You would be surprised at how the application of the 3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt can have far-reaching positive impact on the bottom line in relationships, money, business and overall well-being. You might assume that guilt feelings only impact how you feel emotionally about self or a circumstance. In actuality, conscious or unconscious guilt is like a weight that pulls down the buoyancy of your capacity to thrive in all areas of living and in the most insidious ways.
Guilt undermines confidence, self-esteem, worthiness, and the ability to focus and follow through on goals and desires. And unfortunately guilt can cause guilt about the things the guilt impedes! Whew! “What’s a mother to do?!” (That’s a lament from a TV commercial that aired in the 60’s)
What the 3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt facilitates is a profound reconciliation that releases the subjective guilt point-of-reference within one’s self. It can be readily assumed that making amends for transgressions one feels guilt about would alleviate or eradicate the guilt feelings. But as many people have come to discover, that while making amends is a laudable engagement, it does not necessarily relieve the remorse and regret that the feelings of guilt foment.
Behind all points of reference about something is a perception. Perception is the glue that holds a person to a particular vantage point about a thing, an incident, and omission or an act. The 3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt reconciles – and thereby release – the perceptions that hold guilt feelings in play.
As the perception that holds guilt in place is reconciled and released, the guilt feelings, emotions, thoughts and toxic consequences dissolve from lack of a sustaining perception. It is that simple, yet that emancipating! The 3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt enables you to withdraw from the static perception holding guilt in place.
I will illustrate a case study to demonstrate the impact that the release of guilt can have in one’s life and then reveal the 3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt.
In working with a particular client in myhypnotherapy practice, releasing guilt became the crucial dynamic of therapeutic focus. This client had no viable source of income with his E-bay store sales long dormant. We began some guilt release conscious session work and subconscious hypnosis treatment applications and suddenly during the course of the following week there was a “spontaneous” sale from his previously long-dormant E-bay store! He returned to my office the following week and we continued some conscious and subconscious work and sales over the next week doubled! He followed up the next week with another session where we neutralized some deeply lodged subconscious dynamics he did not even know were suppressed let alone think they were even connected to his experience of lack. In that particular session we also set a weekly goal he desired to achieve in store sales …. the following week he unexpectedly hit the weekly goal in sales!
As the 3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt are considered, keep in mind that a static perception is what holds guilt in play and these insights release the perceptions that undermine.
3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt – Power Release #1:
Understand the Nature of Reaction
Guilt over decisions, actions or inaction largely stems from viewing the guilt-triggering behavior reflectively rather than from the actual context in which the behavior occurred. Most regrettable behavior occurs as re-action rather than from considered action.
By definition, reaction means one is responding to an action – keep in mind the triggering “action” can be emotional or psychological stimuli as often as it can be a reaction to an exterior occurrence. A person can express regrettable behavior as a reactive impulse to their own inner issues and not just visibly triggered phenomenon.
Our minds are often littered with land mines from our experiences, traumas and conditioning. And even the seemingly most benign events, words or occasions can consciously or unconsciously trip one of the mental land mines causing a re-action that in hindsight, sans the triggering stimuli, would not result in regrettable behavior.
If hindsight is 20/20, well it is also myopic.
The sober vantage point illustrated here does not condone or excuse regrettable behavior but instead provides the proper perspective from which regrettable behavior originates. This is the crucial element missing from skewed, isolated perspectives that sustain guilt. The guilt stems from recognizing regrettable behavior without recognizing the context of its origin.
This “whole account” perspective replaces the singular perspective of only regarding the behavior itself and not the context of its reflex origin, cementing regret – otherwise known as guilt – in place. If you (or the perpetrator of the offense) were behaving from a place of action rather than re-action more than likely different choices would be made.
This understanding compassion enables you to learn and grow from past regrets rather than be stained and compromised by them. Regrettable behavior, thoughts or expressions then become opportunities to recognize what internal mis-alignments need to be reconciled so that triggers no longer trigger unresolved suppressed issues – the root of all regrettable behavior.
3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt – Power Guilt Release #2 – Releasing the Habit of Guilt
For many, guilt has become a way of behavior modification – a way to coral one’s self into discipline or perceived “correct action” – by virtue of using guilt to motivate “correct” behavior or actions. (“I go the gym because I feel guilty if I do not “I try to eat right because I feel guilty if I do, not “I try to follow through on things because I feel guilty if I do not While this may be viewed as a useful use of guilt, this type of motivation to do “the right thing” has a high price. The cost is usually fret, worry, self-judgment and self-blame.
Although one may achieve a modicum of self-correction through guilt, the mental and emotional weight from the fret, worry and self-judgment incurred takes a considerable toil on well-being and self-esteem. The guilt cure is often worse than the transgression it is supposedly correcting. (I am reminded of pharmaceutical medication TV advertisements where the litany of side-effects makes you wonder if the medication is really worth it!)
If there is one thing I have learned in my years as a practitioner of therapeutic hypnosis is that a “wired” habit can be re-wired just as readily as it has been wired. The habit of using guilt to coerce behavioral change could have been inherited (“My mother had a way of making you feel terrible guilt about anything she perceived you did wrong”). Or perhaps the measured success from guilty feelings motivating a degree of correct behavior can communicate to the psyche the, “some progress is better than none” mentality.
However the habit of using guilt to correct has been established, it can be mentally replaced with a wholly beneficial correcting motivation. And that motivation is love. Now before assuming I am getting all sentimental and mushy on you consider this: The most creative, life-altering, beautiful occurrences have been born of motivating love.
Great works of art are motivated by an artist’s love of artistic self-expression. Architectural structures that stand the test of time have been rendered by the architect’s love of design and composition. Great music originates from the love of expression through that medium. Children have been created through the expression of love! By far, love is no mere Hallmark Card sentiment!
With love as mere sentimentality dispelled, imagine how the replacement of the energy of guilt – with all its toxic side-effects – with the energy (the intent) of love can transform a guilt-created, brittle constitution into an agile, pliable, durable, ever-deepening constitution of well-being. It is psychological and emotional restoration of the first order!
This is done simply, yet profoundly, by replacing guilt self-correcting motivations with self-loving motivations. Instead of guilt-ting yourself to the gym, begin earnestly contemplating how a more efficient, strong and flexible body empowers your quality of life. (Rather than focusing on the negative consequences of inaction)
Instead of guilt and remorse over how inappropriate actions caused damage to a relationship, sincerely engage understanding and arresting what unresolved embedded issue(s) triggered detrimental behavior so that a past “mis-take” becomes a growth opportunity rather than condensations of guilt and regret.
This exchange of the guilt motivation for the love motivation empowers rather than deteriorates well-being which is the essential composition of your true nature.
3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt – Power Guilt Release #3 – Catch, Release, Replace
This is perhaps the most valuable hypnosis insight for releasing guilt. The principle of this insight is a cornerstone of my therapeutic hypnosis work; it is the means by which transformation is facilitated on a physiological level of being. It is the therapeutic “secret weapon” of which, if more therapists were consciously aware of, would be employed to tremendous impact in the efficacy of all therapeutic strategies.
Physiologically speaking, the brain secrets or releases a chemical counterpart to all emotions experienced. This is most conventionally recognized in the advent of the brain releasing adrenaline when sudden excitement or crisis is being faced. In actuality, every emotion experienced releases a chemical counterpart – including the feelings of remorse and guilt.
As the body receives and absorbs this chemical cocktail mix of remorse and guilt it acclimates and becomes accustom to a regular diet of this chemical release (as with the chemical release from anger, resentment, envy, self-pity, depression as well as the chemical release from joy, inspiration, laughter, and kindness!)
This is the unconscious reason why an individual can find it difficult to let go of guilt about a circumstance, self, or life; the body desires its accustomed fix derived from the release of the chemicals elicited from maintaining the guilty reference!
Power Guilt Release #3: Catch, Release, Replace becomes the process by which the body is weaned off toxic chemical releases to acclimate to nourishing chemical releases that fortify well-being. The consequence of the re-acclimation process is that the body organically begins to increasingly trigger from the brain positive outlooks and thoughts because it now desires the chemical release from those emissions! It is important to note that the body itself is neutral; it will as readily acclimate to chemical releases of joy, happiness, and well-being as it has acclimated to the unconscious release of toxic emotional negative chemical releases.
With that understood and having made whatever reasonable amends for the alleged transgression (whether the amend was accepted or not if it involved another party), as you notice guilt being triggered by a thought, a memory, a conversation, a song or whatever the trigger is, consciously catch the feeling of guilt or remorse as it occurs, take a deep releasing breath, and replace the feeling with a thought or mental image of a joyous or positive experience.
The positive experience or mental image does not have to relate to the matter to which the guilt pertained at all. The point is to contemplate any positive experience triggering the brain to emit positive natural chemicals into the blood stream, facilitating the acclimation process to organically craving well-being.
As unorthodox as this process may appear, it is the key to releasing the stubborn guilt that has been habituated. Engage this process over and over again knowing and you will begin to notice you need to do so less, and less as each time you replace the guilt feeling with considerations of joyful experiences, you are administering to your physiology chemicals of well-being.
Note that you are not simply thinking a positive thought to “feel better” about guilt but rather, you are intentionally releasing well-being chemicals into your system with each application. (This understanding avoids guilt feelings about releasing the guilt!)
The 3 Powerful Valuable Hypnosis Insights to Release Guilt provide a therapeutic strategy that if honestly applied become more than temporary distraction from the guilt woes. The strategy enables you to become your own salvation from the mental and emotional cauldron that constricts well-being.
You are not what has happened to you; you are the means of transcending it.
