Luke Michael Howard, clinical hypnotist and
owner of Lukenosis Hypnosis here. And today
I want to talk a little bit about bullet wounds
and band aids and bear with me for a moment. Oftentimes
clients will come to me and they will come to
me in a symptom problematic state. What I mean
by that is they come to me cuz Luke. I have anxiety.
Every time I speak to a pretty girl or a handsome
man, I have this thing called anxiety. Luke
I have this chronic allergy that whenever I'm
around my boyfriend or my girlfriend's cat,
this allergy comes out of nowhere. Luke, whenever
I see food, I'm OK. But whenever I go past McDonald's
or Burger World or Starbucks, I need copious
amounts of carbohydrate. I just have this urge
to over eat Luke. Whenever I feel really, really
stressed, I need to pick up a cigarette and smoke
my lungs out. So they come to me and they want me.
It was seemingly obvious to help them to quit
smoking, the smoker to quit overeating, the
overeater to quit having the allergy. Yes,
hypnosis is very, very well. Works very well
with people with allergies as well. There's
some videos on my YouTube that show me working
with someone to remove a cat allergy and all
those kinds of things. But they're just triggers,
right? They're just triggers. So if the client
comes to me, and it would seem rightfully so,
like Luke, I want you to help me to quit smoking. Really.
What that's like, that's all that we did is I
helped the smoker quit smoking. It's a bit like
put in one of these, a Band-Aid on one of these.
A bullet wound, right. Put the Band-Aid on the
bullet wound and the anxiety persons. Oh, Luke,
please just stop making me feel anxious when
I'm around the trigger. Pretty girl, pretty
boy, handsome boy. If I have to give a talk at work.
So you get another Band-Aid, right? And you
put that on another bullet wound and it's going
to stop it from bleeding out temporarily. Oh,
Luke, you know, what is this smoke? I don't have
a problem at all. It's just. But this smoking malarkey.
Yeah, just just help me to quit smoking. I just
put a Band-Aid on that. Yeah. Should we put a
Band-Aid on that? Stop that sucker bleed now.
Oh, Luke, you know what? I just, I just, I just
have to over
overindulge in this negative pattern that
I've got going on this OCD obsessive Compulsive
Disorder disorder. If you just tell me to deal
with that and remind me where every time I need
to leave the house, I need to touch the door 15
times and turn around 16 before I exit. And when
I exit, I just need to wipe my feet outside 31
times in order to leave the building. Can you
help me to do that? Let's do that. Let's put a
Band-Aid on another bullet wound there, right,
right there. So all those band aids do
is they work temporarily. All right. So if you
take medication, for example, because you're
allergic to cats, it puts a Band-Aid on the bullet
would it stops the bleeding out, so to speak
in the moment. If I hit the try someone, and I
think it's just to quit smoking and that's all
we deal with, we'll stop the bleed now or for
a little bit for a moment, the the the the the
person who has the obsessive thoughts, you
know, instead of wiping their feet 15 times,
they wipe their feet Now 14 times putting on
a Band-Aid stops the bleeding out temporarily.
But here's the problem. The problem is never the problem.
The reason anyone comes to see me is never the
reason they come to see me. Yeah, the thing,
the thing that caused us to pick up the phone
and fill out the questionnaire and spend an
hour for free on what we call screening call
with me is because that symptom was there, that
that trigger was there, right. But if all that
I did is the thing that they thought that they
needed stopping the smoking and that's it,
stopping the overeating and nothing else changes.
Stopping the allergy and nothing else. And
really, it's just about putting a Band-Aid
on a bullet wound, meaning in the moment it stops
the bleeding, they get a result. However, the
problem is, as long as that bullet's still in there,
it don't matter how many band aids that you start
to put on, as long as that bullet's still in there,
it still has a highly likely situation that
it's going to turn septic. And if it doesn't
come back that problem in the way that it did
originally, it will come back as something
even worse in the future. The person who overeat,
maybe now they over drink. The person who over
drink, maybe now they over cocaine. Maybe the
person who's doing cocaine now does too much
heroin because we put the Band-Aid on the bullet wound.
The problem's never the problem. You see, the
problem is just a symptom. We need to get below that problem.
If we help clients. If I help clients, when I
help clients, when I help you to clean up that
stuff, clean up that wound the process underneath
the over smoking, the problem, the overeating,
the problem, the OCD, the allergy for cats.
Whatever it is, once we clean up what's underneath
it, it's essentially like pulling the bullet
out of you. Pulling out metaphorically, the
bullet from your head or, you know, physically
pulling the bullet out of your torso and then
stitching you up. And yet it might be uncomfortable
111
00:05:36,429 --> 00:05:39,670
for a few days but then you're as right as rain
112
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:41,950
because everything's healed up. That foreign
113
00:05:41,950 --> 00:05:45,269
body, that foreign objects been removed from your body.
114
00:05:45,750 --> 00:05:48,029
And then you never have to worry about, oh, what
115
00:05:48,029 --> 00:05:50,109
happens in a few weeks from now when I'm at that
116
00:05:50,109 --> 00:05:52,269
party, Will I overeat? What happens when I hang
117
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:53,709
out with my friends from school that I haven't
118
00:05:53,709 --> 00:05:56,230
seen for a long time and we we always over drink?
119
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:59,500
Will I over drink? What if I go back and see my
120
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,220
parents and the only way I bond with my dad is
121
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:04,940
we smoke and now you've helped me to quit smoking.
122
00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:07,980
But what happens then? Well, it doesn't matter
123
00:06:08,019 --> 00:06:10,260
if the people in your life that you love and careful
124
00:06:10,540 --> 00:06:13,380
continue to smoke or continue to drink or whatever
125
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:15,339
the problem is, it doesn't matter for you anymore
126
00:06:15,940 --> 00:06:18,140
because we haven't put a Band-Aid anymore.
127
00:06:18,899 --> 00:06:22,660
We've taken those band aids off and we've removed
128
00:06:23,540 --> 00:06:27,019
the bullet once and for so we can't come back.
129
00:06:27,489 --> 00:06:31,649
Not only can't the problem come back in the way
130
00:06:31,649 --> 00:06:35,690
it showed up the first time, the alcohol, the
131
00:06:35,809 --> 00:06:38,970
allergy, the chronic pain, the chronic anxiety,
132
00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:41,609
the trauma in the brain, it can't come back as
133
00:06:41,609 --> 00:06:45,130
anything else anymore because it's gone. It's
134
00:06:45,130 --> 00:06:48,290
gone totally and completely so often times
135
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,290
in psychotherapy and counseling and other
136
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:52,799
forms of therapy, by the way, it's not what I do.
137
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,160
I mean, the change work business therapy implies
138
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,440
that somebody is fucked up and broken. I don't
139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,559
believe any of my clients fucked up or broken.
140
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,559
I just mean they got blocked up somewhere along
141
00:07:01,559 --> 00:07:04,799
the way and no one ever told them that to come unblocked.
142
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:07,279
And that's what I do, is I come in almost like
143
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760
an emotional plumber, if you will, and help
144
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,600
them to become unblocked. And once they know
145
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,279
that way, that problem never comes back again.
146
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:16,079
Does that mean they have a perfect life? Well,
147
00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:18,549
it'd be great if they did. But but life is life
148
00:07:18,549 --> 00:07:20,390
and it is fraught with challenges. But it just
149
00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:22,709
means that thing that we dealt with in the session,
150
00:07:22,709 --> 00:07:25,709
once we remove the bullet, that particular
151
00:07:25,709 --> 00:07:27,910
problem doesn't come back anymore because it's done.
152
00:07:27,910 --> 00:07:30,269
It doesn't take years of psychotherapy. It
153
00:07:30,269 --> 00:07:33,750
doesn't take years of trauma revisiting over
154
00:07:33,750 --> 00:07:38,510
and over and over again. And we come in, we remove
155
00:07:38,510 --> 00:07:41,700
the fucking bullet, we stitch you up and then
156
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:44,700
you go on your merry way. So one of the best things
157
00:07:44,940 --> 00:07:47,820
I lovingly, politely say to my clients is when
158
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:49,739
we've done our work together, usually no more
159
00:07:49,739 --> 00:07:52,500
than three sessions is I hope I never fucking
160
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:55,420
see you again with a big shit eating smile on my face.
161
00:07:55,899 --> 00:07:57,500
And they know me and they smile back because
162
00:07:57,500 --> 00:07:58,940
they know it came from a good place. And they're
163
00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:01,140
like, Luke, I hope I never fucking see you again,
164
00:08:01,140 --> 00:08:04,059
but thank you for helping me take control of
165
00:08:04,059 --> 00:08:07,459
my life and changing it so the problem is never the problem.
166
00:08:08,010 --> 00:08:10,929
Don't just think by covering up the bullet with
167
00:08:10,929 --> 00:08:13,250
a Band-Aid that temporarily gives you some
168
00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:16,170
relief that fixes it. You've got to get right
169
00:08:16,170 --> 00:08:19,890
in there and pull it out. And it might be temporarily uncomfortable.
170
00:08:20,450 --> 00:08:22,730
It might be temporarily really intense and
171
00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:24,410
uncomfortable emotionally,
172
00:08:26,059 --> 00:08:29,899
but that sure beats years and years and years
173
00:08:29,899 --> 00:08:33,059
and years and years and just having that discomfort
174
00:08:33,059 --> 00:08:36,260
and that pain and that suffering. It's always
175
00:08:36,260 --> 00:08:37,900
there in the background.
176
00:08:39,580 --> 00:08:42,700
Should never put a Band-Aid on the bullet wound.
177
00:08:43,659 --> 00:08:45,659
Pull the fucking bullet out. Go to someone that
178
00:08:45,659 --> 00:08:47,340
can help you to pull out. Go to someone that will
179
00:08:47,340 --> 00:08:49,500
pull out with your permission so you can heal
180
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:53,419
up and be whole. If you want that bullet to be
181
00:08:53,419 --> 00:08:57,099
removed from your mind or your body, metaphorically,
182
00:08:57,539 --> 00:08:59,580
then book your free screening call. You'll see
183
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:02,979
