Building Confidence and Relationships

Confidence Building: A Three-Session Approach

​

Do you struggle with public speaking or feel held back in specific situations due to lack of confidence? Whether it’s social anxiety, panic attacks, or assertiveness challenges, our three-session approach can help you break through limiting beliefs and build lasting confidence. While this example focuses on public speaking, the method is highly adaptable to your unique confidence needs.

​

Example:  Client with Fear of Public Speaking

​

Session 1: Understanding the Root Issue

​

• Issue:

• Confidence challenges often stem from a limiting belief in a specific situation, even if you’re confident in related areas. For example, you might feel at ease speaking to your team of 10 but struggle when addressing a larger audience.

• ​

• Suggestion:

• Establish empowering affirmations such as:
  "I am calm and confident; words flow easily."

• ​

• Positive Reconnect:

  • Positive public speaking experiences, no matter how small.

  • Compliments or positive feedback you’ve received about your communication skills.

  • Any moments where you’ve felt confident and capable.

​

​

Session 2: Addressing Negative Experiences

​

• Negative Disconnect:
  Regress to and process events that contribute to self-doubt, such as:

  • Childhood moments, like being criticized by a teacher or peers while speaking in front of a class.

  • Early professional setbacks, like a speech or presentation that didn’t go as planned.

• Wise Adult Coaching:
  Step into the role of your inner Wise Adult, offering support and perspective to your Younger Self.

  • Recognize that incidents you’ve carried as “big deals” were likely unnoticed or forgotten by others.

  • Shift outdated beliefs holding you back and replace them with empowering thoughts.

  • ​

Session 3: Transforming and Visualizing Success

​

• Reframe Emotions:
  Turn stress into a positive force:

  • Stress motivates preparation and focus.

  • Public speaking is an honor and a sign of trust in your abilities.

  • People want to hear what you have to say and are rooting for your success.

• Forgiveness:

  • Forgive significant people (e.g., parents, teachers, peers) who may have contributed to your limiting beliefs.

  • Forgive yourself for perceived failures that may have been self-criticism rather than reality.

• Future Progression:
  Visualize your future as a confident speaker.

  • Mentally rehearse the entire process: traveling to the venue, waiting your turn, and delivering your speech with ease and clarity.

  • Experience the satisfaction, relief, and praise that follow a successful presentation.

  • ​

By addressing both the root causes and future opportunities, our structured hypnotherapy approach builds a foundation of confidence for public speaking and beyond. Take the first step to unlock your potential today!

Healing and Strengthening Relationships: A Three-Session Approach

​

At Light Manor Hypnotherapy, we specialize in helping clients overcome challenging dynamics in relationships. Whether it’s navigating guilt trips and manipulation from a parent, overcoming blame toward caregivers, or addressing feelings of anger, fear, or tension in personal or professional relationships, our method is designed to foster healing and empowerment.

This example demonstrates how we might work with a client who feels dominated by a parent, blames life challenges on parental failings, or struggles with aversion, leading to conflict or tension. However, this adaptable process can be customized to suit a variety of relationship challenges, whether similar or entirely unique.

​

Example:  Overcoming Parental Domination

​

Session 1: Understanding the Root Issue

​

• Issue:
  The client may struggle with:

  • Feeling dominated by a parent through guilt trips or manipulation.

  • Blaming life issues on the mistakes or shortcomings of their parents.

  • Experiencing anger, fear, or aversion that leads to unhealthy dynamics like attacking, cowering, or ongoing tension.

• Suggestion:
  Establish empowering affirmations, such as:
  "I act from my calm, clear power, not from my past confused pain."

• Positive Reconnect:
  Revisit and recover positive memories that might have been overshadowed by recent negative experiences. Examples include moments of kindness, support, or connection, helping to rebuild a more balanced perspective.

• ​

Session 2: Breaking Free from Negative Patterns

​

• Negative Disconnect:
  Explore and process the root causes of unhealthy dynamics:

  • Domineering Parents: Revisit childhood moments where controlling behaviors conditioned your responses. Use your Wise Adult self to step into those situations and reclaim your power.

  • Blaming Parents for Failures: Recognize how focusing on their mistakes can overshadow the positive aspects of your relationship. Develop understanding and compassion for their limitations.

  • Aversion and Tension: Reflect on events where small incidents became magnified, and shift to a healthier perspective.

• Reframe Emotions:
  Replace negative feelings with empowering beliefs:

  • "They did the best they could with what they knew then."

  • "They couldn’t have acted as I would have liked, even if they wanted to."

  • ​

Session 3: Empowering Your Future

​

• Wise Adult Coaching:
  Empower your inner child by introducing your Wise Adult self. Help your younger self see the reality of your capabilities as a mature adult, breaking free from outdated or self-limiting beliefs.

• Forgiveness:

  • Forgive others by understanding the context of their actions. For example, “They weren’t bad people but acted out of the limitations of their time or experiences.”

  • Forgive yourself for holding onto guilt or self-criticism that no longer serves you.

• Cord Cutting:
  Symbolically release unhealthy attachments to disproportionate emotions or beliefs tied to difficult relationships. Maintain healthy boundaries while letting go of what holds you back.

• Future Progression:
  Rehearse calm, confident, and assertive interactions in future scenarios. Visualize yourself maintaining balance and clarity in challenging moments, building healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

​

​

This example illustrates how our method can help address guilt trips, manipulation, and blame within parent-child relationships. However, this adaptable approach is equally effective for navigating other family, friend, or professional relationships, whether similar or entirely different.
