There are very beneficial and fascinating ways of going beyond the day-to-day thought process to find what is located in deeper places. This can happen in guided imagery and hypnosis. Of course, in the media, and through the years, hypnosis has been dramatized and misrepresented in many ways, but the truth about it is that it can be a slow and gentle way to move away from external stimuli and focus on own's thought process. In a sense, it is like meditation. Hypnosis also has a way of “getting in under the radar” – under one’s defenses and conditioned ways of thinking. In this way, it is a bit like sleep, in the sense that one’s “day mind” gets moved out of the way so that one can search for and identify outworn and dysfunctional habits and substitute them with better ones. Also, I can teach you scripts which you can use on your own at home.
