Healing and Hypnotherapy Volume - 3, Special Mega Annual Issue 15 June 2019 | Page 6

I’d venture to say that most, but likely all adults have heard the voice of
their childhood wounds speak to them, keeping them in limitation in one
way or another.
The executive who fears being discovered a fraud and losing his well-
established business…
the woman who has a pattern of dating abusive men…
the college scholarship athlete who experiences multiple injuries keeping
him sidelined….
the stressed-out working parent who has multiple physical ailments and
diagnoses of anxiety and depression….and the list goes on.
Some clients read off their list of diagnoses and pharmaceutical
prescriptions at the start of our session, as if to ‘warn’ me that they are
complicated and that my job may be nearly impossible. I’ve worked with
enough of these clients to understand the help that we can provide as
hypnotists is important indeed. In a few sessions, we witness tremendous
strides made by the most cynical of clients. In fact, a majority of these
clients show a great deal of improvement after one session, but I know that
the work is just beginning. There is more digging to do in the form of
regression therapy and there is healing to achieve with the inner child. The
power of forgiveness is usually the final process for a powerful
transformation.
One high-powered executive leaned forward in his chair to read off his list
of his medical diagnoses in a way that was meant to scare or intimidate
me. I mirrored his posture and leaned forward and said “I’m not intimidated.
I can work with you”. He seemed a bit shocked. He may’ve thought I was
going to decline working with him further. After one session, he returned to
the office inquiring whether other people experience success after one
session. I told him yes, people generally come back feeling more in control,
more empowered after listening to the recording I made for them on a daily
basis. It was only after this that he shared with me how things had
improved for him at work and at home.
