We have all at some time in our lives experienced self-doubts, listening to that little gremlin sitting on our shoulder criticising and telling us we are not good enough and why should we even bother as we’re bound to fail…
This little gremlin resides in our primitive brain, creating voices or images to protect us, however, in doing so it prevents us from trying anything new outside our safety zone, which can be as simple as applying for a new job or taking a driving test. Our inner gremlin feeds us negative thoughts that affect our emotions and behaviours to the point where we believe there is no point going any further and we may as well give up, often, even before trying or attempting anything new.
These unhelpful and downbeat negative thought processes often compact and reinforce our thought patterns and behaviour so much, that over time it becomes normal to feel and act pessimistically towards everything that we do.
This is where solution focussed hypnotherapy can help, by helping you identify these negative thought patterns and behaviours, and help you to gain control of them so you can make positive optimistic changes to enhance your life and live it the way you want to.
Your inner negative gremlin will still be there to protect you in emergencies, however, you will have the necessary confidence and competence to put it back in their box when you don’t need their input, especially with regard to something that you want to do to make your life better and happier
