Perhaps it feels like the forces of dark and light, good and evil, positivity and
negativity…
But it’s not so black and white.
To restore inner calm and start living up to your full potential you need to
embrace the idea that this conflict can be resolved and the rift between you
and this other part of you can be HEALED. You see, you don’t want to spend
the rest of your life arguing with yourself… how can you expect to have
healthy relationships if you can’t find peace with yourself?
You don’t want to be bullied by your own mind… if you can’t find self-respect,
how can you ever earn the respect of others? You don’t want to live in fear…
you want to foster courage and adventure within so that you can expand your
comfort zone.
So how do you resolve the conflict?
Maybe this is the first time you’ve ever considered that there are parts of your
unconscious mind who are talking to you. Maybe you’ve spent most of your
life assuming that these thoughts are ‘intrusive thoughts’, never giving
much thought to where they come from. Because of that assumption you
didn’t give much thought to how you should respond to them.
You became like the captain of a ship barking orders at a disgruntled crew on
the verge of mutiny, not caring to listen to the sage advice of your first mate,
navigator or chief engineer. And, dismissing the criticisms of your rivals and
competitors!
You became a tyrant in your own mind, communicating solely for your own
benefit. You can’t go on like this. Not if you want to achieve inner harmony
and unlock your potential for greatness. Something needs to change…
You need to become acquainted with the parts of your unconscious mind.  
You need to start respecting them and you need to help them to heal from
the traumas of the past.
You see, it’s those traumas which cause the negativity in your internal
dialogue… but there’s an issue: YOU probably don’t know what they are?
At least not consciously.
However the parts of your unconscious mind do know what the traumas are.
This is what makes hypnotherapy so extraordinarily powerful:
In the hypnotic state parts of your unconscious mind can communicate with
you far more clearly that they do right now.
