Self-Help Books & Tapes Don't
Always Work-- Here's Why!

Many hypnotherapist supplement
their work with a reprogramming tape as
an added benefit to the client for such
problems as obesity, smoking, fears and
other concerns.
For some people, a personal hypnosis
session and cassette tape works well.
Success is less assured, however, with the
purchase of a self-help cassette or book.
The marketplace today is flooded
with "How to tips and techniques, ranging
from how to lose weight, stop smoking,
and reduce stress, to topics of even
broader appeal such as how to make a ton
of money fast or become a success in
business.
Are they useful? Yes! Do they Work?
It depends?  Such self-help books
and tapes will work only if the individual
has worked through the " BLOCKAGES"
in his or her unconscious mind. People
often Experience frustration with some
thing they want to accomplish, such as
weight loss.  It is the Conscious Mind that
says, "I really want to lose weight.  I'm
ready this time.  I'm motivated.  I want to
be thin."
Yet approximately 85 percent of
dieters eventually gain back the weight.  
Why?  Because there are reasons in the
Unconscious Mind to keep the weight on.  
Weight Loss, and most other goals, will be
successful only after the person has
released the mental and emotional
blocks, that are preventing them from
accomplishing the goal.
The plea is made for more "Will
power, Discipline, and Hard Work" to
reach a goal.  If it is not happening, the
individual feels internal conflict.  Will
power, it should be remembered, is a
function of the conscious mind.

The non-conscious Mind is the "Power
house," and It will work for or against one's
conscious goals.  An individual's unconscious
mind has been programmed since birth.  Until
the age of four, or when the mind is
particularly just right, open and receptive;
much of what a child experiences during these
years is accepted as fast.
Along with positive, Nurturing messages
in the unconscious mind, there is "Garbage."  
If, as a child, one hears messages such as,
"You will never amount to anything," or "You
can't do anything right,"  repeatedly, these
statements; they will in time serve to block
one's ability to succeed.             
Comments from family and friends that
reinforce an obese body image, for example,
will affect weight control efforts in adulthood.
How can such "BLOCKAGE" be removed?
An excellent way is to work with an
experienced and qualified clinical hypno-
therapist like Doctor Joseph A. Ojeda, who
specializes in regression therapy-- the process
of going back into one's memory to "re-live"
some of the past experiences.
By carefully guiding and working with the
unconscious mind, the hypnotherapist can help
a person release some of the mental and
emotional blocks that are stored in the mind-
body system.  As The negative programming
and beliefs are released, one is able to accept
new images of success, health and happiness.
Learning more about the power and
vulnerability of the unconscious mind
empowers an individual towards personal
growth, acceptance, freedom and self-reliances.
