Beyond Talk Therapy: How Hypnotherapy Unlocks Deep Transformation

0:00Welcome to Intuition Unleashed, a revolution in personal liberation. The GoTo podcast that helps you access intuitive guidance combined with mental health and spirituality. Let your intuition guide you and unlock a life of true liberation. And now your host, Beck Nelson. Hi everyone, welcome back to another edition of Intuition Unleashed. Today, we're going to be talking about a subject that is near and dear to me and it's sort of a little bit of a reveal, right, man? Yep. Or a lot of bit of a reveal. So I say this every time, guys. I am Beck Nelson. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and an intuitive medium and intuitive healer. And that is really important for you to know for today's show because my guest today is my friend Bryn Blankenship. Hi, Bryn.

1:00Hey, Bryn, it is actually no stranger to the transformation network because she has her own podcast on this network. And I believe you're on Wednesday evenings. Is that right? Yes, Wednesday afternoons. He threw me in for a second. Third Wednesday afternoons at 230, first and third Wednesday of the month. I am also on the first and third Thursdays of the month. Let me just let me just tell you a little bit about Bryn and then I'll tell you why I'm excited about we're actually doing a two part episode we haven't done this before and I'm going to tell you why because two hours is not even going to cover all the things that we need to go over on this episode. My friend Bryn is an award winning certified master hypnotherapist and international instructor and author specializing in personal transformational hypno regression and clinical hypnosis for personal growth and transformation.

2:01She is the creator of the soul expression spiritual regression, which she re writes about in her book the limitless soul hypno regression case studies into past and present and future lives. She also she's on many interviews on her herself on the subject is also contributed to other books and obviously has her own podcast. So let me explain why this is so exciting because Bryn and I actually first talked back in October I believe it was. And what happened was I had contacted Bryn and said hey I'd love for you to be a guest in my podcast and at the time she had something going on she actually had her whole hypnotherapy training program going on now. Long story short I had actually been looking into hypnotherapy training because I myself am a therapist I look read some books. My doctor Brian wise and I became fascinated with them and he is also it's like a hypnotherapy I mean a therapist as well right is a psychiatrist he's an empty I believe both.

3:17He was working with that patient on Catherine what's her name and he worked with her multiple times and so I also studied with Brian wise and I have a chapter in one of his books and he's a wonderful person like in person he's really genuine and he's just a really great person. And when I started to read some of his books on like I really need to maybe I could court incorporate this into my own practice and really what happened was other friends of mine had been studying various things like house clearing you know that sort of thing and or energy clearing and all sorts of things and these have been guests on my show in the past you can go back and look in past episodes. And they had always told me you know you probably have done this in your past lives and when you come into this life you just forget. And I've heard that about people who are good at what they do or love what they do that they've done this before and they realize once they started learning about it that they've already done it before they kind of just comes naturally to them or something that they really want to do and they're excited about.

4:26And I had really been waiting for something like that to happen for me so when I started reading some of these books about past life regressions or hypnotherapy I was like oh maybe that's the thing I see I just get that show and I talk about it right now and that's always our intuition talking to us. So long story short I'm like how do I train with this gentleman and I'm seeing that he only teaches maybe twice a year because he's in his seventies now and it's actually in upstate New York which would maybe be a five or six hour drive for me not it wouldn't be horrible right it's doable. So then I started as part of the transformation network I connected with Brynn who has done some of her own work trained under Dr. Weiss and has written her own book which is the cover of it is right behind her on her wall so I had I had this connection call with Brynn and I'm like come on my show and talk about this and she said well I'm about to start my whole program here her certification program. And then as we were talking she was like well I am doing the introduction class this weekend and I'm like oh wait and I remember do you remember that conversation.

5:35Oh yeah because we talked for a long time like we just started talking like we know each other for a long time and you know I was like I'm doing that and you were just lining up like I was like I've got this and then that because you were just asking me questions about. You know what can you do with this work if you study this and I've been thinking about it for a while and I'm like well I do have the intro the two day intro coming up this weekend you can test it out see if it's something you want to continue with and then we've got the next piece is coming up and you're like oh my gosh you know let's let's talk about that it became something that I at the time was you know wait up not what I thought it was going to be for that discussion and and then obviously here we are what five four five months later having these podcast episodes in a way that I did not expect this episode to be so I love that you've had you have actually had your own journey with hypnotherapy so

6:36let's go back way to the beginning and talk about hypnotherapy has become such a powerful complement to growth and healing work and so I want to talk about that and why is it such an important part in an an excellent bit for hypnotherapist but also to anybody who wants to you don't need to be hypnotherapist or any excuse me a therapist to use this so go back to the beginning talk about talk about how you begin to do this work and what drew you to it from the beginning okay so I'm going to go way back before like way back to my childhood so my father loved he was he loved the power of positive thinking I think that was Norman Norman Vincent peel and then later as after I moved out of the house or as I was a teenager I don't remember he became a hypnotherapist and focused on self hypnosis but he didn't have a practice before he even got certified he practiced on the kids at the breakfast table okay so he would just say thanks to us you know to you know flip that thought around and if you think positive then you'll be positive and on I oh gosh I have it over here but I'm not going to pull it out I have one of his business cards when he was in the nursing home we got some business cards

8:02made up that said if you think you're well you will be well and my father used to like talk to the nursing home staff and everyone and pick them up cheer them up and here we give them that card and when he passed you wouldn't believe how many people came up to me and said your father made my day I put that little card a little green card on my clipboard just to keep me in a positive frame of mind but I used things like this I had a health scare and when I was young in my 20s and I used hypnosis to reverse it mind of a matter you know don't focus on the problem focus on the solution and you know when I went back to the doctor it was gone so that intrigued me but I went in another direction so I was a legal assistant and doing that work but I'm reading those books too about you can be who you came here to be and I'm like I don't think I came here to be a legal assistant I think I came here to be an actress I know I came here to be an actress so I started studying that and you know I kept my day job and I would study that and then at some point I needed to make the change from you know I needed to make myself more available

9:23so I put myself out there and I got an agent started auditioning up and down the east coast and I was having success but and I was in an acting class and you know a lot of things were happening for me but I just felt like there was this block so I went to a hypnotherapist and I said look I need you to help me clear this past life block that's keeping me from stepping fully into being an actress and making money at it you know I don't know how I knew this although I had read some of Shirley McLean's books I really don't know how I knew to even say that or who to go to but I did and so I did this session and this session turned into a future progression and I saw a clear law went to a past life where I was a singer like opera singer throughout Europe well known my current husband was my husband then he was a statesman you know we were very affluent very connected great life but you're still singing for your supper you know I he allowed me to have a career which was really great and so because you know women didn't have this options back then

10:36and so then it went into a future progression and I saw myself standing in a field of prairie grass walking through an orchard having my pick of acting gigs and then the guides came in and said look you're going to go out for one thing and you're going to come back with with another I'm like what so I thought I was going to New York right after that session my friend who had moved out to LA called me she said Bren you need to come out here you can stay with me for three weeks you can sleep on my sofa but I have a roommate but you know you need to come out here you can do a lot of work out here I think you would have some success and I'm like no but I was going to New York and I don't know how that's going to work everything fell into place next thing you know and let me just say right before I went I had everything lined up fear set in like tremendous like I was paralyzed to the floor I wasn't going to go I told my husband I wasn't going to go

11:40so he comes out from work he was a massage therapist and he sits me down and goes look I want to talk to you if you don't do this I'm leaving you I said why like most people my husband would say don't go be an actress he's like if you don't do this and see what is possible you're going to resent and I don't want to be with you you're going to hate it and then I'm just I'm not going to I'm not going to stick around for that so I'm like and he goes oh I have to go back to work I have a client okay so I packed up the car next morning left with my head shots my suitcase full of clothes that was it so I drove out there and he goes I'm not going with you you got to do this by yourself so I drove across country met my friend in LA she I stopped in Nashville on the way this is how synchronous of he works stopped in Nashville on the way to see one of my former classmates who was a singer songwriter in Nashville she's written some great songs and she gave me the name of couple

12:45contacts out in LA and a school so I get to where I'm staying which is right down the street from the school that I'm going to be good that end up going to they just happen to have a session starting in two or three more weeks but that didn't happen quickly I get there I'm trying to figure out what to do I'm having these second downloads like you know there's intuitive moments and I'm trying to get the lay of the land my three weeks are up I'm like you know I have a couple more days I don't know what I'm going to do I guess I guess this is it and my friend comes home and she says look the room may just got a job offer in New York if you will take the her room everything furniture everything she can take the job if you say no that she can you know she can't take it because she's obligated to the lease so I said and it was something like $400 a month in Brentwood California rent control I was like and it was right down the street from the I didn't know

13:48this yet but it was right down the street from that school so I said yes then I found out about the school everything fell into place and so someone saw me in acting class because I had done a lot of training before I went out there right and I know I'm giving you the long-winded version but but it all ties in so someone saw me in class told their agent she called me and signed me on the spot I'm auditioning now three times a day sometimes four times a day every week day where before it would be one or two times a month you know and I have to drive all over I'm getting called in I'm booking jobs and I got known to where I did a lot of commercial work especially a little bit of film a little bit of TV but they called me in by name so I was like oh my gosh like they actually know my name and I realized I was I like I do the quirky roles so I was trying they were trying to

14:48homogenize me out here on the east coast because they wanted me to be corporate and serious or whatever they were calling me in for and when you try to squeeze me in that box my quirkiness comes out okay and then you know but out there it was great so I I'm standing on set I'm doing a Chevy on star commercial black and white I'm playing on today we're filming the black and the black and white day and then we're tomorrow we're going to film the color day and I finished my spot so I'm there at my trailer up on the hill with my star and I got my name on it and I'm like oh this is so cool and I step out of the trailer in my Birkenstock sandals into prairie grass down the hill there's the scene there's the tree the guy that was standing there said you better watch out with their sandals there could be snakes and I looked down I looked up had a day job a moment back to the session a year before so I'm standing in the scene that I had seen in the

15:56vision that all the things I didn't know was going to happen yet that almost didn't happen because I almost said no out of fear I mean the closer it got the more the fear came in and I realized so many things about myself you know just taking that journey so I stayed and I was out there a couple of years and my husband come out and I would come home but I um I realized I wanted to study hypnosis I wanted to do for others what I did for myself and there's a rider strike there was an actor strike so I took training and then came home and I made my husband fly out and drive back with me I'm like you're you're going to see this country and so we did and we're driving cross country he's driving and he's like and he's trying to be you know mellow about it and he's like hey do you think you're going to go back and get like an illegal job like an office job and I said oh no I'm going to be a hypnotherapist

16:58and he went what and I said specializing in past life regression he put his head down we're in the desert he could have killed me out there he put his head down took a deep breath he didn't say anything for a long time and he said okay if that's what you want to do we'll do it is it but I know it's really hard for me as a male starting my practice it is going to come to you for past life session and I said I found someone that helped me I said and what is your favorite movie if you build it they will come he just started laughing he goes okay we'll figure it out and then all these things happen I mean I started my I found I started practicing I found someone to train with got more advanced training and then went on to study past life regression and life

17:58between lives so each step I've been doing more things you know I didn't you know as it was time for me to move into that next stage from practitioner to teacher and you know and international I mean I I went pretty quickly though into inter teaching internationally with Michael Newton and the Newton Institute and I helped him set up those protocols and the trainings and have since you know I did that 20 years and then have since moved on to the work that I'm doing now you know and I and simultaneously starting the hypno regression institute which is my institute and you know teaching teaching certification in clinical and past lives before you get to life between life which Michael Newton, Roger Woolg or Brian wise they were doing that more advanced type of SI for regression.

18:59Of course I have taken your sort of all the levels of your certification course and so I've heard a bunch of years or though I think I still have assessor left right that we're going to be talking about today in this session is the things that you do that are about your present life yet no therapy and in part two which is going to be in two weeks on on March 19th we're going to talk about life between lives and past life regression so today let's talk about hypnotherapy and what is it what is it not the myths and exactly and let me just say because you touched on something really important when I'm teaching my students yes we go into past lives if we're doing that type of a session but it's or we go into childhood memories right but it's how is that going to help me now how is that going to help me with whatever issue is coming up right now so what we're doing with hypnosis is not like what you've

20:06seen on TV okay TV loves to dramatize it and we're not doing stage hypnosis that's a whole separate field that is separate from what we're doing here but when you can go into that deeper level deeper awareness inside yourself you can pull up things and bring them to the surface that are waiting to come up to be addressed to be released and let me just say two it's not always negative things okay most times people are coming in to work on some a problem they're having an issue that's holding them back but you can also go in and pull up positive attributes remember positive things from childhood like sometimes your inner child takes you by the hand takes the adult and takes them out to the park to go play they're like you're working too hard you need to remember what it's like to play you know so yeah and it's

21:07incredible to share this journey with your client to it's you and your client sitting there going through this experience and they're telling you what's happening their eyes are closed they're either in a recliner or they're laid out like on if I'm doing a zoom call they might be on a bed reclined but or in a recliner chair at their home but they are remembering this memory and pulling it up to the surface so that we can address it clear whatever the block is and then help with future pacing to help them see the future in a positive light without you know having overcome that hurdle not having that issue so it's not like what you see on TV let me just say I've been approached several times to be on documentaries and different things and some of the people that I've not worked with have wanted me to dramatize it because they're like well you know

22:08we're going to film that but like you're client you're just going to be talking or your client's going to be talking and their eyes going to be closed as but that's what it's like you know how do you want me to dramatize that and they're like well can't you do the poofy hair and the fake nails and all that no I got the beads but that's as far as I can go yeah what I as a therapist and as I was taking the course I was finding that so much of what I already did as a therapist was things that were that we did learn in hypnosis you know parts therapy etc but and I'm like wow this is what I've already been doing but it's just to learn it in a new way and to present it in a new way and I see it as so if you know anything about you know EMDR in that we use for trauma work and it's and also brain spotting that we use in therapy is about accessing different parts of your brain and bringing some of those pieces

23:11forward and that's exactly what we do in hypnotherapy as well so it's a new way to do that what's different about this is and I know you heard me say this a lot of times in class so as a therapist you're guiding your client and you're giving them more input as to what you feel they need to do to kind of direct them that way and as hypnotherapists we're not a year to tell our client what to do but in that deeper state the client already knows so with transpersonal hypnotherapy which this is the foundation of this work that I teach you are guiding that client into a deeper state of awareness where not only do they create their issue they know why they created it what's causing it and how to change it so I can guess and I might be right and I might be wrong but that's putting the responsibility on me with hypnosis the client coming up with their own

24:11solutions is putting the responsibility on them but it also empowers them right how great does that feel to know that you know I did the session I went into this deeper state I figured out why I have a fear of flying and I dealt with it and now when I fly I feel wonderful in fact every time I fly I feel a sense of freedom that I didn't used to have because I was so fearful right it's amazing it truly is and I could guess based on what they're telling me in pre-talk I could guess what I think might be the cause and you know I'm intuitive in that state I'm tuned into the client I get little hits here and there but that just lets me know that I want to right track to help guide that client and then that lets me help them find it within themselves

25:11you know to dig deep to really pull that up to the surface so there's a big difference between therapy I just want to say that because therapy is a licensed profession and we are certified training program a certification profession and we're working more at stress relief behavior modification changing habits we're coming from that approach but I will say that a lot of things that we do in some of the healing arts have made their way into the licensed professions and become like you know part of that and what else what I was going to add something to that oh I have a lot of students from varied backgrounds so a lot of my students the majority are not licensed therapist but I have many licensed therapists that have taken the program I've

26:12got some holistic MD's yoga therapist other you know healing arts practitioners energy workers people that want to enhance their skill set and add this training to it and then some people that have none of that background so they're relieved to find out that you don't have to have you know a five or six year sort of license your program to get certified in hypnosis but it is an extensive it's a 220 hour program so we cover that foundation of everything that you need to get you started I know all about those 220 hours and so and about two minutes we're going to be going to a break because believe me believe it already or not already we're halfway through but I want to talk about I know I want to talk about when we come back why traditional willpower often fails but this subconscious work becomes so powerful in helping people and and pretty quickly within a one or two sessions sometimes

27:16that I've been seeing even with the smoking cessation that it's it's miraculous and what's the difference here what are people missing and why is it that this is the way to tap into that and there's people that like they sort of know better and yet they keep repeating the same pattern so how does getting into your subconscious during hypnotherapy sessions what is that change that is that support lasting change rather than sort of this temporary thing and you know why are we why is this actually so much more powerful so I want to talk about that when we come back so we can talk about real practical uses and who hypnotherapy really is for when we come back from the break Hey everybody oh my goodness we have got talk radio for all of them really thank you for blazing the trail for women in talk radio and just

30:23all sensationalized and brinbleck was just talking about how she was asked to do that when she was if she was talking on a show about it because you know what we have to play to our audience that's how you're going to keep people in the seats if you have to know more about this right it's not about making you click like a chicken or if I call you in the middle of the night that you can get up and clean your bathroom or something like that so let's talk about how hypnotherapy actually makes lasting change how does it why does will power often fail brin but the subconscious the work we do with the subconscious works is so much more successful okay so will power so I don't know somewhere back in time in the 1900s mid 1900s the whole thing about will power you can do it if you just have will power in fact on it will kind of in the hypnosis field and the field of psychology and positive

31:23thinking that if you just have the will power you can make it happen well sometimes you're you're it's like heavy your shoes little shoelaces tied together and trying to walk like you keep tripping up over yourself because you need to untie the shoelaces to move forward it you have the will power to move forward but you have to untie what's blocking you right so you could you can listen to a recording or say an affirmation every day for a month right give yourself 30 days to repeat that affirmation and change your life and these things do work because the repetition sinks down into the brain you know you're getting bombarded with like it used to be 10,000 units I can't even imagine with social media and all the stuff how many message units or bombarding your brain so you can repeat an affirmation and hope it breaks through and you know you make that one change that's in

32:28the affirmation but how many times have you listened to a recording if you've if you've done those kinds of things you listen for a month and then something happened and you you went back to the old habit what we're doing with hypnosis is we're making a connection we are like through the thread of your soul's history current life back to childhood even past lives but we're focusing on current life we're going back through time to pinpoint the thing that happened because your subconscious mind stores habits behaviors on all the subconscious your heartbeat all the things that keep your body running and memories so you can go back through time and access that point that that thing happened and then it's as if it slows down time so that you can see it better because when we ask that moment now and then our mind remembers it later it speeds

33:30all up and it jumbles it up but when it slows it down and spreads it out you remember other things that were happening other things that were said but you only took in the negative part or only remember the negative part that was holding you back so let's just say like public speaking I have a lot of people that come for sessions for that right so public speaking a client might you know go back through time to when they're in the fifth grade and and I had several that have gone to the fifth grade and they're standing up in front of the class and this is them under hypnosis telling me where their issue began so under hypnosis they're saying I'm standing up in front of the class I'm giving a presentation they're all laughing at me and I'm humiliated okay I want you to go back to the beginning of that memory and slow it down and you're going to find that you can tell me even

34:34more so upon examination they realize that these two kids in the back of the class are passing notes they're not even paying attention to what she's saying they're passing notes and you know they're laughing at each other and with the writing of the notes so now it's like they weren't even paying attention to you there's a whole other thing but understanding that and slowing it down her self-consciousness that she was feeling in that moment could be put to rest and neutralized so we're neutralizing those negative emotions that someone felt during that experience that are holding them back into their 30s 40s you know this one of the people I worked with her job as a nurse was to talk to the sales reps for the equipment and go back and report back to the entire nursing staff and the medical doctors who didn't have

35:37time to sit down with the reps so this she would stand up to speak and just feel her face turned blood red and not make eye contact while she's trying to explain to them what she had discovered about this you know multi hundred thousand dollar equipment that they were going to you know be paying for and she said you know I don't want to feel like that so I worked with her and we neutralized that and I said to help with future pacing I said it's important for you to see your role in this she said well they rely on me so we built that up right they rely on her to get the information and report it back to them because they're too busy as doctors seeing patients to sit down and do this so I you know I had her see yourself in the future standing tall and proud sharing the information being able to look around the room and make eye contact and she was able

36:38to do that right I've had people do their dissertations and they're like you know I just left my body I stood up there in front of everyone I left my body I came to and walked away I don't even know what I said and you know we we worked on that so that for future presentations they were able to be more present because you know I said you spent all this time working on that project you know your stuff you wrote that now don't let the nerves knock you out of the way so that's a big one nerves and stress here I mean I don't know if you want me to talk about some of the things that people come the info sessions for you reading my mind yes what are some of the common things that people do come in for most common smoking cessation not I would say not as much for smoking now as it was you know early on

37:41the fewer people are smoking but they do come in for vaping vaping chewing tobacco all of that same category but I would say that was on a bigger category when I first started out then now you know and my students still do that those type of sessions but more so weight release sports performance fears and phobias you know sleeping better and destressing like being a stress management destressor because people carry so much stress but they don't know how to release it clients say that when they're in the chair that's the most relaxed they ever felt I can take them into hypnosis and bring them out and do no therapy and they would be much more relaxed just having gone there so we're also retraining them of how to relax because this is something that they do I mean you got to sleep every night you're passing through the

38:43hypnotic field to go deeper and when you're waking up in the morning you're passing through it as you're emerging so helping them to sleep through the night I had I had one student she had she mentioned to me that she had restless legs syndrome that's what made her note and then when I needed a demo I said okay I'm gonna ask you if you'd like to be the demo for that she said sure so we took her back to where it started and she said I'm running away like my legs are feeling they have to run away I have so much happening so much and not bad things but just a lot happening so we worked with it and we talked to her legs and we took the energy out of her legs that made it want to run and we helped ground her and feel more you know secure and she went home and she's like you're not gonna believe it I didn't have restless

39:43legs that night or any other night and my husband he couldn't believe it either and I'm like just another day at the office I love it what I remember specifically about the train one of the things I remember about the training lots of things was that you don't call thing people things that people are diagnosed with you don't use that terminology exactly so we are not at medical practitioners so I teach my students from the beginning to not use medical terminology let that be for the doctors and the psychiatrists and the psychologists and you know that we also don't want to re-anchor the issue so a cluster of symptoms becomes labeled with this medical term so when the client comes in yes restless like syndrome so I have to say the words so they know I

40:45know that we're on the same page and we're working on the same thing but then that's it once we go into it I don't want to re-anchor any further restless legs syndrome that has been put into her mind as a thing and so once we start shifting around some of the symptoms with behavior modification and taking the energy and the stress out of there kind of extracting it so to speak it becomes a whole nother medical term anyway because it's not the same cluster of symptoms but I don't worry about that I don't worry about the medical thing I just know this cluster of symptoms came together to give this client this issue even if it's not a medical term right but whatever it is that cluster of symptoms is going to shift now because we've changed them so we're talking a weight release you know it's weight release not we release because we can let

41:45it go instead of loss if we lose it we might find it again it's kind of an old hypnosis play on words but I think there's some validity to that and so if someone says you know brin I feel like and I'm listening in pre-talk to the things the clients saying and they might say for weight release you know I feel like if I look at food I gain weight let me make a note of that you're telling yourself that every time I look at food I gain weight you are telling your body to gain weight each time you look at food so we want to re-frame that slip that around so that you're not you're not thinking that way a person that's not carrying extra weight doesn't think that way a person that doesn't carry the extra weight eats the appropriate portion of the appropriate food for their body and then they don't think about it anymore they move on if they have

42:46a cookie they have a cookie and they move on the person who is worried about their weight has a bite cookie and still talking about it two weeks later when they come in for a session to talk with me about the cookie they had last month you know like you're you're telling your body these negative things and your body believes it and so as you're not holding that in your energy field it's shifting your behavior it's shifting habits and you you start to look for other ways to be more positive and think in positive ways what other things can I release that no longer serve me besides the way and the worry you remind me of that the book that we're required to read for the certification the power of the subconscious mind yes it's fascinating because and I it it actually takes both from the Bible and and says how these are actually

43:46talking about the way that we talk to each other and our subconscious mind believes whatever we tell it good or bad yes and we're why not feed it good thoughts why not feed your mind with prosperous thoughts why take on a challenge to do something to release weight or start a new job or find you know the right partner you know or something that you want you know like the triathlon we just have the triathlon here why take on that challenge expecting to fail right that you're just like moving forward the bag of rocks in a sack over your shoulder let go of the bag of rocks so you can move forward so I I worked with someone who was doing this was many years ago and they were doing the triathlon and they were concerned because they were older than the 20 year olds I'm not

44:49going to say held but they were they were he was older and he was in his mind he's comparing himself to the 20 year olds and he you know triathlon what is it biking swimming and running so he's like swimming is my worst category that's at the bottom of what I'm good at so we got to into hypnosis we got in there and we found out that he felt like his coach walking next to him was just like yelling at him while he's swimming in the water and he's swimming at the beach so you know walking along the beach swimming at him yelling at him so I said you're going to swim through the water like a dolphin and the words that your coach is saying are just going to sink right in you're going to understand them and you're just going to glide along like a dolphin and I did some other things with the cycling I think was this top category and then they're jogging

45:51so I only saw him one time a referral from a friend who said hey she might be able to help you so I get this call and he's like you're not going to believe it I won I won my category I won against the whole class and my individual I beat out the 20 year olds oh because I said well you have the 20 year olds don't have his experience they're younger and their bodies are different but you have experience and that's going to guide you in ways beyond imagination or something like that right so he won and not only did he win but his swimming moved up close it was either one or two like that became higher on the chart which you know it was really surprising because it was way way down at the bottom so I don't know what the client needs but they're telling me what the problem

46:55is and they're telling me what they need and then we're going to reframe it in a way that's going to leave them to a positive outcome and so you know I don't also didn't want to interfere with what his coach was telling him I don't know what the coach is saying I mean I know he was telling me a few things but I want both me and the coach to be supporting the client to have a positive outcome so you know we did and it was great I love it when you know I love these kinds of things I had another client fear of flying I've had set you know many fear of flying but we found out that this one person used to fly all the time for their job and then they had a child I think they had two children still flew but one time and so many years have passed and now they still have this fear of flying one time the child was sick with a cold or something like that but they still had to go on business and felt terrible leaving their sick

47:58child at home and ever since then couldn't fly you know a lot of times would have to drive plan to leave the day before for business meetings that they could have easily flown to in 45 minutes so we cleared that you know so it's fascinating and I need to just clarify too I'm not doing the individual clinical sessions anymore but my students are so I refer out to the students but these are from my personal experiences with clients and this is what I teach in the class you know for any kind of an issue any kind of an issue that someone's dealing with and smoking cessation often brings up other stuff weight release often brings up other stuff that are kind of underlying the bigger issue smoking cessation vaping digitally out of habit and awaited distress it's really not distressing the body but we've told ourselves that it is and so you know breaking that pattern you can change that

49:01and you can walk out as a non-smoker and then usually we do a reinforcement just to let you go home and be in your environment and come back in and notice that you didn't smoke and if you did have an urge what was happening at the moment that made you feel that way so we could go ahead and clear that out so the thing that differs between traditional therapy and hypnotherapy is that once you get into those deeper realms you're able to recall or connect with the first time this happened and the emotional charge that was involved with it and to clear it in a way that you wouldn't necessarily be able to recall in that in that way during traditional therapy right because in your mind you know like if I was if you were if you were my therapist back and you're asking me a question I about an issue I might tell you it started when I was 15

50:01I might think it was this but under hypnosis so I might tell you that in pre-talk but under hypnosis going back further we might find out that it actually happened when I was eight the first time that I started feeling that way and then it compounded with each time and kind of became an issue at the age of 15 right that happens with their clients too I mean in pre-talk they think it's they think the issue started at one point it's just under hypnosis we can go further and I did experience that you know with the clients that I've been working with I told you about the one that I work with who did smoking cessation and he did tell me during pre-talk that he thought it was when he was you know with his group of his friends when he was in a party in high school and he wanted to look cool and they were passing around a cigarette but during hypnosis he actually talked about his grandfather when he was eight had camels smoked camels

51:02and he tried it and it is when he was he was staying in the grandpa of his house one time he picked it up on the astray and tried one and like he that's not so he wouldn't have remembered that Exactly and also it has the myth you said grandpa so it has the memory of grandpa attached to it like why do I do this thing when I tell my my mind says this is not good for me it's because emotionally we've attached something to it like this is something that's good for me this is the way I relax in this case this reminds me of grandpa makes me feel closer to him and so that's a way to break that habit change the habit you can still be close to your grandpa you don't have to do the thing that's not good for your body or that you've outgrown or you know if you had a snack when you came home from school every day after school because your mom had a snack for you that's great

52:04but that might not be the best thing for you to be doing as an adult because you're not running around playing the way you were when you were a kid or maybe the quantity of the snack could be downsized as the adult instead of sometimes as the adult we make it even bigger because we don't have the parent going no you can't have that much so you can break that pattern which was fine for the 10-year-old 8-year-old 10-year-old but it's really not serving the 30-year-old who is trying to release the baby weight or the excess weight or even you know somebody whoever somebody after a surgery that put on weight because they're not as mobile and now they're trying to get up and get around and it kind of got into some habits they want to change because they were eating some things they wouldn't want to eat you can help someone to recover more quickly from surgery by having them go into the surgery seeing the doctor being prepared

53:05knowing what he needs to know to do the surgery knowing that in that deeper state you will be aware if something you give the client the suggestion that if they need to be aware of something and be alert they will and otherwise they can relax and let the surgical team do their thing and then have them coming through the surgery doing well doing really you know recovering quickly easily, smoothly getting back to their life even better than before and it sticks when you do that and what people don't understand is they say just because I think something is going to happen or it's going to have a better outcome means that I can actually affect it to have a better outcome and it's more than just this simple thought right? It's not a fleeting thought like oh something positive is going to happen no you are actually bringing alive the emotions attached to how it would feel to have that

54:06how great it will feel to have that happen which of course are the foundations of manifesting yeah putting yourself in that energy and so when so what breakthroughs do you see people experience when they use hypnotherapy and even in combination with hypnotherapy? I mean some of my some of my therapist students continue their therapy practice and add hypnotherapy and then some of them are moving out of that field and just want to do hypnosis right and then my non therapist clients it just adds more tools to the toolbox we're not just talking at the client you know and getting into our heads but we're aligning mind body spirit when you hear a mind body spirit all the time but we're actually aligning that so that your client can feel that from their solar plexus all the way up to the crown

55:06and everything's more in alignment so things are flowing smoother they're clearer and they're on the mental clutter that alone is huge just releasing the mental clutter this all sounds very woo woo but there's actually science to back it up people exactly so believe it or not we are at the end of episode one where we talk about so what advice would you give to some to a listener who wants to try it in a little president?
