Rumble Strips – Habits and Addictions
Sometimes life hurts. And pain is not something most of us enjoy, and in particular, pain is something that your brain is programmed to avoid.
When life frustrates us or causes us pain, it is frequently obvious as to its source. There are also times when our subconscious becomes frustrated and hurt. On both counts our brain moves to protect us by either fighting back, or avoidance. This is our primal āfear or flightā programming.
What is Clinical Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis in a clinical setting to help clients overcome challenges in their lives. It is often used to help overcome smoking, nail biting, and other such habits.

Tools For Happiness
In the last decade there have been dozens of studies around happiness. What is happiness? How was it created? How can we sustain happiness? These have been the proposals of academic studies, PhD thesisā, and the main thrust of inquiry for institutions such as the Dalai Lama’s āMind Life Institute.ā
Less academic, but often as if not more interesting, are the number of videos on YouTube and elsewhere that talk about happiness.
Parenting Your Brain
We have all done and things that we know are not in our best interest. āI just couldnāt help myself,ā is a worn plea I frequently hear from new clients. They come to me with stories of regret, stories or frustration, stories of stories gone badly, and stories of behavior that brought them pain. Broken relationships, lost jobs, panic attacks, slides back into the addiction ā and so these circles of life seem to eternally repeat for those who have not learned the skills necessary to be the master of their choices.
A Practical Approach to Recovering From Depression
āThe Emotional Guidance Scaleā
Depression can be a powerful and disabling disease. Not unlike a virus it can seek to destroy its host through slowly disassembling every belief and experience you have ever had that supported you.

Depression can lead to the loss of work, friends, family, and ultimately lead to death if not treated.
