Beliefs

Each and every one of us operates in the world from our own unique combination of beliefs. We see the world in relation to these, and the world we experience faithfully reflects our beliefs back to us.

Some of our beliefs are positive and life-enhancing, whilst others can block us and prevent us from getting the most out of our lives. Many of these are formed at a young age. They can develop as the result of positive or negative experiences; they can be passed on to us by caretakers and teachers or other influential figures; they can be the result of religious teaching or ethnic or national expectations.

Whatever the source, these beliefs operate on us in powerful ways affecting our thoughts and behaviour on a daily basis, most of them operating out of conscious awareness.

In terms of Clinical Hypnosis, this is of great importance. Firstly, a good hypnotherapist is deeply respectful of a person?s belief system recognising that change is most likely to occur in line with what you want if your belief system is worked with. Thus, part of what I am doing during the initial consultation is trying to perceive this in order to 'design' your unique treatment plan.
