Sometimes, you keep reading the same &#8220;sad story&#8221; over and over, and it makes you think tomorrow has to be sad too. But you are the author! You can pick up a new pen and start writing a &#8220;happy story&#8221; on the next page whenever you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why This Happens:<\/strong> Your subconscious is a storehouse of total experiences. When you rely on &#8220;uneducated comprehension of past events,&#8221; your brain uses old, painful memories to predict your future. Because your body wants to save energy, it stays in these &#8220;stagnant&#8221; loops rather than doing the hard work of learning a new way to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Fix It:<\/strong> In your mind, look at that past mistake as if it were a movie playing on a screen far away. Realize that you are now &#8220;older, wiser, and more mature&#8221; than the person in that movie. Mentally &#8220;cut the cord&#8221; to that screen and watch it fade away, replacing it with a picture of your successful self today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Context Research:<\/strong> The Austrian founder of psychoanalysis, <strong>Sigmund Freud<\/strong>, viewed symptoms as symbolic ways of dealing with internal conflicts from the past. By unearthing these &#8220;repressions&#8221; and evaluating them with adult wisdom, we can achieve &#8220;enlightenment and permanent change&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/?product=book-an-individual-session-of-hypnotherapy-at-the-clinic\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-dominant-color=\"e8e5cd\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e8e5cd;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwords.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rewriting-the-Story-at-GoodWords.info_.webp?resize=819%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-796 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwords.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rewriting-the-Story-at-GoodWords.info_.webp?resize=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwords.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rewriting-the-Story-at-GoodWords.info_.webp?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwords.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rewriting-the-Story-at-GoodWords.info_.webp?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwords.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rewriting-the-Story-at-GoodWords.info_.webp?resize=600%2C750&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodwords.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Rewriting-the-Story-at-GoodWords.info_.webp?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a way to set yourself free from your past and use your experience as a suggestion more than a constraint<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_mbp_gutenberg_autopost":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[80,82,76,77,69,73,70,75,68,71,72,79,81,50,74,78],"class_list":["post-795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-certified","tag-clinical","tag-coach","tag-consult","tag-cork","tag-dublin","tag-hypnose","tag-hypnosis","tag-hypnotherapy","tag-online","tag-onsite","tag-qualified","tag-registered","tag-relief","tag-self-help","tag-therapy"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=795"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":900,"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795\/revisions\/900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodwords.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
