Stop Touching Your Face Hypnosis - Introduction with Sue Peckham

No one knows for sure why we touch our faces as much as we do. Some believe it may be a self-grooming behaviour left-over from our primitive ancestors.

What we do know though is that there are 3 main triggers to face touching. One is when we are concentrating on something intently. Another is when we feel anxious or stressed. The other is for practical reasons, such as when we have an itch, need to swat away an insect, or simply need to adjust makeup or apply something to our lips.

According to research from the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology we touch our faces in the region of 23 times an hour. Of course, the vast majority of these face touches are unconscious. As it is an unconscious behaviour. We can of course use hypnosis to reprogram our minds to create new behaviours.

Using the Ten-Minute Meditation will rapidly transform your life and your wellbeing.  


Reduce Your Anxiety Mindfulness Meditation

The present moment isn't always a place of rest. Meditation can put us in touch with our stress and anxiety, and that's why it can be so helpful. Anxiety is our body’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m experiencing too much stress all at once.” This happens to the best of us. But, when that feeling of being “always on alert” becomes background noise that doesn’t go away, that’s when it’s time to seek help, and this session will help with that. Use as often as you need, to achieve calmness and to feel centred again.


Overcome Your Fear of Wearing a Face Mask Mindful Meditation

Many people are starting to experience an increase in the anxiety around having to wear a face mask whilst shopping, this is due to the feeling that breathing is limited because of restricted airflow which can easily be compared to a sense of suffocation. Also, any face covering will automatically make the face warmer (this area when covered is very thermosensitive) and anxiety sufferers can misinterpret the rise in temperature as a trigger for a panic/anxiety attack. 

This session will help overcome any anxiety related to wearing a face mask.


Stop Touching Your Face Hypnosis Session with Sue Peckham

Avoiding touching your face is an important and highly effective way of reducing your exposure to potentially harmful pathogens. But unfortunately, it's not as simple as just deciding not to touch your face.

Of course, the problem with telling anyone to not do anything that is a habit is that, generally, it makes them do it more. The behaviour is purely psychological and is known as reactance, which is a type of mechanism where our brain wants to ensure that we're free to do whatever it is that we want to do with our own lives.

But that's not all; humans are notoriously curious creatures, so when you label something as the ‘forbidden fruit’ and then say someone can't have it, you ultimately make them want it, even though they might not have even wanted it to begin with.

For most of us, frequent face touching is a deeply ingrained habit that occurs without any conscious input. This makes it very difficult to change the behaviour through willpower alone. This session helps reprogramme your mind to make you more aware about your face touching.
