Hypnosis to overcome fear of driving 

There will be a reason but you won't know until you explore it more. As I say, this is nothing like I do on sessions and we don't talk about doors or anything like that. It's just a way of getting people thinking but there are far faster and better ways of clearing the problem without having to do anything like this.

Only you know what it means but what you've said is similar to many cases I've worked with. There's no way anyone else can interpret it and any solution given to you will fail. It has to come from you.

@@1stdrive thank you so much for your help. I will keep using the videos and hopefully will uncover more. I do think I know what it means now I’ve reflected on it. Your videos are so informative and interesting, thank you

That just means you're not a visual person. Neither am I and this doesn't work for me, I just get frustrated by being told I'm relaxed when I'm not and that I'm seeing things when I'm not. You don't have to lie down or close your eyes and it's not about looking for memories. Real hypnosis is nothing like you'll get from videos like this. People that say they're hard to hypnotise have the most to hide and I've experienced this as both a client and a therapist. The thing that's stopping you being hypnotised Is your problem; it's protecting you! It's like having a room full of junk piled to the ceiling and then you finally get the door open and it all flies out! I worked with someone this year who didn't think it would work on them but need help. I could tell from our consultation that they were very logical and doubted anything would work on them. Not much happened in the first session then in the second...the floodgates opened! They had a huge emotional release with no idea where it came from because it just wasn't like them at all. In the third session they went into a trance after my first question and sat there smiling. Over half an hour went by and they said they never wanted to leave this place they were in because it was so beautiful. I had no idea what was going on and I don't have to, that's how it works. My job isn't to hypnotise people, it's to guide them to hypnotise themselves. I've had the same happen to me as a client. I had several sessions with huge emotional releases with no idea what they were. RU-vid videos can only do so much and they're nothing like real sessions.

What does the mist mean to you?

It means you need to do it again. There's a lot of rubbish about how people take things in when they're unconscious or asleep. It's been proven to be false over and over again and it's not how therapy works. If it were true then you could just play an MP3 of how to learn a foreign language and by the time you wake up you'd be able to speak the language. That was big thing back in the 80s and it was all nonsense.

Ok thank you, I’ll do it again and report back any questions that may come up.

You have to answer the questions though. All a therapist does is help you find them, I can't tell you what they mean.

It means you're not a visual person, I'm not either! Most people visualise but we have five senses: sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. It's about finding the right one for you which is why it's impossible to fix everyone with a video like this. There are hundreds of techniques like this and then times that by the 5 senses, I'd have to make hundreds of videos to cover everyone! Imagine being on a beach. If you can't see it, can you hear the waves? Can you feel the sand? Can you smell the seaweed? Can you taste the salty air? Spotting which of the senses to use is all part of being a hypnotherapist and something you just can't do through a one-way video with no interaction.

@@1stdrive I think I dip in and out of all of them but can't focus if that makes sense, probably less visual tho like you say maybe more smelling, tasting, hearing. Thanks interesting to learn 👍

It can be hard to focus. The way I learnt to do it is to imagine a big feather duster over your head and whenever a distracting thought starts coming in to your head just bat it away!

I definitely understand Melinda. It's going on a year for me. We are going to overcome this anxiety and fear. We got this!!!

The only way you'll overcome it is to get professional help. Being positive and saying you've got it only makes it worse as your mind will ramp up the anxiety to show you haven't got it and need to stop! Only by removing the real reason you have the anxiety, which is nothing to do with driving, will it go.

@@1stdrive So you suggested professional help for dealing with the a anxiety. When I stated we got this, it was meant to take the initiative to over the fear.
