Recently I have had several posts on the unconscious and conscious mind, and how hypnosis acts as an opening for new ideas to be placed in your unconscious in order to affect your conscious mind. However, one of the reasons people see hypnosis experts is because of what occurs when your conscious mind is struggling with your unconscious.

An example of this is when you need to go to your boss and ask for a raise. Your conscious mind knows it is important, but your unconscious mind is telling you negative things and trying to get you to stop. What happens is that as these two systems battle, you start to experience a great deal of stress and anxiety – and the more they battle, the worse it gets. Dealing with struggles between your conscious and unconscious is one of the causes of persistent, chronic anxiety.

These battles can only be treated by altering your unconscious so that it provides less resistance to your consciousness – in other words, they can be treated using effective hypnosis or NLP techniques. If you are experiencing this type of chronic, persistent stress, look to hypnosis as a way to resolve the conflict between your conscious and unconscious mind.
