Are You Enough?
Why ask such a question? Because most of time we don’t feel we are! You know it’s true. How many times have you told yourself today that you were not measuring up? How many times did you consider ways to improve your life and then talked yourself out of it?
Whether it’s talking yourself into eating that cookie when you know you need to lose weight, or talking yourself out of making phone calls to business prospects…beneath it all is the sense that you are not enough.
This feeling was beautifully satirized in the film “Wayne’s World” when the Wayne and Garth got down on their knees bowing to Heather Locklear and intoned:
“I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy”.
I don’t care how old you are, when put in socially stressful situations we can feel that we are back in 5th grade. Here’s a good example:
A young man was referred to me by his psychotherapist, Andrew Susskind, LCSW. He had ten job interviews set up with the best financial institutions in the country and he was terrified. He was graduating from a highly prestigious MBA program at a nationally known university. He was picked by the faculty as one of the few candidates to be given this opportunity. You would think that being in one of the top programs in the country, and a straight A student he would feel he deserved this opportunity and look forward to it. Instead he felt anxious, insecure and doubted his abilities. He was unable to sleep and he had a strong negative physical reaction every time he even thought about the interviews. His therapist worked with him to overcome the hurtful messages his father and family had given him as he was growing up, and I used hypnosis to enlighten his subconscious so he would know and feel he was enough to take advantage of this opportunity. Happily, he benefited from seeking help, went through the interviews with ease and was hired by his first choice, a top firm in New York City.
The feeling of not being enough is insidious. It holds you back from being your authentic self, and taking advantage of the wonderful opportunities that are all around you. Nothing is more liberating and freeing than knowing that you are enough, just as you are.

"I am an 18 year old student who suffers from major anxiety. I want you know how well therapy session (s) have worked for me, particularly one very important incident. This summer I had planned a trip to Greece. However, one little problem lay ahead, I was so terrified and scared to fly. So, having been to Virginia in the past for help with other problems, I hoped she would help me with this one. During my session, one of the things Virginia told me was, whenever I feel nervous, I should put my index finger up and push it down to release the nervousness in me. When it was time to actually fly and use this method, I was still very scared; however, it worked like you would not believe. Every time I would get frightened from the turbulence, I would use this method, and the fear would just pass through me as if I was never nervous or scared in the first place. It seemed as though I was more relaxed. Therefore, I can honestly say that hypnotherapy works and I will always go to Virginia if I ever have a fear or problem."

As a hypnotherapist I help my clients become aware of their inner voice. No matter what problem or difficulty they are struggling with, at the root of it is the way that person sees or feels themselves from the inside.
The benefits of hypnotherapy are far reaching and can have a great impact on your life. The subconscious mind creates the “subtext,” the emotion behind your thoughts, and it literally creates your life script.
The clients who come to me are aware that their inner thoughts create their outward behavior, and they deeply desire to change. When they are introduced to their inner guidance through hypnotherapy, they begin to realize their true gifts and talents.
The more you know who you truly are, the better the choices you will make in your life.
No one knows the truth of your life better than you do!
