Stop Gossiping Sample [3:10m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

We put together the new download Stop gossiping for hypnosisdownloads.com because gossiping is a real problem for many people. Gossiping, like any addiction, seems fun at first and in the short term. But gossip has long-lasting and long-term damaging effects not just on the person being gossiped about but also on the person doing the gossiping.

The buzz from gossiping

Gossiping about someone you don’t like can be a way of getting back at them without directly confronting them – although if it does get back to them you may have to confront them in a back-pedalling kind of a way.

When you know something about you get an instant rush of power. This is because:

 

 

 

 

 

 

But are these short term emotional highs worth it?

You might try spreading gossip in order to be seen as a fount of information, in the hope that people will like you. But the fact is that, on one level, while the people who welcome your gossipy titbits may find you good entertainment value, they are unlikely ever to really want you as a proper friend or confidante because they’ll always wonder what you might be saying about them.

Being mean with gossip is generous

A truly generous person will be sparing and mean when it comes to locking secrets away. They will generously withhold and protect secrets imparted to them. And they don’t have to have it spelled out to them that: ‘This is to be kept secret!’ So there is no: ‘Well, you didn’t tell me to keep that secret’ to be heard from them. They wisely assume that there are some things people just don’t want spread around.

Learning to keep a secret – even if it would be ‘a juicy bit of gossip’ – really develops you as a person. Keeping secrets and standing aside from gossip are good indicators of maturity, strength and integrity.

Gossiping and ‘Chinese whispers’

Gossip may seem harmless but it tends to get distorted and exaggerated as it goes from one person to another. It bullies and haunts the person who is being gossiped about and also judges them and ‘let he who is free of sin cast the first stone…’ (or something like that!)

Hypnosis to stop gossiping

I use hypnosis in this session to change the mindset of the intentionally or unintentionally cruel gossiper to one of a more mature, dignified, generous and ‘bigger picture’ person.

This is done partly through giving them a kind of sixth sense about the person being talked about and also by helping them develop a sense of truly becoming the guardians of what is entrusted to them. Gossiping may be on the increase in our celebrity obsessed times but on a personal day-to-day level I really hope this session helps people kick the harmful gossiping habit.

Mum’s the word.
