Maria João Dias joins us as a speaker again this year. Maria will present “Change Limiting Beliefs Permanently”
The Presentation:
As hypnotherapists, we witness daily how profoundly past experiences shape our clients’ lives. Early experiences — in childhood and even in the womb – often give rise to deep beliefs about who we are and how the world works. Formed during periods of great vulnerability, these beliefs can later restrict behaviour, undermine self-worth, and interfere with growth and emotional wellbeing.
Beliefs such as “I am not good enough,” “I must please others to be loved,” or “I must succeed to be seen and recognised” are sadly very common. They are not logical conclusions, but emotional interpretations created in response to early experiences. For example, when a baby cries and the mother does not come, the baby may unconsciously conclude: “My mother doesn’t love me,” “My voice is not important,” or “It’s safer to stay quiet.” These are the child’s best attempts to make sense of the world with a nervous system still in formation.
When we return to these early moments and allow the inner child to understand that the mother’s absence was not due to lack of love, but a reflection of her own limitations or circumstances, something profound shifts.
I will demonstrate how to release outdated emotional interpretations and replace them with more compassionate and supportive meanings, thus enabling our clients to build new internal foundations – ones that support self-worth, emotional safety, healthy relationships, and a more balanced, fulfilling life.
