Emotions are contagious!Â
Our nervous systems were wired to mirror tone, breath, tension, and mood long before we were consciously registering what was happening.
For many people, this started early. A mother whose mood could shift the entire household. A father whose temper changed the air in the room. An environment where you learned to scan, adjust, stay quiet, or keep the peace.
Your nervous system adapted. It learned that noticing emotional shifts mattered for safety, and that skill doesn’t turn off just because you grow up.
So later in life, you may feel anxious, drained, or emotionally full after being around others, even when nothing “bad” is happening. Your body is still running an old program because it's been conditioned to do so.
Hypnotherapy helps because it works with the part of the mind where these patterns were first created. In a state of hypnosis, we are literally reframing those patterns and creating new neural pathways in the brain, forming new beliefs at a subconscious level.
This is science. We are working with neuroplasticity. The same mechanism that shaped these responses early on is what allows them to change now.
And you don’t lose empathy, you simply take control of your biology. You begin to teach your nervous system a new way to respond in the present.
If you’re ready to understand where this actually came from, why it stuck, and how to work with it now instead of being run by it, that’s exactly where hypnotherapy comes in.
