Am I way off here? I would say that it's really, really similar because... I would see it as like feeding your unconscious or feeding your subconscious because right when you wake up, you're in a hypnotic state. So you're in that state of speed learning, you know, where your mind is more receptive. And right before you fall asleep, you're in that state as well.

So you're doing this in a hypnotic state and you're visualizing, you're bringing up those positive feelings. You're less than two minutes, you know, so your mind isn't wandering. You can focus on it. I would say it's extremely similar.

Yeah, I was thinking about her. So I had a client come to me with... literally like two pages of symptoms. You know, she thought they were problems, but they were actually symptoms. And so in a consultation, she said, I'd love to improve all these things. And initially I was like, Oh God,

But, um, when I really looked at it and I explained it to her, I said, these are all just symptoms, you know, like if, if we know what card or two to pull from the bottom, the whole house of cards comes tumbling down without having to go one by one, which also takes a lot of time. So she was apparently trafficked by her mother, um,

to a guru, you know, she was part Indian from India and her mother was seeking enlightenment. And it was just like BS guru, right? That was just full of crap. And, you know, she ended up giving him everything, like everything she had pretty much. And then one day she was like, well, I've given you everything. Where's my enlightenment? And he said, you haven't given me everything.

You haven't given me your daughter. So that's how it started. And for her whole teenage years, she was being raped by this man, lost her virginity to this man. And so... What's interesting is that, like Todd was saying, it's not what happens, it's our reaction to it. It's what our mind associates with that.

So what's super fascinating is that the trauma wasn't with the guru or him doing that to her. That was a little bit of it. And we worked on some of that. The real trauma was with her mother. And what she learned as a result of her mother doing that, because her mother was very disempowered and her mother was desperate. And I understand that not defending what she did, but I get it on that level.

And so when we worked on the beliefs that she had learned as a result of her own mother doing this, like, I really must not be worthy. She doesn't care about how I feel. I must be worthless. I mean, she's giving me to this stranger and she knows I'm young. And so, um, you know, we worked on all those beliefs and once all, and that was her real anxiety. And so she was overweight.

She was this, she was having all these issues. She wanted to eat more fruits and not eat so much candy. And so all these symptoms got better. And except she named, she had a fear of sharks, which I additionally told her, you know, that's like a totally different program. And, you know, I don't think that's going to improve with what we're doing. And she understood that, but

you know her last session she was i went out to greet her in the in the waiting area and she was highlighting things and i thought she was doing something for school or whatnot and she comes in she highlighted everything that had gotten better everything that had gotten better and it was every single symptom and she was just like oh my gosh she's blown away like that was one of the most fulfilling times i work with someone because

She was raped dozens and dozens of times. So you don't have to go to each and every one. It's what you learn from the experience, how you feel about it and shifting that at the subconscious level, because that's where the emotions are. That's where our beliefs are. That's where our imagination is. That's where our bad habits are. So when you approach it on that level, change happens very quickly.

Anxiety, fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of success, meaning like once I have it, what if I lose it? Or what are people going to think of me once I reach a certain level, right?

Procrastination is also a big one, procrastinating.

Because all those also serve as a distraction to not only just to help yourself feel better, but just to, you know, not think about it for a while, like an escape, like, you know, so you don't have to. think about it or, and then feel bad about it. And so that part of us is just trying to help us. It's not trying to make us feel stuck or lost or anything. It's just trying to help.

I think it also helps to bring up a feeling too, you know, when you're picturing the goal you want and the outcome you want, instead of just picturing it, trying to make it as real as you can, you know, um, including how you would feel once you're there, you know, so bringing up that feeling is a good way to like connect the thought and the feeling together so that when you're actually there and that experience that was troublesome before, it feels like you've already done it.

Meaning bring up the feeling of the fear or bring up the feeling of the positive feeling of the way that you want it to go. The positive feeling, like how you'd feel once you get there and make it strong and make it real. Because the mind doesn't know the difference between something real and something imagined.

So the more you can make it real, including feeling how you would feel once you're there, the more convinced your mind can be that you've already accomplished it, which means it should be easy to do. Wait, now I just, this just triggered a memory for me.
