Give guilt the heave-ho, with hypnosis.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

You know, “Dear Abby” died.\u00a0 And that’s a sad thing.\u00a0 I grew up reading her advice column, and it was always pretty sound common sense type answers for all of life’s dilemmas.\u00a0 I loved Dear Abby.\u00a0 Her daughter has now taken over the pen name, and is writing that same advice column.\u00a0 However, she is NO Dear Abby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I was reading the column today, and her advice was wayyyyy off the mark.\u00a0 Bad advice.\u00a0 Stupid advice.<\/p>\n

She was promoting GUILT.\u00a0 A woman wrote in about her massive guilt over past relationship mistakes, and the answer was: “You appear to be carrying a large burden of guilt. And that’s a good thing.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In polite parlance, I beg to differ.\u00a0 What really went through my mind in reading that answer:\u00a0 “Puritanical bullshit nonsense!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

I help clients release guilt all the time. It’s one of those corrosive, self destructive emotions that doesn’t need to hang on for years, decades, life times. We let that go.\u00a0 We grab onto the learning and wisdom from the past experiences (so we don’t repeat the mistakes), and move on in a new direction with new better feelings and concomitant new better choices and behaviors.<\/p>\n

As my teacher, Dr. Richard Bandler, says:\u00a0 “Good feelings, good decisions.\u00a0 Bad feelings, bad decisions.”\u00a0<\/strong> Right on, Richard!\u00a0 I agree wholeheartedly!<\/p>\n

Holding guilt would lead to more guilt-inducing behaviors.\u00a0 Bad, bad advice, Dear Abby 2nd generation.\u00a0 I miss your mom and her common sense.<\/p>\n

Another wisdom I’ve learned from my many teachers:\u00a0 “What you focus on expands.”\u00a0<\/strong> When you focus your mind backwards and wrap yourself tighter and tighter into mistakes and the\u00a0negative emotions there, that does not create positive change.\u00a0 That creates more mistakes and more negative emotion.\u00a0 When you focus somewhere else, you get something else.\u00a0 That’s what hypnosis helps with:\u00a0 a new focus.\u00a0 And new feelings.\u00a0 And new choices that lead to happy and successful and healthy.<\/p>\n
