Understanding Inner Conflict in Daily Life
The constant struggle between different desires is something we all experience. Whether it’s choosing between a healthy salad (because you know ultimately that is what will be better for your body) and a burger (because you’ve had a long day, things have not been great and you feel you deserve a reward) for lunch or deciding whether to take the leap into a new career, or sticking to what you have (just in case you fail, what if you don't make it? what will people say?) these internal battles are part of our human journey. When we feel in harmony, all these parts are in balance, and if they are marginally out of balance they typically don't interfere too much with our happiness. However, when these conflicts intensify, one part becomes too loud let’s say, it can lead to : procrastination, avoidance, hindering our ability to make concrete decisions, we lose trust ourselves, the list goes on.
Often these avoidance tactics compromises our integrity and leaves us feeling guilty or not good enough.
The Impact of Unresolved Inner Conflict
When we allow inner conflicts to persist, they take a toll on our mental well-being. Stress and anxiety can take hold, affecting our relationships and overall quality of life. Recognizing the signs of escalating inner conflicts is the first step towards positive change.
The Role of Hypnotherapy in Resolving Inner Conflict
Parts Therapy is a method pioneered by Charles Tebbetts and based on the Psychosynthesis approach which was originally developed by Roberto Assagioli M.D .
In this technique hypnosis is used to identify the conflicting parts that are impacting the wellbeing of the client, then helps those parts negotiate with each other through the therapist to bring about a resolution. The focus is to achieve an agreement, a coming together, of the various parts of an individual's personality into a more cohesive self.
Another major aspect is its affirmation of the spiritual dimension of the person, i.e. the "higher", "deeper", “the all knowing” self. This higher self is seen as a source of wisdom, inspiration, unconditional love, and higher good to the client.
This method is used during a hypnotic session of some depth, usually after a couple of initial sessions during which other methods are used to strengthen self-esteem and develop trust with the hypnotherapist. This technique is most effective when there is an inner conflict that prevents a client from achieving a goal they consciously want to achieve but which seems to elude them.
If the client feels like they have tried everything but they seem to be defeated by forces almost 'outside of themselves' it is an indication that there may be a subconscious part of them who that is not wanting this change. This is where hypnotherapy really does what other therapies cannot, by working directly with the subconscious, it addresses the core issues that contribute to procrastination, avoidance, anxiety or whatever the part is bringing up.
The way to deal with this part is by understand it fully. Usually, these "parts" of us have been created for our good. At some stage over our lifetime, they served us by protecting us or helping us cope. They are a natural part of our defense mechanisms. However, as our environments changed, we developed and grew, so new agreements have to be made and old understandings revised.

Embracing Inner Harmony
In a world filled with distractions and decisions, inner conflict can be a significant roadblock. Deep down you know it is essential to recognize when these conflicts are getting out of hand. Sometimes we don’t take action because we feel it will cause pain on others, or because we think it will be harder than we can bear. Clinical hypnotherapy provides a clear path to resolution, helping you regain trust in yourself and make choices that align with your goals and values.
Remember what we resist, persists.
