“The hypnotherapy sessions helped to reduce my habit of worrying/ruminating over an emotionally upsetting inter-personal family issue and to focus instead on positive thoughts and actions. It helped me to understand that my negative thinking (propensity to worry/ruminate), was based in the primitive part of my brain (the amygdala), and that there is actually a bias for negative thinking. This understanding was useful, since it helped me to stop self-blaming for my negative thought patterns.

But more importantly, learning that I had the power to control my negative thinking, by engaging the pre frontal cortex of my brain, equipped me to more easily tap into positive thoughts and feelings. This is turn, helped me to engage more positively with the inter-personal family issues that I was facing.

The hypnotherapy sessions also, importantly, helped me to understand that I could let go of the past, and not let past wrongs or upsets dictate my feelings and actions in the present.”
