Nervous System Regulation with Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to use in daily life when stressors are building up, and when past trauma and fears are especially disturbing our nervous system.

We hear, read, talk alot about Nervous Systems and Regulation techniques. However the interesting things is that we cannot touch a nervous system.
Like the mind, it's an energetic form that has a very potent role in our existence.
One definition of The Nervous System is: the network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body.
We might hear ourself say things like: I'm feeling really stressed. I'm dreading my appointment tomorrow.
I can't seem to catch my breath. I almost fainted thinking about it. I'm having trouble sleeping. My thoughts won't stop all the time.
I'm afraid to socialize. I keep getting memories of (traumatic event.) And much more.
Depending on how much someone has learned about themselves and their systems, you might not even be aware of how often your nervous system is being impacted throughout the day with all the thoughts, experiences, conversations, and environmental factors.
We are aware of our nervous system when we feels much more stressed than usual, or when we're having trouble with important functions such as eating or sleeping.
Some people's behaviors become excessive and even addictive when the nervous system is being impacted in the effort to subdue the discomfort.
One thing is certain: When our nervous system is impacted, it's not comfortable. We feel the discomfort, the suffering, and want it to stop.
It could be a dental appointment, a new job, a loss, or more.
In session with Hypnotherapy, we can intentionally calm the nervou system by shifting brainwaves creating more relaxation and spaciousness. When the brainwaves shift to theta state, several body systems are allowed to realign. Our breathing can become more open and smooth. Our muscles begin to relax. We gain access to the subconscious part of the mind so that we can write new neural pathways around the cause of the stress.
Perhaps past trauma has created an automatic panic response within the nervou system in reaction to dental work. This is a very common one. Many people suffer with dental fear. I've worked with many clients to help them reframe their past experiences, attach new associations that are healthy and more at ease, and offer tools and skills to bring more calm both before and during the dental appointment. I need to bring myself into Theta state due to past dental trauma, so I know how intense it can be experienced and the impact of trauma on the body and mind.
In Theta state, we can integrate emotional experiences and create intentional changes to the nervous system and our behaviors. Clients learn to use Imagery, NLP Anchoring, even counting (my favorite,) and other methods to calm the nervous system and rewrite the anticipatory response that was previously wired.
Phobias, fears, and trauma can be modulated and the impact decreased with a desire to learn, consistency, and practice. We might think that a certain response is past until suddenly when faced with that trigger our body and mind begin a trauma response.
Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to use in daily life when stressors are building up and weighing heavily on us. Perhaps our job is intense, or our relationship is struggling, a family member is sick, or we just started our own business. There's a number of factors that can create the need to learn and practice Nervous System Regulation tools and skills. Everyone experiences these shifts and behaviors, and Hypnotherapy is one of the most potent approaches to regain Empowerment.
