Hypnosis for Relationships

Hello, I’m Jonathan Garside from The Hypnosis Clinic. Today, I’d like to talk about relationships. It’s not traditionally something that you expect to associate with hypnotherapy, however, over the years I’ve helped many people to be better at communicating. Here are some great tips from my friends at Relate to make the most of your relationships. Empathy is important. Sometimes, arguments reach a stalemate because neither partner is willing to listen to what the other is saying. But listening to one another and trying to understand how each other is feeling doesn’t mean changing your own ideas or even necessarily admitting you’re wrong, it just means showing you partner that you care about how they’re feeling and that you’re willing to make the effort to meet in the middle if necessary. Communication is key. It’s one of the most important skills in any relationship. Being able to clearly and consistently state how you’re feeling will mean that those little niggles that might otherwise develop into something worse, can be resolved early on. It also worth remembering that communicating doesn’t just mean being able to make your own point well, but learning to listen to what your partner’s saying too. Try to employ ‘active listening’ when you’re talking together. Don’t just wait for your turn to speak, but really listen to what they’re saying. Repeat what they’re saying back to them. People often think of arguing as inherently bad, but if there’s no conflict whatsoever in your relationship, there’s a good chance someone’s holding something back. Differences between you and your partner are pretty much inevitable – it’s how you deal with those differences that counts. Try to avoid letting things spin out of control: don’t say things you’ll regret later or just trade insults. And be prepared to be forgiving: it’s only when both partners are willing to let go of their desire to ‘win’ the argument that it can actually end. In a long term relationship, commitment means being willing to work on difficulties together, planning for the future together and clarifying and protecting the boundaries you’ve agreed on. This takes persistence and hard work – but the rewards are more than worth it. Relationships can be challenging; they need care and attention, effort and commitment to get right. Sometimes people feel that they can never have the happy, successful relationship they want, however, loving and being loved is something we can all do, with a little practice. So you see, relationships are all about acceptance, trust and communication. Our blog has lots of tips about how to build better, healthier and longer lasting relationships.
