Yet another couple has come through my office...their marriage falling apart...over politics. This has actually become so common, I am not the first to write of it.

One might be inclined to say that politics was just a metaphor for the real problem in this marriage but that would deny that we are living in very highly charged times politically, economically and emotionally.

Friends, families, the fabric of our community seems to be dividing into polar opposites; civility and rational discussions jettisoned as values collide in households and communities across the nation.

For we students of the ART of INFLUENCE, there is a lot to study about our country’s current state. Fear is a powerful motivator, but in activating the fight or flight response, it results in more irrational thinking and greater openness to suggestion.

Just want to encourage you all to VOTE.

To VOTE INFORMED, and not “Influenced”.

To VOTE WITH the COURAGE of your convictions, and not your fears.

I found the League of Women Voter’s to have been helpful: https://vote.lwvspa.org

It’s “BOO” time again! Are you the person that will be seeking the adrenaline rush of haunted houses this time of year? Or are you the person that lives with enough anxiety, worry and fear to last you all year long?

In truth- WE ALL HAVE FEARS; “Fear is not the enemy”. The question is to what degree do they dictate the experiences of our lives. We are going to discuss the origins of fear and anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. We will explore several techniques for reducing fear responses and participants are encouraged to share their own with the group! Our trance for the evening will offer generalized suggestions for reducing general anxiety.

Benjamin Franklin, said in a 1789 letter that “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” These days, it seems death and taxes, and even the constitution itself are all subject to change.

In fact, CHANGE is really one of the few things that IS CERTAIN. A function of entropy...Whether it comes to find you, or you go out to seek it, change is going to happen. The CERTAIN problem with CHANGE of course, is that it creates UNCERTAINTY and UNCERTAINTY CREATES STRESS.

Join us for a discussion about managing and growing through times of change. Our trance for the evening will focus on releasing outdated beliefs  about “change” and sowing a few more resourceful seeds along the way.

You can register for this free community workshop at our Facebookor directly through Meet Up.

One of the most striking experiences I have ever had with my deep unconscious mind involved fear so powerful I was rendered immobile.

Having just had a really scary experience during a diving certification class, I was looking directly into the eyes of my diving instructor.  Recovering from the immediate, near drowning fright-the instructor had pulled me over into the shallow water. We floated face to face, our elbows firmly planted on the lake bottom, our heads sticking above the waterline. My hands clutched the sides of my diving mask in preparation to do the thing I had just failed so miserably. ..removing my mask under water. It had been my greatest fear all along and now I had directly experienced it.

My conscious mind, and my instructor, there in the shallow water, said... “You are safe, take off the mask now”. But I could not do it, yet.

BECAUSE FEAR CAN PARALYZE YOU.

I could not make my hands take the mask off. Tears of frustration and fear streamed down my face. The deepest parts of my mind were locked around the fear and refused to cooperate with what I wanted to do. Now that is a scary feeling, scarier than the fear of drowning itself!

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE PARALYZED BY FEAR FOREVER.

Eventually, I did in fact overcome the experience and have enjoyed diving ever since. It is a wonderfully freeing experience to face, and overcome your fear.

We are going to discuss FEAR Reduction with Hypnosis at our FREE OCTOBER MEET UP. We have a FREE INTRODUCTION TO HYPNOSIS MEET UP in October too.

Big Thank you to the Faculty and Students of St. Petersburg College’s Nursing School for letting me share information/experiences regarding the use of the Clinical and Medical hypnosis (September 23rd). Much fun!

For just a little while, the sonic landscape of our daily lives; the low grade cacophony of sounds, frequencies and rhythms, that our unconscious minds screen out of conscious awareness through habituation... went as dead as the power grid that feeds the noise.

It was an interesting silence. For me, gratitude pervaded the whole of it; we had survived Hurricane Irma and the quiet seemed comforting, especially given the fear that Irma had incited. Not all silences we experience are the same, and not all who experience such silences have reasons for gratitude.

For us, the silence did not last long. Soon, all the generators and chainsaws came on-and there was a different kind of gratitude, they became the new background chatter in about 24 hours.

Most of us are living with a lot of “background chatter” in our own heads and hearts... inner voices full of self-limiting beliefs and self-defeating thoughts that have gone “unconscious” and “unquestioned” if only because they are there everyday. What if, one day, you woke up and all that “noise” was silent...? What WOULD you hear instead?

Of course, you do not have to wait for a personal “storm” to find an inner silence...we can help you create it from within.

FEAR is at the epicenter of this “chatter” for many of us and our FREE October Hypnosis Meet-Up is all about quieting our fear."FEAR Reduction with Hypnosis", October 12th, 7-8:30pm. October’s Trance of the Month from our affiliate is on ENDING the HABIT of FEAR and Anxiety.

Halloween Candy, Thanksgiving and Christmas-Oh my! The "Season of Eating" is about to begin but you do not have to feel out of control, guilty or anything other than joyful. In November, we offer our ever popular "Weight Management through the Holidays with Hypnosis" as the FREE November Meet Up November 9th, 7-8:30pm and a FREE Introduction to Hypnosis Class.

Overcome Fear and Anxiety

“Hypnosis can break the fear habit for good. Overcome Fear and Anxiety is a powerful audio hypnosis session that will unlock that cage and free you to live your life with confidence and optimism once more.”

Disbelief.

It’s just not fair.

This is/they are “wrong”.

Recess privileges have been revoked for all of us, because a few kids can not, or will not…

Behave cooperatively.

It does not matter what side of the room you are on, the view is the same.

Overwhelm, powerlessness, fear and frustration.

America 2020. And anger is erupting across the nation.

Keeping us divided.

Now, ANGER is NOT A BAD EMOTION.

It is a message of threat perceived, of a boundary crossed.

It gives us the energy to respond to the threat.

It’s what we do with that energy that defines us.

Being the change you want to see in the world means you have to harness that energy, and direct it towards what you CAN do.

We encourage assertiveness over aggression.

To encourage effective channeling of the anxiety, frustration and anger so many of us are experiencing right now, our FREE monthly Meet Up is “Anger Management: Hypnosis and Life Mastery”. https://www.meetup.com/TampaBayHypnotherapy-Community-Group/events/271623426/?isFirstPublish=true

We will be sharing a hypnotic meditation from our affiliate “Keep a Cool Head”, a foundational piece from our affiliates’ “10 Steps to Absolute Assertiveness”.

“Absolute Assertiveness” is 50% off during the pandemic, making it extremely affordable-cheaper than a live session! With hypnosis titles like “Setting Boundaries”, “Saying “No””, “Overcoming Feelings of Inferiority” “Overcome Fear of Conflict” and more. https://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/10-steps/assertiveness

We are going into the 15th week of our FREE COVID19 Support Group, on-line every Thursday from 9:30-11am. This is an open, “drop-in” group for anyone who just wants to connect and participate in some hypnotic meditations to help manage their experience during this unprecedented event in our history.

As a FREE gift (not even an email address required!); here is a link to a FEAR REDUCTION hypnotic meditation from a recent Support Group Session. Hope it helps you have a better day. https://www.tampabayhypnotherapy.com/audiofiles/ATrancetoEnhance/FearReduction.m4a

Please remember, We have more in common than what divides us. You matter and you can change the world for the better, it’s starts with you.
