What does Hypnotherapy have to do with Weddings?
I have owned my Hypnotherapy business (Hummingbird Hypnotherapy) now for 3 years and have over 20 years’ experience in counselling and supporting others to make changes to the way they feel.
I began thinking about weddings when a friend of mine told me a story about her wedding day and said that it was so stressful she had been glad at the end of the day when was over. I don’t need to be a therapist to know that this isn’t the desired outcome for a day when you are making a declaration of love and commitment.
What was it that had caused her so much stress?
Firstly she said she felt really uncomfortable in her dress. She had wanted to lose weight but hadn’t achieved her chosen goal and while the dress was beautiful and we all thought she looked incredible, she looked at herself in the mirror that morning and felt disappointed and the thought of walking out in front of everyone looking this way made her feel awful.
As she walked up the aisle her confidence was low and anxiety high and she said the vows were all a bit of a blur as she struggled with her feelings amongst feelings of joy to see her partner. It was overwhelming and she now feels like she missed out on that special moment, which she regrets.
The rest of the day had gone well, and while nothing had gone wrong, she was feeling so anxious that she found it hard to relax and for this feeling to go away. She was also thinking of the first dance and how yet again all eyes would be on her and her partner and she just wasn’t feeling up for that.
On the lead up to the wedding there had been lots of decisions to make about colours and flowers and seating plans and she is a really busy woman with a demanding job and it was hard to fit it all in. By the end of it she just couldn’t care less about the shade of sash on the chairs but actually she really did and had hoped the planning would have been more enjoyable.
Hearing her story made me feel incredible sad ! I am a romantic soul and while I know life doesn’t always go to plan, this day at least should be lovely !
This is when the idea struck me. Hypnotherapy can assist you to feel confident and stick to your health goals. It can eradicate stress and anxiety. It can assist you to manage your time, prioritise and manage difficult life situations. It can diminish fears and insecurities. It can help you to live in the moment and enjoy life without worry.
This is what Hypnotherapy has to do with weddings ! It’s a no brainer.
