This session Stop feeling paranoid for hypnosisdownloads.com is designed for what you might call ‘everyday paranoia’ rather than the psychiatric use of the word which can relate to psychotic illness. We can all feel a little paranoid at times and of course feeling paranoid is awful. Unnecessarily suspecting other people of exploiting and undermining or even cheating you is unpleasant and spoils relationships and peace of mind. Always doubting other people’s loyalty or whether they can be trusted with confidences causes a great deal of anxiety.
Distrust and feeling paranoid
The Stop feeling paranoid session is specifically designed for feelings of distrust and oversensitivity to the possibility of rejection. Stress – which includes feelings of anxiety and anger – contributes to feeling paranoid. The irony is that paranoid behavior is likely to bring about the very thing the paranoid person fears (and suspects) – which is social rejection seen as ‘betrayal’. Being paranoid means taking neutral remarks from others and twisting them to fit a pattern which is not really appropriate. Feelings of paranoia may originate from having been treated badly in the past, so now the person adopts a defensive attitude to life in general.
Paranoia: Twisting reality to fit preconceptions
Emotion distorts perception by ‘swamping’ the thinking part of the brain. Human perception is like a lens. We don’t just perceive reality as it is. We distort it with all the force of our emotions and past conditionings. Paranoia is caused by the distorting effects of anger and anxiety. Just as light can be bent by passing though a lens, so too we sometimes describe people as having a ‘bent of mind’. When we are calmer we become more objective, and so the ‘lens’ of our perception becomes less distorting.
The fact is that rather than see things as they really are, we add to them and find ‘evidence’ to fit our pre-conceptions. Being overly suspicious and paranoid means not giving others a chance. It can even be seen as a lack of generosity. This hypnotic session should help calm the mind around other people.
All the best
