I want to tell you a story, I want to take you on a journey back in time, a five-year girl is about to start her first day of school. She was told by her mother she was going to have so much fun; she was going to paint, draw, learn lots of new things and make lots of new friends.
Her mother had bought her a new dress and shoes, it was indeed a very special day.
As she is walking to school bursting with excitement, she comes across another little girl a few years older, what she didn't know was this girl was a bully. She started calling the little girl names kicking her school case, the metal buckles cutting her legs, bleeding, crying, scared and confused the incident scarred her, it traumatised her and became imprinted within her subconscious mind. That poor little girl was bullied before she even got to school. School was not fun like her mother had told her, many negative unconscious beliefs were created that day and would stay with her a long time.

This little girl became a teenager, but the negative beliefs remained, learning was not fun, then it mutated into other beliefs, yes, your beliefs multiply, get stronger and mutate over time, she struggled through high school. How could she get rid of these beliefs, she didn't know they even existed!

As an adult she had always wanted to work in the healing industry, in her 20's she wanted to be a naturopath, it was an expensive course, and she didn't believe she was smart enough, so what was the point of trying. Many years later she tried again, she decided she wanted to be a Hypnotherapist.  She enrolled but there was a problem, she still had limiting beliefs about herself and that nagging voice in her head telling her she couldn't do it. She struggled in class, not understanding the work, she berated herself, you look foolish, you are stupid, you are not good enough. The things we say to ourselves, she wanted to run away and just give up.

Her teacher suggested she should heal the issue, to her surprise she learned the problem had started in childhood, she had forgotten the memory of the bully, but the memory was still there affecting her from deep within her subconscious mind, that day she didn't realise it, but it was the beginning of her own very personal and powerful healing journey. 

She became a sponge, learning and absorbing everything she put her mind too.

She became qualified in Hypnotherapy, EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, the No.1 technique used for anxiety worldwide, NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, changing our emotions, thinking and behavioral patterns, Psychosomatic Therapy, the connection between our emotions, stress and trauma and our physical health and wellbeing and Psychotherapy, passing with high distinctions.
She had found her purpose, her passion, to help others heal and turn their pain into power.

Did this woman take a smart pill, no, how did she get from I am stupid to high distinctions?
Did she get smart overnight, no, did she have a fairy god mother, no, well kind of, what changed?
The memories, emotional pain, the limiting beliefs about herself had been healed and released no longer affecting her. 

There is a saying, show me the boy at seven I will show you the man.
When we are children, we are in our formative years, we learn quicker at this age than any other time in our life, and whatever we learn, stays with us our whole life.
Scary thought isn't it; this is where we learn about ourselves, the people around us and the world we live in. 

All our memories are stored in the subconscious mind; and our reaction to these past events create our life experience, they affect how we feel, our relationships, our actions, our decisions, our motivation and confidence, our career, our level of happiness and our peace of mind. 

 

Every trauma, big or small once healed is filled with peace, wisdom and empowerment.

I want you to know there is another way, instead of enduring, heal,
instead of carrying around emotional baggage, release,
instead of surviving, thrive, transform your pain into power,
you can be free,
you can be happier,
you can be more successful 
and you can find some peace.

By the way, if you haven't guessed already, I was the little girl in this story. 

Welcome again to Begin a New Chapter Therapy.
