Evidence-Based : The Inner Permission Method

  • Business strategies teach you how to swim, I guide you to stop fearing the water.

    You will:

    • Feel good about doing difficult tasks you kept postponing because they made you anxious and overwhelmed

    • Speak about your work with confidence even in front of a big group

    • Know how to handle rejection (yes, it will happen sometimes and that’s ok).

    • Be visible without feeling cocky.

    • Stop hiding behind generic statements.

    • Dare to launch that program you built.

    • Respect your work by pricing it accordingly.

    • Be found by those who resonate with what you do

  • The Inner Permission Method works with all of you at once: the protective and repressed parts, your nervous system, your body, your beliefs, your feelings, and your behavior. We identify the vicious circles keeping you stuck, the perfectionism that has you rewriting posts endlessly, the imposter syndrome that questions your expertise, the fear of being 'too much' or 'not enough.'

    Then we interrupt these patterns using CBT-Hypnotherapy: we work with the parts of you creating the resistance, challenge the beliefs fueling your anxiety, and retrain your nervous system to respond differently. We rehearse your new way of being through hypnosis and anchor it through your body.

    We create coherence between your mind, emotions, body, and actions and that's why the change lasts.

    We won’t just talk about new patterns, you’ll have a direct experience imprinted in your nervous system as a lasting change

    • artists/creatives with a business

    I work with entrepreneurs who do their inner work and care about making a difference, but who doubt their expertise and are scared of being judged or rejected. If you rewrite posts 10+ times, doubt your prices, or wait to feel "ready" before going bigger, this is for you.

  • The sessions are usually online, each of them 60 minutes long.

    In-person sessions are also available in Eindhoven.

  • Most people notice a shift within 3-4 sessions. People usually achieve their goal in 6-10 sessions. Endless processing is not my thing, I do focused work on specific patterns, which makes the results come faster.

    Recommended pace: once/week or once every 2 weeks.

LET’S DIVE INTO WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON

"What if it’s not good enough?"

You're sitting on your couch sipping some tea, working on your offer. Most likely you started very excited and motivated when you opened the laptop, but now things are bit difficult and there is an urge to clean the house or to randomly scroll on your phone.

You want to…

  • feel confident and authentic talking about what you do

  • put your work out there, online and in real life

  • set prices that feel good and are sustainable

  • attract clients that resonate.

But you …

  • question if it’s good enough and re-work the re-work;

  • open Netflix or Insta to postpone painful tasks;

  • compare yourself with others;

  • question your skills, your approach, your voice;

  • worry about being judged as inexperienced or unprofessional.

So you decide to wait some more, stay in the shadows and keep editing stuff until you’ll figure out “the right way to do it“.  Weeks might pass, months, for some even years.

Business strategies show you how to swim, I help you stop fearing the water.

It hurts the most when you want to…

Increase your prices

Every month you wait is a month you work more than you should for less than you're worth.

The program you could be running is sitting in your head, fully formed, and every day it stays in draft the people you didn't reach are lost clients who can’t benefit from your work.

Work with groups

Withholding your unique perspective and hiding your voice and your face pays nothing and helps no one.

Publish THAT thing

Why is it so hard?!

(hint: is not the "I'm bad at marketing")

Your nervous system learned long ago that visibility is high-risk. Being seen maybe meant criticism  or rejection. Making mistakes meant shame or punishment.

Then your brain did what it knew best to protect you and built a pattern: visibility = D.A.N.G.E.R.

This pattern lives in your body, not just your mind, it's automatic and unconscious which is why logic and willpower won't fix it. In other words, the body betrays you even when your mind agrees.

You can know that posting is safe and you can understand your business needs visibility. I bet you saw tons of business videos on YouTube and know some good podcasts. But when it's time to actually do it, panic mode: ON.

Threat is detected and then safety mechanisms activate: doubt, endless editing, procrastination, overthinking etc., fun folks from “Anxiety Firefighters“ .

Every time you hide and don't put yourself out there to share your work, you feel temporary relief. Then your nervous system takes note: "See? Avoiding = safe, told you! Let's keep doing this." and the pattern gets stronger.

Mindset or confidence can’t do their magic because it's about an automatic threat response that's trying to protect you by keeping you hidden.

Your mind says "just do it." Your body says "absolutely not!" Guess who wins. Well, the body.

THE SOLUTION: REWIRING INNER PATTERNS

Your brain is neuroplastic, meaning it can be rewired. When new ways of showing up are experienced and repeated, the brain updates the pattern and self-promotion can start to feel safer, more natural, even enjoyable.

Real confidence is the consequence of feeling safe to be you.

    GET THINGS DONE

    The anxiety and overwhelm you felt when doing difficult tasks are now replaced by determination, and the satisfaction of completing on time what you promised yourself to do.

    TRUST YOUR WAY

    You stop tuning yourself down to sound more acceptable. Your voice gets clear, you're saying what you actually think, in the way you want, embracing the parts that make you different. You're calm when you speak, whether it's to three people or three hundred. Showing up as you are just feels right.

    BE FOUND BY YOUR PEOPLE

    When you dare to say boldly who you are and what you do, others notice. Authentic expression acts like a signal: it lets the people already looking for what you offer, finally find you

Hi, I’m Oana

​I started doing this work because I believe every person has an unique gift to share with the world.

​Some of us live our passion through our businesses, but when it's time to show the world what we offer and put ourselves out there, perfectionism, self-doubt and anxiety keep us hidden, endlessly preparing, taking yet another course. Years can pass until action is taken. Ask me how I know. ;)

​Imposter Syndrome and I have met since I finished my  studies and became a Mechanical Engineer. Then again when I became a Scrum Master, then as a Group Facilitator, then as a Life Coach. Self-doubt came also when I built my Watercolor Art Business(“I didn’t even study art, who am I to…”). Even as a Hypnotherapist it tried to bug me. 

​​But here I am, doing what I love and I know it's possible also for you to build the confidence to put yourself out there and share your craft with people that are on the same wavelength.​​​

  • Think about how long you've been preparing, perfecting, waiting to feel ready. Think of all the clients who can't find you because they don't know you exist, the income you're not making because you can't bring yourself to price properly, the opportunities you skip because showing up feels too hard. A lot to think about, I know.

    Most people achieve their goal in 6-10 sessions, which comes to €480-800 total. If being visible brings you even two new clients this year, you already got your investment back.

    But the real question is about time and about how much longer do you want to spend rewriting posts you never publish, researching instead of doing, watching others show up while you stay behind the scenes?

    This work gets you unstuck so you can finally do what you came here to do, and do it soon, not after many months or even years.

  • Therapy helps you understand why you're stuck. Coaching teaches you what to do. CBT-Hypnotherapy rewires how your nervous system responds so you can actually do the thing.

    If traditional therapy or coaching didn't work, it's not because you're “not trying hard enough”, but because they weren't addressing the automatic threat response that kicks in before you even consciously decide anything.

    We're working at a different level, directly with the patterns that live in your body and brain, not just your thoughts.

  • Because it works. :)

    We're talking directly with your nervous system, retraining the automatic reactions that kick in when you try to be visible. We address what happens in your body and brain before any strategy can work. It’s not enough to know how to swim, you need to stop being afraid of water.

  • Yes, because we're not working on "business strategy." We're working on the psychological patterns that stop you from using any strategy. When perfectionism makes you rewrite everything 10 times, or imposter syndrome stops you from stating your prices, that's not a business problem, but a nervous system “glitch“. And that's exactly what CBT-Hypnotherapy addresses.

  • Hypnotherapy isn't about being "put under" or losing control. It's a tool for accessing patterns that live below your conscious awareness, the automatic reactions that kick in when you try to be visible. You don't need to "believe in it" any more than you need to believe in physiotherapy for it to help your muscles. If you can focus and relax, it works.

  • Sessions are 60 minutes, online via Zoom. €80 per session, paid one by one.

  • Yes, all sessions are taking place online, via Zoom.

  • Most people notice a shift within 3-4 sessions. People usually achieve their goal in 6-10 sessions. Endless processing is not my thing, I do focused work on specific patterns, which makes the results come faster.

  • Maybe.

No matter what you do, some will like it, some will hate it and that’s a good thing.

This work guides you to reclaim the part of yourself that knows you have something worth sharing. It's a remembering that being seen isn't vanity , but service.
