Allow me to explain what I’m looking for help with. This is a little long winded but please hear me out.
Essentially, my wife has a couple of phobias, in particular public speaking, which I believe are holding her back from reaching her full potential. She’s an absolutely brillliant woman, but lacks confidence in herself.
I know from my own experience how effective hypnosis can be for things like this, however she refuses to see anyone about it as she simply doesn’t believe it’s real, snake oil almost.
What I wanted to do is create a really tangible way for her to believe in the power of hypnosis and her subconscious mind. One idea I had was to create something that would make a really tangible yet benign change in her day-to-day behaviour, such as the wrist in which she wears her watch (I’ve known her for nearly twenty years, and she’s ALWAYS worn it on her left wrist, so it would be quite noticeable if she suddenly began to wear it on her right).
If we could achieve that (or something similarly quantifiable), and then bring it to her attention, I think it could really help in convincing her of the power of hypnosis and to get the professional help that I think would make such a positive difference in her career and life.
Is this something that could be realistically done in a relatively under the radar kind of way, or am I misunderstanding something about how this stuff works?
