Why change feels difficult even when you want it. Trauma informed nervous system insight from Advanced Hypnotherapist Diane Taylor.
Have you ever decided to change a habit, reaction or thought pattern and felt hopeful at first, only to find yourself procrastinating, avoiding or tightening up?
You are not lacking willpower.
Your nervous system protects what feels familiar.
In this episode, Diane Taylor, Advanced Hypnotherapist and Master Practitioner of NLP with over fifteen years in full time practice, explains why sustainable change requires safety first.
In This Episode You’ll Learn
• Why motivation is cognitive but safety is physiological
• How familiarity influences your nervous system
• The difference between urgency and readiness
• Why relaxation alone does not create lasting change
• How to recognise when your body is asking for reassurance
