Today on the show, we're gonna be discussing freedom from
depression, anxiety, premenstrual, and other mood disorders.
Enjoy the show. Okay. Hi, Chloe. Welcome to True Hope Cast.
Thank you so much for being with me,
for being with us today.
How are you? What is going well?
I'm really well. Thank you for having me,
Simon. Such a pleasure.
Wonderful. Wonderful. Well, we're gonna be discussing, um,
freedom from depression, anxiety, uh, premenstrual
and other mood disorders today.
We're gonna get into a bunch of different things, but
before we do that, would you mind just sharing a little bit
about who you are and what it is that you do?
Sure. So I'm Chloe Jim Pieces.
I'm a rapid transformational hypnotherapist
and trauma informed coach.
I'm also a narcissistic abuse specialist,
and I help people transform the subconscious root cause
of their hormonal symptoms
and their mental health issues so
that they can live a purposeful life of inner peace
and freedom and, um, expanded potential.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Um, one thing was set up for me,
there was living a purposeful life.
Um, do you feel like a lot
of people don't have a particular purpose at the moment,
or is it, is, is it something that
people fall off their purpose?
Because I think it's a very important thing that people have
that, but like, actually figuring out what that might be
could be quite tricky for a lot of people.
Well, it's because of the childhood programs.
We pick up the beliefs about ourselves that
what we want doesn't matter.
That we don't matter.
And so with a blueprint like that,
it's increasingly more difficult to feel into
what you really want to be doing and what you are here for.
Tell us a little bit more about that, about the, this,
these childhood programs that, you know, don't really, um,
let's say procure curiosity, um, creativity,
imagination, therefore, you know, killing a lot
of dreams kind of early on.
Would you mind telling us a little bit more about that?
Sure. So we are being programmed from being in the womb.
And as humans, our priority is to belong to our tribe.
And, um, you know,
because as children, children, we couldn't
survive without the caregiver.
So feeling rejected by the caregiver, um,
feels like death to a child.
And then, you know, in this moment of cognitive dissonance,
this is where the child will pick up, um,
beliefs about themselves.
Um, you know, the lay down these beliefs
like, I'm not enough.
There's something innately wrong with me. Um, I'm different.
I don't belong. And, um, and we, we lay down these beliefs.
It's like an adaptation. It is an adaptation.
As intelligent beings, we're adapting
to our environment in order to survive.
Um, and it's amazing when you actually go to the root cause
of a symptom or, you know, depression, for example.
Depression. Um, I'm really passionate about,
because I was diagnosed with it when I was 17 years old.
I was diagnosed with, with chronic fatigue at 14,
and then clinical depression at 17, um,
a personal antidepressants
and told that I had a chemical inbands,
that there was something wrong with me.
And of course, you know, from the work that I now do, well,
the, the beliefs, uh,
on the subconscious at the subconscious route of depression,
it's like the ultimate rejection of self.
It's, I'm wrong, I'm bad. There's something wrong with me.
It's a misperception of a child, um, that stays with us.
And then this is the lens through which we see ourselves
and we see the world and the perception
that we then have of ourselves
is activating the nervous system.
And, you know, we have the fight
or flight, this is where we find anxiety and rage.
And when we reach the threshold of fight
or flights, our nervous system comes to protect us further
by shutting us down and putting us in freeze.
Our nervous system is working for us according
to this blueprint that we have on our subconscious mind from
our formative years.
And so it's only doing the job.
It can only do according to the beliefs that you have.
And so depression is a freeze response.
So is chronic fatigue, so is dissociation.
It's our nervous system coming to,
it's the ultimate survival mode.
Very interesting. Thanks for that. I, um, yeah.
So many things to pick up on there with an individual.
Are you talking about you're able to actually work
with an adult who's gone through a lot of these childhood c
unhelpful conditioning programs to help break through that?
Is that something that you is, is possible
That's what I specialize in.
Yeah. So, you know, we, we,
we talk about trauma and we categorize it into small T
and big TI don't really like to categorize trauma in
that way because what differs
between us all is our sensitivity.
And you know, like one in four, one in five
of us is a highly sensitive being.
And this is the genetic differentiation that's been
tested across over a hundred species, right?
There's many studies on this that gene for sensitivity.
So if you are a highly sensitive person, you are,
you process things deeply in your nervous system,
you are more susceptible to these limiting beliefs,
to these mutations in the belief system
that then activate the nervous system.
You are more susceptible than to depression and anxiety
and premenstrual mood disorders.
But you see the premenstrual thing, it's really alarming
for me because when, when a woman goes to the doctor
with a pre, with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, right,
which is like PMS on steroids, um,
I feel like they've been hijacked for a week,
two weeks of the month.
And this happens when the hormone shift occurs when they're
moving to the luteal phase
and the hormone acts like a truth serum.
So, you know, we have, we're cyclical beings.
We have a spring, summer, autumn, winter of our cycle,
and then in the autumn we go into this introspective mode
almost assessing our lives, and we come very close
and personal and have this access
to the subconscious imprints,
these beliefs that we lay down.
And so naturally the nervous system is highly activated
because of the perception,
because of this lens that we're seeing life through.
Um, and when people go to the doctor with this,
the doctor will then give them, uh, birth control
or offer them SSRIs.
And then the last, um, option would be a full hysterectomy.
Just take away the hormones. Yeah.
But the hormones are giving us,
the hormones are like this innate wisdom of, you know,
for women that is showing us what we need
to transform in order to well transform the imprints
that are holding us back, keeping us small
and creating these symptoms.
Um, and actually, yes,
we want freedom from the symptoms.
That's what's, you know, getting louder
and louder and louder.
But what ends up happening, the side effect
of the treatment when we do it, is, well,
amazing relationships.
Then your relationships transform.
Your parenting then transforms.
You end up realizing your what your,
what you love doing, your sole purpose.
I've worked with, I've worked with doctors
and nurses who have,
who've ended up training in the same modality as me
because they believe in it so much.
They're like, wow, now I can actually
help people at the root cause rather than
attenuating symptoms.
We can actually go to the root cause.
And it is like, it is, you know,
it's mind, body, and spirit.
And it does feel increasingly more like a calling to heal
and expanding consciousness.
The more I do this, the more I'm realizing this,
which is really interesting.
Beautiful. Yeah, I think root cause is such a huge thing
that so many, so many amazing guests on our show come in
and talk about from, from different angles.
But I think that all of them would agree on the fact that,
you know, conventional, conventional medicine,
the conventional way of thinking in regards to, you know,
a list of symptoms and then basically going through a, a,
a program and, and picking a particular drug
that's associated with those symptoms,
and then getting that individual on that,
rather than being able to spend, let's say an hour,
two hours with an individual to kind of really learn kind
of deep, deep down what's kind of going on for an individual
and being able to actually go back to somebody's childhood,
how were they bought into the world, how, you know,
what were, what was going on in the family when you
were, you're in the womb.
Like pretty intense questions that, you know,
can bring a lot of understanding to how an individual
functions, um, on a neurological level,
I guess on an immunological level as well.
So yeah, it's fascinating
that you're able to work with that.
And it, and I totally understand
and believe that many conventional doctors who went
through a lot of training who have worked with thousands
and thousands of patients looking to actually heal them
and help them and progress them to a place
where they don't need a doctor,
they don't need pharmaceuticals.
But I think after doing a lifetime of that work
and realizing that you're probably not actually
getting people to a point where they want to be, to,
you know, have this, um, life in which brings them
awe and they're pain-free and they feel strong
and passionate and they've got these wonderful things
that they want to do because a lot of people, I feel,
and I've experienced as well, they end up becoming their
disorder or their diagnosis, I should say,
and it becomes a huge part of their personality.
And everything evolves around that,
and it's a huge part of people's story.
Um, and yeah, there's, it's,
it's challenging when our primary medical system
doesn't really get what we've just spoken about
for the last, you know, like 10 minutes
in the opening of it.
But I'd love to, if you would wanna expand a little bit on
me on some of those practice, those doctors
that have been able to recognize that
what your work is doing
and that, you know, our nervous system, our immune system,
our hormonal system, especially for a female, is very,
very complex and complicated.
Um, that, you know, it's not just A-S-S-R-I deficiency,
which is the problem here.
It's a lot more, it's a lot more important than that.
And it's, and it deserves, it deserves to be listened
to rather than a five, 10 minute medical consultation.
Absolutely. And you know, that
serotonin model, it was never proven.
It is a theory and it's not really, it's,
it's not the doctor's fault.
It's what, you know, I did 11 years of university, I went
to medical school, then dental school,
we are not taught this thing, this stuff.
It's, it's crazy that we're not taught
about the subconscious mind
and how the subconscious mind affects the nervous system
and how that then affects your physiology
because this is actually root cause medicine.
It's crazy. Yeah. Um, it's not their fault.
But, um, I come across a lot of doctors in my work
because there, just by mere nature of them being the carers
of society, the empaths of society, they're more susceptible
to picking up these limiting beliefs,
these trauma imprints in childhood.
And then they come to me for help to transform the,
the PMDD or the depression.
Um, and then they, they love it so much they then go on to,
to study it because they want
to help their patients at the root cause
because they know that they're going to keep seeing them
and have to keep prescribing more and more drugs.
Yeah. And it must be very challenging when you have, um,
a patient coming in for you coming in for let's say 10 years
with the same condition
and you're just bouncing from drug to drug.
We had an ama we had, uh,
Michelle Tinger on the show a couple, uh, a couple
of weeks ago, and she, um, she was di diagnosed
with bipolar disorder and,
and it, she was working with her doctor
for I think 10 years.
And he finally came to the conclusion that
what they were doing with just cocktails of pharmaceuticals
and adding other, other drugs to
counteract the side effects from these other ones,
he was just real realized that this,
this clearly isn't working.
And, you know, he obviously made an oath at the beginning
of his, beginning of his practice to, you know, help people
and, and, and do, do no harm.
And he did a little bit more research in regards
to using alternative methods.
He ended up using, um, recommending
that using micronutrients
and good quality supplementation to, to begin the process
of actually healing the brain properly rather than,
you know, flooding the body with these,
with these very foreign chemicals
that the body doesn't really know what to do
with it stores them up in fat
and, you know, it can be debilitating for, for decades.
And yeah, just as you're talking there about
those practitioners, those doctors
who I believe are the majority of them really,
really wanna support and help people.
But yeah, they are indoctrinated into an ideology
that there's only one pathway
and, um, it can be very, very challenging for a patient
to be able to do anything else other with their health
because yeah, like we play doctors
and nurses when we're kids.
That's what happens when we get sick.
And then once we get into the real world, we get sick
and we go to the doctor and we get this prescription on this
piece of paper and we get this pill
and that's going to like heal us.
Right. And I think a lot of people actually still like
believe that that's, that's kinda like the way it goes.
And that's the only option I guess in many countries.
It's very challenging to, um, even fund a,
an alternative option.
And you are kind of paying for a second tier
of healthcare when you're looking
to maybe go see a hypnotherapist or perhaps a chiropractor
or a nutritionist or these other amazing practitioners
that we have available to us.
It's not, I can't remember playing a TCM doctor
and acupuncturist when I was a kid,
but maybe I should start playing that with my kids.
I know, right? We've gotta be careful what we're,
what we're programming into our children, like you said,
you know, oh, go to the doctor, they're going
to give you a medicine and this is going to fix you.
I'm very careful about that with my children, um,
because yeah, we were programmed that way
and there is still this, um, you know, they,
people put doctors on pedestals
and Oh, you've gotta go to the doctor
and what, what the doctor says goes, you know,
like in the days where airline, airline pilots with the gods
of the sky, it's not like that anymore.
Um, but you know, the doctors still kind of
have that mm-Hmm.
Um, yeah, I heard that, that episode with Michelle
and she was very fortunate to find a doctor that really,
really, you know, was able to explore, uh,
the root cause Yeah. And help her.
Yeah. And just being able to put his ego aside
and to actually have a human connection with Michelle.
'cause they, they, they developed a relationship.
She was obviously clearly way more than just
a patient at that point.
And, um, yeah, it's just remarkable that he was able
to like, take a look at the research that we we've done
with, with our products here,
and was able to help facilitate that.
And once her doctor had kind of given her the permission
or the green light to do something like that,
it gave her the permission to try something else, I think.
Which, um, again, as its own challenge, as a, as a doctor,
you know, that kind of, that that, um, that white lab coat
that doctor pedestal thing you're talking about.
Yeah. It's, it's a big challenge for a lot of people to
think outside of that very narrow box.
But it's not that long ago where we had like medicine men,
medicine women be part of our community, part of our tribe.
That's who you would go to at one person in the household
where there would usually be three,
maybe even four generations of individual
that that'd be one person you'd go to for home remedies
that was likely growing in the garden.
And then that would be, you know, that would be part
of the teachings, that'd be part of the schooling within,
within the community in the home.
And it's not that long ago that we're all doing that,
but it just seemed to just been absolutely washed away in
something that you might capture in a movie
or a TV show that was based 200 years ago.
Like, that's the only time you might actually
see these things anymore.
And it'ss really, really sad when you think about it.
Yeah. I think it's, I think it's coming back, isn't it?
I think people are waking up, they're realizing
that they have the wisdom within them to heal
and, um, you know, the, the diet is, is a,
is just the first thing that you have to look at.
You know, because that's trauma to the body.
You are wounding the trauma is the Greek word for wound.
You are wounding the body.
We are devolving with our diets, even
with the way we breathe as a species, we're devolving.
So those are the basic things that, you know,
you've gotta look at and then get curious.
Well, you know, I've acquired 95% of my beliefs
before I was seven years old.
Wow. That's
before I even had a rational conscious, critical mind formed
to filter anything out.
I absorbed beliefs about myself
and about the world that I live in that aren't even mine.
Mm-Hmm. Uh, we're updating the software on our computers
and our phones, you know, numerous times a year,
but we don't think to update the software, um,
that we are running on.
And it's like, come on guys. We only live once.
Life is short. Life is going really fast, much faster
and faster all the time, and we want more from life.
Well, if you want more from life
and we all have this burning desire to expand
and evolve, then you've gotta change the blueprint
because everything you're experiencing is,
is the manifestation of the blueprint
that you carry from childhood.
Beautiful. Well said.
Um, I'd like to back things up a little bit
and I'd like to know a little bit more
what a transformational hypnotherapist is
because I've had, we've had hypnotherapist on the show
before, which has been, um, amazing and eyeopening.
And for some reason it's all over my TikTok as well.
So it's like, it's clearly
something that's very, very popular.
It's a lot of people out there doing it.
But there's a traditional idea when I, when I,
when I think hypnotists, I think of cruise ships
and I think of people, you know, being, um,
told to bark like dogs.
But from what I understand now, it's very,
very different from that.
But can maybe you can tell us a little bit more like what,
what traditional transformational hypnotherapy is?
Yeah. And that's a bit of a problem for me
because we grew up
with stage hypnotists making us cluck like chickens
and bark like a dog.
So people think, oh, I'm going to be out of control.
Um, and it's, you are, you are not actually,
you are having this inward focus.
You are actually more in control
and you are able to just relax the conscious mind
and access the subconscious mind.
So, you know, you are in and out of hypnosis every day.
It's, you know, two of your brain states.
They're just slower frequencies.
Um, and it just means that you are more suggestible
and that you can access memories that you might not be able
to with your conscious mind.
Often people do,
because we regress back at the beginning of the session.
We regress back, we ask the subconscious mind
to show us scenes memories, the earliest memories, all
to do with this feeling, the absolute root cause and reason.
And then we do this three or four times.
And in each of those scenes,
then I extract the beliefs of the child.
'cause actually what all that matters is the feeling
of the child in these scenes.
And so then we get very clear set of beliefs
and there'll be the same beliefs coming up in each scene
just to really show you, your subconscious mind knows
what the issue is here.
And then we do a load of inner child work
and we use another toolkit of reframing tools.
We do parts therapy in there
because, you know, the depression is a part,
the anxiety's a part, the anger is a part.
It's not you, it's a protector part.
It's doing a job for you
because you as a child at some point have,
have decided, concluded that this is going to protect you
or your nervous system has unconsciously decided
that this is protecting you.
And so we upgrade the child and we do the parts work.
And so transformational hypnotherapy,
how I would describe it, is root cause resolution.
You are going back
to the absolute root cause the imprint on your nervous
system or your subconscious mind.
And you are,
the really important bit about it is the reframing.
Well, those are beliefs of a helpless
dependent child.
That's, that could never be true that, that I'm bad
because I cleaned the windows for my mom
with kitchen roll after she just had them
professionally cleaned.
And she came in and shouted at me, I'm bad and I'm wrong,
and there's something seriously wrong with me.
That could never be true.
And so we do this whole upgrade
and they see very clearly that that can,
that was a misperception that could never happen again.
And so then come, it's a two hour session, so, you know,
but first you've gotta uproot these malignant beliefs.
You've got to pinpoint them and you've got to uproot them
and reframe the truth about you because they're lies.
And then we do the, at the end of the session,
we do this transformation, which is 15 minutes
of me giving you the new opposite empowering beliefs in
this hypnotic state.
And then you go away with this recording of those beliefs
with binaural beats.
And you will listen to that every day
for 21 days when you go to bed,
to really cement those new neur pathways
because the mind learns in two ways, by repetition
and by in via hypnosis.
So we come at it from both angles.
Can you tell me a little bit more about these bin
Ora beats on what they do?
Yeah, so they just help you go into the slower
brain frequency.
So we just put that on as the background music
while you're listening to the new
empowering truths about you.
Amazing. And what do you see in regards to progress or,
or recovery within people?
Is there a typical type of individual that comes in with,
let's say, debilitating anxiety or depression
and then, you know, you are, you are working with them,
you have this, is this two, two hour session like the,
this initial session
that you would have that you would record?
So my program is eight weeks long,
and in those eight weeks, there are two rapid
transformational hypnotherapy sessions
because they need to be three
or four weeks apart in order to integrate each session.
Um, so we start off with an hour's coaching call,
and then the next day
or two days later, we go into the first transformational,
uh, hypnotherapy session.
I tend to start with a freeze response symptom
because I first want to,
or first want to get them outta freeze response.
Um, and so with depression
after a a day, you know, they'll wake up the next day
after the RTT session
and they will already just feel like it's gone.
It's just gone. The understanding is there,
understanding is power.
They're just free. They're lighter,
they wake up feeling full of self-love
and just lighter is what they say.
And then of course they're cementing the new beliefs
throughout those next three weeks.
And then in those three weeks we have another call
and we talk about what's left,
because you can't really know what you are going to work on
for the second month
because that might have been cleared with the first session
because those beliefs will clear a load of stuff.
But what tends to be left is maybe a fight
or flight response symptom, like anger or anxiety.
And so then for the last half
of the program, we'll work on that.
But at the same time, they're learning metacognitive
psychology, learning to get in control of their thoughts,
learning that they are not their thoughts
and they actually have choice over them.
Because after three minutes of thinking about something,
you start to have a physiological reaction in your body.
Things start to change.
You know, stress responses come, um,
because the body's incredibly intelligent.
It's adapting all the time to
what it needs, what it doesn't need.
Downregulating genes, upregulating genes, you know,
more hormones interrupting this, that and the other.
It's, you know, so the body is hugely, i i is
so intelligent.
Mm-Hmm. Um, and we're just adapting all the
time to our environment.
Beautifully said. Yeah.
I think once we're able to, I think one of people
recognize a little bit of, just a little bit of education
or when they actually experience a session like you're
describing, once they're able to step outside
of a constant sympathetic stress response,
whether they think they're in stress, think they're stressed
or not, and they're able to actually, um,
step into that rest
and digest stage, I feel like a lot
of people actually getting out of the,
getting out of the way of the body.
'cause it's constantly trying to heal us.
It's constantly trying to make us
feel amazing in my opinion.
But once we were able to actually step out of
that stress response for a long period of time,
we're actually allowing our body to clean up
and allowing it to do all those amazing things
that it, that it should do.
It's able to actually take the nutrients from our food,
take the nutrients from our nutrition to get it
to the places where it needs to go in order to heal.
Because it's almost impossible for us
to digest our food correctly when all of our blood
and resources are out to our, out to our limbs that
'cause we think that we're constantly
trying to fight a bear, you know?
Exactly. So, yeah.
Would, so would you agree in regards to like a lot
of your work or some of your work is
helping people get out of their own way
to allow their body to do its thing?
Absolutely. Because you have all the innate wisdom.
You've just adapted to, uh, you know, a situation.
It's like in, just look at a plant, the intelligence
of a plant when it's lacking a nutrient
and it's leaves will go yellow in order to survive.
Mm-Hmm. Well that's intelligence and that's in a plant.
And we have such incredible intelligence within us to heal
and our body wants us to, to heal.
That's why it's ringing these alarm bells,
giving you the symptoms, you know,
and then we've gotta get curious,
rather than handing our power away to a doctor who's going
to give us a pharmaceutical that's going
to cause more issues for us.
Mm-Hmm. We've gotta get curious with the root cause
and start resolving it.
Because like you said,
we can't conceive when we're in a stress response.
You know? And I also work with the root cause of infertility
because you, you've programmed yourself, you know,
some women have actually programmed themselves
very early on, oh God,
my dad would kill me if I get pregnant.
You know, and that's still there running all those
physiological processes
that are actually then gonna make it very difficult
for them to conceive.
And like you say, the nutrients
and the blood can't go to the intestines
or go to the sex organs when you are in
the chronic stress response.
And we've normalized this as a society, actually
they want more, want us to be more and more
and more in these states
so they can control us. I believe so,
Yeah. I'm right with, I'm
right with you on that.
And yeah, I, I've, I've got so many, um, examples of stories
of people trying to get pregnant
and they're like so regimented about it
and three, four years they can't get pregnant.
And then once they kind of not give up
but chill out about it and it's less stressful,
like it happens like immediately
and it's just, yeah, you can't not look at that thing,
not look at that and then realize what we are thinking,
feeling and doing is having a massive impact on our
internal state Mm-Hmm.
And how that's gonna have a huge impact on kind
of everything that we have going on in our lives.
And just one more thing before we kind of move on here.
I just, what, just from what you were saying in regards to,
um, the sympathetic and
and parasympathetic nervous system, we find so many people
who have had chronic anxiety, chronic depression,
P-T-S-D-A-D-H-D, all of these very, very common things
that these individuals have been so stressed out internally.
Their body is fighting constantly
that it's in a massive state of lack.
It's in a massive state of deficiency.
And that's on the level of minerals, on vitamins,
antioxidants, all these vital things that we need to do.
So many different things for us.
And then once they're able to actually take a product
that can actually begin to deal with that deficiency,
regardless of your stress state, people very quickly start
to feel very different.
And then they're able to step into a world
where their depression
or their anxiety isn't gonna be
there for the rest of their life.
And they dread waking up every morning.
And it's just, we, yeah.
We just see some remarkable things happen
with actual proper nutrition that gives people
that foundation to go on ahead
and start thinking about maybe going for a hike, going
for a walk, going, doing some yoga
or connect reconnecting with their community.
And that's just the, the beginning stages of kind
of all healing processes, I think is getting your body,
the nutrition it needs, reducing the amount of stress
that you're experiencing,
and certainly getting to the root cause of a lot of
that subconscious, um, childhood stuff
that you were talking about as well, which is like
so rampant in everybody because we all try
and parent the best possible way
that we can, I think anyway.
And, um, it's funny
'cause there's always parent books that come out
and there's a new generation of parenting.
There's a helicopter parenting, there's the,
the the war type parenting that my grandparents did
to my parents, which I kind of got a little bit of as well.
Mm-Hmm. And then I'm trying to do my own thing
and it's like nobody's perfect.
And I feel like most people are
just trying to do their best.
But we have to recognize as parents, as ad, as adults,
as carers, there's a huge responsibility in regards to like,
what we allow our children to experience is going
to program them for the rest of their lives.
And if we are not creating like a, a, a flexible, um,
let's say calm individual, then we're just, yeah.
We're just creating crazy, wild stress balls.
Yeah. And I always say the greatest gift you can give your
kids is doing this work, right?
Mm-Hmm. Because we're all doing our best.
Nobody wakes up and says, today I am gonna mess up my kid.
But then, you know, a lot of women that start this work
with me when they understand this in a child work
because they're doing it
and they've reparented themselves, they then go, oh my god,
my kids, I'm worried about my kids because I was raging,
because I was this, because,
you know, and it's like, mm-hmm.
You know, this is their journey too,
and you can't, you know, like it is what it is.
You are giving them the greatest gift you could ever give
them now by transforming this
and you're gonna pass that onto them now.
Um, and it just, you know, we are doing the best we can.
I'm a single mom of three young kids.
I'm doing the best I can.
Nobody, you know, but we are not perfect.
We're humans and we're, we all have limiting beliefs as part
of the human phenomenon.
All we can do is keep transforming them.
And as women, our hormones will show us in the form of these
symptoms every month Mm-Hmm.
Here's what needs transforming.
Um, and we have all the wisdom within us, the innate wisdom
to transform it.
And just, we're here to evolve. Gotta keep growing.
That's right. How old are your kids
and what are the more common ways in which you
introduce this work to them?
My kids are seven, eight, and nine. Crazy.
Wild, wild.
Um, it's funny
because they feed stuff back to me and I'm like, Ooh.
They're like mini therapists, these kids.
Um, and sometimes I hear one, you know, one of them will,
will start coaching the other one start saying, well,
why don't you choose a different thing to think something
that will make you feel happier?
Mm-Hmm. Because you don't need to think that.
Beautiful. Yeah.
Yeah. That's wonderful. Yeah.
And I'm sure they're teaching you so much in regards to how
a seven, eight, 9-year-old brain thinks.
And I guess you're obviously working with a lot of adults
who a lot of their traumas would've happened
when they're at those young ages.
So that must be a wonderful insight.
Yeah, totally. And you know,
I guess we're becoming the parents that we needed at the end
of the day, you know, like I healed my stuff.
And actually the reason I do what I do was
through a huge epiphany
that I had when I was left heartbroken
because their father left me when I was pregnant with,
with my third, um, he ran off
with a girl from work half his age, which is lovely.
But I was heartbroken for months, clearly.
And I just remember sitting on my green velvet sofa
and looking at my two boys.
There were two and one, and I was pregnant.
And these thoughts going through my head, um,
and I was just thinking, what will become of my life now?
Like, who's gonna want me with three babies? What will I do?
And in that moment, I could see this crossroads.
I could see like, you carry on thinking that,
and they're going to be a victim of that way of thinking.
They're gonna pick up beliefs about themselves.
They're gonna feel like a burden to your happiness.
So how about you choose to believe
that amazing things are coming to you?
And that they're a great package. We are a great package.
And I could see that it was just going to transform the,
it was two different trajectories,
and I could see the effect on their
belief system either way.
And I was like, you know, I was so low in myself,
I couldn't do it for me, but
I was like, I'm doing this for them.
And I went on this, I went down a rabbit hole
of personal growth and really like, you know,
studying the laws of the universe
and learning about the subconscious mind.
And it was then that I saw an advert
with Marissa Pier talking about
rapid transformational therapy.
And I was like, oh my God, this is
what I should have always been doing.
Like 11 years of university out the window.
This is what I want, this is what I'm here for, this is
what I should have always been doing.
And so I did the training
and I just jumped in with both feet.
I was so passionate because it was like I'd actually found
the tools that I needed to help people, free them from pain.
Um, and I just, ugh. I, I love what I do. I really do.
And it's given us such a great life.
Yeah. It's amazing that your kids were able to, you know,
really help you choose that different alternative direction.
And yeah, Michelle spoke about how, you know, she, she,
she was planning on k killing herself every like,
for many, many days.
And it was her kids
and in regards to like what her kids would turn out to be
or what she thought they would turn out
to be without her as a mom.
And that was what motivated her, motivated her to kind
of stay alive and stay with them.
And yeah, once we can start thinking outside the box there
and start thinking about, start thinking about our children,
who they are and what they can be,
it's really quite remarkable what what we can achieve.
And yeah.
You were, you, you said something awesome there in regards
to where this thought might take you.
Mm-Hmm. And I think that's huge to think, like you could sit
with a particular thought that you might not like
and think, oh my God, what if I let this grow
for five years or 10 years?
How foul and gross and despicable is that thought gonna be,
and what's that gonna lead me to becoming?
Yeah. And I think nine times outta 10,
you could probably actually even draw what
that might look like and it wouldn't look pretty.
So yeah, I think that's a very interesting practice
that I might, I might steal
that one if you don't mind. Well,
It actually triggered my own childhood belief actually,
because I'd grown up with, with a very young mother
who I would hear, or I had heard,
or I'd interpreted, let's say as a child that I was a birth.
I think I'd heard something like, who's gonna want me
with two children as she was in a early twenties,
you know, like she was doing her best.
But it was like, I really took that on as a sensitive child.
Um, oh my goodness.
If I wasn't here then she'd be, then she'd be happy.
You know? So this thought that went through my head
actually triggered my own childhood issues.
And I was like, no,
you are not doing the same thing to them.
Like, you are gonna be the cycle breaker.
And, and that's what I'm all about is inspiring women
to become, and men
to become the cycle breakers of their family.
'cause often when I work with the women that I work with,
the premenstrual stuff, the husbands come along
and say, I want a bit of what she's had.
Like, I want some too.
Do you think, um, just on that, on that topic
of like having children young, I,
it's got three people in my mind right now who I know, um,
that their mothers had them when they were like 19, 20, 21.
And I feel like in some of the, some of the cases,
there's a lot of blame on the parents
in regards to how they are now as adults.
Um, when you work with adults who kind of have
that issue, would you,
'cause obviously the power is
with the individual who's experiencing those,
whether they wanna get through or not, but like once you,
'cause I think a blame, a blame is a very, you know,
it's an external thing.
You know, we're putting that energy out of us
to actually something that's not technically there
anymore because it's in the past.
But like, how would you go about like allowing somebody,
somebody to maybe understand that that's an internal thing
that you have within yourself,
and that you can actually go back
and work with that in a child and heal it?
Mm. Yeah. And so I always say it's not your fault
what happened, but it is your responsibility, right?
Because our parents, well they,
I was gonna say our parents are doing their best
and we are all doing our best.
Um, but they were, they also had their issues.
They also were maybe emotionally unavailable
because they were anxious or depressed
or they were alcoholics.
Um, there is a spectrum, you know, some people were,
because there's two types of trauma.
There's what happened to you
and shouldn't have happened to you,
and then there's what should have happened to you
and you didn't get, um,
so when I say we're all doing our best, I'm talking about
what you didn't get, you weren't attuned to.
Um, and the child needs to be attuned to and be understood
because they can't move through their emotions on their own.
And so most of us experienced that type of trauma. Mm-Hmm.
Um, so in that respect, I would say, you know,
they were doing their best
and it's, you know, it's not your fault
and now it's your responsibility
because you are running, you are walking around
with programs of helpless dependent child,
and that's not you anymore.
You are an autonomous self validating.
You, validate you, you don't depend on your parents
to validate you anymore.
But because you weren't validated back then,
which we go into like this portal and hypnosis
and do all of that work so
that you are not needing validation from others
anymore actually.
So you, you get to go in and resolve that
and then the forgiveness can happen because you've gone in
and done this resolution within you
and met the needs of that child.
Those needs weren't met.
That's why it was all still active in your body.
You've resolved it and so you can let go.
And that's forgiveness, I think when you can let go
because you no longer need them to validate
or acknowledge anything.
'cause you do that for you.
I love it. It's great stuff. I think. Yeah.
I, I was just thinking about when we're talking about
pharmaceuticals and, and, and drugs
and how there's a bunch of reasons why
that's the way that most people go.
But it's also, I think for a lot of people, they seek, um,
reassurance and they seek calm in something
that they can experience with their senses.
You know, whether that's a drug they can physically see,
something that they can eat, something that they can drink,
you know, these, these things that, that people believe
that they have more control over.
But when we're talking, when we're talking about like the
nervous system or the hormonal system,
or the immune system, obviously those things are there,
but if we can't physically see them, it's, it's very,
very challenging for a lot of people
to kind of put themselves there.
Like, I, I have a conversation about like frequency
and energy with people and, and,
and how, you know, the energy
of an individual can either bring you up or bring you down
and that because they can't see what's happening, it's hard
for people to really experience it.
But then I talk to 'em about like, do you know
how like sunlight works
or like how sound works in your ears?
So it, people can get, people can certainly get there.
But my point was that it can be very challenging for a lot
of people to do this inner work
because it's not something you can see like results.
It's not like you're on a pelo peloton machine
and then you can see the physical results of like
how well you did against last week.
Like we, we love that type of data.
'cause it's immediately, immediately validating.
But doing this type of internal work is challenging.
It's difficult. Um,
but it's quite clearly something that's there.
You know, like a hormone is a physical thing
just 'cause you can't see it.
It's, or feel it doing its thing.
It doesn't doesn't mean it's not there.
So yeah, I think there's a, a lot of work we need
to do in regards to like educating individuals about the
power of being able to like put your energy
and your frequency back inside of yourself
and recognizing that these are, you know, these, the, these,
these traumas, these things that we have within us
that may have happened 10, 20, 30 years ago.
They're accessible.
They're accessible, and we can, we can get there
and we can choose a different direction.
Yeah. And you know, Simon, I think the,
the real problem is the limiting beliefs themselves
that hold them back, keeps them disempowered from actually
transforming and stepping up.
Because most people that I work with have this belief,
yeah, but I'm different.
It wouldn't work for me. There's something wrong with me.
And so it's the limiting beliefs themselves
that keeps them disempowered.
I mean, we, you know, we live in a disempowered society
and so it's just helping people see their innate
wisdom and see that they have the power
to, you know, take action.
Once they've done the session, they get it.
They just get it. They're like blown away.
But you, like you say, it's intangible before Mm-Hmm.
You made the commitment to yourself to go and do this.
Um, but you know, the, the testimonials are there
and people that do it, they'll say, I'd pay
that 10 times over again to do that.
Yeah. It's Been a complete rebirth.
Absolutely. I remember I actually did a hypnosis in,
in the, in London when I was studying,
beginning to study nutrition.
I was on a semester break.
I came back to the UK and I had to travel
so far to find a hypnotist.
This was probably nine years ago, but it was a very, very,
and I, and I had those cruise ship ideas in my mind,
but it was, it was just an amazing session.
I was basically, I sat down and,
and this individual talked me through, we had a,
we had obviously had a conversation beforehand about like,
who I was and what I wanted to achieve
and all of these things.
And that was wonderful just to actually have that time to,
to talk about that
and have that external dialogue, which I, I do know.
But to like bring it up to the present was really,
really important for me.
And then being put into this, this really,
really wonderful state.
I mean, I'm not sure what brain, what's the,
what is it filter or, or,
or, um, uh, alpha that you go into,
I guess alpha. Yeah. And you
know, theater now
that you say it is the brain state of children under seven.
So children under seven are actually in hypnosis.
They just interesting. That's how they learn so quickly.
They're just absorbing everything. So yeah. Very cool.
It's two of our, of our far four
or five brain states actually.
Yeah. So I was put, put into this incredible state,
and then I just remember after the session,
which I think was about an hour
and a half, just felt amazing.
Just felt great. And, um, I felt, yeah,
I certainly felt like lightened and fluid and flexible
and yeah, that was one of my, that was my first experience
with, with hypnosis.
And I just wanted to ask you, what do you, um,
why do you think we're seeing this amazing rise
of practitioners such as yourself? Like now?
Mm, there is a huge rise,
but I think that that's a reflection of the, the awakening
that's occurring in our society
and people realizing that maybe the traditional
medicine is just giving them, you know,
it's attenuating symptoms,
but, you know, it is just not, it's not cutting it for them.
You know, like I have a lot of women
that maybe they're on SSRIs,
but they don't like the side effects
because, you know, they lose their sex drive
and all the, they're just numbed out.
And so that's one reason in itself to go
and actually get to the subconscious root cause of it.
Um, and, you know, it's a, it is a,
a mind body spirit connection.
And it's actually getting into the body, resolving the stuff
that has been activating your nervous system, chronically,
creating these diseases, not allowing you
to absorb the nutrition that you need to be getting.
Um, it's, people are waking up
and I think they're getting curious about,
they're learning more, they're reading more,
they're understanding themselves more,
and they actually desire more from life.
Mm-Hmm. They want more.
They feel that there must be more to life
and they're getting curious about these ways of doing it.
Beautiful. Yeah. I think we've had for a long time, people
recognize the body element of, of what it's,
what's important to be like healthy
physiologically and psychologically.
So people, you know, they, they bike
and they, they run and they do all these things.
And then the minds, I think that's been given a lot
of attention as well in regards to like what people can do
to, to, to strengthen, to educate, educate themselves and,
and expand that potential.
But it's the spirit. I think it's the spirit thing
that holds a lot of people back.
And I've noticed, um, going to, going to church
with my kids over the past, um, well, my family,
I guess over the past few months that more
and more younger families are coming in, coming into church.
And I think it's for a sense of that spiritual aspect,
something that's outside of them, something that's larger
that we can kind of like give ourselves up to,
to this very positive community, this very positive energy.
And I think it's that spiritual piece
that's been difficult for a lot of people.
Again, it's something you can't like physically see.
It's, it's challenging.
You know, I can, I can go to the gym and get bigger muscles
and see that I can do some brain training
and be a little bit smarter with my memory.
Like, that's great. But like
that spiritual aspect is
very challenging for a lot of people.
Do have you, have you experienced that?
Yeah. And I often say to people when I meet them initially
before they invest in my program, I'll say,
I ask if they're spiritual
because I say, you know, it's, it's, it's an element of
what we do because, you know,
we're doing in a child work source
to a child is their parent
and their parent maybe failed them, right?
But now you are anxious, you've got a choice.
So whether to believe there's this higher power
that is supporting you, that everything is coming
to serve you and work with it and co-create with it, um,
because this is really important for your nervous system
to feel safe
because it's replacing basically that parent
of the inner child now as the empowered adult,
there's this connection to source that is really important
and in the work,
because lack of self-trust is a big thing that a lot
of children lose, right?
Because, you know, chil parents will come along,
like the cleaning the window thing, the, um,
example I gave you.
Here I am five years old, cleaning the windows for mom,
thinking I'm doing a good job.
And she comes in and she shouts at me
because she's saying that she had them
professionally cleaned yesterday.
I must never trust myself again.
And so we shut off from our intuition,
we stop trusting ourselves, we second guess ourselves.
So it's like the splintering of self.
So the work is reconnection to your intuition
and strengthening that connection to source.
So, because it, it gives you safety in your nervous system
to have that connection.
Um, and it's a choice, isn't it?
You can either believe that you are alone and disconnected,
or you can believe in oneness.
Mm-Hmm. And you know, you've got a choice.
Yeah. And when we have those types of experiences
as children, even though they might seem minor,
but you, you, you add those up, they end up, you know,
becoming a very important part of us.
And then you add the fact that, you know, kids go into
a school system where they're sat for kind of seven,
eight hours looking forward at the person in charge.
And there are, there's only one
answer to all these questions.
And, uh, you can't look at the back
of the book because that's cheating.
Even though, you know, when you get older
and you would have a question
and you would collaborate with other human beings to come
to a result or another one that you might trial.
Like, yeah, it's very, it's very easy to understand
how imagination, creativity, um, and even motivation
and like luster would disappear under those circumstances.
Um, and there's so much that we can do, especially
as parents, as role models to help
help us facilitate these incredible human beings
that we have that can teach us
so much if we just like let them.
Um, and I think a lot of what we've discussed today, a lot
of the, the work that you do allows individuals
to become incredible parents.
And hopefully we can, we can have an army
of practitioners coming out there teaching parents
who can teach their kids to raise them,
to actually have this skillset as an innate part
of their human physiological experience, rather than having
to learn it when they're 40, when they've gone
through all these crazy things.
Um, I think we create, we're gonna create a new generation
of, of highly attuned, um,
individuals. Yeah. Yeah. Um,
I'm really excited for our children's generation.
I really am. Um,
because I always say, you know, what I teach should be,
you know, the mindfulness that I teach and the,
and the metacognitive psychology
and the polyvagal work that I teach,
this should be taught in schools.
Come on. This is how we function.
Like, just understanding your organism is so powerful.
So I'm really excited for our children's generation and,
and like what you said about the te
you know, there's only one answer.
Well, that makes me even more proud
that my children at a Waldorf school,
because they start from the whole
and then, you know, work out how many ways you can get there
to, you know, many different ways.
Yeah. That's perfect. That's beautiful.
Um, just to kind of finish off,
I know you are nine hours ahead of me in Spain, so I, I'm,
I'm aware you've probably got some caramel malt tea there
while I'm sipping my coffee, but, um, I don't want
to keep you too long, but this is just great stuff.
I was just gonna finish up with a question in regards
to like, what can people do kind of like right now
to take a little bit more ownership
and get closer towards that freedom of the kind
of trapped, contained self?
Yeah, so the first thing is realize, just realizing
that you are not your thoughts.
I mean, you're not even your body.
You have a body, you are a spirit,
and you are certainly not your thoughts.
Your thoughts are popping off from your subconscious mind,
70,000 of them every day.
And we are so identified by them.
So just having like a little gatekeeper in your mind
and just being the observer of your thoughts
and being able to be objective
and go, wasn't that interesting how I just spoke to myself?
And realize that it's time to start speaking to yourself.
Like you're, like, you're nurturing a newborn baby.
Um, just notice. And you're like, you knock something over
and you start swearing at yourself.
Just start speaking
to yourself like you would a little child.
Be really soft and gentle
and start questioning what,
when you are in an emotional state,
what story am I telling myself here?
You know, I, for for example, I had a client whose husband,
he cycled back from work
and he, you know, he obviously worked past the hour
that he would normally work
and then he got on his bike and his trying to get home.
But when he got home, she was raging.
Her interpretation of it was that she didn't matter.
She was raging. 'cause it, she took it.
It's like, well what story are you telling yourself?
Like, there's so many different stories
you can tell yourself here.
Um, but that was her childhood wound. I don't matter.
Um, so,
and we always tell ourselves the most painful
story to protect ourselves.
'cause then I'm prepared. This is metacognitive psychology.
So start telling yourself a better story
and asking yourself, well, what story could I tell myself
that would be, that would actually enhance my life,
that would feel expansive.
Beautiful. Yeah. It sounds like, um, it's a recommendation
to step into the present moment.
And there's so many amazing practices to do that.
I remember when I was beginning practicing, um,
subconscious work and, um, work with like Dr.
Joe Dispenza and kind of all
of his amazing stuff was doing like walk Walk.
Yeah. He's, he's amazing. His, uh, like walk meditation.
So I would walk with no musical distraction,
but I would actually describe the things that I was seeing
to stay in the present moment rather than like allowing my
mind to drift off and not be in that wonderful environment.
So there's some amazing options out there for people
to be able to, to begin this work,
to start on their journey.
But yeah, so I really appreciate the recommendation,
Chloe. Thank you so much.
Thank you. And I,
but also just to add to what you were saying,
when you're out walking, just noticing what that is.
To be appreciative of the colors
and the trees, you know, just looking
to appreciate everything.
Mm-Hmm. And that is beautiful.
'cause you know, gratitude is the language of the universe
and so just being present and connected, gorgeous.
Yeah, there's a lot of beauty around us
and it can be very, uh, easy for a lot
of people to kind of forget that.
But we've got access to just so much beauty around us
and we can choose it.
You know, we can choose how we interpretate that.
Um, amazing. Chloe, well can you just let us know
how people can connect
with you if they wanna learn more about what you do?
