Can Hypnosis Help You Get Over Your Ex?

Who doesn’t want to just forget about their ex, right? Like it almost never happened…

It’s not quite that simple but hypnotherapy can help you put them behind and look forward confidently.

Different stories, the same pain

Over the years, I got the opportunity to work with different different people looking to get over an old relationship. Some were heartbroken right after the breakup, some were still thinking about their ex even though years passed since the separation.  

Some were cheated on, some faced betrayal, some left their partner themselves but were still regretting the decision and for some, it was a pure mistake. But the result has always been the same: being hurt, feeling lonely, and helpless.

It is possible to leave an ex behind, in history, where that story should belong. You may be holding on to your ex unconsciously for personal reasons that you can change within.

Even though completely forgetting about your ex with hypnosis is not really a feasible option, making peace with what happened and moving forward with your life is a considerable option. Hypnotherapy can help with this by re-organizing your subconscious mind and helping you reconnect with your own virtues.

Hypnosis can help with releasing the emotional baggage

When we are in love and so bonded with someone else, it becomes inevitable to get affected by their actions as well. No matter what the reason for your break up is, you probably felt a range of emotions from guilt, shame, sadness, loneliness, betrayal, rejection, and so on.

Perhaps, even during the best times of your relationship you’ve been repressing emotions in an attempt to brush them aside. In the end, you suppress them unconsciously. This means they are still right there, within, lingering around and preparing the ground for resentment.

It’s extremely difficult to forget about someone when you have so many emotions that you are withholding about the person. With the help of hypnosis, you can subconsciously let go of these negative emotions and let them integrate unconsciously as well.

Metaphorically, repressed emotions create a toxic fog within that disconnects you from yourself in a way. By releasing these emotions, you can gain more clarity and a sense of relief which is the first step to forgetting anyone!

Hypnosis can help with increasing your self-esteem

After a breakup, it’s very common to feel insecure and out of touch with ourselves. You may find yourself doing things that are very uncommon to you. You may feel a need to change your looks -women tend to get haircuts, men tend to change their shaving style, and losing weight is also a very common attempt for both sides-, an urge to find someone new immediately or to stalk your ex.

These are all common actions and feelings one may have when feeling unconfident in themselves right after the separation. The antidote to getting back on your feet is to regain your self-esteem and step into your future with self-assurance.

Hypnosis can be one of the best ways to recognize your own value and improve your self-esteem. What we think about ourselves subconsciously sets the precedent for how we will feel about ourselves. During hypnotherapy, you can focus on your subconscious self-image and shape it in a way that feels remarkable to you.

Hypnosis can help with forgiving

If you ended things in a bitter way with your ex, it may be difficult to forgive them. As a result, you may resent or hold anger towards them. Guess who gets affected the most by these powerfully negative emotions? YOU!

They say all forgiveness is self-forgiveness. We forgive others to free ourselves from the toxic chains and bonds of others. Forgive doesn’t mean forget. You forgive to release the burden of emotions and others in your life. That is to say, forgiving can be an essential part of leaving someone behind. 

The subconscious mind is always doing its best to protect us and help us prevent the same hurtful mistakes from happening over and over again. This is why you may feel stuck in your ex and constantly try to make sense of why and what happened. Without making sense and forgiving subconsciously, you may find your thoughts circling around your ex frequently.

With the support of hypnosis, you can help your subconscious mind integrate successfully and lower the alarm that has been going on in your mind since then.

Conclusion

Let’s recap; hypnosis will not help you forget someone or something altogether. If you’d like to read more about this, you can also check out my other article which explains “forgetting” with hypnosis more in-depth. 

However, hypnosis can help you leave someone in the past, in a neutral place where you are not bothered; by increasing your self-esteem, releasing negative emotions, and forgiving the person subconsciously.
