Is there some habit that you
want to change? For example, some people have trouble with
controlling their weight; some want to stop smoking but
don’t seem able to, while others can’t seem
to stop biting their nails. There are many different bad
habits that people have and want to change, yet they seem
to keep falling back into the same old routine. The
Two Session SolutionSM of Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale and North
Miami, Florida, uses a combination of methods including
Neuro
Linguistic Programming, Time
Line Therapy® and
hypnosis to help you create the change you want easily
and quickly.
Every habit has some starting point.
In many people, the initial reason for the habit is no
longer an issue, but
the habit has become ingrained so it continues to happen.
In many cases, it is truly unconscious in both the cause
and the behavior. People who smoke have told us they often
have a lit cigarette in their mouth before they’ve
even consciously thought of it, or they put down a cigarette,
light another and then realize they already have a still
lit cigarette in the ashtray. Some people may bite their
nails when they are driving or bored without even thinking
about it consciously.
Some people use their willpower to try to control or change
a bad habit. However, it is usually our emotions which
control our habits. The emotions lay within our unconscious
mind, which is the most amazing supercomputer ever invented.
It runs our body, stores our memories and learnings and
our emotions. The willpower is in the conscious mind, which
in comparison to the supercomputer that is our unconscious
mind is a $2 pocket calculator. In order to make the changes
you desire, you need to get the unconscious mind involved
in the changes you want to make.
Many people try to change a behavior
but find themselves falling back into their old patterns.
In some cases, this
is because the root cause of the habit is stored in the
unconscious mind and has not been addressed. Some methods
of changing habits deal only with the current behavior
without addressing the root cause. For example, you might
try to stop smoking by using a patch. In fact, this doesn’t
even address the current behaviors. Many smokers light
up a cigarette when they are bored or in situations they
have been conditioned to smoke, such as with a cup of coffee
or when driving. The patch doesn’t deal with any
of these conditioned responses and does nothing to deal
with what started the smoking in the first case.
Here are some common examples of habit changes and motivations:
- Smoking—A common reason many people start
smoking as a teenager is as a way either to fit in with
the crowd or as a way to rebel against parents and authority.
Years later, even though the need to fit in by smoking
doesn’t exist (in fact, in today’s environment
smoking separates you more and more in public); the program
created in your unconscious mind that helps you fit in
is still running. The unconscious mind is not the logical
mind, so until you do something to change that program
it will continue to draw you back to smoking. Our advanced
methods deal not only with the original decisions that
caused you to start smoking but help you easily and completely
end the habit once and for all. The best part is that
most of our clients report after their first session
that they
have no desire for cigarettes and they don’t feel
any cravings for cigarettes or food. Being a non-smoker
feels totally natural for them, even if they had been
smoking for 20 or 30 years.
- Weight Control—For
people looking to control their weight, it also involves
changing not just your current
behaviors but also finding the root cause that started
your problems with weight. For some people, eating and
gaining weight is a protection or comfort for them. For
others, being told they were fat causes them to eat too
little and become dangerously thin. They may also suffer
from body dysmorphia (seeing their body differently from
how it really is), anorexia or other conditions.
Our approach looks at not just how a habit exists today
but how it started and how it has changed over the years.
We can then work with your conscious and unconscious to
change the programming that started the habit and to also
give you new strategies that eliminate the undesired habit
once and for all.
If you have a habit you want to change,
give us a call and we’ll show you how we can help
you make that change quickly and easily. |
