I?ve had problems with organization and procrastination all my life. I?ve always over committed and had a hard time saying no to things. In the past, I?ve tried to change by reading self-help books. I?d get off to a great start, clean my office, and then it would just be back to the same mess; simply reading about it was not enough for me.
My lack of order and unrealistic expectations have kept me constantly running, struggling and having to make excuses for not being on time or ready when I said that I would be. It?s kept me anxious and irritates the dickens out of my husband.
I?d thought about counseling as an approach, but my experience has been that counselors are often looking for a deep rooted trauma or issue. I wanted an easy way to get things done quickly and thought that hypnosis might be an approach that would work for me. After our initial visit, I liked Laura?s style. She was directive but in a way that didn?t pressure me to come up with answers, instead asking me to reflect on my own behavior.
I feel more in control now because I have a way of looking at things and working on doing something about my situation. It?s given me a greater sense of control and focus and I feel less stress. I?ve also noticed that I?m using the word ?realistically? more often and that has helped me greatly.
My desk is still clear and I?m cleaning it regularly. I know what I?m supposed to be doing and there?s satisfaction in crossing things off my list. It feels good to be able to grab a folder and run and open the folder and have what I need. I have a real sense of relief now.
I know that I have to control my behavior and that the answer is within my power. I would definitely recommend Laura?s services because she is very pragmatic and direct in terms of facing the issues, so I?ve never felt like I?m wasting time getting to the issues. I?m now confident that I can do this and I?ve made so much progress already that I'm certain of future success.
Pros: Great Approach
