Yet somehow you ended up right back where you started.  Hypnotherapist and Master NLP Practitioner Aaron James Yager has a simple explanation: the part of you making the decision is not the part running the show. The subconscious manages the body and the behavior, and its first job is keeping you safe, which means it treats anything unfamiliar as a threat -- including the life you say you want. In this episode, we get into: Why willpower keeps losing to the subconscious, and where that programming comes from What hypnotherapy actually is, as distinct from the version you have seen on a stage The parallel between an inhibited muscle that will not fire and a belief that will not shift, and why speaking affirmations in the mirror so often do nothing Combining the Neubie, breathwork and hypnotherapy in a single session to promote the neurological perception of safety  How to up-regulate or down-regulate in under fifteen breaths At NeuFit, we\u2019re often working on the nervous system from the outside in, through direct electrical input.
