If you have ever struggled to change anything in your life, whether it was trying to stop smoking, or too much drinking, or drug use, or trying to lose weight , or if you've ever struggled with unwanted emotional reactions such as fear of heights, stage fright, or concern for how others think of you, or even such emotional problems as post traumatic stress disorder, panic attacks, or relationship problems at work or with a romantic partner - whatever the problem, if you have struggled with it and been unable to control that issue please don't blame yourself.

If you have tried to change and just can't do it or make it stay changed, then you have basically been hypnotized to fail in your efforts. Your subconscious mind has been following the initial programming it received just in the course of living your life and is tirelessly continuing to drive you to feel these unwanted feelings, reliving old painful memories, or doing things you really wish you could stop doing once and for all.

YOU have wanted to change but your subconscious mind has been following old instructions to block that change, to keep on doing things the old way even though YOU consciously have tried to change things.

Somewhere along the line your subconscious habit mind received an effective communication, an instruction to keep you in an unwanted cycle of thinking, feeling, and behaving that you no longer want to have and that is what hypnosis really is. Hypnosis is any effective communication of instruction to your inner mind, your habit mind, that produces effective change.

So since it was hypnosis that caused the problem it can really make sense to use hypnosis to fix the problem. We want to fight fire with fire. So we can use hypnosis to reverse hypnosis. And using self hypnosis is one very direct and rapid way to send new instructions to that part of your mind that keeps doing these things automatically.

The self hypnosis method we will learn in this program was first developed by Doctor Herbert Spiegel, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University and his son, Doctor David Spiegel, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Their initial work was published in 1978 in their book Trance and Treatment - Clinical Uses of Hypnosis (Basic Books of New York).

Doctors Spiegel and Spiegel devised A 30-second self hypnosis method to allow other health professionals to be able to teach self hypnosis in just a few minutes to their patients and to allow the patients to then be able to use this safe and simple method to give themselves effective suggestions for positive change as often as required to produce the results they wanted.

This version of their self hypnosis method was further streamlined to take into account more recent research especially with regard to entraining dream states and habit formation.

In this program you will learn how to enter a state of self-hypnosis, give yourself effective suggestions for self-change, and then exit that condition in as little as 30 seconds. You will also have practice in learning the method during this program. It is suggested that you listen to this program every day for at least three days. It is easy to do and you can review it for additional practice anytime you wish.
