Authenticity and Transparency in Growth

Posted on by

Hey friends, HypnoBreakthrough is growing! 

In the interest of authenticity, transparency, vulnerability and continued growth, I’m excited to share with you all how my practice is growing. I’m also hoping that by writing this out I will gain some clarity. I am open to any guidance, and your wise words of wisdom. (leave a comment or feel free to contact me privately with the contact form on the home page or email me at Pamela@HypnoBreakthrough.com)

Starting from the beginning in 2010 I was searching for a more holistic way to assist people on their healing journey than nursing. At that time, I had been a licensed nurse for a whopping 3 years. Already disenchanted and even disgruntled, for many reasons.

I decided to look into ways to assist people in a more natural healing path than the medical route. So, took a course that included a sort of intro into a few different holistic modalities. Hypnotherapy was included in that. I then put all my focus there, and went through level one and two of Hypnotherapy courses.

However, I wasn’t in the best position in life to be able to quit nursing all together. I practiced some with friends, and friends of friends. I brought hypnotherapy into my nursing when I could. 

In 2020 I decided to go for my dreams once again, knowing I had to get out of nursing. I had some major pushes, and pulls from the universe that it was the right time. I attended classes again, and attained my board certification. 

Then started my own Hypnotherapy practice. 

As we go through anything new, we grow as we go. I quickly realized I wanted to offer more, along with hypnotherapy for my clients, and decided to take an “Integrative, Healing Arts Practitioner” diploma course. There were options on which to focus my learning, one was more spiritual guide/coach and I went in that direction. 

A few of the classes with in this course:

Angels and Guides

Intuitive Guidance 

Spiritual traditions

Mysticism and universal laws

Prayer therapy and mindful meditation

Creating ceremony and sacred space

Ministerial duties and homiletics

Death Dying and hospice 

Developing your spiritual gifts 

Spirit directed coaching 

Transpersonal Psychology

Among others focused on business, coaching and other holistic modalities. 

I have been learning so much, and doing very well (so-far) loving it all. I know this was the right decision. I am in my mid/late 50’s as some of you know. I am unsure at this moment where all of this fits in within HypnoBreakthrough. I know some self hypnosis, prayer and meditation (and time) will bring clarity. 

As of right now (Jan. ‘23) I still have a year left in the course. However we are encouraged to practice or offer what we have learned to clients. 

Also, at this time, something else happened that feels like a gift, or a meaningful “sign”. I found out that I have been ordained since 2011 as a non-denominational minister by the Universal Life Church. I barely remember, however I do have a couple ideas as to why I went through that process at that time. 

In my course I thoroughly enjoyed creating ceremonies for renewal of vows, baby blessing, and an end of life ceremony (non denominational, not tied to any particular religion) 

I thoroughly believe in the power of Hypnotherapy. I love how transformative it can be for so many. (check the testimonials page) My bigger than life “Dream Big” dream, is a healing center with other practitioners, and healing gardens on the property, with a labyrinth, water feature, and gazebo as well. As of right now I’m completely virtual, which definitely has it’s advantages for myself as well as my clients. The Holistic Healing center would have some virtual, with most on site.

“The possibility of the dream gives strength.” -Lailah Gifty Akita

“My goal is to show young women and girls that our voices and ideas matter, and you are never too young to dream big!” -Marsai Martin (never to young, or too old)

I’m very excited for what the future holds, and I’m so honored to have you on this journey with me. I do fully trust the universe that what is meant to be will. I also know that every single thing started as an idea. Think about Disney, Rythmia life advancement center, SouthWest Institute of Healing Arts, Lego…. The list goes on. It’s true that ideas, thoughts and words have power. I have imagined this clearly, I have details – I know its out there for me and will show up at the perfect timing. However I do know that clarity on HypnoBreakthrough and the ways in which I serve within this practice needs clarity and I also know that it will come.

Thank you for reading. 

Please take care, inside and out. 

Blessings to you all,

How was 2020 a good year?

How was 2020 a good year?

While the world was (and still is at the time of this writing) in crisis, in many ways for some, 2020 was actually a good year. In fact for many, it was one of the best ever. Myself included. 

People have realized what is really important in life. Life changes were made, some forced upon us, but for others it gave them time to reflect back. We had been so tired, or stuck in a rut or a pattern of unhealthy habits without a second thought. Feeling powerless to make a big change out of fear of the unknown. Many because of responsibility and obligation. When the rug gets pulled out from under us sometimes it takes that big upheaval to make much needed changes. 

Authors Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut, both of whom have been cited with versions of the quote “We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down”

There is a saying that the universe will give you whispers, then it will shout at you, then if you still don’t move, you will get knocked off your feet:

“I needed to make you uncomfortable or else you wouldn’t have moved” – The Universe. 

Please make no mistake, I am not at all saying that all the loss, death, confusion and more, was a good thing. There is no denying that there has been so much seriously heartbreaking, anxiety and trauma inducing events and circumstances throughout the year. I am also not saying to bury your head in the sand and pretend it was all good. I am saying that there is still good in the world, and there is good that came from the storm. When the dust finally settles, and we can pick up the pieces, many will be in a much better place for it. 

My heart goes out to families of those who lost everything, including loved ones during this past year. I send my heartfelt condolences, love and prayers to each and every one of you. 

Let’s look at this past year as a lesson. To notice what we value, and where we spend our time and energy. Allow this time to motivate us to build ourselves, our families and our communities back up. Take this opportunity to give where you can, to count your own blessings, to remember you never know what someone is going through in their lives and families, now more than ever. 

On a personal level, ask yourself if you want 2021 to be the same as 2019 for your own life …. Where were changes needed, and what have you gained in life lessons and self awareness this past year? Several ways in which to self reflect; spend time alone in nature,  in meditation or prayer. Write it out, get clear with your inner voice, oftentimes writing will bring out things from deep within that you don’t expect. 

Self care is so important, not just physical health to help strengthen our immunity, but mental health care is also much needed at this time. Those who already had mental health issues have been finding this year much harder to handle, and those that had no mental health issues are now finding themselves depressed, or anxious. 

Hypnotherapy is very helpful to relieve stress, to  get clarity with your inner self, your own values and help to motivate you to do better. Break old patterns and habits. Please keep in mind nothing is a cure all and not one type of treatment or therapy works for all. It’s important to do your own trial and error, self study with patience and diligence to find your own best treatments. The complementary treatments and ‘tool box’ approach is great for many, combining different methods to help you get the best results. 

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns or to schedule a free consultation. Thank you for reading this and being here. 

Please take care.
