Case Study - Confidence Client
Case Study - Confidence Client
A 36 year old woman who wanted help to reduce her self consciousness. During our first session she explained that she experienced feelings of anxiousness which especially affected her at work when she had to speak to others, at meetings or when a person in a position of authority (her boss) would ask her something.
She would experience intrusive thoughts that were highly critical of her saying things like "they are going to think I'm stupid", "why didn't I know the answer to that". These thoughts lead to sickly feeling in her stomach, increased heart rate which rises up in her chest, increased heart rate and face getting red hot.
After mapping out the context, process and structure of how she did "self consciousness" breaking it down into behaviours which we then could use techniques to manage them.
We worked to explore what her life would be like if she didn't have this trouble any longer. She wanted to be happier in her self, more relaxed in her interactions with others and feel more confident.
After identifying her evidence for change (the how she would know she's changed by the difference in the way she acts, feels and thinks) hypnosis was used to prime her mind for the expectation of change. This process filled the whole 90 minutes we had so we arranged another session for the following week.
The next session the client reported feeling less anxious, clamer when talking with others and was really pleased with the results. We discussed all the differences and then worked to solidify the change in her mind using another treatment.
After the treatment the client reported that she felt no fear and very confident.
