She was due to take a yoga exam in a few days so needed a quick fix for her confidence on that day and a longer-term strategy to build her confidence again. The effect As well as her immediate anxieties around her yoga exam, she had other challenges with exams and progression with work. She also suffered from severe self-esteem issues affecting every aspect of her personal life. Solution As she had experienced times when she had been confident and her self-esteem had been high we anchored those times. She knew the exam hall well so we created a new trigger for her based visually on the hall doors to initiate the feelings of self-confidence and relaxation. We used hypnotherapy to investigate the root causes and collapse the unhelpful anchors she had created. As her inquisitive nature would get her in and out of state very quickly we used hypnotherapy to create a trance state so we could work with her unconscious mind without every thought getting analysed. Result Hypnotherapy with Duncan has changed my life, how I think and how my mind reacts to situations that I have not been able to deal with in the past. Thanks to his understanding of my core issues I have finally started to gain back my confidence and self-esteem. I am only two sessions in but Duncan has taken me on a journey that has changed my outlook on life and helped me get back to the happy place I was in 10 years ago, and for that I am eternally thankful.
