There’s no component in any human endeavor that is as essential to success as confidence. Ability and intelligence are important, but without confidence the results will be disappointing. In fact, unrewarded genius is commonplace.  Hypnosis and hypnotherapy will improve an individuals level of confidence.

If one has confidence, one can excel! It doesn’t really matter whether we’re talking about sports, public speaking, sales, relationships, singing, acting, meeting people… or whatever it is. Most often, not always, but most often, we have lots of confidence when no one is watching, but the fear of failure in front of others can be crippling, and the lack of confidence increases with the amount of pressure imposed on the individual either by themselves or by others.

Case in point. We have all witnessed an event where someone had to play taps or sing our national anthem in front of an audience and they messed up! The trumpet player had played the notes over and over and over again correctly when he had practiced in the band room… but that was when he was alone. The vocalist had rehearsed the national anthem again and again and again… but that was in private. Then, on the day of the performance, the biggest confidence robbers rears its’ ugly head in the form of self doubt. “What if I blow it?” Doubt is a real killer. The fear of failing or not performing well when it really counts can actually be paralyzing.

How has reading positive books, going to hear positive speakers, listening to motivational CDs, and telling yourself that you have confidence, worked out for you so far? The reason that those things haven’t worked and can’t work, is those efforts to make behavioral change are all attempted in the conscious mind. But behavioral change can’t be made in the conscious mind. Ever. Behavioral change can only be made in the subconscious.

Interestingly, we were not born with a fear of failing. It and the fear of snakes, heights, public speaking and everything else was programmed into us probably by parents, grandparents, brother, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, school teachers, friends… you name them as the list is endless. We were actually born with only two fears, loud noises and falling backwards. Everything else was taught and learned.

I once had a major league baseball player in my office that had been hitting over 300 for about four months. Then he lost is confidence for some reason and his batting average dropped to a little under 200. Diagnosing how he might have changed his swing or stance or whatever he might have started doing differently, with the batting coach hadn’t worked. In fact his hitting only got worse. But when he dealt with his lack of confidence in hypnosis on the subconscious level, the results were forthcoming and outstanding!

With hypnosis, we work on improving the confidence in the cognitive maps of a person’s subconscious mind. But first we have to get rid of the malignant thinking! Here’s an example. The software of your mind became corrupted years ago. But if your PC got a virus, even though you kept turning it on and off repeatedly, and thinking positive and hoping that it would somehow start to work again without removing the virus first, that is an exercise in futility. Some mental antivirus software must be run!

Now you are ready to reprogram your subconscious for confidence. We then work on the lack of confidence in the alpha and theta modes of the subconscious mind. This is the only place where one can make permanent behavioral change. Hypnosis is the bridge to the subconscious mind.

We are designed for success, but often programmed for mediocrity if not failure itself. If you want to really develop your confidence, not for just a couple of days but for the rest of your life, call for a complimentary consultation. 404-277-1827
