Marc, since initiating hypnosis with Power Hypnosis to increase my self-confidence, and particularly my confidence in interacting with women, I’ve experienced very distinct, positive changes in my life and personality.
Prior to working with you I would consistently find myself too intimidated to approach a person I wanted to meet, and floundering and nervous on those occasions when I did find the courage to initiate contact.
After working on overcoming my general lack of self confidence what helped me further was that we focused on me as a whole person. Venturing into treating more specific areas including bad habits like nail biting, the fear of speaking publicly, lack of assertiveness at work, and of course confidence in engaging women. I’m convinced that it is this whole-person approach that has facilitated the deep and lasting changes I was seeking.
Since our work together, my interactions with the opposite sex have taken on a very different character! I find myself fully relaxed, yet just exploding with confidence. I no longer let the situation get to me. It no longer matters where the conversation might go or how (or that) it might go off course. My more relaxed state allows me to enjoy the interaction for what it is and in the moment it happens and not to encumber it with anxiety. And, as you predicted, women have even begun approaching me at times, without my having to make any effort whatsoever! It’s not an easy feeling to describe, but if I had to I’d use an analogy: I’d say it feels like I’m riding a strong, surging horse up a steep hill, like I am simply unstoppable and like I have a perfect, clear-headed grasp of the situation. It feels like being a different person. Something like: “Wow, where’s my anxiety right now?” I look for it to be there, I expect it to be there, and it’s not!
Additional evidence of the effects of our work would be that I haven’t bitten my nails at all since our last meeting 2 months ago, and that my habit of biting my lip has decreased at least 90%! At work I’m cool and deliberate, no matter to whom I’m speaking. I no longer feel intimidated, and I say what I want to say knowing that I’ll be understood. And if I’m not at first, I’m not flustered; I simply reassess the conversation and readdress the person I want to communicate with.
I can’t tell you how happy I feel to be able to go through life without my former concerns! I’m grateful to you for helping me make these changes. And I’m grateful to myself for taking action and having the guts, or even, the defiance! (of a general public doubtfulness of alternative therapies or self-help generally). Thank you!
