Hi I’m Gita
I moved to New Zealand when I was 12, leaving behind the people and community I had always known. Overnight everything I knew was gone. Things were so different.
I couldn’t speak the language, even though people were kind, I was often thinking, Am I saying this right? Do people understand me? What are they thinking of me? There was a fear of getting it wrong. Sometimes I was afraid to speak because I didn't want to say the wrong thing.
It took time, but eventually I learned the language and made connections. I remember being able to just be myself again.
Years later, I found myself feeling stuck
in a similar way.
I could speak the language now, so why was I still asking myself, What do people think of me? Will they judge me?
No matter what language I was speaking, I was saying yes when I wanted to say no, staying quiet when I wanted to speak, and feeling frustrated that I couldn't express myself or do the things I wanted to do.
I didn't understand what was going on. I just knew it was affecting different areas of my life. I kept myself small, avoided disagreement, and put other people's needs before my own. I started to feel I was losing myself.
My own experience with RTT®
and hypnotherapy
I learned that I created a belief from experiences early in my childhood, that I was still carrying in my adult life.
Underneath the fear of being judge, there was a belief: If I was judged, I wouldn't be accepted. And if I wasn't accepted, it meant I wasn't enough just as I was.
Suddenly, it made so much sense. Keeping myself small, avoiding disagreement, and putting other people's needs before my own had become my way of trying to feel accepted. To feel like I was enough.
Becoming aware of these patterns helped me understand myself more deeply. It shifted the way I saw myself, what I believed about myself, and what I believed was possible for me.
Today, I help people who may feel stuck in patterns they don't fully understand, whether that's anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, people pleasing, or something they can't quite put into words yet.
Understanding what’s underneath can be the beginning of opening yourself up to a different possibility.
