Is it mandatory for things to get worse before they get better? Like all hypothetical questions, the answer is “it depends.”

For example, if you want to clean a closet, you must haul out all the junk that has been gathering for years. What was taking up a few shelves and a small hollow space now consumes the entire room. It makes a big mess.

The worst parts are the myriad of decisions that follow. Each item is a keep, toss, donate, or giveaway decision. And sometimes, that requires reliving the memory or recovering things you had given up for lost.

What you thought might take an hour consumes the better part of the day.

The next step is to put the “keep” pile back in, in order, where you can easily access each item in the future. Then you must do something with the leftovers. Haul them to the garbage, trudge them to a donated items bin, or send them to others.

Now things are better.

Sorting your feelings can be much the same process.

You must go through them and decide what to keep and which to let go of around a situation or person.

The process usually includes bravery to acknowledge the work ahead, the righteousness of feeling the victim, the shame of feeling the villain, the anger of feeling cheated, etc.

Do you want to keep these feelings? What still fits, what no longer serves, and what can possibly be better for reliving and sorting through that mess?

Everything.

Hypnotherapy provides a safe space to sort through those feelings by understanding where they came from and how best to deal with them. You decide what to revisit and how to resolve issues moving forward.

My job is to help you to enter and maintain the trance space that allows for essential exploration and understanding.
