When I first set up as a hypnotherapist, I was amazed at the number of other people out there in the world who are also doing (or trying to do) the same as me. That is, being successful in a pretty competitive field. I guess the good news is that there are enough people out there creating problems that they are always going to require people like me to help them solve them.
The other thing that astounded me, is the types of problems that people create for themselves. Phobias about hair falling out- when it isnt, worries about using a specific word or fears about spelling are all but a few of the weird and wonderful ailments from which people suffer themselves.
So what do you do? Youre a newly qualified hypnotherapist (or perhaps youve been qualified for years, a master in your field!) and somebody turns u in your office, claiming to have a problem with the shape of their nose, or a fear of the wind..What do you do? They didnt tell you about this crazy stuff when you were training!
You do what I did. You go on the internet and hope and pray that someone else has had a problem like this and can give you some idea about how the heck your going to help them...
