Years ago, when I broke my wrist, I couldn’t help but notice that every third person seemed also to have a cast. When I was pregnant, it seemed the whole world was also pregnant. My brain was so in tune with what was happening for me that I could suddenly see it everywhere. 

I recently learned that scientists are talking about the part of your brain (the reticulus) that runs like a social media algorithm. 

That’s also social media works. If you are more liberal or conservative, your social media is filled with biased confirmation postings rather than alternative views on a topic. If you look at a pair of shoes online, your inbox and social media overflow with the same shoe. Relentlessly.

The human brain does the same thing. It searches for and echoes your perspectives and interpretations. It doesn’t matter what they are as much as the weight you give them. The more you focus on something, the more information you receive to support what you believe. 

We find what we seek. Good or bad, it’s on its way.

This finding about the brain supports how hypnotherapy can help you. The more you tell your story to yourself, i.e., “my mother never loved me,” “the world is against me,” the more confirmation you will find. With hypnotherapy, you can examine a belief, gain perspective and clarity, and create a new pathway to attract whatever will serve you better.

Hypnotherapy is rarely a one-and-done service. It is more often a journey over several sessions to gain perspective, bring clarity to the situation, and find a better way forward.

If you would like to find a way out of your story, I am here to help.
