun intended). So I made a list of everything I could change
about myself using hypnosis. Even those areas that were very
embarrassing for me. After all, what a great testimonial. Right?
So after I had my entire list in front of me. I went to work on it.
Focusing on one issue at a time. I chose the thumbnail as my first
issue to work on. I figured seeing is believing and this would be a
great start.
I spent just a few nights on what I refer to as self-hypnosis
sessions to help heal my thumbnail . I knew I had to work on
the psychological
issues behind all my beliefs and fears
concerning the nail, not just the nail itself that was holding it back
from healing.
So I set out to treat myself as if I were my own client. I figured out
that it was the ugliness and embarrassment issues that caused
me the most trouble. So I first had to focus on what the nail looked
like regardless . This was to help me from staring at it daily and
having those negative thoughts continuously running through my
mind. So I took advantage of when my nail was clean and wet like
after I had bathed. I could cut as much of the nail away easier that
way . Over time I was able to detach over 2/3rds of the nail from
the nail- bed safely and without any pain.
