Becoming the person you want to be – 6 part series

Will Part 3:

This is your ability to hold an image, thought or idea in your conscious mind until it has time to connect itself into your subconscious mind where it begins to manifest itself into your life.  Because your subconscious mind is your perception of reality and is formed usually between the ages of five and nine it is the center of your habits and emotions, it is your permanent memory and it is very protective.  This permanent memory can be a major factor in your success or failure in achieving your goal, especiaally if strong emotions are involved.  As a child when something happed to emotionally upset you such as your mom or dad, or older siblings telling you that you can’t do that you’re not big enough! This statement plants a seed in you subconscious mind that you are too small to accomplish anything.  When anything happens in your life that makes you feel stress, emotional or just not capable because of your size your subconscious mind remembers how you felt at the moment and thinks this may be harmful to you and thinks it is helping you and doesn’t know that it is really working against you.  It becomes a conflict for the conscious and subconscious mind that makes becoming the person you want to be very difficult because they are meeting different needs. 

Hypnosis and NLP work directly on the subconscious mind to help you make the changes you need to make to be the person you want to be.

Memory Part 2:

Why is that we tend to remember only our failures and dwell on them for a very long time?  At one point everything was new to us when we started to walk we would stumble get back up and try again.  When we first learned to ride a bike without our training wheels we may have faltered a bit but we kept on going. The expectations at that time was a given we would most likely “fail” but we received the encouragement to keep on going.  Then as we got older expectations may have changed and we may not have had the same encouragement as a small child and instead of “keep on going” we gave up and started to doubt who we were.   We need to remember to use our memory to recall previous events and experiences when we were successful, regardless of how small the success was it was still a success and by focusing on your successes, you build your self-confidence and become the person you want to be.

NLP and Hypnosis can help you change you limiting beliefs.

Our six intellectual skills are:

Reasoning, Memory, Will, Imagination, Perception and Intuition.


Reasoning Part 1:

Reasoning is our ability to make sense of “our” world around us.  Much of our beliefs and reasoning begins at a very early age usually between 5-7 years of age created by ISE (Initial Sensitizing Event/s) a good example of this is when a child in called to go up to the chalk board to answer a question, the child may spell CAT as KAT and everyone laughs, at the moment the child at the board makes a decision based on their belief/reasoning that they are stupid, class clown, it could be anything.  This reasoning will continue to become a part of our environment due to part by repetition of the thought, peers that continue to laugh, authority figures who tell the child you know better than that, etc. this is sending a message to our subconscious mind that will start the process of protecting us from situations like this which many times leads to fear of public speaking. That part of us, which instinctively makes our heart pound at the thought of speaking in front of a large group of people.  As we get older we may learn that there is deductive reasoning (relying on our current understanding) and inductive reasoning (true thinking based on observation).  As a young child the environment around you created your perception through deductive reasoning.  As an adult you can use your inductive reasoning to create new images and ideas to become the person you want to be.

Sports Performance

Have you reached your peak performance?

Hypnosis and NLP are excellent tools to help an athlete achieve their maximum potential during performance.  Being in a relaxed state during play can mean the difference between success and failure.  Through the application of Hypnosis or NLP my goal is to create an environment in the subconscious mind where stress, anxiety and fear cannot coexist concurrently with calm, positive, relaxed energy that each individual needs to reach their maximum potential.

This is done by “weeding out” any negative or counter productive thoughts that get in the way of achieving their goal.  Whether it is from teammates, coaches, opponents or themselves. I teach them techniques to perform confidently by utilizing their knowledge gained by hours of repetition during practice and training.   Giving Athletes a new level of self-assurance in their performances and ultimately allows them to ask what’s next!

Dr Michael Yapko

Resources Clinical hypnosis can be used to treat depression Dr Michael Yapko has, for the last thirty years, specialized in the treatment of depression with clinical hypnosis. In a climate where anti-depressant medication is still physicians' first treatment choice, Dr. Yapko's approach to clinical practice still represents cutting-edge work. Clinical hypnosis has been directly influenced by the current push for empirically supported treatments, and in recent years substantial high-quality research has assessed the effectiveness of hypnosis and its contribution to improving therapeutic outcome. There is also a growing body of evidence demonstrating that, when hypnosis is part of the treatment process, it catalyses positive clinical outcomes and generally increases the benefits of established treatments. "Hypnosis offers a way to conceptualize how human beings construct their individual realities, and how to interact more effectively with others; in clinical hypnosis hypnotic processes are employed as agents of effective communication and change," says Dr. Yapko, who was chosen to write the sections on Treating Depression and Brief Therapy for the Encyclopedia Britannica Medical and Health Annuals. "Our knowledge of depression has greatly improved in recent years, firmly establishing the essential role of psychotherapy in treatment. Whenever psychotherapy is indicated, so are specific identifiable patterns of hypnotic influence, since the two are fundamentally inseparable." It is estimated that at any one time almost 10% of the UK general population are suffering from depression. Worldwide the figure rises to over 100 million (Paul Gilbert, Overcoming Depression 1997), and the World Health Organization estimates that by the year 2020 depression will be the second most burdensome illness in the world. Financially, depression costs the British nation more than 8 billion annually; included in this cost is provision of health and medical care, lost production and social security benefits." (Depression Alliance 1999). BIOGRAPHY Michael Yapko, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and marriage and family therapist based in Solana Beach, California. He is internationally recognized for his work in depression and outcome-focused psychotherapy, and has had a special interest spanning nearly a quarter century in the intricacies of brief therapy, the clinical applications of directive methods, and in training therapists to treat the disorder of major depression. He is the author of numerous books, book chapters, and articles on these subjects, including Treating Depression With Hypnosis: Integrating Cognitive-Behavioral and Strategic Approaches; Psychological 911: Depression; Hand-Me-Down Blues: How to Stop Depression From Spreading in Families; Breaking the Patterns of Depression; and Hypnosis and the Treatment of Depressions. Dr. Yapko is a member of the American Psychological Association, a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine. Dr Yapko is a charismatic and engaging speaker, whose recent London master classes (February 2004) elicited high praise from delegates.
