"The Map is Not The Territory"

“The Map is Not The Territory”. A polish scientist and philosopher, Alfred Korzybski, spoke this little pearl of wisdom in the 1930’s. “Our perception of reality is not reality itself, but our version of it, our map.” So what does he mean by this?

At the most basic level, this teaches us to avoid believing in generalizations, and to always question our beliefs. Nothing, or at least, very little that we believe about others or ourselves is objectively true. It’s just a map – and if the map is not useful to us, it’s the map that we should change.

If you believe that you are not good enough, not thin enough, not confident enough, then you probably think that your belief reflects the truth, that it is real. If your beliefs are getting in the way of you leading a truly extraordinary life, then you need to look at it from a new perspective. What beliefs are you holding onto that are not serving you? You need to realize that all you are holding is a map. Change the map, change the belief, and you’ll find the reality you explore and create for yourself changes as well. “The Map is Not The Territory” is not just sage advice – it may save your sanity!

Once someone finds out I am a hypnotist, I almost always get the question "Can hypnosis help me with..." and what follows is a variety of things. Sometimes it is funny, like "can you hypnotize my spouse to do more work around the house" and other times it is more interesting, like "I have this knee pain, that doesn't go away after all of the treatments from the doctor".

The answer to those questions is that if the problem has anything to do with how you think or feel, then yes... a well trained hypnotist can probably help you. A hypnotist becomes a guide to help work with your subconscious to make the changes you desire easier for you to succeed. Sometimes we believe we want something, but if prior programming - such as "you will never amount to anything when you grow up" is still running, we will find it difficult to achieve the things we want. Hypnosis helps you identify that programming and clear it so you can finally achieve success.

Below is a short list of many issues you may or may not have considered that respond well to hypnosis.

Improve academic performance
Fertility issues
