Hypnotherapy How to Empower Yourself Through Objectification

Objectifying is a skill that empowers a person to look at a situation, and observes the emotions, thoughts, and impulses that coincide with a particular circumstance. The key components derived from one’s ability to objectify are awareness and choice. To objectify is the opposite of impulse reaction or gratification. It is a soothing skill because like (slow deep breathing) it will help you stay calm and safe.

Your objective is to focus your awareness on the stressful situations, emotions, thoughts, and impulses that partner with your situation. All the while describing what is happening to you, what you are feeling, and what you are thinking. Similarly to how a TV reporter may explain a new event. That is, describe your circumstance as if you were observing everything from the outside. Your job is to report everything without reacting to your observations. Remember, to objectify is to describe what is happening, without reacting. It is an unbiased approach designed to provide clarity of thoughts.

Objectifying is a hard skill to develop. Learning objectification is an especially tough skill for you to acquire because of your psychodramatic experiences (your instinct is to numb, deny, forget, or stuff stressful feelings). However, with the combination of your journal writing, and techniques you can overcome your past setbacks and create a new life story for yourself. This pairing of skill sets can empower you to objectively describe what you feel and think without acting on your emotions until, with full awareness and choice, you consciously decide to do so.

Recovery from what you have been through takes time, and it is the time you spend on nurturing a new you that is time well spent.
