Why is it that some people seem to be naturally more extroverted than others? Those who seem to relish the lime light and speak out with confidence and ease, tend to appear more comfortable with themselves, and radiate towards other much more easily. Some might say that it takes all sorts, that it s important to have a variety of personality types, that the quiet introverts have their place. And whilst that s true, if you re an introvert who has been struggling with your low level of confidence, hypnotherapy may be able to help.

Whether you need to have the confidence to be more assertive at work, or the confidence to speak up and say the one thing that you should have said a long time ago, hypnotherapy could be the way forward for you. You may wish for more confidence in one specific area, or in all areas of your life.

Hypnotherapy is an application of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. Anyone can be hypnotised if they are able to concentrate, use their imagination and have the will and want to do it. It s a very simple and relaxing process. When you are in a trance state you focus so much on the hypnotherapist s voice, that your mind can delete (if it wants to) all other sounds or distractions that are normally within your awareness.

Using hypnotherapy to improve confidence is especially effective as it allows the changes to be made whilst in a deep state of relaxation, something which those suffering from stress and worry, have little chance of achieving! Whilst you are in this wonderfully relaxed daydream, your hypnotherapist will fill your subconscious mind with positive messages of confidence, visualisation of scenarios in which you will act with confidence and certainty and powerful anchors to a confident state. This means that your hypnotherapist will ask you to remember a time in the past when you were feeling confident, and as you remember that time your hypnotherapist will instruct you to squeeze your right hand into a fist, or some other simple physical gesture. This act of remembering a confident time from the past whilst making the physical gesture will be repeated several times, until the simple act of squeezing your hand into a fist evokes the confident feeling. This means that you can set off your powerful feeling of confidence at any time you require them.

Hypnotherapy is also extremely effective at remove unwanted negative emotions from the past, which could be the one thing standing between you and your new found confidence.

Using hypnotherapy to improve your levels of confidence could have a very positive impact on your life. If you take a moment now to consider all of the things you could achieve if you were more confident what would your life be like? Perhaps having more confidence would have made you apply for that promotion at work. If you were more confident would you still work for someone else or look at setting up your own business? Maybe you d travel to the places you ve never been but always dreamed of going to, or perhaps you d have the confidence to join a dating agency and meet your perfect partner. Now just consider this for a moment, do you really want to get to the end of your days and wish you d achieved so much more? Take the time now to invest in yourself and create the changes in your confidence with hypnotherapy, and change your life.

When Aaron Kershaw, West1Media CEO, quit smoking using hypnosis we at Westchester1.com (a division of West1Media) became quite curious.
We asked George Wissing, Westchester and Rockland s premier Smoking Cessation Specialist, how he helped Aaron quit . Maybe we should have worded our question differently. Mr. Wissing stated, We are not wired to quit or lose anything our mind is designed to perform as reliably as gravity.
The word quit does seem to be almost synonymous with stopping smoking so we were surprised that Mr. Wissing took exception to this word. He continued, Your inner mind takes what we say very literally and words like quit and lose (referring to losing weight) have negative meaning. We are taught to never quit. We like to win not lose. Your mind is more likely to support goals if they are worded in a more positive manner.
Changing negatively worded goals to positive ones seems to be quite an easy thing to do. In other words it is better to set your goals in positive terms such as; I am a non-smoker or I now live a healthy lifestyle . Quitting and losing are synonymous with failure and can fight your inner nature, says Mr. Wissing.
Certified by both the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the International Hypnosis Federation, Mr. Wissing sees clients in Westchester and Rockland for private hypnosis sessions. He helps people reduce weight, stop smoking, get over bad habits, relieve fears and even helps clients reduce chronic pain. But is it true that he can help people in only one hour? We checked this out with our CEO Aaron Kershaw.
When I first saw the brochure to Stop Smoking in One Hour I laughed and laughed, said Mr. Kershaw. But I finally made the call and after a one-hour session I haven t smoked a single cigarette since. I obviously believe in the cause.
The American Medical Association has recognized hypnosis as a viable therapeutic technique for years but the advent of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has taken hypnosis to a new level. Mr. Wissing explains, We often talk to ourselves in quite a negative and unfocused manner. NLP uses positive and focused techniques to make positive change in our lives and behaviors.
But how does Hypnosis and NLP work so quickly? Mr. Wissing explains, Hypnosis and NLP are very efficient at breaking habits. The way your mind communicates to your body is usually unnoticed but becomes obvious (urges) when we want to change a habitual behavior. Once your mind changes, urges subside. It s that easy
Sounds like a winning strategy to us. Why not get the assistance you may need to stop smoking or make other positive changes in your life?
