The Science of Epigenetics I have been going through some 'stuff' recently. This has caused some old wounds to resurface. Wounds that I carry as part of me through generations of persecuted ancestors. These wounds manifest in my life as FEAR. In my family's case, it is the fear of 'not enough.' Not enough food, money, goods, etc. And, because I have been doing great personally, I thought I had eliminated these old fears. Alas, as soon as things began to turn south, I went back north to the … [Read more...] about Fear and Inherited Family Trauma

Gut Issues Linked to Emotional Trauma
Can this be true? The simple answer is, yes! Let’s be clear, IBS may have many causes, such as infections, food sensitivities, even genetics.

I should be a better spouse/parent/friend. Own Worst Critic Sound familiar? I bet we have all engaged in this type of behavior against ourselves at some point in our lives.

The Adam Project
You're probably wondering why a hypnotherapist is recommending a movie on Netflix. Well, it's actually because it is a great example of Regression Therapy. The Adam Project is not just about time travel, it's about coming to terms with the stories we tell ourselves. So many of us create stories about our childhoods filled with pain and loss. We make up narratives about why our parents were absent in our lives, about why we were bullied in school, about why our parents got divorced, etc. Many … [Read more...] about The Adam Project
