Can Hypnotherapy help someone forget someone or something?
I’m sorry to say the answer to the question “Does Hypnosis help to forget someone?” is no.
How hypnotherapy can help is to change the way you think and feel about them.
Often when we have been hurt emotionally we feel many conflicting emotions. Love, hate, jealousy, lust, envy, disgust and fear for our future. But these feelings pass over time. The emotions are often amplified by anxiety. Our anxiety about what the other person may say about us. What the future hold in another relationship? Where should we go to find another partner?
)ur very existence is threatened when we are dumped. This stems back to tribal living. If we become the outsider, we are more likely to become prey for wild animals and other tribespeople. So it’s no big surprise emotionally, we are put on high alert and want to be pacified.
How can hypnotherapy help?
Reducing our stress levels and accepting positive suggestions can help build confidence and self-esteem. Hypnosis is all about placing ourselves in trance and changing our habits, our way of reacting and to realise that our belief systems are what holds us back in life. Our values are important but sometimes we need to lay them to one side to achieve something important.
Case Study
Kathryn had been dumped by her boyfriend of 6 months. She found her self-esteem had plummeted and she was finding it difficult to socialise. Her embarrassment of the way he had ended the relationship in public just played in her head over and over again. She wanted to forget about him. Erase the bad experience from her memory.
Memory cannot be erased like that, but what we can do is to wipe out the emotional memory attached to it. After using an NLP technique called rewind, she was able to think about the incident but no longer feel all the negative emotions connected to it.
If like Kathryn you have had a bad experience you’d like to change, then contact me to find out how.
