Does Hypnosis work like Magic?
Have you ever heard, “Hypnotherapy is great but it’s not a magic wand”? And what if you could say, “Actually, it’s just like a magic wand”? Here’s my take on the Cinderella story that will let you do just that.
If I was Cinderella, I’d want my Fairy God-mother to have a much better magic wand.
What I’d really want is to be picked up from that lonely fireplace, and zapped straight into the Prince’s arms – whirling elegantly in my beautiful dress. Or (given my exceptional lack of dancing skills) straight into the proposal scene. Or even the wedding.
No midnight curfew, no obscure search that might put the wrong girl with the right sized feet in my place by his side.
But it isn’t like that, is it?
It’s “Here’s the dress, here’s the coach. Now go get him. But do it before 12 o’clock.”
Imagine how it must have felt; you arrive alone, late. You enter the ball room. Everyone stops, stares, the whispers start. The Prince is intrigued, comes forward, speaks. All done by magic?
No.
Despite the Rolls Royce coach and free designer clothes, the courage to open the door and walk into that room came from inside Cinderella herself.
If you think about it, the magic wand didn’t solve Cinders’ problems at all. It simply gave her the tools to solve them herself.
And that's exactly like hypnotherapy…
