the Free Hypnosis Social Network
Question?
I have no idea why I am here? But, could someone tell me if hypnosis could help me with certain issues? I came across a link to this site and was just recently thinking of trying hypnosis to deal with a few issues that seem to keep popping up. I have been on a self-improvement cruisade for a year or so now, reading a lot of books, articles, etc. I am doing great but the other day I had an incident with road rage! A woman cut me off and instantaneously I got really mad, even before I knew it, I sort of gave her the finger. I felt the adrenalin rush come so quickly, it was over before I had time to think about it. I was so embarrassed after I felt terrible about it for days. So I figure that before I may have gotten mad but never really thought much about it but now I rarely get that way and when I do I feel so awful. I now know that I have some underlying issues with self-control which I was wondering if hyponosis could help? Another aspect is that I wanted to take Tai Chi classes and when I went to the beginners class I got so stressed out trying to follow the moves that I didn't go back. Ha, Tai Chi is suppose to relax you! So these issues don't come out in my day to day life but they pop up unexpectly which I think is based in fear of some sort. So can hyponis deal with issues like this? I know some of my anger is from my upbringing because I was raised in a what I call an "Italian like" family, in that we expressed our emotions and there was often tempers flying!

Hi, Amanda, thanks again! Everyone here is so great, so helpful.
I made the leap today and called a person who does hypnotism. A wonderful person and I am glad that I called. We set up an apt. for next week. I am looking forward to it. I spoke to her a few minutes about what I thought I needed and she was so encouraging and supportive. So I am glad that I came on board and so many people were so supportive with my questions.
I will see how it goes and maybe post on it!

Rose, glad to hear you are moving forward with this and actually consulting with a bona fide hypnotist. Really, the issues you discuss are all well within the scope of hypnosis work. BTW, yes, Taichi is supposed to be relaxing but keep in mind it wasn't the Taichi that was disturbing you, it was following the directions and learning the moves . . . an impatience and/or a frustration with yourself and/or with the instruction. Taichi itself can be extremely relaxing . . . obviously, in the right context. :-) If you wish to give it a go, there are some relaxation MP3s for free download on my site which you might find helpful. If you give the deep relaxation files a go, you might also wish to move to some shorter ones such as The Garbage Can mp3 which is only around six minutes but is particularly well suited to folks who experience stress issues that can sometimes get the better of us.
Good luck!
All the best,
Brian

Hi Rose,
What if the recent rage that you experienced has nothing to do with self-control and every thing to do with unknowingly learning a unwanted behavior? Kinda like a conditioned reflex -- it's automatic and beyond any one's control unless you de-condition it -- and it is easy to do... So, you can start feeling better - immediately... Now
If you go to:
http://www.therapytimes.com/blog/MichaelEllner/index.cfm?mode=cat&a...
and process the recent rage you the experienced using the Emotional Detox at the end of the above link -- you will be amazed at how easy it is to take the charge of of these unwanted reactions --

Thank you again Michael. I think you are right. I checked out the link and printed the article, so I will work with it. Loved your blog, I intend to go back and read some of the other articles.
I think I have been trying so hard to be loving that I have been surpressing some of the deeper "unloving" emotions because I don't like them, I don't want them to be part of me, but somehow they are still there and pop up when I least expect them, like when under stress. So if I really and truly want to be the person I want to be, I need to deal with the emotions I have but have tried to bury.
I have been thinking about things these last couple of days and many things have come up that I don't like, things that I have pushed under the rug. I guess I am at a stage now where I need to take up that rug and give a good sweep to what's underneath....
Hope you have a great weekend and again thanks.

Thank you Brian. It's funny but before I got into wanting to "improve" myself, I thought I was rather ok and everyone else had issues! I usually had excuses, which suited me just fine, like the instructor was going too fast, etc. I didn't realize that I was actually fighting with own frustrations! When you start a journey to try to be in a better place it seems to bring out the fact that you haven't been quite the person you thought you were because you discover you have been dealing with unhealthy attitudes by covering them up or ignoring them or justifying them.
Take care
Have a great weekend.
Rose
