Fear of Embarrassment
Fear of Embarrassment
You want to be successful as a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist. You have a client named Frank, who comes to you because he never seems to earn enough money.
Even though Frank is college educated, the only jobs he gets hired for are barely over minimum wage. Frank is 35 years old, and has never earned the “big money,” promised by earning a college degree.
This is a common scenario with male clients, over the age of thirty, moving all the way up to retirement age.
I probed Frank, asking why he thinks he never secured the “big career.” I asked him, “What is holding you back from the big money,” and I asked him, “Who is holding you back from earning the big money.”
I was surprised to find that he named three people. I will call them, Tom, Dick and Harry.”
Every morning Frank, Tom, Dick and Harry meet for breakfast at a coffee shop located on the way to work.
Tom, Dick and Harry all work for either retail stores or telephone call centers, earning just a little over minimum wage. Tom, Dick and Harry are Frank’s age and none have a college degree.
I asked Frank, “What would Tom, Dick and Harry say if at breakfast, you told them, “I just got a job that will pay more than double my current earnings.”
Frank though about it a few minutes then exclaimed, “I would be too embarrassed to tell them.”
I asked Frank why he would be embarrassed, and he said, “I don’t know.”
This is a very common to find in the business world. You find friends who are like you. They have the same politics, many times the same religious beliefs, and the same attitudes. You feel comfortable with them. There is nothing wrong with hanging out with like minds except when it comes to earning money.
To paraphrase Mark Victor Hansen, the “Chicken Soup of the Soul, Co-Creator, “Tell me how much money each of eight of your closest friend’s earn and I can tell you how much you earn.”
Peer pressure to retain the status quo in an adult relationship is every much as powerful as the peer pressure associated with teenage drug use.
How can a hypnotist help?Once you have ascertained that your client is affected by the fear of embarrassment, you need to confront that fear with a positive induction that focuses on visualization exercises focusing on the way Tom, Dick and Harry will perceive Frank in his new higher paying position.
Make the visualization vivid with all the sights, sounds, smells and feelings of the breakfast café.
You will find that in just a few sessions, Frank will overcome his fear of embarrassment and embark on a program to find better paying jobs.
Summary:
Always be on the lookout for the “Fear of Embarrassment.” This is a real fear that holds many of us back from success. Mastering techniques on overcoming the fear will help you as a hypnotist or hypnotherapist help many people that normally would go back to their old habits once your sessions are finished.
