Berkeley Hypnosis & Pain Management

This method is the basis of everything I do as a somatic hypnotherapist. It heals anxiety and trauma, and also whatever the underlying reason is that you reach for a bag of chips, a bottle of booze, or a cigarette or a joint when you are uncomfortable.

This is what finally healed my anxiety and trauma after 21 therapists couldn't do it. And it's based on neuroscience.

It’s something called memory reconsolidation.

Keep reading and I’ll show you how you can activate this process to turn leftover discomfort from difficult childhood memories...

Into unconditional self-love... that dissolves anxiety.

But first, if you don't know me, I'm Mahesh Grossman, a somatic hypnotherapist and the author of "The One Minute Anxiety Solution."

For the last ten years, I've used this process thousands of times to help clients resolve most or all of their anxiety within 10 sessions.

The vast majority of them feel a shift right during their first session.

Memory reconsolidation is an uncomplicated two-step process.

The first step is to connect to a memory that made you sad, mad, or scared… without being upset by those feelings.

When you allow yourself to feel a difficult emotion while you're calm, it gives your brain permission to "edit" the memories that caused it.

It’s as if you were opening a Word document.

Then we revisit the mom, dad, or other authority figure who hurt you—and through a simple guided process, we get the version of them that lives in your subconscious mind to spontaneously change how they respond.

This loving new emotional experience replaces your old pain and rewrites your memory.

Since your brain no longer senses danger, it dissolves the anxiety linked to that recollection.

This works best for people who already know there's something from childhood—whether it's a single experience or a recurring pattern—that still upsets them.

If that's you, and you want to experience how memory reconsolidation can help you begin to overcome one thing that makes you anxious…

I have a free 5- minute video that walks you through the exact process I use with each of my clients.

Want it? Comment the word MEMORY below.

Are you carrying emotional doggy bags from your childhood? This is from my Self-Worth Reboot page.

Those of us who still deal with anxiety carry emotional doggy bags we may not realize are there. But…

We don’t have to keep them.

Let me explain.

We packed away all the things we weren’t allowed to feel — anger, fear, sadness, and even our unmet needs — and carried them into adulthood.

Therapy may have helped you understand WHAT’S in these bags.

But it didn’t teach you how to truly EMPTY them.

That’s where my work starts.

I help you change the negative inner voice in your subconscious… that tells you you're not safe enough or good enough... and is the real cause of anxiety…

To a positive voice that spontaneously fills you with unconditional self- love.

(Even if your conscious mind believes you’re “over” the childhood experiences that hurt you.)

This isn’t just different from traditional therapy…

It's also unlike most body-based (somatic) approaches.

And there’s no need to rehash the story of what happened.

One client wrote on Yelp that 3 sessions with me were more powerful than 20 years of psychoanalysis.

If you request the free video I’m about to offer you — and actually TRY the framework inside — you’ll get a sense of why he wrote that.

So if you’re ready to break free of anxiety at the deepest level…

Comment CHANGE and I’ll send you a short video that walks you through the exact method I use with clients to gently release buried emotions in minutes.

You’ll find and release one emotional doggy bag from childhood that you're still carrying…

And heal a whole new layer of anxiety today.

Want to lower stress fast. Try this technique from my Ebook, The One Minute Anxiety Solution" with 57 ways to lower anxiety in 60 seconds. It's at OneMinuteAnxietySolution.com

The imagery for this method comes from a scene you’ve undoubtedly viewed during a sci-fi or horror movie; or perhaps you’ve seen it in a commercial. There’s nothing scary about this method.

Start off by picturing yourself with a friendly, mad scientist in their basement la-BOR-a-tory.

Notice that they have a beaker with a bubbling, steaming, smoking liquid inside it.

They hand the beaker over to you.

Become aware of the texture of the beaker. Let yourself hear the bubbling sound.

Begin to drink the liquid inside it. After you take a few swallows, pay attention to any changes that happen inside you.

Continue drinking the liquid until you finish it.

Let yourself feel the transformation.

The energy in your body may have a slightly different feel to it now. It may seem lighter and freer.

You may notice that it’s easier to take the action that you’ve been resisting.

Go ahead and do it.

Sometimes what we avoid is the experience of a certain emotion that we have been taught to avoid.

This method also helps with that.

A client of mine named Phoebee was married to a man who left her for another woman.

Phoebee was able to feel her anger at the other woman, but she didn’t feel any anger toward her husband, who betrayed her trust.

He, of course, was the person she was the angriest with.

Though Phoebee understood this logically, she just couldn’t connect to it.

We discovered, through hypnosis, that her mother had subconsciously given her a message that it wasn’t acceptable to be angry with men.

The Bubbling Beaker technique allowed Phoebee to break free from this message.

After drinking one cup from the beaker of the mad scientist, Phoebee was able to tap into her anger at her cheating ex for the first time.

The Bubbling Beaker method helped her break through her resistance. It can do the same for you.

I'm working on offering my Defy Trauma process, which finds and heals the root cause of anything that we do that isn't working in our life, to addiction treatment centers. I'm going to a conference in 3 weeks. I just designed my business card for my new company, Sobriety Shield. Anything i can do to make it better?

Also, if you have any contacts in the treatment center world, let me know.

Is there something you haven't forgiven yourself for? Don't let it weigh you down. Come to my FREE Self-Forgivenss Workshop This Thursday. Click this link for info: https://berkeleyhypnosis.lpages.co/self-forgiveness/

Since a lot of people have something they haven't forgiven themselves for, can you help me let other people know?

Human beings can be worse than elephants.

They say an elephant never forgets, but as humans, there's often a part of us that never FORGIVES. Especially ourselves.

That's why I'm thinking of doing a free workshop on self-forgiveness.

So if there's something you haven't forgiven yourself for, and you'd finally like to free yourself from the guilt or shame you are carrying, DM me and let me know you'd be interested in this type of session.

If enough people message me by Thursday, I'll do it.

Here's the thing:

No matter what it is we did or didn't do, whether it was to ourselves or others, forgiving ourselves is an essential part of inner healing.

And we have more to give to others when we stop beating ourselves up over past misdeeds.

So if you are interested in a free workshop that will bring you self-forgiveness for something you've been holding against yourself, message me by Thursday.

(By the way, forgiving yourself won't make you more likely to make the same error again. Once you realize that you've made a mistake, you're a different person than the one who made it.)
