You Don't Need To Be A Different Person (Here's What Actually Works)

“Once I began to realize that there were no rules and that my path didn’t have to look like everyone else’s, I relaxed and my whole world opened up.”

– G. Brian Benson, award-winning author and inspirational speaker

Changing your life in meaningful ways (so that you can feel enjoyment, satisfaction, and the absence of anxiety) doesn’t mean becoming a whole new you.

Despite the  “New Year, New You” messaging we all hear in our culture, or the continual before-and-after stories we see about those who’ve seemed to transform themselves, change just means bringing out the tools, thoughts, dreams, goals, and beliefs you already have inside you.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I often repeat how complete and whole we all are all the time. It’s just that sometimes when you’re really struggling, a wounded, scared, or confused part of you is driving the bus.

The ticket to uncovering the parts of you that can help you get where you want to go in life is to soothe, heal, and nourish those struggling parts of you. 

It’s not about shaming yourself, belittling your behavior, or letting your loud Inner Critic run the show. Most of us intend to behave in healthy ways that enrich our lives and our families. It’s not like we aspire to struggle with addiction, control, or self-destruction. 

There’s ALWAYS a reason you are doing the thing you don’t want to do—and it’s often because a part of you is in protection mode. 

We use those unhelpful coping skills and behaviors to protect ourselves from:

• Vulnerability and visibility—being seen can be scary, especially if it wasn’t safe to show who you really were as a kid, teen, or young adult.
• Big emotions—which can make you feel like the world is about to end and you just won’t survive the onslaught. (Spoiler alert, you WILL survive and all feelings are temporary—even the good ones!) 
• Rejection—if we’re numb, busy all the time, distracted, or self-sabotaging, we don’t have to feel excruciating feelings of rejection from other people.  

When you’re stuck in a behavior cycle you cannot escape on your own, it’s CRUCIAL (and shame-free) to ask for help. One way to get that help is through hypnotherapy.

This gentle resource helps you: 

1. disarm your fierce protectors without threatening or triggering them, 
2. heal those hidden wounded or confused parts of you, and 
3. practice new and healthy messages and actions until they feel as second-nature as your harmful habits do.

I’ve opened up my schedule in May for a handful of private hypnotherapy clients to begin or continue this life-elevating work.

Spring is such a beautiful time to embrace what’s possible for you and prioritize your peace and wellbeing!

In highest care and support,
