Wake Up Calls with Todd & Gina Goodwin

Why do so many people break up with someone and then get back together several times? There are many subconscious or emotional reasons why people stay in, or return to, relationships that they rationally know are unhealthy or dysfunctional for them, including situations as extreme as cheating and abuse. It’s actually very similar to an addiction or emotional compulsion like smoking, drugs, or alcohol. Often such a situation is caused by an imbalanced perception of your partner, great sex, infatuation, comfort zone, and fear of being alone or codependency, often due to low self-worth or belief that it’s not possible to find a better relationship. It’s NOT due to an “addictive personality” but rather one or several disempowering beliefs. Learn how Todd and Gina have used their methods to break clients’ compulsive relationships and finally break free.

Grief is an issue that most of us have experienced at least once, often as an emotional response to the death of a loved one. Do you realize that your grieving experience largely depends upon your beliefs? Beliefs are learned and can be unlearned. This means that such suffering is culturally programmed and not required or even necessary to process your loss in a healthy way. Unfortunately, most people in our Western society are unaware of the true nature of grief and their power to overcome it, so they needlessly suffer for months, years, or decades and often develop secondary issues like fears, unhealthy habits, and even illness. As a result, reminders of their loved one may bring sadness, guilt, or anger, which actually dishonors the loved one and blocks feelings of love. Listen to Todd and Gina discuss the key beliefs and perceptions that cause grief and discover how you can shift your thinking, so you can once again feel connected to your loved one with love rather than sadness.

Obesity and alcohol abuse are almost always symptoms of unresolved emotional issues (often trauma), which means that those unresolved issues must be addressed to create lasting behavioral change. Todd and Gina discuss two examples of clients who got mediocre results because they deliberately failed to disclose important traumatic experiences from their past. While sharing specific details usually isn’t necessary, it’s critical to reveal emotionally-charged events to your hypnotist to increase your odds of a successful outcome. Todd also offers a simple technique to determine if a past experience is currently affecting you emotionally or physically. This has major implications for potential future illness or immune problems. In addition, he shares an interesting and useful method of assigning excess body fat or unwanted habits to your emotional baggage.

If you want help to solve your personal challenges, it’s critical to select a practitioner whose treatment philosophy includes the following points: First, they believe that you are a whole person with a THINKING PROBLEM that can be solved, as opposed to a diagnosed disorder that must be managed. Second, they must focus on the ROOT CAUSE of the symptoms, not just the obvious symptoms. Third, they must be skilled and experienced working directly with the SUBCONSCIOUS mind, which is the most effective and efficient way to resolve any emotional or behavioral issue at the root. Gina discusses three past clients whose stories illustrate how simple it can be to solve obvious problems (symptoms) when the underlying, often not obvious, cause is addressed effectively. One client had a face-picking habit, another client suffered from insomnia, and the third was a former sex slave who was able to improve in SEVERAL DOZEN areas after Gina neutralized her multiple traumas and self-worth issues.

It's human nature to see life experiences as either good or bad, and this polarized perception creates emotional volatility, including feelings of resentment, regret, guilt, grief, and fear (as well as what we think of as positive emotions). The actual reality (contrary to our impulsive judgments) is that there are always two sides to the coin, and it's our incomplete awareness and resulting judgment that causes our emotional ups and downs. Todd and Gina explore this phenomenon and share the story of a client who was able to balance her stress-inducing perception of a significant financial loss and actually come to feel gratitude for the experience. What has happened in your life that you have judged as "bad" in some way? If you're willing to consider how it also may have served or benefited you, then listen to this episode and learn how to apply the technique that has helped many clients of Goodwin Hypnosis.
