It is a common observation that sometimes a person doesn't react with pain in circumstances which would be perceived as painful by most people. It might be in a situation, when someone is trying to help others first, not noticing (his/her) own injury.

Our body can do it: is able not to react with pain, or modify the intensity of the sensation, by employing certain mechanisms to do so.

In some cases, the source of pain is unclear. It may be that the pain is a symptom (not medical) and finding its cause sets a person free.

Fear, Phobia, and Panic Attack

Generally speaking, fear may be reaction to a dangerous situation, phobia feels like fear but is triggered by situation or object that are not perceived as dangerous by most people, and panic is one of the two at their highest intensity.

Fear is generated in evolutionary older part of the brain, and can do without the newest addition, the cortex, or the part of the brain which enables our thinking.

When a person is very afraid, (his/her) field of perception narrows down, and decision making comes down to a "fight or flight".
In such a state of mind, no rational arguments have a chance to change the situation.

There are methods used in hypnotherapy that help to deactivate particular fear reaction, so an opportunity for making an informed decision opens up for the person.

If putting up a fight is what someone needs to do, changing how they approach it from "fear" to "challenge" makes all the difference.
When someone feels challenged, (he/she) makes all resources available: focuses clearly on the task, thinks faster, more precisely, notices and takes into consideration important aspects of the situation, adapts to situation on the go, and acts swiftly and decisively.

Depression

A depressed person has the unfortunate opportunity to notice, how many things one needs to do even if it's only in order to just take basic care of (him/her) self. It may feel like you have to use your will power, to perform behaviors that used to be run automatically or almost automatically, like brushing your teeth, walking, having a small talk with someone, playing with your kids.

It seems almost like for a deeply depressed individual it takes an effort to stay alive, without much cooperation of all those subconscious systems that normally would take care of most things, without us even realizing it is happening.

And there is lots to do, being it running processes in our bodies (when everything runs in a smooth balance way, we are healthy), performing behaviors, or organizing information into functional structure of reality.

That inner spontaneous desire to live seems to have lots to do with someone's looking forward to certain experiences.

When you know where you want to get, everything you are made of supports you in your undertaking in unison and all things just seem to fall in the right places. You have the vision, energy, motivation, clarity of mind, determination, joy, confidence, strength, enthusiasm, eagerness to learn, and inner resources just seem to multiply to whatever extend you dare to ask for them.

Depressed people for some reason don't look forward to their future.

It is commonly known that the brain of a depressed person shows certain chemical imbalance.

Some illnesses produce such a condition in the brain, which in turn results in the person feeling depressed.

On the other hand, depression brought upon by difficult experience, produces very similar physiological situation in the brain.

Medication may help with normalization of the physiological processes.

Addressing the experience that keeps someone hostage in a place of despair, or indifference, takes care of the root of the problem.

Memory Recall

On the subconscious level, we seem to have quite thorough movie of our life.

In hypnosis, we may recall memories that are not available, or not in such a detail, when we just try to remember something.

Life Coaching, Personal Growth

We all seek to create experience in our life in a way that gives us opportunities for the learning we are looking for, and to manifest our presence in this world in a way that seems to fulfill us.

You may attune to your Higher Self and in the pristine calmness of your eternal Spiritual Being, look for guidance and direction.

You may slow down a little, to have a good look at your life, and how it feels. Are there dreams, desires, calls, talents, or inspirations that you need to attend to? Or maybe there is a feeling like something is missing, or that you don't even dare to let yourself know how are you doing, but you are pretty sure it doesn't feel right.

Do you feel spiritually centered?

Are you taking good care of your body? Notice how important your body is in every aspect of the quality of your life; how healthy lifestyle translates into the quality of your thoughts, actions, and experiences.

When you know where you want to get, everything you are made of supports you in your undertaking in unison and all things just seem to fall in the right places. You have the vision, energy, motivation, clarity of mind, determination, joy, confidence, strength, enthusiasm, eagerness to learn, and inner resources just seem to multiply to whatever extend you dare to ask for them.

Sometimes, it is the way we perceive reality that makes things difficult. Not only habits become rigid. Many of our convictions and attitudes, once formed, seem to live lives of their own, hardly influenced by new experience or information. Sometimes it is to our advantage, but when that is not the case, proper intervention can bring a lot of relief and healing.

A good hypnotherapist would help you recognize the culprits, and then would take you through a process of replacing the damaging attitudes with ones that you can benefit from.

Personal growth is supported by a healthy relationship with your past. Hypnotherapy may help you to resolve emotional conflicts, heal your younger self on your timeline; empower yourself with your past: make the positive experience stronger and easy to recall, and taking away the emotional charge and strength from bad experience.

Emotional Healing

On our quest for happiness, we rely on our emotional intelligence. We can improve it by learning certain skills, for example how to use hurt or anger in a positive way; How to forgive others and forgive yourself. We may ask questions that provide guidelines: What does it take to enjoy your social and family life more?
What can we do each day for emotional healing, balance and fulfillment? We may ask about it our emotional being when in hypnosis, and move forward with a strong feeling deep inside that we follow our heart.

Confidence

Being self-confident is not about being sure that everything always is going to turn out the way you want. A person's reality is built up of informed guesses; (his/her) future lies all in the domain of possibilities. Concluding here that it is a human thing to err is just redundant (So if you stop expecting yourself to be perfect either at home or at work that would be reasonable.)

This general life scenario being similar for everybody, some people manage to be much more confident than others. How do they do that? Here are a few hints:

When you decide to do something, always imagine yourself succeeding. When you already have succeeded in your imagination, your body responds by walking taller, speaking more clearly, creating all this air of confidence and competence around you. That in turn has other people treating you as a confident person, so you match up your behavior to their expectation. It is the same mechanism that makes "When you can't make it, fake it" work: When you are in a situation that you wish you were more confident, just pretend that you are.

Learn relaxation techniques. That will put you in charge of your stress level; or will allow you to take breaks for regeneration of your resources if a stressful situation has to last for a longer period of time. Knowing that you can relax whenever you wish to boosts your self-confidence, too.

Keep developing your skills and knowledge. That reduces uncertainty.

Work on your thinking styles. "I am smart", "I am capable", "I did so well in a few similar situations, so why not in this one" is a type of thought that you would benefit from. Whereas the self-defeating style: "I will never be able to do that", "I never seem to get anything right" will just work as self-fulfilling prophecies.

When you have the urge to remind yourself what you have done wrong in your life, be very specific about it. Narrow it down to the particular situation when it happened. Don't generalize from there. So instead of saying 'I am a loser", say that you didn't succeed in that certain situation. Avoid dwelling on your shortcomings.

If you are experiencing difficulty it might be because you haven't learnt how to do something yet. When you don't get the outcome you expected, calling it a mistake would take you nowhere. Name it a feedback, learn from it, and correct what you do in order to obtain that desired outcome. Check again what you have got. Repeat if needed. And remember, in every learning process, confusion proceeds clarity.

Put things in perspective. It is very rarely "now or never".

When your internal voice is negative, or critical, try to make it sound ridiculous, maybe like a cartoon character.

Avoid comparing yourself to others. There is no one in the world that is the best in everything. If you compare yourself to people who are the best in some area, you always end up feeling bad. .

Remember things you are good at. Always feed on your success: recognize yourself, credit yourself for them, enjoy them, remember and recall them.

Focus less on yourself Forget about yourself (So don't check if you are feeling confident). Always try to become one with the task at hand.

Differentiate threat and challenge, because that determines which reaction you are going to choose: fight or flight. When threatened, we tend to try to get away, to run and hide, to avoid the situation. When challenged, we mobilize our resources, to prove our abilities. You can learn how to change what feels like a threat into a challenge.

The techniques used in hypnotherapy for self-confidence aim at the above outcomes, helping to develop proper attitudes, so being confident doesn"t feel like a task, but "just happens". Inner trust develops, and confidence just grows stronger with each experience.

Rejuvenation

There are many misconceptions about aging.

The genetic factor is hard to miss: We can see that dogs or cats age few times faster then we do, so the speed of aging must be somehow encoded in the genes.
People don't age at the same pace, either. - Genetics again? - Probably yes, but surely there are more contributing factors.

Most people "look fifty" when they are fifty, but most people conform to a very similar lifestyle that results in that pace of abusing their body.

Nowadays more and more people look years younger then most of the population being their calendar age. The secret is the life style: the way they use their body and the way they take care of it.

All starts with a freeing mental attitude that allows doing things in a new way, to open up to a change, and to shake off the social pressure to be like the majority at certain age. For the most part, it is expecting yourself to be certain way that takes you there.

Aging is about carrying the weight of life experiences on your shoulders, too. But you can let go of the past.

The more balanced and healthy you are on all levels, the less you age over what is genetically programmed.

Use the power of your subconscious mind to keep the quality of your life at its best!

Creativity

Creativity is about spontaneous active participation in the making of experience and reality; about introduction of new elements, forms, perspectives, ideas, harmony, qualities, compositions, and visions.

Being creative is giving yourself permission to be, allowing talents to unfold, and opening up to your creative insights. Allowing the Creative Force of the Universe to flow through you, and manifest itself with your unique touch.

The easier is your access to your subconscious potential, the more creative you are.

I think we found some more support to the above approach to creativity (came across it today, Feb., 2009). Have a look at this presentation:

Elizabeth Gilbert: A different way to think about creative genius

Performance (learning, sports, stage, ...)

Can you imaging performing exactly the way you want to?
Do you think that having an actual experience of everything unfolding that perfect way, as many a time as you wish, would allow you to master it?

That is one of the techniques used in hypnotherapy: creating the opportunity for perfect experience; for creating the "software" for an amazing performance.
