Balance versus Bravado!

Imagine... you have a work CV that you conscientiously keep bang up-to-date.  You add each and every new role, responsibility and acheivment in your working life.  However, your emotional CV can get stuck way back when, and you can seem to be moving forward into your successful future looking through a rear view mirror of the past, be it past fears, failures, or insecurities.  Interactive hypnotherapy can support you in accessing key situations, circumstances, and the emotions surrounding the circumstances when your emotional CV got stuck.  

Consider the disparity in the case of an Executive manager who bangs his or her fists on the boardroom table when s/he wants something done―like a four year old screaming “I want it now’’. What is that all about? At first, it might seem surprising that the executive big-shot is running infant experiential mindware in his/her head, but … isn’t executive truth sometimes stranger than fiction? Perhaps a boardroom colleague blushes when relaying the weekly briefing, or stutters, or panics, suffering anxiety inwardly when under scrutiny. What is that all about really? Imagine the relief this individual experiences when at last they can pass the verbal bat to the next player on the team? Another senior manager may curiously be regularly and reliably unavailable to attend presentations and key meetings, and perhaps due to his level of seniority only a few get to wonder why? Professionally he may be sick in the stomach at the thought of public speaking―a plausible truth for one terrified of being found out. Many successful people are chronically afraid of not being good enough; not worthy enough; not deserving enough; not bright enough; ― terrified of being discovered to be a fake. And yet, you would never believe it, as this member of the talent team hides these personal realities very well. You would never believe that the over-achiever at the Boardroom table experiences a sense of fear of being found to be inadequate. The outer CV may be impressively solid, while the interior self-assessment might be crumbling. 

Interactive hypnotherapy can effectively support you and champion you... and build your foundations from inner strength.
