The symptoms are pronounced: a lump in the throat when trying to start a conversation, tightness in the chest in public. And when he catches his eye, he breaks into a cold sweat. During the dive, it turned out that at the age of one, the client had a severe shock - his parents actually abandoned him. It seems like financial problems. For two years their attitude towards their son was cool, then everything got better, but the boy still had a “sediment” left. A day after the session, he burst into emotions - when he returned from work, he cried and swore. As soon as he released repressed emotions, he realized that his problem was the remnants of childhood experiences. In three sessions, the main fears were removed, after which the client enrolled in public speaking courses at one of the theater institutes, where he gains communication experience and attracts female students. Renewed relationship with father. I didn’t with my mother, and that’s okay. Sometimes you just have to stop loving someone.● IT’S ALL ABOUT THE IRON Girl, 25 years old, actress. I almost constantly failed tests due to excessive stress. The starting event was an accident at the age of about two years, when the girl dropped a hot iron on her hands. She was badly burned, but her psyche was broken by the fact that her mother was not around (perhaps the child was “loved”). As a result, she was offended that no one helped, spreading the offense to the whole world. Accordingly, when the parents sent their daughter to the camp, the feeling of resentment only grew, because she felt like she was “among others.” By the end of school, he was already a fully formed social phobia. During the immersion, the emotional component of psychotrauma and order were removed. Now the client calmly performs on stage and even received a driver’s license - at the same time I eliminated her fear of speed.● SHOCK RECEIVED IN MOMMAN, 32 years old, economist. Only under the fumes of alcohol can he talk to the girl he likes. Without it, an irrational desire to hide arises. He had a consultation with a psychologist, where he was diagnosed with childhood psychotrauma, which he is now trying to “understand” and “forgive”, following the specialist’s recommendations. In principle, a good idea, but forgiveness works when a person takes responsibility for his life, including the life he has lived. First they pulled out the psychological trauma - they left the one-year-old boy with his older sister, he “went big” and remained neglected for a long time. The consequence of this incident was shame and a desire to sneak away. It was on this memory that the client began to experience emotional release, as in an exorcism (by the way, one of the reasons for the fear of hypnosis). The demon, of course, was expelled, but just in case they decided to dig deeper. The fact is that hypersensitivity is like a crack in a cup, you can’t leave it like that, it will soon crack. It turned out that the guy’s psyche “gave a crack” even in the embryonic period. A pregnant mother quarreled with her father, who tried to prove he was right by force. The reflexive part of psychosomatics was removed, and now the client says that he can communicate with important representatives of the fair sex without suffocating. That's okay.● HOW TO BECOME A HEROMen under 40, business owner. The request is like a boy’s: “I’m afraid to fight,” although I’m physically developed. A typical example: “I’m sitting with colleagues in a restaurant, the company next to me is too noisy - I can’t say anything to them, although I’m ashamed in front of my comrades.” As a result, I began to avoid parties and crowded places in general. I was admitted to the session only after reading articles about hypnosis - there were too many myths in my head. I thought that he would come, lay out the money, and I would give confidence. Oh, this TV is for me! The reason surfaced only on the second of four sessions. It turned out that my brother made fun of me - he literally made me cry in public on the train. Then it was finished off by the behavior of his father, who supported the “joke.” After working through the work, the client immediately went to test himself in the field.
