Those who lack basic trust will notice this sooner or later. At some point in life, that certain something is missing. Basic trust is the basis for most good feelings in life. It is also the basis for self-confidence and self-esteem.

It is said that one can build up the basic trust only in the earliest childhood. However, with the special properties of hypnosis it is possible to make up for missed basic trust.

What is primal trust from a hypnotic perspective?

Primal confidence is basically an inner atmosphere or mood. If the childhood atmosphere was positive, then the unconscious will retain this as the basic mood. The information about the nature of the world is transmitted to the child by the parents. This info is stored as a basic feeling in the unconscious and has the goal to prepare the child for life. Those who live in a cold world should not have too much confidence. However, if you are surrounded by loving and caring people, you can be a child at will.

Origin of the primordial trust

Toddlers do not yet have knowledge about how the world should be. However, they are still fully connected to their needs. These are quite similar for most of them. If these needs for security, nest warmth, etc. are met, then the child also experiences itself positively. It learns how good it can feel. That it gets what it needs and desires.

When the feelings are positively reciprocated, the child stays connected to the feelings. It realizes that these are desired and "good".

However, if the child's feelings, desires and needs are ignored or rejected, the child learns to lock them away or push them away. A deficiency in one or more areas occurs. The basic trust in the world is reduced. The child learns that his ego and feelings do not have a high value in the world.

Problems with lack of basic trust

If the basic trust is lacking, the basic state and feeling is not positive. This can show itself in many areas. Many things do not feel right or really good. Even professionally successful people can experience this lack by not feeling their success.

With a lack of basic confidence, you always seem to be behind. The general mood is not good and one is also rather fearful and not very robust. This fear can also express itself in anger when one has learned that sadness is weakness.

With a weak foundation, not much other trust can be built. Neither in oneself nor in others. If you have learned that you can be disappointed in the next person, you often find it difficult to build positive love relationships, for example.

Those who are not connected to their feelings, or who feel that they are less important, never really know if what they are doing is right.

There always seems to be something missing.

Rebuilding basic trust with hypnosis

The general opinion is that it is no longer possible to build the basic trust. However, those who have learned hypnosis know that it is always possible to change something. So we also say that it is never too late for a beautiful childhood.

Hypnosis gives us the opportunity to give ourselves what is still missing. This is not meant as a change of childhood memories, but as an improvement of the basic trust and the positive basic feeling.

With hypnosis we can address the innermost that has defied all odds. When we feel that something is missing, we know where it should be and how it should feel. Through this idea of purpose, it is also possible to get what has been missing from the outside from the inside.

Most of the time, we can hypnotically build the primordial trust in this way, even if childhood was not optimal.

With hypnotherapy to the basic trust

Hypnotherapy is not directly aimed at changing the memory of the past or forgetting what was, but it is mainly our goal to change what has been unconsciously learned from it. We cannot change the past, but we can change how we deal with it. We can draw different lessons and a different feeling from it.

The lack of the positive basic mood has arisen from the fact that the environment has taught us that it is not trustworthy. Whether it was caused by the parents or others: Somehow it has been taken over. This has taken place mainly because as a child you don't have the opportunity to leave your environment. So you had to adapt internally.

But if we approach it with the possibilities of the adult, a change is possible. In this way we open new ways to inner resources, which allow to tune the inner atmosphere positively.

New feelings

When we can let go of the old negative situations, it gives room for new, positive feelings. This inner mood also allows to change the view of oneself and to draw from the full.

Even if this seems unimaginable for many with a lack of basic trust: this is also connected with the realization that nothing is missing and that nothing has been broken within.

That is, as long as you have a pulse, it is possible to develop a new basic feeling.

Conclusion

Even with negative experiences as a child, it is possible to build a basic trust with hypnosis. Through the possibilities of hypnotherapy, we also have access to deeply rooted learning contents and can change them appropriately.

Learning a language through hypnosis can be a good way to release blockages and tap the potential of one's learning abilities. Especially when conventional methods have not brought much, hypnosis is a good idea.

Hypnosis improves contact with one's unconscious mind, making language learning much easier. Whether learning words or speaking fluently, the unconscious part is big in learning foreign languages.

But how does it work and is it really effective? In this article we will explore the science behind hypnosis and language learning, as well as the benefits of using hypnosis as a language learning tool.

So sit back, relax and immerse yourself in the world of speech hypnosis.

Summary

• Hypnosis can potentially improve language learning by appealing to the subconscious mind, accelerating learning, improving concentration and memory, and boosting self-confidence.
• Self-hypnosis can be done by yourself as a support for effective learning
• Hypnosis can also be used for memory recovery and improvement of pronunciation and grammar in foreign language teaching

Can you learn a language with the help of hypnosis?

If we think logically about what parts are needed to learn a language, then it stands to reason that hypnosis can help with learning. There are not many studies on this, but this one shows that hypnosis can help well, especially in memorizing words.

Of course, the hypnotic trance is a support and not a magic pill. Hypnosis supports the learning process massively, but one should not imagine it like quasi "learning language in sleep". Own work is still needed, but it can be much more efficient hypnotically.

So, with the right expectations, we can say: yes, hypnosis can help well in language learning.

Hypnosis to learn a foreign language

You will be amazed at how quickly you can absorb new vocabulary and grammar rules with the help of hypnosis. Hypnotic language learning is a powerful tool that allows you to absorb a new language on a subconscious level.

By immersing yourself in a hypnotic language environment, you can bypass the limitations of your conscious mind and use the full potential of your brain.

Through hypnosis, you can achieve fluency in a fraction of the time that traditional language learning methods would require.

This state of consciousness allows you to pick up new vocabulary and grammar rules without the detour of the conscious mind. In addition, language retention with hypnosis is far more effective than other learning methods because we focus on developing a sense of language.

How can hypnosis help you learn a language?

If you are having difficulty learning a new language and want to improve your skills, hypnosis can help you intensify your learning. By putting you in a better learning state, hypnosis allows you to absorb information more easily and naturally, almost like learning as a child.

It can also help remove blocks that may be preventing you from fully grasping the language and improve your memorization for long-term success.

Intensified learning

You can accelerate your language learning with hypnosis.

When you undergo hypnosis, your mind becomes more receptive to language learning. Hypnosis helps you achieve increased concentration, which is crucial for language immersion. You can learn a language faster and retain information more effectively when you are focused.

Hypnosis also increases retention, so you can recall information more accurately and easily. Unconscious language learning is much more intensive than conventional cramming.

Better learning state

By achieving a better state of mind, the effectiveness of language learning can be greatly improved. By using hypnosis to improve your mindset, you can experience increased motivation and a positive attitude on your language learning journey.

This can lead to a more personalized learning experience and the use of effective techniques that meet your individual needs. With a positive attitude, you can accelerate your progress and reach your language goals faster than ever before.

Through hypnosis, you can access your subconscious mind and unlock hidden potential that you may not have known about before. By eliminating negative beliefs or limiting thoughts, hypnosis can help you approach your language learning process with a fresh perspective, making the process both enjoyable and rewarding.

In addition, we can also connect the language with the respective culture. This makes sense because more connections also strengthen memory. Furthermore, we can improve pronunciation by putting ourselves in the shoes of a native speaker.

Learning like a child

Imagine effortlessly absorbing new knowledge and skills like a curious and playful child, free from self-doubt and fear of failure. With childlike immersion, you can achieve this level of natural acquisition in language learning.

Learning through play has proven to be one of the most effective ways to absorb new information, and this is true for language acquisition as well. Language acquisition theory states that the subconscious is the most powerful way to learn a new language, and that's exactly what happens when you learn like a child.

By immersing yourself in a playful and relaxed learning environment, you can bypass the critical and analytical part of your brain and absorb the language on a subconscious level.

Removing blockages

By overcoming mental barriers, you can unlock your full potential in acquiring new knowledge and skills. Overcoming fear and mental barriers is critical to mastering a new language with hypnosis. If you are afraid of making mistakes or embarrassing yourself speaking, it can hinder your progress.

However, with hypnosis you can build confidence and change your mindset towards positive reinforcement. Through hypnosis, you can remove the mental blocks that keep you from fully embracing language learning. You can access your subconscious mind to boost your confidence, eliminate negative self-talk, and develop a growth mindset.

With a positive attitude and an open mind, you can see language learning as an exciting adventure instead of an intimidating task. By releasing your mental blocks, you can unlock your full potential in mastering a new language with hypnosis.

Hypnosis to learn German

Now that you've thought about using hypnosis to learn a new language, let's take a closer look at how it can specifically benefit your German skills. Very many of my clients have a great desire to learn English.

One of the biggest benefits of hypnosis in learning German is its ability to access your subconscious mind. This can help you absorb information more easily and retain it for longer periods of time.

However, self-hypnosis can also be a good option for those who are familiar with the process. With the right tools and techniques, you can incorporate hypnosis into your language learning routine and see real-world application in your conversations and interactions.

Activating the inner German or Swiss has helped many of my clients learn the language in many easier ways, even if it's just business English.

So hypnosis for learning German is a very effective and recommendable method.

Conclusion

So are you thinking about using hypnosis to learn a new language? It's understandable to be skeptical, but the truth is that hypnosis can be a powerful tool for language acquisition.

Consider this: Learning a new language is like planting a seed. At first it is small and fragile and requires careful attention and nurturing to grow. Hypnosis can be the sunlight and water that helps the seedling thrive.

It can help you overcome anxiety and self-doubt, improve your concentration and memory, and even increase your motivation to keep learning.

In fact, studies have shown that hypnosis can be an effective method for language learning. According to a study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, students who received hypnosis training in addition to traditional language instruction showed significant improvements in vocabulary acquisition and retention compared to those who received only traditional instruction.

Of course, hypnosis is not a magic solution. It still requires effort and dedication on your part to truly master a new language. But if you're having trouble making progress or feel stuck in your language learning process, hypnosis could be just the boost you need.

Fear of driving can get in the way quite a bit. The freedom that a car gives you can be very clouded by your fear of driving. Sometimes you even lose it altogether, namely when you have to stop driving because of the fear. Often those affected are ashamed or afraid of being ridiculed. For example, according to the motto "What the 16-year-old American can do, I should have been able to do for a long time.

But driving anxiety can affect anyone, even those who were previously the most casual drivers. Also, driving anxiety is not an indication of mental weakness, on the contrary, as I will show later. Unfortunately, even driving schools use the official expression "scaredy-cat", which does not help self-confidence either. Despite this, or because of this, hypnosis is very often successful.

If you are interested in how hypnotherapy can help with your anxiety, then you should read on.

I can say in advance: Hypnosis is a very good way to treat driving anxiety.

What is driving anxiety?

Fear of driving is a specific fear, but it can have many manifestations. The so-called amaxophobia ranges from a queasy feeling to total panic when you are behind the wheel yourself. Somewhat less frequently, the fear applies to the car in general, i.e. even if one is a passenger.

In addition, the fear of driving can also only manifest itself in certain situations, such as for city dwellers from Zurich only on the highway or, conversely, only in places with many pedestrians. Construction sites, highway entrances, tailgaters or observers can also be triggers for the fear.

Fear of driving can also be related to other fears, such as claustrophobia or fear of tunnels. Especially in Switzerland, there is also fear of driving in combination with fear of heights, for example on narrow mountain roads.

All in all, driving anxiety is a very multifaceted fear in which many things can come together. That is why it makes sense to include all aspects involved in the treatment.

The emergence of driving anxiety from a hypnotic point of view

There are many theories and experiences about how driving anxiety arises. Sometimes it can be due to a bad experience, sometimes you do not know why it arose.

What is clear from the hypnotic point of view is that for some reason the unconscious has declared this situation to be a danger.

The most different expressions probably conclude from the fact that man has not been driving a car for a long time. That a bear is dangerous when we meet it in the forest and therefore we should rather be afraid is crystal clear for our inner being. How we should handle an iron carriage weighing tons, which we can accelerate to 200 km/h and we steer with arm and foot movements, there is no unconscious patent remedy for that. So this fear can take so many forms.

Certain character traits can naturally favor the development.

In my experience, many people with driving anxiety have a good imagination. Even if they sometimes don't consciously realize it. Because to be able to imagine what could happen, you need a good imagination.

Also, people with driving anxiety often have a tendency to control things. As I said at the beginning, people with driving anxiety often have a strong head. However, this can lead to anxiety in an instinct-driven activity like driving.

It can become even worse if one wants to control the processes of the conscious mind with the conscious mind and then becomes completely blocked. For example, if one feels the glances of other road users, so to speak, then this can quickly trigger sweaty hands or the like.

The unconscious then wants to protect from the danger from now on. Whether this is the danger of a misfortune or of being overwhelmed or of being stared at does not play such a big role.

As with other dangers, the unconscious does this with feelings. It can be anything from great respect to panic fear. And the more often this is repeated, the worse the fear can become.

The panic attacks while driving don't feel like that, but paradoxically they are actually an attempt of the unconscious to protect against danger. So if we want to get rid of the fear of driving, we have to create a feeling of safety in the unconscious again. Hypnosis is very suitable for this purpose.

Hypnosis for fear of driving

Whatever has triggered the danger recognition in the car, with hypnosis we can overwrite it again. Depending on the composition and manifestation of the driving fear, the treatment is composed by the hypnotherapist. The individual aspects of driving anxiety should be taken into account. Someone who has heart palpitations before construction sites should be treated differently in certain areas than someone who has panic attacks on the highway.

At the same time, there are also certain aspects that are similar in many sufferers of driving anxiety.

Positive images with hypnosis

Fears can arise not only from what has happened, but also from what might happen. Many people with driving anxiety often have internal images or imaginings of possible accidents or mishaps. This often switches the unconscious mind into danger recognition mode before anything has even happened.

When this is the case we use hypnosis to make the inner images positive, to use one's imagination for something positive.

Giving yourself time behind the wheel

Time is relative. We have known that for a long time. However, when you sit in the car and let yourself get stressed, everything seems much faster, which can lead to even more stress and blockages. That is why we often change the sense of time in hypnotherapy. So that you feel you have all the time in the world to do the right thing behind the wheel.

Develop a thick skin when driving

In order to stay cool in all situations on the road, we sometimes need a thick skin. To let this grow is possible with hypnotherapy against fear while driving. So that we can maintain our own pace even in the most honking tailgater.

Trust the unconscious

Especially if you are afraid of accidents or distrust your own driving ability, there is often a certain insecurity towards your own unconscious parts at play. It is clear that many aspects of driving are based on a certain inner autopilot. This also does many things unconsciously.

Building trust in our own autopilot can be very helpful. Hypnosis allows us to make contact and negotiate who is in the driver's seat.

If you trust the unconscious habits and processes, the negative feelings while driving usually disappear as if by themselves.

Mental confrontation training

In orthodox driving anxiety management, confrontation training is often recommended. This means that one should confront the situation that triggers the fear. The problem with this is that many people are so blocked by their fears that it is not even possible to overcome the fear in a safe setting.

Here, too, hypnosis provides a remedy. Because with hypnosis we can create inner images that are very realistic for the unconscious. Thus, sitting in the hypnosis chair, we can confront ourselves with all that scares us.

Conclusion Get rid of driving anxiety with hypnosis

For those who have already tried many other things, or who want to tackle the problem directly at the root, hypnotherapy is highly recommended. With the unique possibilities of hypnosis it is possible to drive again without fear. When the unconscious is on board you can sit behind the wheel again in peace.

Hypnosis helps get over a broken heart when you are heartbroken.

It is well known how difficult it can be to deal with heartbreak. The pain and sadness that comes with a breakup, toxic relationship, or unrequited love can be very stressful and difficult to deal with on your own. If you are currently in this difficult situation, hypnosis can be a professional help for heartbreak to help you overcome your heartache and heal your broken heart.

Can hypnosis help with heartbreak?

No matter in which phase: whether the first shock is over, you are still in the middle of it or if the heartbreak has been going on for a very long time: if you want to overcome your heartbreak, hypnosis is a good choice.

We can use the power of hypnosis to ease breakup pain, to fade the ex or exes, to deal with the end of a relationship, and to put a broken heart back together. What is not often possible is the direct forgetting or hypnotic removal of the unhappy love, it is mostly a kind of "overwriting" in the brain, replacing the painful with something more positive.

Hypnosis works in the realm of the unconscious, that is, in the realm of feelings. Where rational thinking has no influence, we can make progress with hypnosis.

Physical discomfort due to lovesickness

In hypnosis we know that body and mind are connected. Therefore, we know that unrequited love or a breakup has not only psychological consequences such as listlessness or depression.

The best known is that heartbreak hits the stomach. Loss of appetite, weight loss and even diarrhea can be a consequence. Physical pain such as the well-known "heartache" or brook pain can also occur.

In the first time this can be part of it, but if it does not go away for a longer time, you should get professional help. Hypnotherapy is recommended for this. It is not always possible to fully let go with hypnosis love, but it can help to deal with it better.

Heal broken heart with hypnosis

A broken heart, at the end of a relationship or otherwise, can have a great impact on one's life.

The feeling that something is missing is often very pronounced in heartbreak. This means that one of the main goals of hypnotherapy for heartbreak is to strengthen the feeling of totality.

"What has come from the outside can also come from the inside" is one of our mottos.

Thus, perhaps in the depths of heartbreak, one may feel that one can no longer exist without the loved one, or that at least something will always be missing.

However, if we use hypnosis to reassemble the broken heart into a whole, you will realize that everything is actually there. Therapy against heartbreak includes first of all the area of self-care.

That is, we also aim to make you feel with yourself as you did before with the other person. Self-respect and the resulting self-love are important for letting go.

No matter how bad the breakup or even the pain of separation is, there is always a healing possible and also an outlook to a positive future.

Overcoming heartbreak is often divided into different phases. In all phases of heartbreak hypnotherapy can help to make optimal progress.

The first shock

The first shock of a broken heart makes everything else fade away in the first moment. The shock of heartbreak makes it difficult to move on at the first moment.

In the first moment it can be that a kind of shock state arises with which the self-confidence dwindles. Furthermore, this phase is often characterized by longing, anger and loneliness. Or a kind of numbness develops, which is almost worse.

Most people withdraw more and more when heartbroken.

With clients of mine who have been in this state, it is sometimes important to find access to the feelings again, even if they may hurt at first. Because only when we are really in the feelings, we can change something about them.

The full sensing of the feelings is very important for processing and letting go. The hypnotic trance can help to make this connection but also to keep it positive. It is also important to rebuild self-confidence to be able to take further steps. In many cases, it is beneficial to develop the same love and care that was previously given to someone else, now for yourself too? This also helps to remain steadfast and to really draw a line and to stand up for one's own well-being.

They say "every goodbye hurts". That's why it's important to stick with it even if it hurts at first.

In order to create a full separation and not drag anything along, I usually set a time frame of grieving with my clients. It is really allowed to be a crying misery and to feel through everything enough.

Thus, nothing is suppressed, as well as the heartbreak is not unnecessarily protracted.

New naturalness

Even though we work a lot with feelings in hypnosis, in the next phase it is also important to include the rational.

When we miss someone, we tend to idealize them and block out the negative, focusing only on the love that has passed. The more you focus on the feeling, the more heartbreak hurts.

If we create an optimal balance between heart and head with hypnosis, then it is possible to see the whole thing from a different perspective. We change the focus and the inner orientation, so to speak.

The longing for the ex-partner can often be a longing for the idea of a partner and not the longing for the person himself. This has often triggered the heartbreak in the first place. Instead of mourning the ideal image, a rational view should be important.

So it is also possible to fade him or her out and not be reminded of everything anymore.

Anger, loneliness and heartbreak are important feelings to feel, but they are not the best guides for the future. That is why in hypnotherapy for heartbreak, it is also important to develop a new understanding of oneself. When one understands oneself, then we can also create a self that can do without the ex or exes.

New plans

Most of the future plans that have been made usually include the ex-partner. All these ideas are often additionally painful. When thinking about the future, feelings are often triggered by the fantasy of what could have been.

An important step in hypnotherapy is creating a new future without the other person. In this process, thoughts about the future and heartbreak should be separated.

To achieve what we want, we usually need to know what it looks like.

The positive image of the future then helps, so to speak, as a compass to find out of the temporary love low and to overcome the heartbreak.

Conclusion hypnosis for lovesickness

Hypnosis can be of great help in overcoming heartbreak. With the methods of hypnotherapy, the pain in the heart can be relieved at any stage. If you want to put your heart back together again, hypnosis can help you.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Who is this "self" and why should I be aware of it?

Those who are not self-confident often lose out. If you want to be more self-confident, hypnosis can help.

Do you find yourself too reserved? Would you like to stand up for yourself more? Are you unsure in social situations? Would you like to be more daring?

With hypnosis, you can build the healthy self-confidence that will help you in all areas of life.

Whether at work or at home, self-confidence helps us to navigate our social lives and achieve our goals. With hypnosis, we can let go of the old and build your new self-confidence.

What is possible with self-confidence?

• Standing up for yourself
• Coming out of your shell
• Staying calm
• Facing problems
• Saying no
• Being patient
• Standing confidently in front of others

Self-confidence.

When they read this word, most people have an image in mind. We notice when someone is self-confident. We see it, we hear it and we usually feel it too. You radiate self-confidence. There isn't really a clear checklist that we can follow, but we can feel the difference. But we can feel the difference. A lot happens unconsciously and automatically when we are self-confident. This is precisely why hypnosis can be so successful in treating a lack of self-confidence.

What is self-confidence?

Very often self-esteem, self-confidence and self-assurance are used interchangeably. However, I think they describe different steps in one's own development. Hypnosis is a great help in each of these steps.

Self-awareness

Someone who is self-aware is exactly that: self-aware. The more self-awareness you develop, the more self-aware you are. But what is the self that I can become aware of? You could also say: the more we become conscious of the unconscious mind the more we become aware of ourselves. And thus become self-aware.

This means that in order to become more self-aware through hypnosis, we have to become more aware of ourselves. If we are more on the same wavelength as the unconscious, then we automatically build up self-confidence. It is a first step that already brings a lot.

When we know what we can do and what we are not so good at, we have a plan of our own abilities. With this plan, we can then navigate the world better. We no longer have to hide, even if we are sometimes overwhelmed. Because we know what we have and what we can do.

Self-trust

When we interact with the world, we accumulate experiences. The more experiences we have, the more solidified our view of ourselves becomes. When our awareness of ourselves is confirmed, we can begin to trust it. We can build self-confidence.

Of course, there can always be moments that are new. However, with sufficiently strengthened self-confidence, we can assume that we can also deal with the unplanned. We can build up our self-confidence with hypnosis by strengthening our inner image of ourselves. If something doesn't work out as we expected, we can remain more relaxed.

Self-confidence

If our confidence in our self-worth is rewarded often enough, it can become stronger. We gain self-confidence. If we are completely convinced of this, then we have the security that even negative experiences cannot overturn. We feel able to cope with situations, have a good feeling about them and are resistant to self-doubt.

If we are fully convinced of our abilities and do not adjust our self-image, we can stand still. It often happens that we lose our self-confidence and cling to our image. This then no longer corresponds to the facts and appears to be a form of infallibility. Too much self-confidence can also cause problems in social settings. It can then quickly turn into know-it-all behaviour and be seen as conceited, which is why it is important that we use hypnosis to build up more self-confidence on the inside and not just pretend on the outside.

All in all, we go through these steps in many skills and aspects of our lives. It can also be that we are confident in certain areas but not in others. However, if we build up enough self-confidence with hypnosis, we can always deal with it.

Hypnosis allows us to see ourselves as we are, free from self-criticism and negative self-perceptions.

The opposite of self-confident: conceited

As a hypnotist, I am of course a fan of imagination, but it is also rather irritating when it comes to personality. It is the same when someone simulates self-confidence. Imaginary comes from imagining something. If you act as if you are self-confident, this appears to others as conceited. This is often met with rejection.

Many people who want to boost their self-confidence fall into the "conceited trap". "Pretending" doesn't work when it comes to self-confidence. Because you should be aware of yourself.

Self-confidence with hypnosis: the benefits

It is easy to see the advantages that a high level of self-confidence brings us. These are clear to see and are actually universally desirable. With self-confident people, many things look very simple. With enough self-confidence, we can also remain calm in conflicts and confrontations. We also remain spontaneous and relaxed in new situations. When we meet new people, we can make friends more quickly as a self-confident person. We can also no longer be overlooked at work. We can give presentations and stay cool. A confident appearance is also seen as competent and attractive. This also gives us better opportunities in relationships and love.

Becoming self-confident also has its difficulties

With so many advantages of self-confidence, it's easy to overlook the disadvantages. I don't just want to gloss over everything. Because to become more self-confident with hypnosis, we also have to say goodbye to things. Such profound changes in self-image can cause many feelings. Fear often arises when we step out of line, and in order to become aware of something, we have to take a close look. Even and especially where we are least comfortable.

Then we no longer have anyone else to blame. There are then no more excuses, the responsibility for our lives lies with us. Those who are self-confident can no longer put anything off. There is also no more room for self-pity. Instead, being honest with yourself brings great relief and a boost of energy. If we use hypnosis to strengthen our self-confidence and radiate self-assurance, we can defy all headwinds.

Radiate self-confidence

It's not just the way we deal with ourselves that changes when we become more self-confident. Those who have no opinion and only live for others will not be rejected. This is not popularity, but it is not unpopularity either. When we start to stand up for ourselves and assert ourselves, the superficiality with other people disappears. This can and will lead to rejection from certain people. So in order to properly train our self-confidence, we also have to accept not being liked. Those who say what they think cannot have an excessive need for harmony. When we are self-confident, we can often no longer avoid conflict. It is difficult to duck with a straight, self-confident back.

Of course, none of this comes out of the blue. As the effects of hypnosis build up our self-confidence, both the advantages and disadvantages become noticeable. It will also create an inner robustness and resilience that will allow us to deal with everything better. Are we increasing self-confidence with hypnosis or are we removing all the blocks that have stood in the way of self-confidence? A bit of both.

Self-confidence and self-awareness are built up bit by bit and not all at once.

Strengthen self-confidence

Most of my clients have more self-confidence after hypnotherapy. This happens all by itself when we have a little more connection to our inner self. When we remove inner blockages and listen to our unconscious, we automatically come into harmony with ourselves. This balance is also important for a self-confident demeanour. When we are no longer afraid of the consequences, we can also let go of our inhibitions

.

Conclusion

With hypnosis you can build up your self-confidence and be true to yourself. With a hypnotically strengthened self-esteem, it is easy to radiate self-confidence and appear self-assured. Whether in social situations, presentations or in love.

Nowadays, burnout has been called a widespread disease. So many have already achieved good results with hypnosis therapy for burnout.

For anyone who is no longer resilient after a burnout, or would like to prevent a threatening burnout, hypnosis is warmly recommended.

Burnout is not known to be a clearly defined disease, but there are certain patterns.

These are usually unconscious in nature and often very much linked to one's own identity. The observations of orthodox psychology and the hypnotic view overlap in this respect.

Therefore, in the burnout treatment with hypnosis, we move away from pure thinking, from pure must and should, and go one level deeper. The treatment of burnout with hypnosis therapy facilitates the way back into a balanced life.

Causes of burnout

There are many factors that can promote burnout. Most of the time it is work, but it can also lead the family or certain stressful relationships to the point where the burnout stops.

Most people with burnout have something essential in common: they do not listen to themselves (well enough).

Of course, the word "burnout" in the sense of "burn out" is a good term. Especially for business people it sounds better than "exhaustion depression".

This burnout comes from going over your limit for a long time. This is only possible if you ignore all warnings.

So if you do not listen to yourself, who do you listen to?

Now, if you do not define yourself from the inside, you are defined from the outside. Those who ignore themselves rarely do so for themselves. Those who ignore themselves over a longer period of time in such a way that the body can only pull the emergency brake, have obviously put much more externally than their own needs.

Even those who have driven themselves into collapse in order to be "better than the others" or "perfect" let the inside be influenced by the outside.

Anyone who adapts to external demands without control and thus pursues unsatisfactory goals or makes seemingly unattainable demands on himself has the long and repetitive stress that is often the cause of burnout.

If you now think as a reader: "That's not true, I caused my exhaustion myself" then you do again what led you here: You won't leave yourself alone.

How to define your own identity, whether from the outside or the inside, is something you are often taught in childhood. Sometimes not even explicitly, but by looking. Children usually take over the atmosphere of their parents and when they have adopted the figurative sense of "only those who perform are worth something" or "you are what others think of you" or "only perfect is good enough", then the foundation for burnout is laid. (By the way, these were all attitudes of real clients from my practice).

In general, this puts the value of the exterior over the self value.

Then all you need to do is obey these rules and of course a lot of hard work to collapse at some point.

Physical and psychological effects

If one's own inner attitude of "one should" or "one should" goes beyond one's own energy limits, then it is all the more understandable that the unconscious is stepping more and more firmly on the brakes. The mental and physical exhaustion can become greater and greater.

Headaches, fatigue or even physical pain or intestinal problems can be the prompt to stop.

Also psychologically there are mostly stop signals. On the one hand, these can be dejection, depression and lack of drive. On the one hand, there is also irritability and cynicism. A wounded tiger fights the hardest as is known.

If one's own wishes or values are ignored, a feeling of worthlessness and inner emptiness is not surprising.

The sense for oneself is more and more suppressed to be efficient. Because of this the whole senselessness and humorlessness is a logical consequence.

These symptoms can be stress-inducing and stress-inducing at the same time. Because this one-sided way of life often produces even more problems.

Treatment of burnout with hypnosis therapy

Many people who are "suffering from burnout" feel helpless at first. Some also see themselves as victims of their circumstances. This is true in a certain way, but the goal is to have an influence.

You don't necessarily have to look for a new job for positive changes. Often it is enough if you don't put up with everything anymore.

This is easier said than done for the conscious mind. But if we have hypnosis on our side, we can directly address the unconscious. The goal is that what has come from the outside in the past will come from the inside afterwards. Every human being can develop a sense for himself in all areas and whoever wants to heal his burnout must first heal his soul.

Living instead of functioning

Neither one's identity nor fulfillment should come from "functioning" or from work. The healing time of burnout also depends on how quickly one finds one's way to this healthy inner being and how quickly one abandons old demands on oneself.

Only when you fully stand by yourself can you really get away from burnout and avoid relapses.

In hypnotherapy we also develop the inner strength and determination to draw boundaries and say "no" when it becomes too much.

A careful use of one's own energy also needs the inner permission to put one's own needs above others. That is why we work towards this goal.

Inner Balance

Many people mistakenly believe that balance comes from "a bit of one and a bit of the other". However, this is not the case.

We do not want to "sleep a bit and be a bit awake". A life in balance comes from being fully awake and fully asleep.

This inner balance makes it possible to become fully efficient again even in certain phases, as long as it is balanced with full, shameless recovery.

I write "shamelessly" because many burnout sufferers tell of a bad conscience when they are not "doing". Such nonsense is also rigorously hypnotized away and replaced by a healthy self-respect.

Conclusion Hypnosis for Burnout

The treatment of burnout requires a certain inner attitude change. These attitudes are usually deeply rooted in one's own identity. In order to start defining oneself from the inside instead of the outside, one needs access to unconscious processes. These can be influenced by hypnosis.

For this reason hypnosis therapy is a very good therapy method to treat burnout.

Hypnosis helps against nail biting because the background of nail biting can be directly addressed by means of hypnosis therapy. The triggers of nail biting are also treated.

Whether it is a compulsion to bite one's nails or a habit of doing so, the cause is usually in the unconscious. With hypnosis therapy these are not only dissolved but also replaced by more positive behavioral patterns. We do this to prevent relapses as far as possible.

Hypnosis therapy against nail biting has a very high success rate because changing unconscious processes is one of the best uses of hypnosis.

Causes of nail biting

Nail biting, with the technical term onychophagy, is almost always caused by psychological factors. For most of those affected, the biting of the fingernails begins as a substitute for something else.

This means it is very often a valve for accumulated internal pressure. This inner restlessness can be caused by many different feelings. Not only nervousness or stress can trigger nail biting, but also boredom. Even the classic image of biting nails out of fear is sometimes true.

Thus, the biting of fingernails can often be traced back to feelings, which in one way or another are diverted into nail biting.

One specific case concerns counterfeiting. This is often the case with clients who as children have started to copy someone who bites nails. Often children copy the stress reduction methods used by their role models.

In principle, as with many substitute satisfactions, an addiction can develop in which the person concerned feels that he or she must chew. This is often considered negative. The resulting stress can in turn lead to more chewing.

Who does nail-biting concern?

In many cases, nail busters have a certain amount of inner restlessness or nervousness. So it is not surprising that people with ADHD often bite their nails as well. People who otherwise have a lot of excess energy also tend to bite their nails, especially in moments when there is nothing to do. Then it shows up as a kind of nervous tick.

In my experience with nail biting, clients are also often present who tend to avoid confrontation and do not claw out as often as the unconscious would like. The unconscious then sometimes symbolically makes them bite their fingernails.

If there is a great inner desire for harmony, nail-biting can occur more often when a conflict is foreseeable. Mostly, however, it is a certain inner basic nervousness that favours biting.

Most of those affected are women, but there are also more and more men visiting me to treat their nail chewing.

Children

As mentioned above, children can also start to bite their fingernails. This can occur if the child has copied it from parents or siblings, for example.

Or it was discovered by the child itself. This often has to do with the fact that this accumulated energy has no release valve. Even if it often disappears on its own, it is sometimes necessary to intervene. This is especially the case when children massively damage their nails and nail beds.

Severity of fingernail biting

Chewing of fingernails can be pronounced to varying degrees. From light biting of the nails to severe self-injury, many things are possible. Also the combination of nail biting and gnawing off cuticles occurs.

When the habit becomes a sort of addiction, injuries such as a bloody bed of nails or even deformed fingernails can occur. The harder it is to bite the nails, the more difficult it is to treat.

In severe cases, it is usually complex problems that need to be solved.

Superficial aids against fingernail biting

If you have failed to stop biting your nails with yourself, then the question arises: "What can you do against nail biting? There are many products that can help you get rid of this annoying habit.

Many of my clients tried it with gel nails first. Most of the time, however, they simply offer more "surface to attack" and are chewed through again within a short time. Gel nails may help to protect your own fingernails a little, but they are not suitable for chewing nails. Because all external aids have something in common: they only treat the symptoms, not the trigger.

We can have the most success in treating nail biting if we treat the causes behind the impulses.

That is why psychology and above all hypnosis helps best.

Hypnosis solutions against nail biting

Getting rid of nail biting with hypnosis therapy

The causes of nail biting are found in the subconscious. If we want to treat nail biting effectively, we need to change these basic behaviors and how we deal with feelings of stress or boredom.

That is why hypnosis is also so well suited to wean you off nail biting. Because with hypnosis we can communicate with the unconscious in a way that is otherwise hardly possible.

Relaxation with hypnosis

The first step in the treatment with hypnosis is to create a pleasant form of relaxation. The hypnotic trance in itself is very relaxing and with the right suggestions a relaxing atmosphere can be created.

In the state of hypnosis it is possible to analyze stressful moments without immediately becoming tense again.

If there is a nervous mood, it will be reduced step by step and replaced by a state of relaxation. This state can also be anchored in the unconscious, e.g. to be used again in future self-hypnoses.

Breaking the habit

The next step is to break the habit.

This means that we offer the subconscious alternatives to biting our fingernails. By breaking the habit we can guide the unconscious processes in a different, better direction.

In this way, we reduce the moments in which the fingernails are chewed out of habit. By this I mean those moments in which chewing is not a forced hand and one does not "have to" chew. This is where we can achieve the fastest results.

Sometimes the subconscious needs several alternative behaviors. But it is also important for the conscious mind to realize that there is also another possibility.

If the nail biting occurs mainly in certain situations, I go through these situations in the trance suggesting new ways of dealing with them. These kinds of posthypnotic suggestions are then activated in the respective moments.

With these measures the habit can be completely removed and replaced with something more useful.

If nail biting is perceived as an addiction, the treatment is similar to how we treat addictions.

Stop nail-biting

If nail biting has become really bad or it has become a real kind of an addiction, then there is usually something more serious involved. In such situations I focus on the person sitting in front of me and not just on the fingernails.

Many clients have given me feedback that this was significant for their change. Especially if there is something bigger behind it, it is important to discuss all possible causes.

My goal is to pick up all my clients where they come from, so that I can really lead them on the path to success.

Impulskontrolle

The stronger the self is, the better the impulse control works. In most cases, stressful or tense situations cannot be avoided completely in life. Therefore it is important that we can control the impulse that leads the fingernails into the mouth early enough.

Especially in the initial phase, when we have just stopped biting our nails, this can be of great importance.

Prevention of relapses

In the last step the relapse prophylaxis is in the main concern

When the unconscious no longer automatically or addictionally resorts to biting fingernails, it is important to consolidate this change. It is often important to strengthen the self and reduce a possible nervous mood.

As mentioned above, hypnosis calls this "post-hypnotic suggestion" and is often used in the "if, then..." format. Thus the unconscious has a guideline in the future how to stay away from nail-biting.

Conclusion to stop nail biting with hypnosis therapy

Hypnosis therapy is one of the most effective methods to stop nail biting. By working with the unconscious, the danger of relapse is also massively reduced. Other aspects, such as stress resistance, can also be positively influenced. Nail biting can be stopped well and safely.

Questions

How many sessions do I need to get away from nail-biting with hypnosis?

How quickly the full change takes place varies from person to person. A first improvement is often noticed after the first session. Most of my clients need between 1-3 sessions to stop biting their nails.

What are the costs for hypnosis against nail biting?

The hypnosis therapy against nail biting costs 150 Fr. per hour. Experience shows that most clients need between two and five sessions to stop biting their nails. The number of sessions depends on many factors, such as the strength of nail biting

Hypnosis can be a good way to achieve more relaxation. With hypnosis for more calmness, relaxation and inner peace can be achieved. The hypnosis trance in itself is very calming and with the methods of hypnotherapy we can learn to be less disturbed by the environment.

Why is it difficult to stay calm and relaxed?

Stressed, irritated, annoyed, angry, fearful, panicky, all of this could be seen as the opposite of calmness. Of course fear and stress do not necessarily have the same triggers, but all these inner states usually have two similar causes.

Internal causes

If you don't have inner peace, it's difficult to be calmness. People with chaos inside can be agitated even in the most relaxed places.

I hear again and again from clients that they could not quite "calm down" even during holidays and in quiet surroundings.

Often in such situations there is an inner dialogue that comments and almost always evaluates everything, and that is negative.

This inner voice often stirs up so much that no serenity can develop.

These tendencies often arise when one has a strong desire for control. This can also include perfectionism when almost everything is not good enough. When this is gnawing at you, it becomes difficult with the relaxed inner mood.

Outside influences

Another cause of inner turmoil can be external influences.

If you cannot separate yourself well enough to keep what is outside out, this can have a negative effect on your inner mood. The unconscious fully accepts the environment, so to speak. The inner atmosphere is therefore fully accepted and kept even if the outside changes.

Noise, conflicts, difficult people and many other things that can come at us from outside can prevent calmness.

So if we want to get more calmness with hypnosis it makes sense to deal with these two aspects.

How does hypnosis help with calming down?

Now that we know the causes we can also talk about how hypnosis can help to be more relaxed in such cases.

Because with hypnosis we can lead into a trance and give suggestions to the unconscious. These suggestions can cause fundamental changes. This also in areas where the conscious mind has no access.

If you just consciously tell yourself to calm down, it usually does not help. Because the feelings are controlled by the unconscious.

Calm state

Often hypnosis is the direct path to inner relaxation. This can be the first step to inner peace. You can also learn what it takes to calm yourself down. Findings that you can later use for example for self-hypnosis.

But it is also important to take this inner relaxation out of the hypnotic trance into everyday life.

Grow a thick skin

Someone who doesn't let anything upset him or her, we call someone with a thick skin.

Even if the environment is hectic or unpleasant, someone with a thick skin can still stay calm.

So we let the skin grow thick in the figurative sense. In hypnosis we have different methods for this. Thereby the unconscious learns how to keep the outside out.

You also learn calmness when you can determine yourself what touches and what bounces. I consciously say "learn" because when we can close it is a question of balance where we do it and where we don't. In other words, we learn to differentiate between what we let in and what we don't.

More stress resistant

The unconscious is actually very good at filtering negative environmental influences. Sometimes, however, it is blocked by beliefs or "you should rules". If you have learned, for example, that you should always be nice to everybody, it becomes difficult to defend yourself against difficult people and to keep them out.

If, on the other hand, we use hypnosis to allow the unconscious to do it in it's nature intended way, environmental influences are no longer a problem. So by letting go we gain influence and we can use hypnosis to become more resistant to stress.

Whoever has a thick skin can also remain in inner peace and calmness in conflicts or beside someone using a jackhammer.

Resolution of inner conflicts with hypnosis therapy

However, if the noise comes from inside, hypnosis therapy is also needed. Because if we are not a team with our unconscious, this can lead to permanent inner conflicts. This for example known as the conflict between heart and head.

If we resolve these inner conflicts, the inner restlessness can be dissolved. If the conscious and unconscious parts have the same views, the inner dialogue can also be silenced. With the right hypnotic treatment, this feeling of being at peace within can be developed.

This state is often called "being in harmony with yourself". When we stop spending energy on pushing certain things away, we are more able to use our energy where it is important. With the inner balance comes the focus, which allows us to fully stand up for ourselves. And this with full inner peace.

Since the unconscious is fast and creative, the ability to improvise improves with the whole. So it is also no longer necessary to control everything. Because if you are good at improvising, you can cope with almost all circumstances and we can accept things as they are. And if something doesn't fit at all, it is made to fit.

Calmness through hypnosis

As already mentioned, calmness is also a matter of practice. Once we have resolved the basics of tension, it sometimes takes time to remain calm in all situations.

In my experience as a hypnotherapist, the changes come in waves, sometimes accompanied by doubts about "am I allowed to be this way?". However, once the unconscious is on the path of change, it can and should hardly be stopped.

The calming effect is also often seen in various areas of life. I have often been told of experiences where something was no longer taken too seriously and then suddenly change was possible.

One can be curious.

Conclusion Hypnosis for being more relaxed

Hypnosis is absolutely the right way to more calmness. There where meditation and mindfulness etc. are difficult for beginners, hypnosis gives the possibility to be led into a relaxed trance where it usually just works.

Also the inner positive changes can be stimulated with hypnosis so that calmness can occur throughout life.

Come by and find your inner peace.

Eating disorders from the perspective of hypnosis

For a long time, food was one of the most important components of human life. In the past, a large part of the day had to be spent on the procurement of food. For this reason it is not surprising that food is also related to identity.

There is even the saying "You are what you eat". Maybe that's why eating disorders are often hard to get rid of. In any case, in the hypnotic view of eating disorders, identity and self-esteem play an important role. If the associated feelings are negative, they are often balanced by the unconscious with food.

The inappropriate eating behavior is thus often the attempt of the unconscious to create balance in emotional one-sidedness. Especially clients who are convinced that their food consumption has only something to do with e.g. stimulus of sweets are often surprised how deep it can go.

This means that various negative feelings can be directed towards food or control over food. Not infrequently, these also originate in a negative self-image or body image.

Only in the rarest of cases does this concern the food itself. That is why hypnosis therapy is used more deeply for eating disorders.

Finding the right limits

One's own identity is not only felt internally, but is also carried to the outside world.

This means that appropriate boundaries must also be drawn for the definition of one's own identity.

If your own limits are drawn too tight or too loose, this can lead to problems. Because if you control yourself too tightly or too little, this can often have an influence on your eating behaviour.

With bulimia or binge eating, for example, in certain cases it is the case that those affected control themselves firmly until the unconscious takes over completely and simply stuffs in the food.

In many cases, this is due to the fact that one has to take oneself back and should not draw boundaries for "the others". With anorexia, in many cases the food is also used to gain control. So, so to speak, too narrow limits are drawn when the influence is missing elsewhere.

If you draw the line too narrow, it can also lead to the feeling that you are missing something. This lack or inner "hole" is then often filled with food. This may be useful in the first moment, but if this becomes the only way of dealing with oneself, it can develop into an eating disorder.

This self-control can, of course, also be an attempt to control how others react to you. Often the "I don't want to get fat" is actually the desire not to be rejected. This aspect of eating disorders also often has to do with one's own limits. Being able to stop doing things that are not good for you is an important skill. Thus, certain treatments of an eating addiction also have a similarity to treatment of addiction with hypnosis.

Hypnosis therapy against eating disorders

As different as eating disorders can be, the causes often lie in the unconscious. This means that the conscious mind has little influence on these issues. This also means that the pure understanding of the problem often does not help much.

That is why hypnotherapy focuses on changes at the level of the unconscious. On this level of feelings the first step is often to develop a positive, strengthened feeling for oneself. The methods of hypnosis can address these unconscious parts, which ultimately regulate the eating behaviour.

In order to draw a line under self-damaging behaviour, you should also know what you need. In this way, the energy that is used to control yourself can be used to achieve something positive.

Positive body awareness

A positive, supportive basic feeling can ensure that what was previously supplied from the outside, now comes from the inside. Experiencing oneself as complete and complete can help to develop a healthy body feeling.

This often makes room for mental self-healing. The negative thoughts about oneself can thus be discarded many times.

The contact with the unconscious is also helpful to be connected with your feelings. Learning to accept these helps to avoid having to shove them down with food. They fill up, so to speak, the emptiness that was previously filled with food.

Types of eating disorders that hypnosis can help with

In principle, hypnotherapy can be a very good help for eating disorders in order to make decisive changes on a subconscious level. Where other treatment methods may not have achieved the desired results, it is often still possible to initiate changes with hypnotherapy.

Anorexia Nervosa

Hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. The unconscious mind is invited to transform the distorted body image and negative thought patterns associated with extreme thinness into a healthy form.

Therapists can work with sufferers to cultivate a healthier self-perception and thus promote a more balanced diet. It also aims to promote self-care and a realistic view of body image.

Binge Eating:

In the context of binge eating, hypnotherapy can help to address the underlying emotional triggers and habitual patterns that lead to compulsive overeating. Through hypnotic suggestion, hypnosis aims to break the cycle of compulsive eating and develop healthier coping mechanisms for stress and emotions. By encouraging a mindful and present approach to eating, hypnotherapy can help to reduce the frequency and intensity of binge eating.

Selective eating disorder (ARFID):

For individuals struggling with selective eating disorder (ARFID), hypnotherapy can help reframe aversions and fears associated with certain foods. By exploring the unconscious origins of these aversions, therapists can guide sufferers towards a more open attitude towards trying new foods.

Positive suggestions and images can help to alleviate the discomfort associated with certain textures or smells, allowing a gradual expansion of the individual's food repertoire.

Compulsive Overeating

Hypnotherapy can be a supportive tool in the treatment of binge eating or compulsive overeating. By exploring the emotional roots of eating behavior, therapists can help sufferers gain a deeper understanding of their relationship with food. Hypnosis can lead to healthier thought patterns, promote mindful eating behaviors and help sufferers develop strategies to manage cravings and make more conscious food choices, contributing to more balanced and sustainable eating behaviors.

Bulimia nervosa

Hypnotherapy can be a valuable part of the comprehensive treatment of bulimia nervosa. By exploring the subconscious mind, hypnosis helps sufferers overcome the complicated emotional challenges associated with binge and purge. It focuses on developing healthier coping mechanisms, reducing the frequency of binge eating and promoting a positive relationship with food and body image.

Conclusion

Due to the effect in the unconscious, hypnosis can achieve great success in eating disorders. Even with those people who have already tried many other things. A healthy approach to food often reflects a healthy approach to oneself. That is why hypnosis therapy can bring food into a sensible balance. Who realizes that it is usually not only about food, but about emotions also comes away from the clumsy attempt to lose weight with hypnosis.

Hypnosis for performance anxiety and stage fright

Hypnosis can help with stage fright to stay calm or maybe even enjoy the limelight.

The fear of public speaking or stage fright is familiar to most people.

There is hardly anyone who was not nervous about standing in front of people before a big moment. No matter if it is a lecture, presentation, oral exams or musical or other performances, the tension has its place.

Even with training and practice it is difficult to get rid of this queasy feeling completely. However, hypnosis helps to use the adrenaline for optimal performance. The goal is to create a joyful excitement out of the fear of performing by means of hypnosis therapy.

For this we need to know how the unconscious reacts to appearances.

Performance anxiety from a hypnotic perspective

The fear of appearances is not necessarily logical, rational or meaningful, so we look for the causes best in the unconscious. This has evolved over the millennia to protect us from danger, whether it exists only in our imagination or not.

Every risk causes at least nervousness and standing in front of people is basically a risk. It is therefore not surprising that the unconscious reacts with a certain caution.

So stage fright has a useful component. With the right amount of adrenaline, we can make our system perform at its best.

However, when the reaction turns into full anxiety and the reaction blocks the performance, one can speak of an anxiety disorder. Reactions like trembling, sweating, blushing or stuttering can indicate this. Also often described is an anxiety blockade where all preparation seems to be blown away. Many would like to sink into the ground. The stress blocks the fluent speaking.

This also makes sense from an unconscious point of view, because the person has hidden from most dangers or has run away. But scared stiff and with all the blood in the legs, it is not possible to make an optimal presentation.

So with hypnosis we have to make adjustments in our unconscious so that the stress only makes us awake and concentrated instead of fearful and paralyzed.

Hypnosis for stage fright

The methods of hypnosis and hypnotherapy can make the important difference in stage fright. I base my hypnosis therapy against performance anxiety in Zurich on proven and successful methods to reduce the fear. The insights gained from the nature of the unconscious help us to release the blockages.

Me and the audience

Many people with fears at performances see the audience as a kind of a threat or an enemy. If you think that the audience is threatening, then it makes sense for the unconscious to trigger a fear reaction. Especially when you feel small and helpless in the spotlight.

So the aim of the therapy with hypnosis for stage fright is to change the view of the audience. Particularly since often the listeners are also acquaintances or colleagues. To stand in front of your own herd is in itself a much smaller stress factor.

Whoever is on stage is literally has the say. Therefore it is also important to maintain the inner strength with this insight, even if we may have had bad experiences in the past.

Performance trance

Almost all successful performers tell about a kind of trance or flow state when they have their performances. In this state everything flows out of them in an optimal way and they can also interact with the audience.

This condition is not innate, but even the most shy person can learn to activate this within themselves. In hypnosis we practice the change into the performance trance and link it to the triggers that otherwise activated the fear of performing. Thus hypnosis works against fear against the normal processes and prevents the fear of speech or similar to become active at all.

Competent performance

All those who have an appearance should be aware that you should never take everything with you on stage. Whether a play or not, everyone in the centre of attention plays a role. This role should preferably have nothing that could disturb the performance. That's why we design our best performance-self with hypnosis. Neither the memory of the failed lecture from the third grade nor the quarrel with the colleague, nor any other fears and worries have any place on stage. That's why we leave out everything that has nothing to do with retrieving resources in the optimal performance state.

With a strengthened ego and a problem-free head, the fantasy can have a positive effect. The imagination of horror scenarios can give way to visualizations of positive results with hypnosis.

The fun of sharing

The main thing about successful lectures, performances, presentations and performances is sharing with the audience. Having fun with the audience is also an important part of a superior performance. That's why I also attach importance to invite the creativity of the unconscious to bring life into the performance. If you lose the thread or something goes wrong, it is always easier to bear it with a smile on your lips.

Conclusion

Hypnosis is very well suited for the treatment of performance anxiety and stage fright. With the direct effect in the unconscious, hypnosis therapy can start where logical thinking stops. For this reason, hypnosis therapy for stage fright has great chances of success
