Dominique Didinal’s Post

Each client brings a unique story, a set of challenges, and a desire for transformation. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the profound changes that unfold within my clients as they delve into the depths of their unconscious. From overcoming crippling phobias to breaking free from self-limiting beliefs, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to rewrite their narratives and embrace new possibilities. Every session is a collaborative journey, where trust is established, and rapport is built. A safe and nurturing environment is created where clients can relax, explore, and confront their innermost thoughts and emotions. Through gentle guidance and the power of suggestion, I help clients access their innate resources, tap into their strengths, and cultivate resilience. My role as a therapist extends beyond the therapy room. I am a perpetual student constantly seeking to deepen my understanding of the mind-body-spirit connection and refine my skills as a facilitator of change. Whether through continuing education, research, or collaboration, I am committed to staying at the forefront of my field and offering my clients the highest standard of care. My life as a therapist is a rich tapestry woven with stories of transformation, resilience, and hope. Each day presents new challenges and opportunities for growth, reminding me of the profound privilege it is to accompany others on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. In the quiet moments of reflection, I am reminded of the profound impact that hypnotherapy has not only on my clients' lives but also on my own. It is a path of profound connection, empathy, and transformation, a path that I am grateful to walk every day.

But what has consistently been shown to facilitate change, spark motivation, and build discipline? ✨ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUPPORT✨. It’s our social network, empathetically and non-judgmentally guiding us, keeping us accountable.

One phenomenon I've been reflecting on recently that has been increasingly evident in my conversations with clients is the concept of self-abandonment. This behaviour manifests when individuals struggle to assert their own needs, people-please, find it challenging to communicate their thoughts and emotions authentically, and ultimately lose touch with their true selves. While it is important to hold regard for fellow human beings and what they bring, self-abandonment can have far-reaching consequences on one's mental and emotional well-being. Research shows that individuals who habitually neglect their own needs in favour of others may experience heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and even depression. This pattern of behaviour can also lead to difficulties in building and maintaining genuine relationships, as it hinders the ability to express true thoughts and feelings openly. Fortunately, psychotherapy and coaching can provide valuable opportunities for individuals to explore and understand their needs, validate their emotions and beliefs, and reclaim their authenticity. They can also learn to prioritise self-care, set boundaries, and cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth. By addressing the root causes of self-abandonment and learning healthier ways of relating to oneself and others, a person can begin a journey towards greater self-empowerment and a more fulfilling life. #leadermentalhealth #mindset #coaching #psychotherapy #therapeuticcoaching #executivecoach

❓Have you tried psychotherapy / talk therapy / counselling in the past? ✅ Have you found some benefit to having a place to talk, to have your feelings recognised and validated? 🤔 But have you found that the way you feel or behave does not really change? 😕 I hear this about 90% of the time from clients I work with. 🙏🏻 Hypnotherapy is often their last ditch attempt to make the changes they are so desperate to experience. 🥺 Freedom from anxious feelings, painful thoughts of hopelessness/despair/regret/shame/guilt for example. 🧠 No one has ever told them that actually the way we think, feel and act is coming from our deeper subconscious mind, running the way that we live our lives, completely outside of our awareness. 👏🏻 In hypnosis - simply a deep state of focused relaxation - we can access the subconscious mind. 🙌🏻 We can identify, challenge and change any Negative Core Beliefs that are sitting in there. 😬 It might sound kind of scary or perhaps a bit mystical to talk about being to be able access this deeper mind. 👌🏻 But actually it’s the natural way to deeply understand yourself - and come to realise that the way we think and therefore feel really can be changed. Our thoughts are not fixed. 🥳 After hypnotherapy, clients feel a tangible shift in their thought processes and are able to implement new and healthy behaviours - like setting boundaries with people for example - with more confidence and ease. 🆓 Click the link in my bio to have your Free No Obligation Consultation Call to learn how you can finally set yourself free of your life limiting Core Beliefs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychological intervention that focuses on enhancing psychological #flexibility. Psychological flexibility involves the ability to be present in the moment, accept experiences without judgment, and take actions aligned with personal values. ACT helps individuals develop #mindfulness skills, accept difficult emotions, and reduce the influence of unhelpful thoughts. This approach emphasizes living a meaningful life by fostering six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, contact with the present moment, self as context, values, and committed action. ACT can be used to treat a variety of chronic health illnesses as well as mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic pain. It encourages individuals to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding or fighting them. This approach teaches people to observe their thoughts from a distance (cognitive defusion) and identify their core values to guide their actions. For example, instead of focusing on eliminating fear of dying or relapse, ACT encourages people to pursue meaningful goals while acknowledging fear's presence. The method is beneficial and interesting because it shifts the focus from controlling negative thoughts to accepting them as part of human experience, which can reduce emotional suffering. It is definitely creating a deeper connection to values and purpose as an approach , and it promotes long-term behavioral change and resilience. Its emphasis on mindfulness and #acceptance makes it a valuable tool for improving mental well-being in everyday life and across various therapeutic settings especially when people are dealing with health issues and decline in the quality of their life! #HealthPsychology #PatientCentric #Biopsychosocial Dr. Christina Karapanou, MCIPD,MCI Health Psychologist Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapist

Those of us who are lucky enough to have found a good therapist, and are well resourced enough to continue working with them, count our blessings. This powerful relationship with a skilled therapist can make the difference between things falling apart completely; or, us being able to feel, process, learn, and adapt. Yet therapist burnout is extremely high in general, and it’s highest among those in their early years of practice. I knew this was true from personal experience, but it's also backed up by tons of research. If this is you, you might be interested in my conversation with psychotherapist Alison Taylor about how her grounding in somatic practices helped her move through her training as a therapist with more ease than she expected! Three key takeaways are: ✅ Burnout in the therapeutic training and professions should not be normalized. Solutions like slowing down the training process, integrating somatic awareness, and a few simple practices that we share in the interview are available now. ✅ Some sources of burnout are systemic and we can't "wellness" ourselves out of them. Burnout is not your fault, but we do need to face it and deal with it. ✅ The postural support you learn to access in The Alexander Technique is a great foundation for being present with other people - and that is the basis of all the healing that happens in therapy. Maybe it could be helpful for you too!
