The prime directive is to keep you safe and alive and away from things that cause you pain. Now that does not sound too bad, right? Well if you have ever had an emotional event (a difficult break up or perhaps lost a job for example) happen to you which your subconscious mind attached a feeling or emotion to, it's job is to keep you from ever doing it again. Because you will have strong emotions and feelings causing you to second guess your decision, it will be difficult to push your way to the change you want. As an adult, you are able to navigate the world using logic and reason in addition to feelings and emotions; a child cannot. The part of the brain we as adults use to reason is called the Prefrontal Cortex and children do not have this part of the mind functioning until around the age of 8 and not fully developed until around the age of 25.

​

During our very early years we are in "observation" mode and learning through modeling what others do, how other's react to events in their lives and of course what we are told, both directly and indirectly. Without the aid of the Prefrontal Cortex we are simply allowing all of these "instructions" on how to navigate the world direct access to our subconscious mind; to the hard drive of our minds.

​

While we do prune and eliminate some of the programing we are given at birth, some of the more traumatic events we experienced in our youth create strong emotional responses which are much stronger and do take some work to eliminate. Hypnotists are trained to help you "rewrite" the programing, or at least the response to triggers that activate the old pattern and free yourself from the self-defeating limiting beliefs held as protection. 

​

Over the last 15 years, what I have discovered is that rewriting the "programming" in the subconscious mind's Prime Directive, can happen quickly. Often with only a few sessions. As a hypnotist, I have training in extensive techniques which allow you to access the emotional memory causing you "pain" and have you change the emotional memory to a neutral state. When this happens, the memory of the past even which used to cause you to become "triggered" simply does not matter any longer.

​

What if your life is being controlled by programming your Prime Directive believes is keeping you safe that no longer is true. Deciding to dive into what is holding you back is the most liberating action you can take. 

​

​So what is your next step? Perhaps it is time to consider what limiting beliefs are holding you back. Perhaps, it is time to take action to eliminate them, once and for all. ​​
