Hypnosis and how your mind works

01

Learning and Association

As we learn, our mind forms positive or negative associations between experiences and our thoughts and feelings. For instance, the smell of cookies baking may trigger memories of mom, or the anticipation of a tasty treat, leading to the feeling of nostalgia or the sensation of hunger.

02

Primitive Mind & Reflexes

At birth, our primitive mind, governed by the sympathetic nervous system, creates instinctive survival responses like fight or flight. Reflexes such as fear of falling or reacting to loud noises are present.  The parasympathetic nervous system later restores balance and homeostasis.

03

Subconscious Script

Our experiences shape our subconscious, accounting for 88% of our thinking. These associations, formed without a critical filter, become our knowns or life script. Whether positive or negative associations can trigger automatic responses, influencing behavior.

04

Critical Filter

It develops around age 8, allowing us to analyze experiences logically. The conscious mind (representing the 12%) gains functions like decision making and reasoning. Potential conflicts arise when subconscious associations clash with conscious intentions.

 
05

Overload

Hypnosis occurs when our mind gets overloaded with information, temporarily disrupting our logical thinking. This hyper-suggestible state gives access to our subconscious mind, and in hypnotherapy, it’s created by building upon existing anxiety using words as tools.
