And the problem is most people, the shit is just still sitting in the bowl. Sorry for the graphics, but it's just sitting there for a long time. And it doesn't matter how shitty it was. It doesn't matter how long ago it happened or how significant it was. Here's the proof right here.
If someone feels that something that happened in the past is a contributor or a cause to why they're stuck or whatever their problem might be today, then they have to realize that's something they learned. So they acquired a limitation. They acquired a limiting belief. They acquired an unhealthy or disempowering association or perception.
They learned it, which means they can unlearn it, because the brain is always remodeling itself based on how it's used. And if you're constantly using a poor me story or you know, building your identity around your problems. I'm an addict. I'm an alcoholic. I'm a, you know, a cancer survivor. I was a victim of abuse, whatever it might be.
I feel bad that people go through those things, but such is life. The reality is whatever happened is just what happened. But how someone responds to it and what they learn from it is an individualized thing. There are people who can go through identical traumatic experiences and one person comes out of it fairly unscathed. That may be rare, but it happens.
And then someone else can be driven to do drugs and suicide. Those are extremes. Most people are somewhere in between. But that means it's not what happened. So it doesn't matter how effed up the life was. It's what you learned. And if you learned to...
to feel that you're not enough, or that you can't trust anyone, or that someone's just waiting to screw you, or that you don't deserve to be successful, or that if you do, someone's gonna take it away, or you get a lot of sympathy and support for being stuck as much as you think you wanna change it, all of those things can interfere with someone moving on from those issues.
The reason why talking about it doesn't usually fix it is because dialogue, analysis, all this conscious level, you know, talking, like I said, it's appropriate for some people. It's useful for some people. It's just not an efficient way of dealing with subconscious issues. That's all conscious level dialogue. It's limiting. It's like the tip of the iceberg.
The problem is the massive ice underneath the water that you can't see, but you know is there. So hypnotists, we just change how people think. We don't make them do anything different. We don't control their mind. We give them back control of their mind, which is what they would have had that effed up thing not happened.
Gina, do you want to talk about the one who was trafficked by her mom?
And that was over the course of several weeks, right? So that was like, he saw her less than like a month and a half, two months, something like that, right?
So the point is, some people say, well, if it happens too quickly... then it can't be real. I mean, some of the trauma work we do is, I mean, you know this, Heather, with some of the stuff we've done. I don't remember specifically any of it because I think we first met probably 15 years ago or something like that. That's when we first started doing stuff. But
There are certain techniques that we do, that Gina and I do, with really upsetting memories. Whether they're childhood memories or something that just happened. Like I had a client who caught her husband in their bed having sex with her friend. So she was actually diagnosed with PTSD by a psychologist from that. So she wanted to reconcile with him. She couldn't because...
she couldn't forgive him because the images of him screwing another woman in her bed kept popping into her mind i had another client who was cheating on her husband with this guy and she wanted to stop consciously but subconsciously the sex was really good and she kept thinking of this guy as this amazing guy next to her boring husband and you know and and you know lots of examples someone who's whose brother died suddenly of cancer and the doctors missed it and then he died and she from that point on had years of
not only grief but terrifying fear that she would die or someone would die on her all of these things may be irrational but we can't just strong arm ourselves and force ourselves to change because if the subconscious wants it or believes it it's going to get it otherwise there wouldn't be addictions no one would be smoking no one would be overweight we would just say oh eat more kale eat less cookies
That's easy, let's do it. I mean, I'd still be a nutritionist if it were that easy, because I did that in the late 90s and realized that all this great advice I was giving was not making any difference. But some of the traumatic memory work we do can be minutes.
You know, I don't know, I wasn't there in that session Gina had with that young lady who was trafficked by her mom. But, you know, I know we use the same, you know, she and I are equally capable and we use the same techniques and the same methods. And sometimes people will go from being visibly agitated when they remember something that happened.
They might be crying, they might, you know, have their heart rate increase, whatever. That's as painful as it gets, only for a couple minutes, and then very often, two, three, five minutes later, the person's either laughing about it or just totally not even feeling anything.
They still remember what happened, but the emotional evidence, the emotional symptom, the emotional effects of that memory just has changed. They still know it happened, but they just feel different about it. And once that thorn is removed, from their mind, basically, then it's much easier to change the underlying beliefs, like in the example Gina gave. Oh, I guess I am worthy.
Because as long as she had those strong memories, emotionally charged memories, her subconscious had proof that she wasn't good enough or that she wasn't worthy of love or whatever beliefs she picked up. Once the emotional energy is drained from that memory, and this is just one of a number of tools we use, but once that happens, It's like the world is open to someone thinking differently.
And that's where a lot of the hypnosis comes in at that point, is helping to change their underlying belief. We do that through everything from visualizations to hypnotic storytelling to all kinds of different things. And most of the time, the change sticks. And it's really amazing and it's just wonderful that
