Licensed Hypnotherapist Ellen Haines joins me on this episode to unpack what hypnotherapy is and how it can be used as a powerful tool for changing thoughts and behaviors. Ellen's holistic practice is far from the hoaky hypnotist experience that we all seemed to have at a school event. In our conversation, she breaks down the neurobiology behind hypnosis and describes the intersection between therapy, hypnosis, and meditation. She also shares what her personal journey with yoga and meditation has been like and how it continues to shape her career.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• How childhood experiences impact the way we view the world as adults

• Taking the pressure off of yourself to have the 'perfect' mediation practice

• What you can expect from a hypnotherapy session with Ellen

• Examples of how hypnosis allows us to create new thought patterns and belief systems

• The relationship between mindfulness and meditation
