Intuition & Self-Trust

“I was struggling with getting in touch with my emotions and follow by intuition. I live in my head most of the time, and when strong emotions show up, I would get overwhelmed by them, and have a hard time figuring out if I should act on those emotions or just let them go by. I was hoping that hypnotherapy might help me follow my heart, and put more stake in my emotions without allowing them to "take over" my life. But, I also didn't want to only follow my head...rational thought is helpful, but we also need to consider what our gut is telling us.

I felt like I was always fighting an internal battle between what I "felt was the right thing to do in my heart" vs "what was the rational things to do". Since I was a kid, I was taught to make decisions based on rational thought, so I surpassed the value of my emotions, and ended up losing touch with them. My life was full when seen from the outside, but on the inside I struggled much of the time.

I found hypnotherapy to be a gentle but powerful way of really digging deep inside myself to learn more about why I struggled with this issues. Farzin took the time to really find out what I was struggling with through multiple conversations, and guided questions. He then constructed hypnosis scripts based on what I shared, but added the hypnotherapy twist and subtle elements. He guided me through these sessions through deep relaxation. It felt more like deep meditation, not what I expected, but more effective. I didn't feel like I was "under a spell", I always felt alert but deeply relaxed and because Farzin used my own words combined with his expertise, the sessions felt very comforting and familiar.

I feel like this process kick-started me towards healing this separation I have felt for a long time. It's a process...like anything else, it takes time to rewire the brain patterns. But Farzin not only lead the sessions, he also gave me "homework" and checked up on me regularly to see how I was doing and if I was practicing the hypnosis recordings and the affirmations that he and I created together to reinforce the hypnotherapy sessions.

    The transformation is still in progress. I have felt more connected to my heart, to my intuition, and to my emotions. I feel less overwhelmed by them when they are strong, but also more able to "listen" to my feelings than I had before.

I think I have begun to heal old patterns that had been established when I was young, and got reinforced over the years, until I didn't even realize the effect it was having on my life, until I had some crisis happen...and then, I was forced to look at these things, and the hypnotherapy helped me move through these issues.

I feel more connected to myself. I feel more "whole" as a person. I feel like I have more connection to my intuition, that I trust myself more than I did before, and I depend less on external influences. which I had relied on way too much in the past. I feel stronger and more able to take charge of my life.

I see that I can be who I am, without making excuses. I see that I can follow my heart, even if it's not telling me the rational thing to do.

I would highly recommend hypnotherapy, and especially working with Farzin. I think hypnotherapy can get to the deep root of the issues, and working with such a dedicated and compassionate practitioner like Farzin made the process even more effective.

I wasn't sure how this would go, in the beginning. I didn't read too much about it, I just jumped in and trusted the process...and felt that even if I didn't get results, it would be an interesting experience! I was most surprised about the hypnotherapy sessions themselves. i expected that I might not remember things that happened during the session, or that I wouldn't be able to be hypnotized...but as it turns out, it's just another way to enter a deep meditative space and it was very enjoyable and productive."
