Hypnosis consultations for Anger Management

Hypnosis is a very interesting tool to better manage one's emotions, and especially anger. In fact, few clients come directly to specifically address their anger. One might wonder why angry people don't necessarily come for counseling. On the other hand, many clients come for sleep disorders, anxiety disorders, and during the hypnosis session, emotions arise, such as anger. That is to say that the state of hypnosis, used for another issue, leads the person to take a step back on themselves, on their life, to make connections between their discomfort and present or past situations. Here are some typical cases of anger: - Families where the nice girl or boy has suffered frustrations, humiliations, or has made efforts, for years, to smooth out the edges in family conflicts, forgetting herself or himself in the process.

- Work environments where, I do my job well without complaining, while even helping others, then get my ideas stolen; or I am used as a prop by a colleague or a more ambitious boss. - A separation where I realize that I have been very good to someone who has taken advantage of me... - The cases are multiple and quite frequent. Oh, no doubt that this anger would have come out at another time and with someone else. But the opening that the state of hypnosis provides certainly facilitates this. I say “facilitates” because for me, it’s a good thing that emotions arise, especially anger, which is a warning signal in the face of aggressions, disrespect, injustice or to reveal my frustrations. So now that this anger is there, how can hypnosis help deal with it?

There are several advantages in hypnosis for managing emotions: First of all, it’s a gentle technique, where we work with symbols, stories and metaphors. And, in most cases, it’s enough. Because under hypnosis, our brain remarkably understands the 2nd or 3rd degree, as well as the messages in the stories. So there's no need to go and rehash the past. Sometimes I don't even really know why the client is angry. But the work gets done and the client feels relieved. In hypnosis, we can also help our clients dissociate themselves from their emotions, as if they were watching themselves in a movie, or as if they were watching their anger from the outside, by transforming it into an object. Here again, we avoid going back into the past, or into too much stress.

For instance, there is a classic technique where the client visualizes his problem as a rock in the middle of his path, and he will choose how he wants to get rid of it. You may be skeptical: how can mentally destroying a rock help to solve a problem? Well, our mind is probably much more intelligent than we think. In any case, what’s fascinating is that the person often comes out feeling lighter and calmer. Sometimes, when something works, you just have to accept that you don't need to understand everything... So getting back to anger. For people who have denied or repressed their anger for years, especially, and even more so if for them being angry is "wrong", feeling anger rising up can be disturbing.

These people run the risk of screwing the lid back on the pressure cooker for another round, which can mean having an even bigger problem to deal with a few months or years later. Hence the interest of hypnosis, where the person can work at their own pace, in a way that’s best for them. The pressure cooker is actually a very interesting symbol for anger: What’s the intensity of the heat underneath? What’s the size of the cooker, the thickness of the walls... This is typically the kind of image we can work with, and under hypnosis, our minds understand metaphors very, very well. Hypnosis is still often misunderstood, or limited to entertainment or smoking cessation. But in fact, it’s useful in many areas.
