Art of Mind Hypnotherapy

 We all keep in ourselves, as an adult, the child we have been in the past. 

 

The adult having received enough affection, attention and positive signs of acknowledgment from his care takers, has every chance of being relatively at peace and can then function in a fairly balanced way.

 

On the other hand, if this child has suffered consciously or unconsciously and feels one or more shortcomings, he remains unsatisfied, deficient and insecure because the child will repress or suppress emotions at times of trouble to function serenely and to be accepted.   In this case,  it is the adult's inner child who often takes control by reacting to the different events of the present life in an intensively emotional way.  The unhealed hurts of our past are brought up by what is experienced in our present. To realize that it is not only "the here and now" that is at the origin of the present suffering, and that is the echo to our past suffering that is the root cause,  is very helping and soothing.

 

We tend to think about the scenarios, relive, then feel emotions and painful sensations of our past. Our subconscious doesn't recall those emotions to hurt us, but rather to relive these situations to try to change and repair.   The inner child desperately wants to be heard.

 

However, without a conscious awareness of our wounds and of what we are in the process of replaying, we usually encounter in our intimate,  family,  social and professional relationships,  the same feelings of sadness, anger, fear, Guilt, impotence, rejection, abandonment, betrayal ... than those experienced in the past.

 

Since the root of the behavior is unconscious, discovering and healing the inner child alone makes it very difficult.   By accompaniment within the framework of hypnotherapy, the adult is becoming aware of the inner child, and the inner child can then be recognized, welcomed, heard and healed.   This new consciousness allows the adult to integrate a happier inner child to the present life and feel at peace with his past to finally enjoy the present.

 

This notion of an inner child has such an influence in all relationships and, it is essential to approach it in therapy. This is a part of what I propose in individual, couple and family hypnotherapy.
