Uncontrollable Talking Behavior

​

Uncontrollable talking goes beyond the bounds of what is considered to be a socially acceptable amount of talking.The two main factors in determining if someone is a uncontrollable talker are talking in a continuous manner, only stopping when the other person starts talking, and others perceiving their talking as a problem. Personality traits that have been positively linked to this compulsion include assertiveness, willingness to communicate, self-perceived communication competence, and neuroticism. Studies have shown that most people who are talkaholics are aware of the amount of talking they do, are unable to stop, and do not see it as a problem.

Why Hypnosis may help you?

​

1- Every single one of my clients sufferers from compulsive behaviors I’ve treated over  years have described how, when they are obsessing or acting compulsively, they feel like they ‘space out’.

During any hypnotic state there’s a narrowing down of your focus of attention at a given trigger, a feeling of ‘time disappearing’ during hours of (for example) hand washing. You become inwardly absorbed as the imagination becomes more ‘real’ than external reality.

Uncontrollable behavior isn’t really a ‘thought behavior’. It’s a ‘feeling behavior’ – even an ‘imagination behavior’. So it makes sense to help a ‘hypnotic condition’ with hypnosis.

But there is also the subconscious mind to consider...

​

2- Hypnosis communicates with the ‘problem part’ of the mind:

You might have heard the parable of the man looking for something in the street at night.

“What are you looking for?” asks his neighbour.

“I’ve lost my key,” says the man.

“Where did you lose it?”

“In my house.”

“Then why are you looking for it out here in the street?”

“Because there’s more light to see by under this street lamp!”

Trying to work at the conscious level with someone when the problem really resides in, and is maintained, by, their subconscious mind is like the man looking for his key in the wrong place just because there seems to be ‘more light’ in that place.

But we can go further.

Nervous talking creates a nervous impression

The fact is that talking or gibbering about nothing (or going round in conversational circles) doesn't create a good impression and doesn't make you feel too good either. Nervous chatter always seems like nervous chatter.

Nervous talking tends to be fairly empty of decent content. So if you find yourself talking without your brain being engaged then it's time to calm down with others. Because this will make you appear less intelligent than you really are.

Of course you may find that sometimes you do the opposite when feeling under-confident or nervous; you clam up and say very little. Either way this session will get you feeling calm enough to know when to speak and when to listen.

​

Relaxing with those silences

The worst horror for many nervous talkers is the scary spectra of silence. But silences are an essential part of conversation. When you learn to relax with conversational silences you'll come to appreciate them and so will the people you are talking with.

When you relax more during conversation you no longer feel compelled to bamboozle people will an avalanche of words. This means you give them responsibility for their own thoughts and words so they can think and speak. Because not all the responsibility is, or should be, with you to keep conversation going.

This session uses relaxing hypnosis to improve the way you feel and communicate in times where, before, you would have been inclined to go into nervous motormouth mode.
