When you listen to those who light you up, they can teach you things. You learn how to do things better, more efficiently, and more thoroughly. But you also bring in past experiences to the table that reinforce beliefs preventing you from becoming who you desire. So I want to delve into this a little today and demonstrate why it’s difficult to change into who you want to be when you’re trying to do so from a space of being who you are right now.

You might be surprised by the topic of today’s episode. Clients come to me because they’re prepared to eliminate unpleasant and uncomfortable thoughts and beliefs that cause them emotional discomfort. So why would I, a certified hypnotist, say that you can’t eliminate all bad feelings with hypnosis? What’s the point of hypnosis then? In this episode, I elaborate on why hypnosis isn’t meant to get rid of unwanted feelings and how those feelings actually serve you. 

4:07 - What’s the point of bad feelings and why you shouldn’t seek to eliminate them anyway

7:07 - Why you can’t eliminate all bad feelings even with hypnosis

7:52 - What can be done with hypnosis regarding your unwanted feelings

8:22 - How you could’ve formed beliefs that led to your negative emotions

9:38 - How a client’s “I’m not good enough” belief developed and even caused physical symptoms

We’ve all been conditioned to use willpower to make a goal or a vision happen. Nike’s famous slogan is a prime example. But willpower serves as a function of our present, conscious awareness which can only process so much information at once. If you try to use it while you’re stressed, then your mind will prioritize safety and security over anything else first. So in this episode, I want to talk about the difference between will and willpower and how to use your intent and will to get what you want.

3:00 - An example of how your mind directs you toward what it feels will meet your needs

6:05 - The two things that come into play when you make a decision

7:00 - The crucial difference between will and willpower

8:01 - A couple of examples of how I used my intent and will to get what I wanted

18:01 - The other key component you must keep in mind when using intent and will

There’s a myth or misconception about how hypnosis works that I want to clear up. When you have certain expectations or make assumptions about the process, you may not get the results you want. But your free will to choose is one of the most powerful assets you have. So today, I want to talk about your free will and why it can prevent hypnotic suggestions from working for you.

2:58 - An example to showcase the power of free will, even in the face of hypnosis

5:35 - What I say to people who have trouble committing to the elimination of their problem and what their answer reveals

7:37 - Why hypnosis can’t override your free will

8:13 - Why my free will overtook my initial motivation to self-identify as a runner

10:34 - Getting clear on what hypnosis can help you with

I know from my nursing background that a predictable, stable environment is paramount to a child’s sense of safety and security. But everything since the beginning of the pandemic has been a challenge. Even with things opening back up, it’s created this perfect storm of desperation that has kids and adolescents in greater danger of suffering a mental health crisis.

In recent weeks, I’ve received several questions about how to help children adjust to current life. Since I don’t work with kids in teams, I’m doing a two-part series and bringing on some special guests to offer their guidance and perspective. In this episode, I speak with certified life coach Ben Pugh who specializes in helping parents build meaningful relationships with their teenagers, without changing them.

4:29 - How to get creative with the old adage of “be the change you want to see”

7:57 - Why parents think that giving teenagers two acceptable choices doesn’t work

11:12 - How to emotionally support a teen who’s taking on some unhealthy behaviors

15:42 - The only thing you can control as a parent

20:05 - Effective, supportive actions you can take that your teen will likely accept

24:31 - How my husband and I let go of control of our eldest teenager and the lesson learned

26:51 - What so many parents are choosing to do right now (and what you should do instead)

29:20 - Highlighting the theme that’s been running throughout this entire episode

I’ve noticed a pattern with some of my clients. They come to me in their mid 50s to early 60s with a specific goal around their career or business and just feel a lot of resistance to getting things done. Then in the process of working together, they end up changing their minds about what they really want. An exercise I did in a group coaching program provided me with some insight as to why this happens. In this episode, I share those insights, which I also use in my own subconscious work with clients.

1:22 - Why some of my clients change their mind about what they really want

2:32 - The question I always ask clients who are having difficulty gaining clarity

3:16 - What I discovered in the unusual vision casting exercise that sparked this topic

9:13 - What it all comes down to when you shed old beliefs
