Every so often, when I’m talking about hypnosis and how amazing it is, I get someone (usually men) who say that they would never do hypnosis because of what’s down in their subconscious mind- they’re afraid of what might be down there….
And I kinda get it.
There’s something down there that you just don’t want to confront.
You wanna keep those things in the shadows.
And a lot of times what’s in the shadows is fear, guilt and shame,
Fear, guilt and shame love to hide out in the shadows.
These emotions can operate with maximum power and have full reign in the shadows.
When fear, guilt and shame are brought into the light, they lose their power.
He Was Cheating and Lying Right to My Face
When I found out that my ex was cheating, I felt guilt and shame.
I felt shame. even though I didn’t do anything wrong.
Well except to trust a lying cheater.
It was kinda misplaced, shouldn’t he be the one feeling shame?
My first reaction was I didn’t want anyone to know about it. I wanted to take that secret to the grave.
Bringing out the cheating from the shadows was really hard – mostly because I felt so stupid.
I felt betrayed.
How could I have missed all those signs?
I knew somehow that I would have to take responsibility for the part I played in it.
Because I didn’t miss the signs.
My subconscious was showing them to me all along.
I glanced at his phone right when he was looking at some incriminating information or image.
My intuition showed me all the signs I needed to see.
I just didn’t listen to them.
Maybe I wasn’t ready to see them yet and admit the true nature of my ex.
I still wanted to believe.
There was a payoff in there somewhere.
But finally, I woke up. I didn’t want to waste the pretty.
I didn’t want to waste any more precious time.
I didn’t want to waste another second of my life.
But I still wanted to keep this whole cheating thing under wraps.
I wanted to keep all the shame in the shadows. I didn’t want anyone to know.
Then I started getting therapy, and I got really complete with it, logically and emotionally.
I finally put the cheating and my ex into the past using therapy; and hypnotherapy to resolve all those misplaced emotions, like guilt and shame, lingering feelings of attachment to someone who was lying to my face…
Someone who I thought I was in a relationship with but ultimately, someone who I did not know at all.
And only when it was complete, I had done all the talking I needed to do about it, I had resolved all the confusing emotions with hypnosis, and it was totally in the past – only then could I actually bring the whole sitch out from the shadows.
Then it became really liberating and part of my healing to talk about it and tell people my story in an empowering way.
It no longer had power over me.
Before I had caught him cheating, no one ever talked to me about their experience with cheating, but as soon as I opened up about my experience with a cheater, it allowed other people to open up as well.
So I get why some people want to keep whatever is hidden, keep whatever is in the shadows, keep it there in the dark – but there is this liberation, and there’s this freedom that come from getting whatever’s there in those dark corners out into the open, taking a good look at what is really there.
And then putting whatever that is into the past using talk therapy to logically make sense of whatever it really is and how you got there and using hypnotherapy to clean up any emotional loose ends so that you can live so that you can leave the past in the past.
Because you can create a whole new future.
A whole new future that doesn’t look anything like that is waiting for you.
Because your subconscious mind always wants to do the best for you.
It has a positive intention to whatever it is that it that it does, whatever plan it has for you when whatever is in the shadows is no longer creating your future.
There’s always a positive outcome that comes from a session of hypnosis.
Not only positive, but it will blow your mind what your subconscious mind has in store for you. Things that you have never thought of before but are perfect possibilities.
There’s no need to be afraid of what’s lurking in those shadows because whatever you resist persists and continues to show up in your life anyway…
The more you resist something, the more it’ll persist.
So that persistence that resisting of what’s there in your subconscious causes it to stay alive with full power.
Every once in a while, whatever’s down there comes into your conscious awareness out from the shadows…
Every time these things come into your conscious awareness, and you resist it and push it back down, you give it a little bit more power, and it festers in the shadows.
But if you can accept what’s there with the help of hypnosis…
Whatever you can face, you can replace.
Whatever you can acknowledge, you can change in whatever ways that it is so – you can transform it.
Being with all that emotional stuff that’s in the shadows, that you’re kind of afraid of being with is not always easy to be with with your conscious mind.
But all the hidden stuff, all the emotional stuff, the fear, guilt and shame is in the realm of your subconscious.
So when you connect with your subconscious mind, you’re at a different level of being able to be with that in a way that you can transform whatever’s there.
You can bring all that fear, guilt, and shame into the light, put it in the past where it belongs and you can discover what your subconscious mind has for you.
Because when you’re on your true path, when you’re on that program that you’ve intentionally set in your subconscious GPS, things will just flow, like, they’ve never flowed before.
And that’s the positive intention that’s waiting there for you.
What’s the thing that you’re resisting that’s stopping you from experiencing flow?
