The holidays can be a time of connection, but they can also be a time of activation, trauma, and grief. For many, this is a time for interacting with family, and for others celebrating the holiday without a loved one for the first time. If dealing with family, it is typical that certain family dynamics will arise, and buttons will get pushed which ...

One of the key themes in the foundational part of my NLP training is the importance of the mind-body connection. We know from research that neurotransmitters bathe every cell of the body. Additionally, the mind's influence on the body has also been documented in research. However, what has not always been talked about are the subtle tapes that we a...

One of the major themes I teach in my NLP training is that of cause and effect. Oftentimes in our lives it's easy to exist like we are at the effect of every circumstance in our lives. In fact, it's the most comfortable place to be, isn't it? People say, "I'm just a product of my environment" , "It is what it is.." What we fail to realize in these ...

Being heard not unlike other emotional needs is a crucial part of the connection in human beings. It has been said that 90% of problems in communication come from the need to be listened to. When an individual has the experience of not being heard or understood, they will either speak and act in ways that get them heard, or conversely, they may tur...

Tonight my son asked me to do something for him. A few weeks ago Delsyn woke up in fright and called out my name "Mommy!!!" he screamed. I ran to his room and as I comforted him he told me that he had had a nightmare. As he laid back down, he said to me "Mommy, I don't think I can go back to sleep". So, I said to him, "let's try...

Becoming more flexible communicators will not only help...

Did you know that emotion is an unconscious mind phenomenon? We may have heard of people around us telling us to control our emotions even in situations where we feel like bursting out. Today's discussion would be focusing on how we can begin to consciously control how we react even in the face of the unconscious feelings that we feel. The unconsci...

 A common question my clients and prospective students ask me is if you have to be a doctor, therapist, or coach to learn hypnosis and NLP. While I do tend to have a lot of physicians, therapists, coaches, and healthcare professionals in my training (by the sheer fact that I, myself, am a physician), my training contains pr...

In the near decade since I became NLP Practitioner and Hypnotherapist, the biggest obstacle that I've encountered in this work is people's general lack of knowledge about the field. Most people only know about NLP and Hypnosis from what is shown on television, on street shows, or what they hear from people who have never personally experienced it b...

When we have some goals or plans, we often set our focus on two things either on the things that we want to or those that we don't want. While we have our own freedom to choose either of the two, we must be mindful of what leads us more to abetter result.
