Procrastination

It's so easy to put things off, even things that may seem relatively important - wills for example. How many people do you know who have not yet made their will? Do they think that they are going to live for ever or that an accident wont happen to them? Putting things off is called procrastination and we all do it, but some do it more than others.

Alex had a particularly bad habit of putting things off and it was beginning to effect his life and especially his work. Even as a child he had delayed doing his homework until the very last minute, but always seemed to get by. This continued at university, but, because he was reasonably intelligent, he always seemed to get by.

He succeeded in getting a good job in advertising, but with promotion came greater responsibility and he could no longer rely on just getting by. A friend recommended hypnotherapy as a way of helping him break his lifelong habit.

After discussing his habit and possible causes I was able to plan a course of treatment and within a very few sessions he was able to break the habit and feel much more in control of his life.
