RELEASING LIMITING BELIEFS
Examples:

My first experience with hypnosis led me to a surprising outcome.  It was my hope that hypnosis could help me with an annoying habit called bruxism (tooth-grinding) that I had developed about two years earlier. I had tried many things and hypnosis was my last resort. Never having been an anxious person, I hated having to deal with this annoying expression of anxiety.

My first hypnosis session was centered on suggestions related to relaxing my jaws. I was very amused and delighted that I could actually be hypnotized and found the experience fascinating and intriguing. It didn't cure my bruxism, but I felt its hold on me loosened. Following my second session, however, I went home and found that things had changed and I had stopped bruxing. That was the first night in a long time that I slept without my night-guard. I was amazed that hypnosis could actually help… Next week, I returned to what I expected to be my final session and told about the exciting development. It was suggested we do another hypnosis session -this time to try to get to the root of the problem. I was brought into my past and I found myself in the storage room of the apartment building I had lived in when I was a child. I found it really weird to be back there - it was a place of no importance to me. It led me then to the basement in my grandmother's house (a place I had never been) and that led to the spiral staircase leading to my grandmother's attic - and the scene of the time my sister, Zoe, 6 years older than me, had pushed me down the stairs causing me to break my arm. I found this profoundly moving and strange and was crying quite a bit in my trance state. The rest of that hypnosis session and the next, the following week, focused on my relationship with Zoe - another surprise as I thought she played a minor role in my life.

In my family, Zoe was always the bad kid and I was always the good kid, and those labels remain to this day. She was always "difficult", and has had a hard time as an adult being able to work with people or remain in relationships. I have spent a large part of my life avoiding her and have found her rare visits to our elderly mother who lives near me a real trial. Through the hypnosis, I came to experience what it must have been like to be Zoe and have a high achiever like me as a sister. In the trance, I was instructed to go into Zoe's mind and experience her feelings towards me. I realized that she couldn't be too nice to me. Every one seemed to favor me and if she was nice to me too, then she would be confirming my role as good and hers as bad. I felt her tenderness towards me and her ambivalence.

I realized that Zoe and I were two sides of the same coin. Although we are six years apart, our names sound the same, and that adds to the oneness of us. I found I had some things to learn from her bluntness and started talking to my daughters about us all taking a page from Zoe's book and learning to be bold! I was most surprised by this development and found an empathy for her that I have never experienced in my life. It was no longer an effort to sound enthusiastic when she would telephone and I even looked forward to her visit.

All this was most unexpected, particularly since I had started hypnosis due to bruxism and ended up with a new appreciation of my sister - one that years of conventional therapy had not achieved.
