Fear of paying bills is a common thing for many people. I have worked with people who come from all cultures and it is fairly universal amongst them. When they are in such a fearful state it is very hard to give them logic as to why there is nothing to be fearful about. They just can not hear it. The same happens with those who have trouble filing their taxes. For those people, many are owed money but the fear prevents them from sending in the paperwork.

As a hypnotist, I understand the fear was from early childhood. It may be different for everyone because every person had a unique experience. Examples of this would be of a child who was shamed into thinking that everything that they did was bad and now suffers from this trauma. If they were told that they were stupid or to explain why they did what they did, this person later in life would shut down and be unable to respond to simple questions. Then we have those who have a strong identity around their title. If their job or career is in play, the thought of not being what they always were is a reason the mind just freezes. Those people can no longer function thinking that life will end if the thing they have always known goes away.

Back to hypnosis now. A person in hypnosis is not asleep. They are hyper-aware and soooo relaxed that from the outside it looks like they may be sleeping. In this state they can hear everything and remember everything. They also have choice. This means they can get up any time and leave at any time. It also means that as long as the direct suggestions are beneficial they will be accepted by the mind.

In a first hypnosis session I would address the person's state. By asking very simple questions about when they entered this life such as to how safe and secure they felt, how worthy and deserving coming into the world, how confident, how loved, accepted and wanted. We ask on a scale of 1 to 10 after establishing a dialogue with the unconscious to provide a yes or no response. Most often that is done with the fingers or if needed it will be a nod or with a voice. Once we know that the feeling is optimal it is fairly easy for me to ask the mind to boost the levels to optimal. Multiple sessions generally go deeper to different layers including the physical health levels and especially fears and phobias (real or imagined, known or unknown).

Here is the bottom line, fear stops you from having a great life. Once we get you feeling good, it does not matter what is happening in the world. If you lose you job, you have the attitude that there is something else and even better. If you file your taxes, you will owe or get a refund. Your mind is at peace making the decisions. You become more of an observer rather than a reactor. Best of all, unlike other therapies that require years of talking, in hypnosis it is fast and efficient.
