Full hypnosis download I’m OK You’re OK

Our new hypnosisdownloads.com session ‘I’m OK You’re OK’ is based, in part, on the best selling book of that name by Thomas A Harris, that first brought the theories of Transactional Analysis (TA) to the attention of the general public. For the purposes of the download, we focus on times in which you feel perhaps like a disempowered kid around certain people, or perhaps you catch yourself feeling unduly irritated and judgmental at other times.

According to the theory of Transactional Analysis, or TA, these examples of feeling needy and appeasing, or very critical and judgmental, are patterns we pick up in childhood. As children, we absorb an enormous amount of data about ourselves and the world and where we ‘fit’ from our parents and from our own emotional responses. As we grow up and develop our ‘adult’ self, we continue to carry the past with us, in the form of an inner ‘parent’ self, and an inner ‘child’ self (not to be confused with the ‘inner child’ that we are often encouraged to indulge).

Sometimes, you feel less than other people – they’re okay, but you’re not. Or sometimes you feel very down on someone – you’re okay, but they’re not. Once we break free of these ‘automatic’ conditioned patterns we start to live more freely and more fully.

When we are stressed, we can regress to feeling childlike and helpless (‘child’ self) or dictatorial and pompous (‘parent’ self).

This new hypnosis download emphasizes that there is nothing wrong in sometimes being ‘childlike’, full of wonder and enjoying a giggle, and there is nothing inherently wrong with being quite ‘parental’ sometimes towards others, guiding and offering direction when they can’t find it for themselves. But it’s important that we can – most of the time – be master of the option, and not just slaves of our conditioned responses.

In other words, rather than behaving like an automaton, following our scripted roles, we can behave like an adult, responding intelligently and appropriately in the here and now.

All the best
