Hypnotherapy Will Fix Some Very Common Issues
February 17, 2009
When I first started to gain interest in the field of hypnotherapy at a local Louisville Hypnotherapist, and how I could use it personally for self improvement, I did not realize how extensively a Louisville Hypnotherapy practice could not only change and alter the human mind, but also how many applications outside of pure “self improvement” it actually had. I was thrilled to learn that the practice was also well known for being the best in Louisville Childrens Therapy.
The real item that led me to self hypnosis was the fact that I wanted to not only lose a few pounds, but also get out of the funk that my mind seemed to be in from months of eating whatever I wanted. I’m normally a fairly healthy eater, but for some reason the only thing I had wanted for the longest time was hamburgers and fries and salty fatty snacks.
I needed something to not only dig me out of the weight gain I had endured, but also something more lasting, something that could help me get my mind back where it needed to be for long lasting success. I found hypnotherapy as the best solution while doing research, and began to review CD’s that induced self hypnosis at night before I went to bed, in a deeply relaxed state.
And you know what? It worked! It worked from the initial moment that I tried it. The very next day I noticed my appetite was smaller and it was very easy to pass on the fattening foods that normally I couldn’t pass up. Not only that, but I was now excited to work out. I had a burning passion to do so, one that I knew came from somewhere deep in my conscience that was buried and was now released through listening to self hypnosis CD’s the night before.
It not only worked the first time, but continued to work, and I ended up losing the ten pounds or so that had added over the winter of gluttony. Hence, this was my first glance into the powers of suggestion, and I wanted to learn more about the applications that hypnotherapy had. What I discovered was that it went far beyond the usual treatments that everyone hears about like quitting smoking and weight loss.
There was self hypnosis, and professional hypnosis, for just about every human shortcoming you could think about. There are even body morphing hypnosis techniques that are supposed to subliminally encourage certain parts of your body to either expand (an example here would be penis enlargement), or shrink (say losing weight in a certain area).
Hypnotherapy has been used to help individuals with their sex lives, to help them gain self confidence before public speaking or other stressful events, and it has even helped people to attract others to them more readily in the dating arena.
It can help people stop dangerous habits, such as drinking alcohol too often (there are programs for alcoholics and drug addicts for example), and of course the most famous use of hypnosis is probably to quit smoking.
