Ever felt like your emotions are the puppeteers pulling your strings, dictating every move and thought?
 
Say goodbye to that illusion as I reveal the secrets to owning your feelings, rather than being owned by them.
This episode takes a deep dive into the misconceptions surrounding our emotions and the profound truth that they do not define us.

We dissect the intricate dance between sensations and thoughts, and how our brain's prediction errors can lead us down a spiral of constant anxiety. But don't fret—there's a way out, and it's simpler than you think.

Let's discuss the power of breaking habitual reactions to stress and the importance of distinguishing between being in the grip of an emotion versus merely anticipating its onset.

By weaving mindfulness and hypnosis into our daily routines, we can navigate life's turbulence with newfound ease.

Join us and reshape your relationship with your inner world.
