“I was rescued from my 'dark self'”

Leila Maia¹, 41. Journalist.

Brasília, February 10, 2017

When I started hypnotherapy, I was a complete layman on the subject. What I knew was what I read “out there”.

I knew one thing. At that moment I needed a miracle in my life, that is, I wanted the impossible. Because I was in a situation of depression, low self-esteem, and a “chronic” history of pessimism, a diagnosis soon confirmed by the hypnotherapist. In fact, things were not going well for me. I had a pattern of behavior that I always condemned in myself: regrets, suffering for what I lost, for what I failed to do, for what I did that didn't work out... in short, stuck in the past. I once read a phrase that has had a great effect today: "We should use the past as a springboard and not as a sofa." (I don't know the author). And I found myself literally "sitting" in my past.

I started hypnotherapy via telephone with specific sessions once a week, and I confess, I was a bit skeptical at first. But after the session I felt tremendously well-being, I don't know how to explain it, but I felt light. At that moment, the feeling was very good. I received some support material, called Solutions, via email and after following the instructions and applying them in a guided and correct way, I noticed some changes in my behavior; they were clear, so much so that some people close to me noticed. I would like to emphasize that the Solutions sent are very effective, objective and easy to understand, even for a layperson like me.

And how they helped me!

Over time, hypnotherapy helped me deconstruct the bad image I had of myself. The way I blamed myself, judged and condemned myself was enough for other people to do worse to me. It was my “acceptance”.

Today I see clearly that there are no miracles, there are only techniques. For example, my mother tried to raise my self-esteem several times, as any good mother would do, but unfortunately they were just empty words, a vain effort. She had no way of helping me, she did not have the necessary technique to get me out of that mental state, I needed a professional.

However, a professional who really I knew, understood and that it would help me change the destructive behavioral pattern.

Before the hypnotherapy with Henrique de Azevêdo, I had tried conventional psychological therapies, but they were frustrating, since they told me what I should do. Well, I knew what I should do, but I didn't know how to do it! My defeatist and negative mentality paralyzed me before I even started. I needed to get rid of that state of anger.

The human mind is truly mysterious. What I can say with certainty is that I am happy to have had the opportunity to learn how to do self-hypnosis, to have the Solutions within my reach, because I always resort to them when I need them, and the best part: I recognize that I am a happy person, full of qualities and defects, who dreams, who goes after them, a good mother and a dedicated wife! Every day I wake up wanting to be a better person, to live a better day than yesterday. No pressure, no fear.

I will be eternally grateful to Henrique de Azevêdo and admire his work. I can say with all my heart that I was rescued from my “dark self” and I feel good about myself. If I happen to not be feeling very well at a certain moment, that’s okay, it’s part of life. Today I can accept it and see that not all is lost.

“As long as there is life,
there will be the possibility of change.”

A hug.
