Whether at work or in personal matters, we often have to make phone calls in life. Sometimes it is unavoidable; other times, it’s simply much easier and quicker than searching for a contact form and waiting for a response.

Since most people haven't had particularly traumatic experiences with phones, unconscious associations are often made that don't necessarily fit together. That's why therapy for phone anxiety with hypnosis is so promising. If we want to overcome phone anxiety, we need to eliminate the unconscious causes and blockages accordingly.

Causes of Phone Phobia

Like many phobias and fears, the causes often lie in the subconscious. This does not function the same way as our conscious mind and needs to be approached differently, especially in treating social anxieties.

When we look at phone anxiety from the perspective of the subconscious mind, it’s certainly related to uncertainty. Since most people are mainly afraid of talking to strangers on the phone, this conclusion is obvious. We don't know who is on the other end of the line, how the conversation partner will react, and we have no time to think about a response, as everything happens spontaneously and in real-time.

This means that if someone is not very self-confident or is highly self-critical, making phone calls at work or home poses a risk. Our subconscious protects us from danger primarily through fear. It’s an unconscious signal of a threat, which may only exist in our imagination, but to which we can react as though it is absolutely real.

Sometimes it’s also the case that making phone calls is difficult when someone else is listening. This often involves a certain fear of judgment or criticism. If one is not skilled at tuning out distractions, this can further intimidate those affected.

This fear of making phone calls naturally leads to a kind of blockage, which then doesn’t make phone conversations much smoother. The unpleasant atmosphere or the lack of responses, for example, to unexpected questions, then confirms the fear and can lead to a full-blown phobia. If someone is terribly afraid of making phone calls, it usually didn’t start that way but has intensified over time.

So we can say that the causes of phone anxiety are often related to a lack of self-confidence, fear of judgment, and placing too much value on others' opinions.

Overcoming Phone Anxiety with Hypnosis

Hypnotherapy for phone anxiety generally has two components: The first is the general strengthening of self-confidence and spontaneity, which are important in interactions with others. The other part is the hypnotic communication of what we consciously know—that nothing can happen to us during a phone call. If we make this clear to the subconscious through hypnosis, the threat level of making phone calls decreases.

Speaking Spontaneously and Fluently

Most calls don't go according to the plan one has prepared in their head. Additionally, it might be the case that when the phone rings and someone calls you, there’s no time to make a plan.

To prevent fear from arising, whether when receiving or making a call, it's important to develop spontaneity through hypnosis and to trust in your gut feeling. It's not without reason that people say, "Speak from the heart" when they want to make a good impression. The mind is usually not quick or witty enough to find the right words.

This task must be entrusted to the subconscious to overcome communication barriers. To do this, we need to strengthen the connection between mind and heart, between conscious and subconscious, through hypnosis.

Confidence in Phone Conversations

Whether answering customer questions, getting your own questions answered, or securing a reservation at a restaurant, a phone conversation is usually something that benefits you.

If we teach this to the subconscious mind, making calls may not become your favorite activity, but it will become something you do for your own progress. When internal dialogues are geared toward positivity, a positive attitude also develops. This reduces shyness, nervousness, and stress, and creates a better mood.

Conclusion: Overcoming Phone Anxiety with Hypnosis

With these steps in hypnotherapy, fluid and anxiety-free speaking can emerge, making it possible to handle misunderstandings appropriately. This way, we can let go of avoidance in making phone calls and confidently pick up the phone with good communication skills.

Whether in phone contact or confidently giving presentations and speeches, the hypnotically learned skills can be transferred to all areas of life for greater success in all types of interpersonal interactions.

Hypnosis for pain treatment is becoming increasingly popular. Not only are operations now often performed under hypnosis in various hospitals, hypnosis can also be very helpful for patients with chronic pain.

Individual pain

So there is no such thing as "the pain", but rather a processing in the brain. However, this is not always consistent.

There are dull, throbbing, stabbing, burning and many other types of pain. Depending on how the pain arises or develops, it can also change or even radiate and move to other places.

Emotions in the perception of pain

Just like the perception of pain, the reaction to it is also different. Some people get angry when in pain, others cower away. Either way, prolonged pain saps your strength.

Our mood can also affect our perception of pain. Pain is experienced more strongly in depression, for example.

Pain can be changed

So pain can be changed. This means that we can change it with the right techniques. One of the best ways to change the sensation of pain is hypnosis. Hypnotic trance includes phenomena such as analgesia and anesthesia, which can be used.

One of the best ways to change the sensation of pain is hypnosis.

What can I expect from pain therapy with hypnosis?

Hypnotherapy can relieve acute pain and reduce chronic pain. For the client, this means that the pain can subside during the first treatment or even that complete freedom from pain can occur. Negative feelings and expectations about the pain can also disappear. The sensation of pain is directly reduced in the hypnotic trance.

What pain does hypnosis help with?

Hypnosis for pain can help with all types of pain. This includes, for example

Caution: Pain treatments with hypnosis should only be carried out if the symptoms have been clarified by a doctor.

Are you in pain?

Time and again in my practice in Zurich, I see pain patients being let down by orthodox medicine after a certain period of time. Perhaps you have already heard one of the standard phrases:

Such statements from doctors can be very demoralizing. However, you should not give up hope.

Fortunately, there are still hypnotherapists who can deal with the problem when other treatments have not (fully) worked. If you don't want to simply live with the pain, hypnotherapy may be the right choice.

How does pain arise?

All pain originates in the brain.

No matter where the pain receptors detect the injury, they transmit the signals to the brain via the spinal cord.

There, the signals are then interpreted as pain. This does not happen in one specific place, but affects many areas of the brain. For example, emotions and memory are also activated. This is clear because the aim of pain is always to avoid the trigger.

Even if the pain is perceived differently: It is very real for those affected.

Interesting: Because all pain originates in the brain, the brain itself is insensitive to pain.

Hypnosis helps when other treatments have not (fully) worked.

Pain therapy with hypnosis

The effect of hypnosis on pain is one of the best-researched areas of hypnosis. The effect of hypnosis for pain reduction is now even used in hospitals to perform operations without anesthesia. Pain can therefore be largely or even completely eliminated with hypnosis.

Although this is designed to have a short-term effect and the pain returns after a certain time, it is a good example of what is possible with hypnosis.

A holistic approach is used in hypnotherapy for pain in order to maintain the pain-relieving effect for longer or permanently. The more we incorporate the client's entire experience, the better the chances of success.

After the preliminary talk, the trance part of the treatment begins:

Step 1: Relieve acute pain

The first step is usually to free the client from acute pain, if there is any. The sensation of pain can be reduced in the trance. In this way, the client can fully engage with the treatment. It can also be very important to experience that the pain can change and that an improvement is possible.

We can also use this feeling of freedom from pain. We can expand it or let it wander, just as we need it. Sometimes it also helps if we assign a color or shape to the freedom from pain so that our unconscious can remember it better. A kind of mnemonic bridge for freedom from pain.

Step 2: Individual pain treatment

Pain therapy is most effective when it is tailored to our personal experience. In this step, I let the aspects related to the pain flow into your trance. In doing so, we release the entire pain complex. Emotions, beliefs and hopes can come into play here.

We also listen to the unconscious signals that can play a role in pain. These can be very individual, but it is important to listen. Sometimes backgrounds come to light that would never have been discovered without hypnosis. However, these are all the more important if we want to heal the pain completely. If the pain acts as a signal, it is all the more important to understand it.

It can also be important to focus on a pain-free future, as pain patients often can no longer imagine a life without pain. In this way, we show the unconscious alternatives for the future and can align our work accordingly.

The more aspects of the experience we include, the greater the chance of successful hypnotic treatment of the pain. Furthermore, we reduce the possibility of a relapse if we become aware of the background.

Step 3: Forget pain

An interesting possibility that only hypnotic trance offers is amnesia. Forgetting usually happens on its own, but it can also be induced intentionally with hypnosis.

If someone has lived with pain for a long time, it may have left its mark on many areas of their life. In order to live pain-free again, it is often necessary to forget the pain. The pain memory, which always leads back to the pain, is erased in this way.

The expectation, or even the fear, that the pain will return can also be removed in this way. This means that the quality of life is no longer restricted in any way by the pain.

Conclusion on pain therapy with hypnosis:

Hypnosis is very suitable for treating pain. The unique possibilities of hypnotic trance can also open up new treatment options for long-term pain patients.

The more offers there are for online hypnosis and hypnotherapy, the more often the question arises as to whether it really works. Basically, the answer to the question: "Does hypnosis work online?" is yes. As someone who very often carries out hypnotherapy online, I can say this with great certainty. Hypnosis basically works the same whether it is experienced digitally or analog.

However, the question may refer to recorded or live hypnosis. Hypnosis on YouTube or via video chat with a hypnotherapist works differently, of course.

In addition, the goal can be different. Some simply want to get into a trance with hypnosis, others want changes through hypnosis.

Effect of hypnosis

Basically, hypnosis has two effects, namely the creation of a trance and the influence on unconscious parts. The second effect belongs primarily to the category of hypnotherapy and is based on the first effect. In principle, it is possible to go into a hypnotic trance without a post-hypnotic change occurring. However, we cannot change anything hypnotically without a trance.

Both of these effects of hypnosis can be achieved via the internet. Anyone who has ever caught themselves in a trance, e.g. while watching online videos (even unrelated to hypnosis), knows that screens can be very hypnotic. People who are glued to their smartphones are often very absorbed in a trance. They tune out the world and focus on what is happening on the screen. We can use this in online hypnosis. The first effect is therefore certainly given with online hypnosis.

The second effect, namely the change, depends very much on the type of online hypnosis.

Types of hypnosis online

Now that we have evaluated the possible effects of hypnosis, we can look at the forms of hypnosis: recorded or live.

Recorded

Recorded online hypnosis includes everything from videos to audio recordings. These are available in various qualities and on various topics on the Internet. Certain hypnotists have built their entire business on selling hypnosis mp3s. Now we can ask ourselves whether and why recorded hypnosis works online or not.

In principle, most hypnotic media can put people into a hypnotic trance. In most cases, the audio track is sufficient, as most people close their eyes for hypnosis anyway. This means that audio files can also function as hypnosis.

The question is not so easy to answer when it comes to the change process of this recorded hypnosis. This is because the second effect of hypnosis is not necessarily dependent on the subject, but on the person. If the recorded hypnosis is appropriate and permissive, it can certainly work. However, most of the hypnosis I have heard on the internet is often not very elegant. The more straightforward and commanding a hypnotherapy is, the less people, or their unconscious, are picked up by it. I always have clients who have listened to a lot of hypnosis on YouTube or similar without feeling any great effect. If what is said does not fit, then our unconscious often gets in the way and a certain mood may be created, but sometimes the effect cannot unfold.

The transformative function of hypnosis in this form of online hypnosis is therefore limited for many people. However, this does not mean that you cannot be hypnotized. Because everyone can be hypnotized with the right hypnosis

Live

The hypnosis that works best online is not recorded. This means that the hypnotherapist can tailor his hypnosis to the reaction of the hypnotized person. In contrast to recording, individual characteristics can also be taken into account. Not everyone likes "the white of the snow-covered mountains" and not everyone relaxes to the "sound of the waves". Certain suggestions such as diving into the sea can even do more harm than good. In personal live hypnosis, these facts can of course be taken into account.

The better the hypnotic suggestions fit our subconscious world, the better they are usually accepted and incorporated. That is why the personal touch is generally recommended for online hypnotherapy.

Does online hypnotherapy via video chat work?

One-to-one hypnotherapy via video chat is of course the most successful method of hypnosis online. In my experience, hypnotherapy sessions via video chat work just as well as those in person. Sometimes they even work better.

People are very good at allowing themselves to be influenced by their surroundings. The effect of hypnosis is therefore also linked to the environment. The skilled hypnotherapist naturally makes use of this: "Every time you walk through the door, your inner self will remind you that...". However, experience shows that this application is less effective than hypnosis at home. I have often experienced in my practice that someone has tied the change to the premises and the transfer to everyday life was more difficult. However, if someone with sleep disorders, for example, is lying in bed for hypnotherapy, this connection can become much stronger. I had a client with whom this happened and she was able to fall asleep free of insomnia because she automatically remembered the images of hypnosis in bed.

Conclusion

Hypnosis can work well online if you let it work on you in the right way. Hypnotherapy works just as well or even better online than in person.

Hypnosis is an effective tool that can help in the treatment of inferiority complexes. In this article, I discuss the benefits of hypnosis and explain how it can be used to treat inferiority complexes.

People with these complexes often suffer from feelings of inadequacy and a lack of self-confidence. They lack the ability to recognize their positive qualities and realize their full potential. The feeling of being worthless and undeserving can manifest itself in many different ways.

Hypnotherapy can help with any kind of inferiority problem, reducing self-criticism and devaluation and building a healthy self-esteem. If you feel inferior, hypnosis can help.

Inferiority complexes from the perspective of the unconscious mind

Our unconscious wants to ensure our survival at all times. To do this, it is automatically constantly evaluating the situation and other people. This usually does not happen consciously As our unconscious mind is not really based on facts and figures, it is not based on rational considerations but also on a kind of emotional self-image. This self-image is the feeling you have about yourself. If this is negative, we can speak of a feeling of inferiority. Most people experience this in their lives and it can be quite normal. For many, it is even an incentive to improve.

If this self-image is permanently negative and you have the feeling that you come off badly every time you compare yourself, this can lead to inferiority complexes. This constant negative judgment and self-criticism can make you hypersensitive. This kind of feeling inferior can trigger a lot of critical behavior.

This self-image is usually rationalized afterwards, i.e. people look for reasons why other people make them feel this way. This can be based on looks, successes or any other kind of measure. The most important thing is that the feeling almost always comes first.

Sensitivity means that even trivial things in everyday life are evaluated as an attack or threat, and the unconscious reacts to these in four different ways:

This means that either the inferiority can show itself in the form of putting oneself down or I can overcompensate with delusions of grandeur and arrogance.

Auf diese Weise will das Unbewusste ein Gleichgewicht erreichen und seine eigenen Unzulänglichkeiten überwinden.

Causes of feelings of inferiority

We learn a lot about ourselves early on in childhood. We begin to treat ourselves in the same way as our environment and, above all, our surroundings treat us. The image of others thus becomes our self-image and children tend to believe what they are shown or told about themselves.

What I often hear is something along the lines of "Nothing was ever good enough for my mother/father". This doesn't even have to be said, the behavior alone is enough for the child to understand something like this.

Even if parents often make comparisons with others or treat others better than themselves in principle, this can unconsciously reduce their own self-esteem.

If someone submits to this negative image of themselves, they may behave in accordance with it, even though they could do better. This often leads to a guilty conscience, remorse or feelings of shame and you make yourself and feel small and insignificant in order to conform to the requirements of this role.

The two images of oneself can also come into conflict, especially when the inner image of the self does not match the image ascribed to it from the outside. Then I often hear variations of "I hate it when someone accuses me of something that is not true". This shows the inner conflict of these demands on one's own being.

Effects of self-criticism

If you are very hard and self-critical, then your self-esteem is often in the cellar. Either the reaction is that you don't do anything because it can only be wrong or bad anyway. Or, conversely, someone is constantly running for others to please and prove their own worth through their actions.

In addition, it is hardly possible to accept compliments or recognize one's own achievements. I often hear from my clients that they see their successes as great in their heads, but don't "feel" them.

Many are also driven by an exaggerated sense of duty or an attempt to do everything right. This is also to compensate for self-perceived imperfection. Constant comparisons, especially upward comparisons, also perpetuate the negative self-image.

If you think you are lacking something, you tend to look for it in others. Inferiority complexes in relationships and partnerships can mean that you put up with a lot more than you would with a healthy self-confidence.

How to recognize the inferiority syndrome

Inferiority complexes can be difficult to recognize as they can go in two different directions. However, one can recognize the sensitivity and the fact that one's own is never good enough in most with inferiority complex.

The feelings of inferiority are often not necessarily perceptible as such, but it is rather the way you treat yourself that suggests that you at least unconsciously consider yourself to be inferior.

If you have a certain form of addiction to criticism or are very self-critical, this type of self-doubt may also be present.

The importance of mindfulness disorders in relationships and partnerships

Inferiority complexes can have a significant impact on relationships and partnerships. In many cases, these complexes are caused by self-doubt, which manifests itself in the form of insecurity and a lack of confidence. This can lead to conflicts that are difficult to resolve. Another problem is that inferiority complexes are often unconscious. This means that other reasons for jealousy or irascibility are often sought first. Usually initially with the other person.

On the other hand, it is also possible that the symptoms of inferiority manifest themselves as submissiveness and idolization of the other person. I have also had clients who alternated between submissiveness and raging jealousy.

Excessive inferiority and how it can manifest itself

Feelings of inferiority are a sense of deep dissatisfaction and inadequacy. People with inferiority complexes often believe that they are worth less than others and for this reason find it difficult to make decisions or persuade others. They tend to exhibit self-doubting behavior and question their decisions, which can ultimately prevent them from moving forward. Low self-esteem can also lead to people not being able to accept or allow criticism. Sometimes it is difficult for a person with an inferiority complex to build confidence in their own abilities and decision-making skills.

When trying to help someone with an inferiority complex, it is important to first better understand and find out what exactly is causing the problem. Through hypnosis, those affected learn to understand and accept what their problem is about and receive help to tackle it effectively and better manage inner conflicts.

Hypnotherapy can be helpful to get rid of inferiority complexes and to be able to continue to participate positively in life without being affected by negative thoughts.

Hypnosis for inferiority complexes

Hypnosis is an effective treatment option for inferiority complexes. Hypnosis has proven to be an effective way to identify and treat the underlying problem. During hypnosis, patients can be led to let go of negative emotions and uncover the roots of insecurity. With the help of hypnotherapy, the patient's self-esteem can be built up and strengthened.

The techniques of hypnotherapy help to allow and strengthen the self directly in the unconscious in order to get blocked feelings flowing again. This can improve the patient's condition by overcoming their negative thought processes and strengthening their self-esteem.

Hypnotherapy is an effective way to address inferiority complexes in a sustainable way. There is promising evidence that the use of this technique can provide positive results for people with inferiority complexes. Therefore, it is advisable to seek professional help from a qualified hypnotist when needed in order to get the most out of the process and build strong self-esteem.

How hypnotherapy works for feelings of inferiority

Hypnosis is an effective way to alleviate the symptoms of inferiority complexes. It can be used as a form of hypnotherapy to help sufferers change their thoughts and feelings about their self-image. One of the effects of hypnosis is that it enables the sufferer to delve deeper into their inner structures and concepts and deal with their problems at a deeper level.

In the treatment of inferiority complexes, hypnotherapists can help their patients to reach these levels and develop new strategies for coping with the symptoms. This can be achieved through hypnotic suggestion. In a hypnotic session, we break down what has come from the outside, be it upbringing, childhood experiences or negative experiences, and instead invite the unconscious to use more of the inner nature. Because everyone has everything they need to live with a healthy self-confidence.

Conclusion

To summarize, hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool for treating feelings of low self-worth. Inferiority complexes can be tackled directly at the root cause in the hypnotic trance. In this way we can reduce the negative effects and move away from self-criticism towards support. In addition, emotional wounds can be healed in order to achieve optimal inner balance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I resolve inferiority complexes?

Our own identity and self-worth are deeply rooted within us. It is often difficult to consciously change this. This is why hypnotherapy is very helpful in resolving inferiority complexes, as the causes can be tackled directly in the unconscious.

How does an inferiority complex manifest itself?

The reaction to the feeling of one's own inferiority can basically go in two directions: Into submissiveness or overcompensation. The one is manifested by withdrawing and putting up with everything and the other by arrogance or perfectionism

How does an inferiority complex develop?

Nobody invents their own inferiority. In other words, you have learned this self-image somewhere. It usually comes from the way you were treated by your parents. But childhood experiences or traumatic experiences can also lead to an inferior sense of self-worth.

Can inferiority complexes be cured?

Yes, it is possible to resolve inferiority complexes. To do this, it is necessary to change your self-image deep within your own unconscious. The best method for this is hypnotherapy, as the hypnotic trance works directly in the unconscious.

Why am I worth so little to myself?

Your own self-worth is usually not set by yourself, but by childhood experiences or treatment by others, especially your parents. If you are shown that you are worth nothing, then at some point you start to believe it.

The repeated touching, squeezing, plucking or scratching of your own skin can range from annoying to destructive.

Either way, it involves a psychological and emotional component. This is exactly the part we tackle with hypnosis against skin picking. Because even if other methods have already been tried, hypnosis can help you to leave yourself alone.

Dermatillomania: compulsion or addiction

When mania appears in the name, too much energy is usually directed to the wrong place.

Skin picking is referred to as an impulse control disorder. For me as a hypnotherapist, however, controlling impulses is much less important than guiding my clients to the point where they have no impulses at all.

In addition, the question is often asked whether skin picking disorder is an addiction or an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

For me in hypnosis, this does not play a major role. Nor does it matter whether it is a mental illness or a mental disorder.

So the name of the problem is less important to me than the form of the solution. For me, skin picking therapy with hypnosis consists of stopping the skin picking by changing the unconscious triggers and using the energy for positive things.

Skin picking from the hypnosis perspective

According to the cliché, the view of hypnosis goes a little deeper with most problems. Because the experienced hypnotherapist knows that the unconscious never does anything just like that.

Even self-harming behavior like skin picking has a certain positive intention. Of course, many of those affected think to themselves "No, that's just stupid" or "I have to stop", but perhaps it is precisely this "making yourself look bad" that is part of the problem.

The unconscious wants survival, not necessarily a good life. For this reason, skin picking is a way of dealing with inner impulses and emotions.

Valve

We have to deal with negative emotions, stress or tension somehow. There are more suitable and less suitable techniques. Destroying your own skin belongs in the second category. Nevertheless, it can give us an indication of emotions that are not given enough attention. Anyone who harms someone usually doesn't like that person very much, especially if it's themselves.

Self-criticism

It is probably no coincidence that skin picking often happens on the face or in other obvious places. The inside is carried to the outside and not leaving one's own skin alone or even destroying it is therefore usually the ultimate self-criticism. This also creates a vicious circle, because every time you look in the mirror, more rejection of yourself arises.

Auto Aggression

Skin pickers often reveal a subliminal aggression against themselves. This auto-aggression can also be a sign of rejection of oneself or parts of oneself.

Most people who do skin picking would not describe themselves as aggressive.

However, this is often where the problem lies. Because if you don't allow yourself to let it out and assert yourself, the frustration and stress often remain pent up.

Hypnotherapy for skin picking disorder

The goal of hypnotherapy for skin picking is, of course, the ability to leave oneself alone. However, the path to this goal can vary.

The advantage of hypnosis for skin picking is that we can tackle the problem directly in the subconscious. This approach therefore has a higher probability of success than many other treatment methods.

Leave the skin alone and stop skin picking

Experience has shown that there are many reasons for stress and overwhelming emotions.

However, the solution is often a calmer way of dealing with feelings. If we can hypnotically bring calm to our inner life, we can reduce stress. And this usually has a positive effect. The calmness then often spreads to the skin.

Leaving it alone has two meanings and is often the first step in acute cases.

Self-image

Our perception of ourselves has a major influence on our behavior. And it is precisely this perception and evaluation that we can influence with hypnosis.

In this way, we can transform the assessment of skin picking in treatment from "bad" and "wrong" to "ok". This has the great advantage that the behavior no longer causes stress, as it is then neither good nor bad, but simply ok.

This has a generally positive influence on self-image and reduces rejection.

Respect yourself

Many people always talk about self-love. However, love is not always the best guide. When I do skin picking therapy with hypnosis, the basis is therefore self-respect.

If we respect someone, we usually leave them alone and don't pick on them. This respect can also lead to liking.

If this happens to ourselves, we can stop skin picking and switch to positive self-care.

So with hypnotherapy we learn to tackle the same problems and emotions, but in a positive, uplifting way.

Those who respect themselves look after themselves and their own skin, even in stressful situations.

Dermatillomania online therapy with hypnosis

Dermatillomania online therapy with hypnosis is an effective method for treating skin picking disorder. By using hypnosis techniques, the underlying causes and triggers of the compulsive behavior can be identified and dealt with.

Skin picking online hypnotherapy offers the advantage that it can be carried out from the comfort of your own home and can therefore be flexibly integrated into your everyday life. It gives those affected the opportunity to receive help with skin picking from anywhere and improve their quality of life in the long term.

Conclusion

Hypnosis helps with skin picking by directly addressing the underlying unconscious causes. By resolving the psychological causes, the skin can be left alone and there is the necessary support to stop skin picking. Skin picking treatment with hypnotherapy can also be used in combination with other therapy methods.

Do you find yourself putting off important tasks? Have you tried all sorts of techniques to motivate yourself, but nothing seems to work? If so, hypnosis against procrastination could be the answer you've been looking for.

Procrastination is a widespread phenomenon that many people experience in their daily lives. It can affect productivity, satisfaction and general well-being. Procrastination can sometimes be attributed to a lack of motivation or discipline, but can also be the result of deeper psychological or emotional issues. Hypnosis is a tool that has gained popularity in recent years as a possible solution to procrastination.

In this article, I will explain how hypnosis can be used as an effective treatment for procrastination and procrastinationitis. We'll look at how it can help you overcome your own procrastination issues. Read on to find out more about how this ancient therapeutic method can help you succeed in your life!

Unconscious reasons for procrastination

There are many reasons for procrastination and perpetual postponement. Be it due to fear of failure, a lack of self-worth or self-respect or unrealistic goals.

Many of those affected have the feeling that they are simply lazy. Experience has shown that it is hardly ever "just laziness", but that very often forms of self-rejection are hidden behind it. Fortunately, hypnosis is an effective tool against procrastination that can help those affected to find the cause of their problem and develop successful strategies for dealing with it.

Hypnosis enables people to become aware of their unconscious patterns of thought and behavior, as well as unconscious intentions, which may be contributing to the problem of procrastination. Through hypnosis, they can better tune into the feelings and emotions associated with the activities they are avoiding.

Hypnotherapy enables sufferers to directly engage their subconscious mind to recognize the reasons for avoiding certain activities or tasks. With this new awareness comes understanding, control over one's thoughts and emotions and a new sense of purpose in accomplishing the tasks at hand.

How can hypnosis help with procrastination?

Hypnosis is a popular treatment method for various problems, including procrastination. By recognizing the causes and the possibility of directly influencing them unconsciously, hypnosis can help to find the drive and motivation.

During hypnosis sessions, clients are put into a hypnotic state and receive suggestions that can help their unconscious mind to reorganize their thoughts and behaviour. Clients are encouraged to focus on their goals and work towards them without letting fear or anxiety hold them back. All kinds of emotions associated with moving forward can be addressed with hypnosis.

The hypnotic suggestions can also give the patient new perspectives on their actions and decisions in order to free themselves from patterns of procrastination. This can be an effective tool to motivate people and realize their goals. With the help of hypnotherapy, individuals can learn to manage their emotions and behavior to overcome procrastination.

Advantages of hypnosis for procrastination

Hypnosis is an effective method that can help people overcome procrastination. It has been proven to help people improve their self-control and self-discipline. Hardly any other method can achieve this so quickly and efficiently, because hypnosis works directly on the unconscious mind. The conscious mind does not even have to understand what exactly is going on. In this way, we can bypass all forms of self-criticism, self-doubt, bad conscience and the like and make positive progress.

Treating the causes

In addition, as explained above, we can better identify and resolve the causes. Procrastination often also has a positive intention, but this can be better achieved in other ways. In this way, we turn all conscious and unconscious parts into a team that pulls together.

Stay focused

Hypnosis makes it possible to direct the focus and thus the concentration. When all the negative feelings are left out, the tasks themselves become less of a challenge. This sorting out leads to higher productivity and less time lost to procrastination. Hypnosis also makes it possible to change thought patterns and release blockages, so that negative thoughts can be replaced by more positive ones, which helps him to stay on the right track and not to tackle upcoming tasks at the last minute.

Is procrastination laziness?

Many people confuse procrastination with laziness. Procrastination is not necessarily a sign of a lack of motivation or effort, but rather of negative emotions associated with the task. Laziness is just a superficial way of looking at something that goes much deeper. Our unconscious wants to protect us from harm. For example, if we have unattainable goals or feel very incapable, then logically the most sensible thing to do is nothing. The pressure we put on ourselves when we should be doing something but are putting it off can also lead to such a protective reaction.

Procrastination and self-esteem

In the vast majority of cases, procrastination has its roots in anxiety and a lack of self-esteem. To really overcome procrastination, it is important to understand why we do it in the first place and how it affects our self-esteem.

It can be hard to do something without hesitation when our minds are full of worry and doubt about our own abilities. Afraid of failing or not living up to expectations, we put off tasks until the last minute or don't tackle them at all. This behavior can be incredibly damaging to our self-esteem as we feel guilty for not following through with our plans and begin to doubt ourselves even more.

So what can you do? It's important to combat the negative thoughts that are holding you back from taking action. If we see ourselves as capable and worthy, no matter what the outcome, then we can go forth liberated. If we can build self-confidence and your self-worth with hypnosis, then we also influence the diligence of the work.

Hypnotherapy against procrastination

Questions and answers on hypnosis for procrastination therapy

What is procrastination?

Procrastination is the behaviour of repeatedly putting off tasks or responsibilities and pursuing distractions or other activities instead. It is a widespread phenomenon that can affect both professional and private areas of life.

Why do we procrastinate?

There are many reasons why people procrastinate, including fear of failure, excessive demands, perfectionism, lack of motivation and self-regulation. Procrastination can also be a symptom of depression or anxiety. The unconscious wants to protect us from harm and so slams on the brakes

Can hypnosis help against procrastination?

Yes, hypnosis can help treat procrastination by helping to change negative thought patterns or deep-rooted fears or beliefs that cause procrastination.

How many hypnosis sessions are required to treat procrastination?

The number of sessions needed to successfully treat procrastination can vary depending on the person and their individual condition. However, several sessions are usually required to achieve long-term changes.

Are you tired of the constant pressure to be perfect? Do you feel trapped in a cycle of self-criticism and fear of failure? Hypnotherapy can help you get rid of perfectionism.

Hypnosis against perfectionism offers a solution to break out of this exhausting pattern. The beliefs and emotions that drive perfectionism are often unconscious and cannot be reached with the conscious mind alone.

I often hear "I know it's not good for me, but..." So it's hardly possible to achieve lasting change with your head alone.

Hypnosis, on the other hand, can help to develop a more balanced and compassionate view of oneself on a subconscious level.

It's time to let go of the grip of perfectionism and live a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Main findings

Understanding perfectionism and its effects

Perfectionism is characterized by a perfectionist mindset, where unrealistically high expectations are placed on oneself and sometimes others. This mindset often leads to increased anxiety, as perfectionists are constantly worried about making mistakes or failing to meet their own unattainably high standards. This striving for perfection can often lead to success in certain areas such as work, but what I often see with my clients is that other areas are neglected. As a result, their own existence is often described as "functioning" rather than "living".

Unconsciously, one's own identity is mixed up with one's own activity and so one has to constantly do one's best just to be enough. Very often I also see an increased need for recognition, especially from authority figures.

Perfectionists therefore often experience increased stress levels, lower self-esteem and are more prone to developing anxiety and depression, even if they are successful at work or sport.

Perfectionism can also be a strain on relationships, as people with perfectionist tendencies can place unrealistic expectations on others, which can lead to tense interactions and feelings of disappointment. The conscientiousness in every activity that many perfectionists have is then often lacking in their partner, leading to relationship problems. Conversely, the constant fear of not being enough can also lead to excessive "wanting to be right" or clinging.

Recognizing the negative effects of perfectionism is the first step to overcoming it and promoting a healthier approach to performance and personal growth.

Getting rid of perfectionism with hypnosis

How hypnosis works for perfectionism

Hypnosis can help people overcome perfectionism by reducing their subconscious beliefs and demands to a manageable level. Not operating behind all the time can also promote self-acceptance.

Our own identity and "being good" is brought from within in order to free it from the high expectations and also bring it to a level of "at least ok". If we can reduce self-criticism, then we expand the scope for positive developments.

Through hypnosis, we can discover and resolve the causes of perfectionist behavior. Even if many people don't want to hear it, the truth is that we find the earliest causes in childhood with the parents. Sometimes it is the upbringing or the parenting methods, sometimes it is simply the self-esteem that is exemplified, which makes children hard and self-critical. Sometimes this manifests itself at an early age, e.g. in exam nerves or performance anxiety.

Hypnotherapy helps to direct the learned self-treatment in a benevolent way and to leave other views outside. This can often put an end to brooding and promote spontaneity, which then also increases the quality of life.

In addition, hypnosis promotes self-awareness, which makes it possible to recognize one's own successes as such.

Break out of perfectionist thought patterns.

To overcome perfectionist tendencies, you have to realize that perfection is an unattainable goal and that striving for it only leads to stress and dissatisfaction.

The challenge of unrealistic standards is to set more realistic and achievable goals and focus on progress rather than perfection. Reducing self-criticism also means practicing self-compassion and acknowledging that mistakes, imperfections and overachievement are a natural part of growth and learning.

Developing a growth mindset means embracing challenges and seeing them as opportunities for growth rather than failures. Fostering self-compassion and self-respect means being kind to yourself and treating yourself with the same understanding and forgiveness you would likely offer others.

Bringing balance into life

Truly successful people have all realized that you can only have lasting success in life if you live in balance. Hard work also requires deep relaxation as a balance and being able to do this is one of the goals of perfectionism therapy.

One-sidedness is against nature and so it is also necessary not to treat yourself like a broken robot but like a complete living being and an intact human being.

Conclusion: shed perfectionism with hypnosis

It is possible to build a benevolent self-image if we can replace the perpetuating beliefs with positive ones. Hypnosis is a very effective tool for this, as we can access unconscious resources and possibilities in order to renounce flawlessness and instead achieve a complete and contented life.

Shedding perfectionism with hypnosis can be the first step towards a more pleasant and balanced future.

If you have decided to undergo hypnosis or hypnotherapy, the question often arises as to whether health insurance companies pay for hypnosis. Since I get this question so often, I have asked all the statutory health insurance companies in Switzerland and here is the answer to the question of whether the health insurance company pays for hypnotherapy:

Health insurance companies that recognize hypnosis - Insurance List Switzerland 2023

As you can see in the following table, Switzerland is a developing country when it comes to the recognition of hypnosis by health insurance companies.

I got the initial list from the FOPH's directory of health insurers. The request to the Swiss basic insurers was more laborious than expected. I asked them directly whether they would cover hypnosis or hypnotherapy. Most of them understood the request, but there were health insurers who refused to provide information without me being insured with them. I have noted this in the table. With the exception of Swica, I have not included basic insurers from whom I did not receive a reply in the table.

Does basic insurance cover hypnosis?

Basic health insurance in Switzerland does not cover the costs of hypnotherapy. This also applies to medical hypnosis and even if other therapy methods have not been successful. Without supplementary insurance, hypnosis is not covered by health insurance and is not a health insurance benefit,

EMR/ASCA recognition

Unfortunately, many insurance companies rely on the private company called EMR (short for Erfahrungsmedizinisches Register) to recognize therapy methods. Contrary to all scientific findings, this company excludes hypnosis. The competitor certificate of the ASCA of the Foundation for Complementary Medicine, on the other hand, recognizes hypnotherapy as a therapy method. Unfortunately, of the insurance companies we asked, only rhenusana referred to this label.

Conclusion Hypnosis Health Insurance Switzerland

In principle, hypnotherapy is therefore not recognized by health insurance companies in Switzerland. Only 4 of the insurances requested pay for hypnosis under the right circumstances and only the EGK pays for hypnosis with every therapist and for every topic.

What is addiction?

In order to use hypnosis for the fight against addiction, we must first understand understand what addiction is. The definition of addiction is the irresistible craving for a substance or condition. So this addiction can be substance or non-substance. Generally speaking, you can be addicted to just about anything. If we have a desire for it, then it can already tend towards addiction or dependence. dependence.

Often, however, the transition between normal behavior and addiction is fluid. With substances, one speaks of abuse when the consumption of normal use becomes addictive behavior. In such cases we also speak of dependence syndrome. At the latest when the behavior becomes harmful and dysfunctional in relation to the addictive substance, it becomes becomes clear to most that something is wrong. Since addiction is considered a disease the term addictive disease is often used.

So, curing the sufferers from addiction is the goal of addiction therapy with hypnosis.

Examples of addictions:

Causes of addiction

The unconscious mind, which we all have, is usually very pragmatic. It takes the solution it has available and often the one that is easiest. This has apparently proven itself in the course of evolution. It also relies on the reward center in the brain. This evaluates our world, so to speak, according to the amount of happiness hormones released.

That which helps us survive is still rewarded with good feelings. Addictive substances trigger exactly these good feelings. Either because they fit the 4 Fs of survival, like food or sex, or because they simulate something to our brain, like cocaine or computer games.

Most people have various possibilities to reach their desired feelings of happiness. If many things fit, we have a good foundation of satisfaction and a good inner feeling of wholeness. People with such a good basis can usually also consume addictive substances from time to time without becoming dependent.

People who develop a dependency (getting hooked) and get hooked on the addictive substance like a fish on a hook, therefore, have other causes than just consumption. The worm alone is not enough, the hook is also needed.

If something is missing...

Prerequisites for addiction

But what is this hook that is present in some and not in others?

I have dealt with many clients who were addicted to a wide variety of substances. substances and it was always similar in the end: something that is missing.

Our unconscious is always looking for wholeness and balance. So when we lack something, it is not simply left out. It is replaced by something else that has a similar effect. So if we lack the good feelings from the inside, it will have to be supplied from the outside.

Das Unbewusstsein schliesst die Lücke so gut es kann. Dort wo eigentlich etwas anderes sein sollte, wie zum Beispiel gute Familienverhältnisse, Selbstwert, Optimismus, ein starkes Selbstbewusstsein, Erfüllung, ein gestärkter Sinn für sich etc. kommen die Suchtmittel hin. Sucht Schweiz nennt diese Mängel «Risikofaktoren».

Aus «nur einmal ausprobieren» wird das Mittel um die Leere zu füllen. Und je grösser die Lücke klafft, desto mehr und stärkeres muss konsumiert werden, um das Loch zu füllen.

Developing addiction

Most people at the beginning of an addiction still think that they have everything under control. They think they are "strong enough" to stop again. That may be true, but with addiction problems, sheer willpower is usually not enough.

One of the reasons for this is that dependence increases over time. This is because our unconscious processes rely more and more on the addictive substance. Since consumption is usually the easiest way to achieve feelings of happiness, other, less stimulating activities take a back seat. The whole life revolves more and more around something.

The addictive substance becomes the only solution to certain or even all problems. Therefore, it is logical that the craving then also becomes greater and greater, even if we no longer want it.

Often, the first attempt to stop is made at some point. This causes massive stress for the entire system. And what does the addict do to relieve stress? He reaches for the addictive substance. This vicious circle often nips addiction cessation in the bud.

If you notice that you are reducing yourself more and more to the addictive substance and can no longer stop on your own, it is time to get help. A wide variety of methods can be used to do this.

Hypnotherapy is one of the therapy methods whose effect is increasingly proven. For example, in one study, hypnosis in groups was shown to have a 77% success rate after at least one year in alcohol addicts.

Vorteile der Hypnose zur Suchtbekämpfung

What makes hypnosis so effective for fighting addiction is that we can get to the root of the addiction. We deliver the appropriate interventions directly to the unconscious. That is, we give the unconscious direct suggestions to what is really what makes the difference.

Many actions that addicts take are neither logical nor make sense to the conscious mind. What I often hear is "I know it makes no sense, but I do it anyway". This is a classic case of unconscious dynamics that cannot be influenced better by any other method than hypnosis. To be able to change something in the processes of the subconscious, we use hypnosis for addictions.

Hypnosis brings possibilities

Course of addiction therapy with hypnosis

What is important to say beforehand: In the minds of many people there is still the idea that in hypnosis it happens in such a way that the hypnotist or hypnotherapist snaps his fingers, the client faints and upon awakening all problems are solved forever. Sure, there are still hypnotists who offer such things, but professional hypnosis looks different. Anyone who comes to a hypnosis practice with the idea that hypnosis will "fix you from the outside" will almost always be disappointed. Especially with addictions and hypnosis, there is often the idea that everything is solved with a flick of the wrist. That's why I'm writing this as an explanation.

Hypnosis can make a lot of things easier and sometimes even be the only way to get away from something, but usually not in one session. And actually it always takes change to change something.

Wenn wir also mit den passenden Erwartungen an die Sache herangehen, dann können wir grosse Erfolge haben.

Individual therapy

Addiction therapy with hypnosis is tailored to each client. The interventions with hypnosis can be as different as the person himself.

In order for me to get the whole picture, I involve my clients' whole selves. So we don't just talk about the addiction or problems in the algine mind, but also about resources. This is important so that we can use what is there. So we see what is there and what is missing. In hypnotherapy we use everything that the client brings with him.

On an unconscious level, we also search for the causes or the hooks that make us cling to the addiction. These dynamics are often unconscious, which is why it is also important to search for clues here.

When we have found what is missing, then we can set about building it.

Interior strengthening

To really get away from addiction, it usually takes an inner strength that goes far beyond "pure willpower". In order to be able to stand firm enough, you also need a good foundation of inner convictions and feelings. This positive inner atmosphere and sense of self that contain the risk and act as protective factors against relapse.

Wenn diese grundlegenden Aspekte nicht vorhanden sind, dann können wir sie zuerst entwickeln (lassen) im Innern.

Selbstheilung starten

Self-healing in addicts can include many things. Not only the physical healing in case of damage, but also the mental healing is meant. Healing hypnosis works in many areas.

Many people behave differently than they would otherwise because of the disease of addiction. For this reason, you often find a lot of self-loathing among addicts. Healing these psychological wounds is often a big part of fighting addiction and preventing relapse.

It doesn't necessarily have to be self-forgiveness, but the view of one's own value has a big impact. Whoever feels himself to be valuable enough again, can also be worth it again not to do the addictive stuff to himself anymore. Those who feel guilty accept almost any punishment, including the life of an addict.

If we also use hypnotherapy to cause the mental wounds to heal and increase self-worth, then these one-sidednesses in life can be resolved again.

Preventing relapses

Once it has been possible to get away from the addictive substance for a certain time, then the greatest danger is to relapse again. If old patterns of addiction show up again, then this is usually an indication that in certain cases the unconscious still reaches for the addictive substance in order to try to solve certain problems. Therefore, it is important for relapse prevention to learn and practice the emotional skills to recognize these situations and inner processes early enough.

If something like this is recognized, the conscious mind can also help and learn to intervene directly. For example, through active self-hypnosis. This is also trained in the comprehensive treatment concept.

hypnosis for addiction

The goal

The goal of treatment of addiction is that the addictive substance is no longer needed. Not only in the sense of taking away the craving, but also to develop such inner competencies that it no longer needs a substitute.

Hypnotic addiction treatment from the ground up is designed to change sensibilities, thinking and behavior so that addictive substances are no longer needed as a crutch to get through life.

Conclusion:

Hypnosis for the treatment of addiction helps on several levels and also where the conscious mind has no direct access.

This gives us options for treating addiction that can make all the important difference.

Hypnosis has helped many lead addiction-free lives and should be included in any treatment for addiction.
