WHAT'S NEW
Neurons & Anxiety
Neurons that fire together, wire together.
If your brain fires off two neurons, or perhaps two networks of neurons, at the same time then they will begin to become wired together.
For example, when you see or think of the Nike logo, what phrase comes to mind?
“Just do it.”
These two networks, the Nike logo and the phrase “Just do it.”, get to know each other. Once intertwined they start firing together becoming a single network.
Soon, you may find that one naturally goes with the other!
How might this relate to anxiety?
Consider for a moment a young girl in school.
During show and tell she becomes nervous.
In high school when presenting to the class she becomes extremely nervous.
In her first job, she has to present in a boardroom and becomes so nervous that she begins to have a panic attack.
Through conditioning this woman’s brain has wired two things together- presenting to a group of people and being nervous to create one mental circuit!
Presenting to group of people = Feeling nervous
Does this sound familiar?
How can we create positive change?
Fortunately there are many ways to interrupt this conditioning and create new circuits in your brain so that you feel empowered with the ability to move forward feeling more comfortable.
I may teach you simple yet amazing neuroplasticity tools.
We may use hypnosis to anchor in some wonderful resources such as feeling calm or comfortable.
And the more you use these tools and bring in those resource anchors the more neurons and neural networks will be recruited and working for you!

Pain management and the Mind-Body Connection
Living with Chronic Pain?
We are never disconnected at the neck!
Whatever happens in our minds- emotions, thought processes, perceptions, the five senses- is always reflected in our bodies. And, in the same way, what happens in our bodies is reflected and recorded in our minds. Some of the most important of these happenings have to do with pain- be it emotional, psychological or physical.
The very nature of hypnosis and self-hypnosis is helpful in coping with pain. Why? It is the opposite of being in a pain state. How can hypnosis help with pain?
Promotes relaxation
Changes your sense of pain
Distraction may help you focus on comfortable parts of your body
Self-hypnosis is easier to learn after you yourself have experienced hypnosis a few times. Kristine can teach you this! And learning and practicing self-hypnosis will put you back in charge of your experience!
Kristine offers her clients a variety of mind body options, including both outside resources, such as guided meditations and hypnosis audios and will engage your inner resources, to start changing the way you have been doing things up to this moment. So, rather than repeating those day to day patterns as you may have been in the past, she will offer you some ideas to build on, to investigate so you can notice how things begin to change moving forward. .
Pain may be mandatory, if you have a chronic illness or physical tissue damage, but suffering is optional.
