Impulse Control
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We look under the hood with hypnosis to arrive at the maladaptive beliefs and emotions associated with your specific impusle control issues. Then we safely process and clear them, and rewire with the healthier options. We can use a combination of hypnosis, NLP, EMT, Gestalt, regression, tapping, breathwork and more. With hypnosis, we literally reinstall new hardware. We hard-wire your brain to make new choices proactively and it becomes effortless, automatic and intuitive to not act impulsivley. With this protocol, you will become focused, discliplined and able to clearly see what is important in life. You will circumvent distraction. You will develop structure and routine and reward yourself when you've made the choice that supports your new goals. You will find yourself organized and prepared, and lovingly notice how judicious you are about time management.
