Stop Self-Sabotage With Hypnotherapy

 

How to use hypnotherapy with Hypnobalancing™ to update your unconscious mind to stop undermining your own best interests.

Overview

 

 

 

 

Self-sabotage

 

Are you sabotaging your chances of success? Don’t let self-sabotage ruin your dreams. Learn how to develop the confidence to meet your potential head-on and be the person you really want to be.

 

 

 

What causes self-sabotage?

 

Self-image and self-esteem begin forming at a very young age in the subconscious mind. Self-destructive behavior can stem from childhood conditioning, unhealthy relationships, or a negative inner voice. Often that voice or those memories haunt us for the rest of our lives.

Often we let negative thoughts get in the way of our dreams and lose sight of what we want out of life. If you want to stop getting in your own way and start living your life without fear of failure, hypnotherapy can help.

 

 

 

Negative effects of self-sabotage

 

Common negative effects of self-sabotage are:

  • Damaged personal relationships
  • Difficulty achieving goals
  • Feelings of emptiness and loss
  • Frustration or even depression
  • Financial problems
  • Harmful addictions
  • Inability to focus or concentrate
  • Inability to create and achieve your goals
  • Irritability and bad moods
  • Isolation
  • Job loss or career stagnation
  • Lack of self-reliance
    Lack of self-confidence
    Loss of energy
  • Loss of purpose or motivation
  • Low self-esteem
  • Poor self-image
  • Physical illness
  • Poor communication skills
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Social anxiety
  • Substantial weight gain or loss

 

If you suffer from some, many, or all of these, self-sabotage could well be the cause, and hypnotherapy to stop your self-sabotage may provide the help you need.

 

 

 

How hypnotherapy and Hypnobalancing™ can help you

 

Through hypnosis, you can uncover the reasons for your self-sabotage and learn to counter those beliefs with new positive affirmations. You will learn to feel more relaxed and encouraged by the idea of success and realize that success is a goal that everyone deserves.

A trance provides a better base for many therapeutic techniques. Trance is a very natural state. Many approved methods are even more effective when carried out in a trance state because the whole experience becomes more intense.

How to Decide to Ask for Help

 

Overcoming Doubts About Seeking Support

 

Are you wondering whether you need professional help to recover? You might feel that you should handle things on your own, or that seeking help means you’re not strong enough. Perhaps you are afraid that discussing your issues could worsen your symptoms. These concerns are natural, but addressing them can clear the way for meaningful progress.

 

 

The Value of Reaching Out

Taking the step to seek help doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s a sign of emotional strength and self-awareness. Therapy offers the chance to balance personal autonomy with the support of a trusted professional. An experienced therapist will guide you at a comfortable pace, never pressuring you to discuss topics you’re not ready for. Emotional resilience grows through learning when and how to seek support while maintaining independence.

 

 

Assessing the Impact of Symptoms

 

To determine if professional assistance might benefit you, consider how your symptoms affect your daily life:

  • Are your relationships fulfilling and healthy?
  • Can you focus and perform effectively at work?
  • Do you feel joy and satisfaction in your daily life?
  • Is there a sense that life could be more fulfilling?

If your symptoms limit your ability to thrive in these areas, reaching out for help could be a valuable step.

Appointment booking

 

Please read the important information before making an appointment with me, including the contraindications for psychotherapy with hypnotherapy. I have answered frequently asked questions for you. For the success of your therapy, this information is of crucial importance. If this attracts you, then you can find out about booking your appointment here. The better you are informed, the faster we can focus on you and your wishes.

To make an appointment, you can preferably contact me by e-mail (mail@noack-hypnose.de) or by using the contact form (privacy policy) as well as by phone 01577 704 53 56 or 030 - 864 213 69. You will then receive a confirmation of your reservation by e-mail. In this reply, you will find the details for the first session. This usually happens within 24 hours. If you do not receive a reply, it could be because an email has ended up in the spam filter. In such a case, please call me.

There are only a few practice hours available, and they want to be used well. The fee for individual session hours is therefore always to be paid in full by bank transfer, with payment received at least 7 days before the session.

Why at least 7 days in advance? I would like to do it differently, but this is the best practice. Appointments that have not been confirmed with payment received seven days in advance are noticeably more likely to be canceled. And the repeated callbacks take up a lot of time. Because of this, I'm currently faced with the decision of whether and how to either significantly adjust fees to absorb this or to consistently organize in a way that is fair to all parties. Because of this, I am also offering options in terms of shifting appointments with the fees.

There is a maximum of 20 hours a week available for psychotherapy, and any canceled appointment means patients are unable to benefit from psychotherapy help. I understand that it would be more convenient for you otherwise, but this solution is the fairest for all involved.

You can use real-time bank transfer (costs 25 Ct. at Sparkasse Berlin, for example) for time-sensitive appointments, and the transfer takes a few minutes, or we can make an appointment with appropriate advance preparation. If this is not an option for you, please let me know immediately so that I can assign your appointment. Otherwise, I appreciate your understanding and look forward to intensive cooperation.

You are not in Berlin or prefer an alternative instead of coming to me?

 

You are not in Berlin or do not want or cannot come to the practice for other reasons? Then it is worth reading the following information about the options:

 

a. Travel to Berlin

 

For clients traveling to Berlin, there is the possibility, if booked in advance, to hold 2 sessions on the same day. It should be discussed in advance by telephone whether this is a recommendable option, as it requires appropriate prerequisites. Any sources of additional pressure should be avoided in the interest of the therapeutic success.

Here you will find further information when considering to travel to me in Berlin.

 

 

b. Online sessions

 

At times a personal meeting is not possible. In such cases, a telephone session or a session with video support via the Internet is an alternative or supplement. I have been using this setting for many years, and many clients have achieved excellent results with it. These experiences make it easy to achieve very intensive sessions in this way as well. You are more flexible and can also use my support very promptly. There are currently reduced fees for such sessions.

You are also on the safe side regarding the coronavirus. By the way, this is also an option if you should be unexpectedly unable to attend a session personally.​

Self-hypnosis  

 

When appropriate, I will teach you self-hypnosis to complement the hypnosis sessions. Self-hypnosis is a tool to control unconscious processes and thus mental states by yourself.

After you enjoyed positive trance experiences with my support, you can learn self-hypnosis very quickly. This helps you to progress self-determined. It accelerates the process, deepens, and consolidates what has been achieved in the therapy sessions. Your autonomy is thus fostered. A good therapist makes himself superfluous as soon as possible. Self-hypnosis is an excellent method of self-help that can be used beyond the actual issue.
