Gain Respect and Self Confidence with Assertiveness Training Hypnosis
Several times in our professional and personal relationships we get stressed while trying to communicate during difficult situations. Mostly, we get aggressive rather than being assertive in these situations. Being able to say “No” is another part of assertive communication that can really see you through a number of difficult situations. A lot of stress, drama and ill feelings can be avoided when you can convey your feelings in a more factual manner rather than passing judgments. With assertiveness training hypnosis you will learn how to communicate well, sticking to factual descriptions and reducing overall stress for everybody.
Mostly with lack of assertiveness, we end up losing our respect within relationships. It is common to lose our patience with co-workers or family members and shout at them or give them labels. With assertiveness training, you will learn how to approach people whose behaviors you’d like to see changed. And the best way of doing this is not to lose your patience and eventually respect; do not judge them or label their behaviors but stick to facts when communicating. Let us take a few real situations to understand what difference assertiveness can bring to our communication and lives.
Almost all of us know a friend or a colleague or a relative who is perpetually late for meetings or occasions. The worst you can do in this situation is to greet them with, “I have been waiting for an hour, and you are so rude and inconsiderate!” This judgment will only turn the listener against you as you are judging the person and not the behavior. With assertiveness training hypnosis, you will be able to keep your feelings in check and instead say something like, “we were supposed to meet up at 9:30, but now it is 10:30. We will have to cut short this meeting now.”
You have decided to meet your friend for lunch hour at the restaurant down the street. You have only one hour that you can spend out of work and you have already spent 20 minutes waiting for her. The moment you see her, you erupt like a volcano, “you have ruined my lunch! Why can’t you ever be on time?” It is very natural to exaggerate when we describe the effects of anybody’s behavior. You may think it was asked for, but you do not see any marked change in the behavior with this kind of outburst. With assertiveness you can simply describe the effect without any added baggage, “I need to be back at work within one hour so now I have less time to spend lunching with you.” This will definitely make her think how badly she behaved by coming late and make her try her best to be on time for your next date.
A great way of being assertive is to make “I” statements rather than “You” statements. When you are looking to change a behavior, a statement beginning with “you” automatically sounds accusatory. So, instead of, “You must stop this!” next time try it this way, “I would really appreciate if you could stop this.”
Assertiveness training through hypnosis helps your subconscious mind learn the art of direct, responsible and non-attacking communication that lets others know how their behavior affects you. Dealing with children and discipline issues can be quite a task especially if you and your partner think differently about it. When faced with a partner who constantly undermines your authority in front of the kids, yelling at him will be the least helpful tactic. It is also bound to increase your differences and I do not have to tell you what effect it has on the kids if the yelling and blaming match ensues in their presence. With assertiveness training through hypnosis, your mind will be trained to filter out the feelings and enable you to describe them in a more factual manner. This always ensures positive responses and behavioral changes. The next time your husband allows the kids to paint in their study hour, try putting it something like this: “Every time you tell the kids that they can do something that I have forbidden them to do, it takes away my authority as a parent and I have a feeling of being undermined.”
All your friends, family members and co-workers will be able to see the marked change in the way you communicate with them. With a firm but pleasant tone and assertiveness training, you can easily regain your lost confidence and respect. To be able to get the results you wanted from people and that too without being aggressive will give you a high in itself.
Another problem all of us face at work is being piled on with extra work. If a colleague asks us for a favor, we feel obliged to say yes; if a senior asks us for a favor, we feel pressurized to say yes. Either way, not knowing how to say no can be a reason for a lot of anxiety and frustration. Assertiveness training through hypnosis will help you say aloud the ‘no’ you have had in your head all along. In the deep relaxed state that your mind is in while listening to a hypnosis session, the subconscious mind lays open for changes. These changes are deep rooted unlike what you would gain by simply reading a self help book.
The sub conscious mind helps you with your everyday feelings and communication through a guided habitual path. In order to break that habit, it is important that all changes are made in that subconscious part of the mind. This is why even though most of us who are “too nice to say no” keep thinking about saying no for the next favor; when we open our mouth, we hear ourselves saying “yes”. A complete change of behavior and confidence is required to be able to assertively stand up to being taken advantage of. Assertiveness training through hypnosis is sure to change your life in more ways than can be explained here. But do not listen to me, go through a hypnosis session today and see yourself grow as a person.
