the science of hypnosis + change
Homeostasis.
Homeostasis is our innate unconscious drive to “stay the same” and resist all changes at a subconscious level. While we may have a desire to change our feelings, reactions, or habits, at a deeper level our subconscious defense mechanisms work to preserve the status quo and resist all conscious efforts to change. So while talking, planning, discussion and rational understanding of behavior are all important concepts, they don’t address our subconscious need to sabotage our success and efforts to change.
Neuroplasticity.
On a personal, spiritual, and behavioral level, neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change throughout an individual’s life. Our ability to change beliefs, emotional responses, and behavioral habits is dependent on the flexibility of or our mind. I use hypnosis, Imagery, NLP, mindfulness, and more to facilitate the internal, emotional, and behavioral flexibility needed to overcome homeostasis and release the subconscious need to sabotage success or resist the desire for change.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state that we all enter in and out of all day long. It happens when we do things like watch TV, listen to music, drive, daydream, and every time we fall asleep and wake up. It’s a state of learning, where information is more easily accepted by your subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy harnesses this natural state to get the right messages to your subconscious that will allow you to begin to make the changes you want to see in your life.
Your subconscious mind influences every aspect of your life
From birth to about 9 years old, your brain is identifying things and making associations to them. Good and bad, positive and negative. The majority of these associations are created before your brain is equipped with skills like reason and logic and then stored away in the subconscious, ultimately becoming your life script.
Your life script and subconscious beliefs are the driving forces that create your version of reality. They control how you think and feel. They create your self-esteem, identity, and attitudes. They determine the limits you put on yourself, what you believe you’re capable of, and what you believe you can have. They influence how you speak to yourself and others, how you respond and react in situations and relationships, and ultimately, the actions and choices that you make every day which create your life.
The distorted and unhelpful associations and stories stored in your subconscious mind are what keep you feeling stuck and unable to change. They keep you in your comfort zone and self-sabotaging again and again. They make change feel impossible, goals feel unattainable, and deep desires feel hopeless.
But our brains can change!
Discoveries in neuroscience have shown us that we can change our brains. Thanks to neuroplasticity, we’re able to reprogram our subconscious beliefs, change our subconscious associations, and ultimately rewrite our life scripts.
Hypnosis is the gateway to this change. We’re able to dissolve the neural connections that keep us stuck on the same unhealthy behavioral loops and form new ones that support our goals and lead to healthier thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Creating positive changes in all areas of your life that allow you to move forward, toward your goals, without resistance, fear, and self-sabotage.
