Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis - News and Articles >>

Many people that come to see me for hypnotherapy will mention control at some point in our sessions together. For some people it is a fear of not being in control (a phobia of flying often boils down to this), for others they need to stay in control of everything (no matter what) and others feel that they aren’t in control and want some help in getting some control back into their life.

I believe there is a really small lesson about control which can make a huge difference to each of our lives if we are willing to learn it.

There is very little in life that we, as individuals, can control. In fact, I believe there is only one thing that we can actually control – our own response to what is happening in that moment.

Ultimately, every other person on this planet will do what they want to do, how they want to do it. We have absolutely no control over them. Governments and institutions large and small have their own agendas and will do what they want. We have absolutely no control over them. Nature, God, The Universe (call it what you will) will carry on according to its own unique plan and we have absolutely no control over that.

All we can do is control our responses to what other people do or say, our responses to events around us, and our responses to Nature, God or The Universe.

Katie Byron teaches a simple question to help people begin to let go of this illusion of control. Whenever they are struggling with something she gets them to ask themselves – is that my business, their business or God’s business. And if it’s anything other than “my business” they begin to recognise that and let go.

Why not give it a go today – it can be really liberating. And if you don’t like your initial response – then you can even control how you choose to respond to that!
