What can you do to change unwanted habits and responses?
Through Hypnotherapy, you will develop an understanding of how the brain functions. To do this, we divide the brain into two major parts—the conscious and subconscious, the intellectual mind and the emotional mind.
We focus on activating the left prefrontal cortex of the brain. This part gave humankind the ability to daydream and therefore made us creative. This is why we have aeroplanes, mobile phones and the ability to read this blog. Amongst many other things!
We look at the primitive brain. This part handles all our instinctive psychological, and biological responses. The most influential part of this is our fear centre, our fight, flight and depression area.
Yet, when we are consciously operating from the intellectual mind. We make rational choices and decisions. The main cortex is a solution based organism. Its purposes are to find the right answers based on available resources.
Cognitive flexibility depends on our emotional state. We need a constant production of the right chemicals, dopamine and serotonin, vital for our healthy mental state. But, when we are in a negative state of mind, we trigger stress hormones. This means the emotional mind, more or less, takes control.
The subconscious mind can only rely on previous patterns of behaviour and habits. Therefore our responses become dependent on our past experiences and reactions.
To break the cycle of automatic negative behavioural patterns, we look at neuroplasticity. Scientists have discovered that the brain can reprogram itself. It depends entirely on the data that we feed it.
When we change our habits, we create new neural pathways in the brain. Which will change how we think and feel. When this shift happens through repetition, it soon becomes an unconscious effort, part of our automatic programs. Through understanding our brains’ processes and inner workings, we can consciously make better choices and take control of our responses.
With a combination of powerful brain training techniques and hypnosis. I can help diminish worries and fears whilst helping you build the confidence you need to live a happy and fulfilled life.
