Most people seem to easily understand that negative feelings (aka “stress”) have a negative effect on their health.

What we THINK HAS an EFFECT on the PHYSICAL BODY.

What most people have missed is that “it goes both ways”. If we accept that negative feelings can negatively effect our health, well…. More resourceful feelings can have a positive impact on our health.

As many of us move into making the difficult decisions of how to balance our need for physical safety, against our human need to engage socially and our economic survival, managing your stress, at a minimum, is as vital to good health as is breathing.

And the tools of the hypnotic arts offer us both; ways to better manage the stress and ways to tap into those resourceful states for better health.

To better manage your stress, you are always welcome to drop in on our FREE COVID Support Group, now in it’s 24th week, Thursday mornings at 9:30am. https://www.meetup.com/TampaBayHypnotherapy-Community-Group/. And if you want us to start a night group, now that more of us are back to work and school, please send us a note to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We will start a list.

If you would like to explore some new tools we are starting a BOOK CLUB: “Words That Change Your Life-TBHT Bookclub”. Our first selection will be : “Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life”, a workbook by Stephen Hayes/Spencer Smith, that blends Mindfulness and Cognitive Strategies into a self-development practice known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). https://www.meetup.com/TampaBayHypnotherapy-Community-Group/events/272941543/

To tap into more resourceful states for better health, our FREE September Meetup is “Imagery to Enhance Immunity”. You MUST be registered to attend this on-line event. https://www.meetup.com/TampaBayHypnotherapy-Community-Group/events/272934328/

I am trusting each of you to be taking good care of you as we keep moving forward. Tamera

Consciously, we are thinking “ I don’t want to eat too much this holiday.” “ I don’t want to drink too much…, spend too much…, you name the habit.

BUT it is the season of excess and so for many of us, those powerful unconscious impulses override all of our good, conscious, intentions. In the hypnotic arts we say the conscious and unconscious are out of rapport, they are on conflict with one another ( and a note: the unconscious almost always wins).

January 2nd arrives and we have put on an extra 2 pounds we will not get rid of ( research shows it adds up over the years), there may be long term consequences from the alcohol abuse, credit debt that takes until next December to pay off, and New Year Resolutions that we will probably not keep and feel bad about not keeping.

It’s easy to avoid those temptations…when your unconscious is in alignment with the consciously held goal. You do this everyday, you might be tempted to run a red light but your conscious and unconscious agree, you don’t want a ticket or to be in an accident so you stop (most of us).

The trick of course is aligning the conscious and unconscious, which is the goal of the hypnotic arts.

What if your unconscious agreed that that the rewards for your restraint are far greater than the rewards of your excess. Behavior would easily and effortlessly flow from this alignment would it not?

Our FREE monthly MeetUp for November to kick off the holiday season is “ Resisting Temptation: Hypnosis and Life Mastery”. On-line, Thursday 11/11 at 7pm.
