Ok had a listen to the ASC sub for one night and let me tell you, I know this thing is working. My internal state literally shifted last night. I think my run through of remove negativity within resulted in my ability to be comfortable with using these subs more. I remember when I first started out I thought they were wrong or not natural, I was also highly resistant to changing. I've found I've let go of a lot of that and now I'm willing to change more than ever and feel completely comfortable using these subs.
So back to what I felt. The thing with these subliminals is the changes are so pronounced and yet you would think it isn't the sub. It pretty much becomes a part of you and you catch yourself with these new habits that you felt you always had. Anyway what I felt was something I always had trouble creating for myself when it comes to confidence. I'm not a fan of the fake it till you make it attitude, I tried it for a while, but it's only a bandaid solution, the deeper problems are still hidden under it and you can tell. I felt confident and I didn't have to try, I just was. It blew my mind. It's like a eureka moment where things come together and you think to yourself "why didn't I just do this before?".
It's this small internal shift where I went from being afraid and hopeless, to more confident and feeling like I can do it. It just lifted my spirits up and just made me so much more positive. It goes beyond positive thinking or reframing thoughts, this change came from within and as a result altered my negative thinking.
But I do have that feeling of being 1 step ahead of the negativity. It's a feeling I've wrestled with for most of my life. Winston Churchill calls it the "black dog". At times it can be trained and locked up, not bothering me. Other times it tends to break free and wreak havoc in my life. My biggest insight was recognizing that the bad days would come to pass, there would be good days so long as I didn't hold onto the bad days.
I'm still debating if I want to see a therapist. I can't justify seeing a therapist if they really don't have a solution to my issues. The hot trend in psychology is cognitive behavioral therapy right now and it just seems so backwards. First the positives, you lean to restructure your thoughts and challenge the negative thinking, often times you gain insight into irrational behavior. The negatives, it doesn't address the root issues and you have to do it for life. Meaning it isn't a fix, it's a set of coping tools and if you slack off everything will go back to the way it was. It fails to address why an individual might have these irrational or negative thoughts in the first place, they obviously have to come from somewhere, they aren't just spawned out of thin air.
Anyway as I see it, psychology has a ways to go. Especially since most psychologist want to prolong everything and keep you in there. Talk therapy can be incredibly useful if the individual wants to talk about their problems or needs a person to give them unconditional support. However, if an individual knows their problem they don't want to talk about it, they just want to change it. Hypnosis seems like the most effective way for a therapist to get in touch with the subconscious mind and enact changes. It also would provide a direct focus to the root of issues, not just scratching the surface. Unfortunately for some reason the subconscious mind and hypnosis are just pseudoscience in the eyes of "professionals" instead of a solid method of treatment. Instead we have cognitive behavioral therapy which is based on multitudes of research and "science". I like science, it helps us understand things better. But in this case just because it's scientific or makes sense, doesn't mean it is the most effective treatment. It's all about the credentials, nobody wants to open their ears or minds to anyone without credentials. Which is sad because credentials aren't everything.
