A New Day Hypnosis

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I’ve had problems with a lack of confidence for the last five years. I was scared to talk with new people or with someone who was intimidating to me. I told myself that I couldn’t do things and I tried to avoid situations that would draw attention to me. If someone called my name and everyone looked at me, I would get embarrassed and try to stay out of it.

If I came into a situation where I would be able to talk to someone who could positively affect my life or my career, I would avoid the situation or I would be too nervous to talk to them. I plan to become a professional soccer player, but I was so distracted by fears about my own performance that it affected my game. It was negatively affecting my ability to meet new people, to speak up in class, and to perform on the field. I had a hard time falling asleep and I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling anxious.

I’ve tried doing this on my own. I would tell myself that I could do it, but I just gave up after a while and was never really too serious about it. I started thinking deeply about my problem and seeing how it was affecting me in different ways. I looked at it critically and I thought that if I found a solution to this problem that my life would really improve. I needed advice on what to do and I needed to know what someone else might think.

A friend told me that hypnosis might help, so when I passed by A New Day Hypnosis, I decided to come in and check it out. After the first session, I noticed that I had a more positive outlook and friends noticed a change in my attitude and character. I was talking in big groups and I felt more confident. It was easier for me to approach new people and I did things that I would have been scared to do before. When I was playing soccer, I wasn’t paying attention to the things that other players said and my game improved. I also found that I was sleeping more deeply.

I feel more in control now. If I am scared about making a mistake, I do it anyway. The approach that I take now is “If they’re going to laugh at me, it doesn’t have an impact on the way that I feel about myself.” When friends or teammates have tried to make me feel stupid, it doesn’t work on me anymore, so they just stop.

Hypnosis has given me more confidence and I don’t care too much about what anybody has to say about me anymore. Laura said exactly what I needed to hear. When I make a mistake, I don’t feel like I’m different anymore. I now know that everyone is a human being and that we all make mistakes.

I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone who wants to work on confidence because it has helped me. I can really tell the difference in my attitude and beliefs. The main things that I used to be scared of, I realize now that they don’t matter. I’m not paying so much attention to other people’s criticisms anymore and I know that if I can overcome this problem, there isn’t anything in the future that I can’t handle.

I’ve suffered from low self-esteem and had a poor self image all of my adult life. It colored everything in my life and created a negative viewpoint. I suffered from emotional extremes and had a lot of ups and downs. I looked at life very fatalistically and it felt like too much trouble to go out into social situations; when I did go out, I would often put up walls that kept me from connecting with people.

I’ve tried traditional therapy and anti-depressants and they have been helpful to some degree. I don’t do well if I have a “sit and stare at you” kind of therapist and I question that method of therapy. I felt like I’d tried everything else and I wanted to see what was out there, so when I heard about A New Day Hypnosis on yahoo local I decided to look into it.

After the first session, I noticed a difference. I had fewer negative thoughts and I started sleeping better, which has helped. Having the ability to detect the negative thoughts and working to change them has been easier.

What I like about Laura is that she is very conversational and easy to talk to. If I believe that something is rational, it’s easier for me to accept, her feedback is both practical and helpful. Life has to have those ups and downs and this process has helped to shift me up and keep me from getting too low. I feel more confident in social situations and it’s easier for me to keep the walls from going up when I’m meeting new people. I have put myself in more social situations and I’ve gotten some tools that have been really useful for me.

I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis because it has helped me and it has been a big benefit. I am less likely to expect the worst and I’m more positive and less self-deprecating overall. Every session had something very practical and useful and it’s been a huge help to raise my mood levels.

I’ve had a problem with nail biting since childhood. I had no concept about how to control it, how to change, or what I could possibly do. My fingers were constantly dry and the cracked skin on my fingertips really hurt. It’s a gross and unattractive habit. It was frustrating, but it felt like a part of my being and fiber and I completely lacked the ability to control it.

The biggest problem for me was the way that nail biting affected my image. As a professional in the business world, maintaining hygiene is important particularly when you are in a business where people are looking to you as a trusted advisor and confidant. Biting your nails is the universal sign of nervousness and nobody wants to put their trust in someone who looks anxious.

I’ve tried to overcome the problem by wearing gloves and putting nasty stuff on my fingers. Many years ago, even wore a chewable item around my neck as a substitute. I tried chewing gum, smoking, eating, and chewing pens in lieu of nail biting. Unfortunately, at some point, I would end up in a position where I wasn’t surrounded by other things to chew, so I just continued to go back to biting my nails.

I heard about A New Day Hypnosis on google and decided to call. I noticed results immediately in the first week after my appointment. I was able to recognize the pattern of behavior consciously and acknowledge and begin to deal with it instead of unconsciously biting my nails. I’ve noticed an improvement in the health of my cuticles and hands and I’m definitely feeling more relaxed now. I am better at putting myself in a state of relaxation and have less anxiety overall.

This process requires effort and relies on me making the commitment, but I am now consciously aware of what I’m doing and developing the awareness has been an important step to getting control. Understanding the behaviors or issues that motivate nail biting has also helped a lot. I’m able to think about what is happening in my life and I have realized that nail biting is very specifically tied to certain emotions and issues. The final step in the process has been developing the ability to stop biting my nails and being able to intervene when it happens.

I feel more confident in public because I have better hygiene. My nails are in better shape and my fingers feel better. Along with the direct impact of solving the nail biting problem there have also been a number of ancillary benefits that I had not anticipated. Developing a relationship with Laura has been a great benefit because she is a confidante and counselor as well as a hypnotherapist.

When I first came in, I imagined that it was going to be like stage hypnosis and I would learn to substitute behaviors, but it has turned out to be much more beneficial. This has been more about identifying root causes instead of just addressing the symptom. The ability to relax and calm down in my daily routine has also been a tremendous benefit for me.

I would say to anyone who is apprehensive about hypnosis that this is a trust exercise that is no different from confiding in a friend or putting your finances in the hands of an advisor. Laura is an imminently trustworthy person and the process itself has value. There should be no apprehension about utilizing this type of service.

I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone who wants to overcome nail biting because it works and the overall experience of working with Laura has had benefits on a number of different levels. I think it’s a great process for anyone who is dealing with the same issue. I now have control over a behavior that I previously didn’t feel in control of and that gives me a sense of empowerment. I’ve entered a new chapter in my life and I am confident that I will not fall back into unconscious nail biting.
