Miscarriage and Grief

Zita — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:34:43 +0000

You will never forget the pain of your miscarriage. I know because it happened to me – twice. I did go on to have three healthy, happy children but I still think about my little angels on the days I lost them and when their due dates would have been. But time is a great healer. Time is a great healer. When you are losing or have lost your baby, the way you are treated by hospital staff, friends, relatives becomes so clear – you think woman will be sympathetic but from dealing with (in my first experience) a midwife and doctor (both females) who (a) told me I was never pregnant (!), I lost my baby at 12 weeks and (b) I was imaging what I passed (when I said I had passed what to me looked like some kind of crustacean and had flushed away before thinking I should have kept that. These people may be dealing with miscarriage everyday, I was not. My baby (babies) was wished for and I saw my future, my family, wondering if the baby would be a boy or girl. All my dreams and hopes were dashed away. In the middle of this, I did deal with a very nice male doctor who was very gentle and sympathetic, no platitudes. You need time to grieve – to get angry, to cry yourself to sleep. You have suffered a loss and no-one can understand the way you feel. But let your partner be strong for you. Don’t think he doesn’t feel what you feel, it is different for men and let him do what he knows is best – taking care of you. Why am I writing this today – because this day 10 years ago I lost my first baby.

Infertility & Stress and How Hypnosis Can Help.

Zita — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:02:30 +0000

Under prolonged stress your progesterone levels are diminished and therefore, your chances of conceiving are reduced. For healthy menstrual functioning and for conception to occur progresterone and oestrogen needs to take it in turns to be in the lead. Internal and external stress will further reduce the progesterone allowing the oestrogen to be dominant. While hypnosis is a relaxation in itself, hypnotherapy aims to restore balance to the hormonal cycle within you to create a fertile body. Uncovering and learning better effective ways to deal with stress and uncovering any emotional blocks as well as dealing with any fears at a subconscious level, will allow the body to do its part in creating a fertile, reproductive you.

The lifecycle of panic attacks and how hypnosis helps.

Zita — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:12:24 +0000

There are five stages to a panic attack. Stage 1 is the threat/trigger/perceived threat. Stage 2 your heart rate increased and you begin to feel clammy and uncomfortable. Stage 3 your mind starts to focus on your symptoms and you begin to lose concentration on external events. Stage 4 is the catastrophic stage – “making a mountain out of a mole hill”, overgeneralising. Stage 5 is the full blown panic attack. What can you do to let hypnotic techniques help you? As you see each stage is a precursor for the next stage so when you can interrupt the development of the stages, the panic attack cannot occur. All the symptoms have physiological basis – this is a throw back to our automatic primal response. What you focus on you give power to it. With hypnosis (a relaxation) you are learning why you felt threatened in the first place. Obviously if you are under physical attack this response is necessary but if you find that panic comes over you when in the supermarket or in a meeting at work or even when out socially, then you need to learn how to regain control over what is happening inside you so that you can prevent the panic attack developing. Think of the life you want to have – constantly in fear of having a panic attack or being in control and being the best you can be. It is a choice. By accessing the subconscious mind (as you do with hypnosis) you gain full control which produces lasting effects. For appointments call 086 1038892. Dublin 2.

Anger: What Hypnosis Can Do.

Zita — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:39:09 +0000

Hypnosis induces a state of inner calm and wellbeing. When a heightened state of emotion like rage, we lose our ability to reason. How many times have noticed when angry that you ability to see things clearly is impaired, how all you can feel is the injustice to you. Learning how to use hypnosis gives you an undercurrent of relaxation in all situations. You can still feel anger but not to the explosive extent of before because you can recognise the signs and know that when you are calmer and more relaxed, you can think more clearly – being aware of other people’s body language and in fact, you will notice how solution focused you have become. Your ability to be more objective and therefore, rational is very pronounced. This can be evident after the first session, this sense of control over your anger. Initially it is about managing the anger and you and as you develop your skills, you find yourself developing into a more centred and calmer person. For appointments call 086 1038892. Dublin 2 and Limerick.

Anger Management: Gain Control With Hypnosis

Zita — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:59:32 +0000

Anger is a secondary emotion – by that I mean, to feel angry we must have felt threatened (physically, socially, educationally, mentally) first which gave rise to the anger feelings. In my sessions we take a look at why you are so quick to rise to anger so that you understand it is not the anger that is the problem, it is how you are feeling about yourself. An example would be if you feel somehow inadequate at work and yet are doing well, you may be running a fear that somehow you will be found out so that creates a stress. We can reprogramme this fear so it no longer becomes an issue for you. Perhaps you turn your anger inward, always pleasant on the outside but seething on the inside, you may make yourself more prone to depressive tendencies and your self esteem is lowered. But the good news is that once you figure out what your trigger is and by taking responsibility for your own control of your feelings and with hypnosis amazing things happen. You begin to think more clearly – why? Because your mind is not running the old programme of being “on guard” all the time. Hypnosis is a link to your subconscious mind where all your reactions (and how you learned how to respond) are stored and we can access this programme and make appropriate adjustments that are in your favour. The only thing you can change is your response to various triggers so that in the long run you are happier in yourself and by a domino effect, a pleasure to be around.

Miscarriage: Hypnosis to help you through the grieving process

Zita — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:44:24 +0000

No matter what stage of your pregnancy or how the loss comes about, you cannot underestimate the devastation you will feel. If you were unsure of your feelings about being pregnant, losing your baby will instil guilt feelings – did you somehow make it happen? If your baby was longed for, the feelings of loss followed by anger will make you feel as though you can never recover from such a loss. No-one will ever understand how you feel, even other women who have such a loss can feel your pain, no-one will suffer as you do. You feel betrayed by your body, you go over every little detail to blame yourself and you tend to such others out. Your loss is about the loss of the future you had planned, the image of your family you had envisioned. Don’t deny your pain, feel your emotions. While grieving, you may experience bouts that seem like depression, it is still part of the grieving process. You cannot underestimate the loss of your baby and remember two of you have suffered a loss. Many times the father has to be strong for you and his grief will be different to yours. But it does get better. If you feel your loss is somehow static and you feel yourself looping and staying more “down” then think about hypnosis. Hypnosis (a relaxation) can provide you with the ability to come out of the darkness (when you feel ready and just as an extra push). You know the loss of your baby (or babies) will be with you, it becomes part of you, but you can come through the other side. From my personal experience, after two miscarriages, I went on to have three healthy and happy children but I still remember the dates I lost my first babies and what their due dates would have been. It doesn’t matter how logical and well meaning others try to be – “it’s nature’s way” etc. You have lost your baby and grieving is no less important that if the child had already been born. But keep in mind that you don’t have suffer and be in pain forever. You may have other children or you may want to have a family then you need to get back to former self with joy and love to give and I can help you get there or be just someone who will not offer platitudes when you just want to cry and grieve and let all the emotions of anger, upset, fears out for your unborn baby.

Stopping Smoking – Deal with Fears using Hypnosis in Dublin, Limerick

Zita — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 01:42:15 +0000

If hypnosis is such a simple tool to help you stop smoking then why don’t more smokers avail of hypnosis to stop smoking? The truth is fear. Fear of not really wanting to stop, just going through the motions and then saying “well, I tried, it’s too hard”. Fear that perhaps you cannot be without cigarettes and this jesture is enough to stop your attempts to remain smokefree. Perhaps your fear has to do the pain you imagine you have to suffer. Fear that you will change for the worse by losing the crutch (cigarette) that you feel you need for confidence. Fear of failure in your attempts to stop smoking successfully. All fears are at a subconscious level and this is the beauty of hypnosis – it is the key to your subconscious mind and in this relaxed state called hypnosis, we can address your fears one by one and find solutions that are acceptable to your subconscious mind so that you really can be free from cigarettes.

Grief & Bereavement: Hypnotherapy to ease your pain

Zita — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 09:07:40 +0000

When we lose someone through death or the ending of a relationship, there is a period where we need to grieve. The grieving is for what is lost and your dreams and hopes being taken away from you. This is a natural journey and therapeutic in the long run. But if you find that you are stuck in the grieving cycle and are actually feeling worse rather than better, it could very well be an emotional reason for your inability to move on. Perhaps you didn’t get to say goodbye and feel robbed of that opportunity or have a loss of self because you couldn’t see the end coming and why the relationship had to end (a case how two people could feel so differently). Your mind is looping the grief reaction and with hypnotherapy you can learn to move on easily and gently by discovering what the subconscious hold was for you. Why you feel the need to continuing in your grief. Or if guilt is attached to your grief, this can be uncovered. You can never underestimate the power of guilt to keep you feeling miserable and in a dark place. Hypnotherapy is designed to work quickly and effectively – remember the conscious mind is not involved, it is the subconscious mind. Your hurt is subconscious and it makes sense that the only way to release you of your grief is by accessing the subconscious and uncovering why you need to continue grieving.

Unexplained Infertility: Release Emotional Blocks With Hypnosis

Zita — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 08:41:07 +0000

The dreaded words “unexplained infertility” can drive even the most sane of us to the edge. We can put a man on the moon but when it comes to women’s fertility, there are times when medicine is stumped and you are offered the umbrella term “unexplained infertility”. One of the things I have noticed with my clients is the jaded, loss of joy look. I have experienced difficulty in becoming pregnant and know that I was a shadow of my former self – no laughter, no joy, no hope. Well meaning terms of “pull yourself together”, “just relax, it will happen” only compound the feeling of despair. You feel inadequate as a woman, you feel inadequate as a wife. How can someone get knocked up on a one night stand and there you are, with lots of love to give and each month you are reminded of your barrenness. This is where hypnotherapy and hypnosis come into play. No doubt you have already experienced the relaxation element of acupuncture. Now imagine if you hold that feeling of being calm and relaxed and at the same time access your subconscious mind to uncover what emotional blocks are preventing you from becoming pregnant. What would it mean to you to get back to the self that was fun, without the cloud of I want to be pregnant over you, that you could enjoy sex with your partner with wondering if it is the right time of the month. To just stop being clinical. This is what hypnotherapy can offer you. An insight to what is blocking you, what subconscious fears you have and how to ease this dis-ease inside your mind. You cannot underestimate the mind-body connection. If you are not completely at ease both mentally and physically, the mind will manifest problems physically as a way for you to address the mind problem. When you gain inner peace of mind, you gain an inner peace to your body. I cannot promise you a baby – that would be unethical but what I can promise is a return to your old self and a return to a relationship that is strong. Your happiness cannot depend on the future – we do not know what the future holds but I can help bring joy and happiness into your life.
