‘Changing Limiting Beliefs’, from Avon Hypnotherapy, is a wonderful technique that really could help you to change the way you think and feel about yourself, and your world.

What is the Changing Limiting Beliefs Course?

Changing Limiting Beliefs is a short training course, which usually takes 6 hours, and can help you to completely change the way you feel about yourself, about things that you do, and those things that happen around you.

You’ll learn how the astonishing power of the unconscious mind affects almost everything that you do in your day to day life.

If your unconscious mind has a tendency to feel ‘negative’ or ‘dismissive’ about something that you’re trying to do with your life, it can have a massive effect on your ability to achieve those things. It's like seeing yourself and your life through a huge, negative filter!

Take for example someone preparing to take their driving test…   if that person has a negative expectation of the outcome…  they expect they’re going to fail…  they imagine all the things that could go wrong…    they visualize those things going wrong…  they worry for days about the test, and how they’re going to tell their friends and family that they’ve failed again…     what do you think is likely to happen when that person gets to their test?

Over that time, they’ve come to accept their negative thinking, their unconscious mind will be able to see failure so strongly, and will prepare their mind, their body and their actions for that failure…   it’s highly likely that the person will fail their test.

The unconscious mind has an incredible ability to take what it expects to happen, and make it happen.

So someone with negative thoughts (limiting beliefs), is highly likely to keep finding that things go wrong for them.

What Does Changing Limiting Beliefs Course Do?

If your unconscious mind has a tendency to feel ‘positive’ about something that you’re trying to do with your life, it can have a massive positive effect on your ability to achieve those things.

To explain what the Changing Limiting Beliefs Course does, let’s think again about that person who’s taking their driving test, but this time, let’s assume that we’ve helped them to re-train their thinking into positive, rather than negative.

This time, the person has apositive expectation of the outcome…  they expect they’re going to pass the test…  they imagine the wonderful feeling of being able to show their examiner just how well they can drive…    they visualize those things going well…  they look forward to the test, and how they’re going to tell their friends and family that they’ve passed…     now this time, what do you think is likely to happen when that person gets to their test?

This time, it’s highly likely that the person will pass their test (and if they don’t, they won’t see it as a failure, they’ll see it as an opportunity to improve the parts that need a bit of work).

You can see how these same techniques could be applied to almost anything... making a speech at a wedding, making a presentation at work, getting over a fear of flying, overcoming depression... the list goes on.

What Can the Changing Limiting Beliefs Course Help With?

This training course can help you to overcome almost any issue that is caused by any kind of negative thought, or limiting belief that you might have.

• Depressed people are often depressed because they ‘believe’ they are locked in their depression, helping that person to see that they can overcome their depression can help them greatly
• People with ME/PVFS/CFS can be helped to understand that their condition doesn’t have to control every part of their life any more
• People who find it difficult to stop smoking often find it difficult, because they believe they’re addicted to smoking, and so it’s going to be hard – Changing this limiting belief can really help that person to stop smoking more easily
• Someone with a lack of self confidence, or low self esteem can be helped to see themselves, and the things that they do, in a completely new light
• Making presentations and speeches can be far easier
• Relationship issues can often revolve around negative thoughts, or limiting beliefs, and learning to resolve these can really help
• The Changing Limiting Beliefs Course can be applied to almost any situation that is effected by negative thoughts, or limiting beliefs.
