The approach of the New Year marks the beginning of a time of reflection and departure for new lands for many. New Year's resolutions are made and visions of a healthier, more conscious life emerge. But often the initial enthusiasm evaporates and the set goals lose focus, says Günter Hagauer, social psychologist and professional hypnosis trainer on staff at the “VitaLogikum” therapy center in Aschach.
“At a time when mental health becomes more important, many people face the challenge of finding psychological support,” says Hagauer: In this spiral of self-improvement, the art of hypnosis could serve as an alternative.
“Loneliness is a ubiquitous phenomenon that not only affects the elderly, but is also increasingly present in younger generations”, says the hypnosis trainer, “the lack of social contacts and deeper interpersonal connections can affect not only the psychological but also physical health.” In times when the need for psychological support is increasing, many face the dilemma of a lack of psychologists and almost insurmountable waiting times. Hypnosis could build a bridge here. The individual causes of loneliness can be identified and worked on in sessions. The hypnotic state allows you to release deep emotional blocks and establish new thought patterns that promote positive social interaction.
There is also support when it comes to New Year's resolutions: internal blocks and resistance to change are overcome more easily. “Weight loss is a classic goal at the beginning of the year,” says Hagauer, “in hypnotic trance, the underlying causes of overeating or lack of exercise can be discovered and worked on.” The subconscious is being reprogrammed. Smoking cessation is also a common concern. By learning deep relaxation techniques, stress levels are permanently reduced. Strengthened mental resilience forms the foundation for pursuing New Year's resolutions with inner calm and determination.
