This method is the basis of everything I do as a somatic hypnotherapist. It heals anxiety and trauma, and also whatever the underlying reason is that you reach for a bag of chips, a bottle of booze, or a cigarette or a joint when you are uncomfortable.
This is what finally healed my anxiety and trauma after 21 therapists couldn't do it. And it's based on neuroscience.
It’s something called memory reconsolidation.
Keep reading and I’ll show you how you can activate this process to turn leftover discomfort from difficult childhood memories...
Into unconditional self-love... that dissolves anxiety.
But first, if you don't know me, I'm Mahesh Grossman, a somatic hypnotherapist and the author of "The One Minute Anxiety Solution."
For the last ten years, I've used this process thousands of times to help clients resolve most or all of their anxiety within 10 sessions.
The vast majority of them feel a shift right during their first session.
Memory reconsolidation is an uncomplicated two-step process.
The first step is to connect to a memory that made you sad, mad, or scared… without being upset by those feelings.
When you allow yourself to feel a difficult emotion while you're calm, it gives your brain permission to "edit" the memories that caused it.
It’s as if you were opening a Word document.
Then we revisit the mom, dad, or other authority figure who hurt you—and through a simple guided process, we get the version of them that lives in your subconscious mind to spontaneously change how they respond.
This loving new emotional experience replaces your old pain and rewrites your memory.
Since your brain no longer senses danger, it dissolves the anxiety linked to that recollection.
This works best for people who already know there's something from childhood—whether it's a single experience or a recurring pattern—that still upsets them.
If that's you, and you want to experience how memory reconsolidation can help you begin to overcome one thing that makes you anxious…
I have a free 5- minute video that walks you through the exact process I use with each of my clients.
