Why changing your view of failure can change your life

22 May 2024

We have such a weird relationship with failure in this country, we’re terrified of it.

Our young people have instilled in them a complete fear of failing because of all the testing that goes on and it carries on through life.

Some of the most successful people have failed and failed spectacularly.

Edison the inventor of the lightbulb famously said “I have not failed. I’ve found 10,000 ways that won’t work”.

Embrace Failure

Oprah Winfrey was sacked from an reporter job that she had because she got “too emotionally invested” in the stories.

Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.

Vera Wang had dreams of being an olympic figure skater but didn’t quite make it, so she persued a career in fashion instead.

Dyson took 15 years and 5127 prototypes to develop his revolutionary vacuum cleaner.

Maybe it’s time we embraced failure for the learning process that it is.

Oprah said “there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life moving us in another direction.”

Common Therapies

I’m often asked what can hypnotherapy be used to treat and it’s such a difficult question to answer because the answer is just about anything where the subconscious is involved. Sometimes whatever that is doesn’t have an obvious connection to the subconscious so if you’re wondering if hypnotherapy can help you, the answer is most likely yes!

Anxiety and depression

My partner suffers from anxiety and depression. He started having panic attacks and had to take sick leave from work. The doctor prescribed tablets which only seemed to half help.

He couldn’t deal with the day to day stress the life throws at us. He tried counselling but it did not help.

A friend of mine suggested hypnotherapy as it had helped them with anxiety and stress.

I found Helen on Facebook and sent her a message asking if she could help with my partner. She replied almost straight away and suggested that we book in for a no obligation consultation.

We visited Helen and she made both my partner and myself feel very relaxed. She explained the treatment and told us to go away and think about it and then contact her with my partner’s decision regarding treatment.

My partner said he didn’t need to think about it and then booked a block treatment there and then.

He had 4 sessions with Helen and I can’t thank her enough for what she has achieved.

He has his confidence back and can deal with stressful situations.

If anyone is reading this wondering if Helen can help them, then all I can say is give her a try. She is a very patient and caring lady and will explain everything in full to you before treatment commences.

Thank you Helen.
