Healing All With Hypnosis
Wendi is a healer, teacher, and creative marketing expert. In the early ‘90s, when Wendi was a broke single mom of two, she discovered hypnotherapy classes, which led her to create an incredibly successful business helping people. Within a year, Wendi started a million-dollar business that has since grown. Today, she has helped countless people worldwide heal from past traumas that impacted their personal and professional lives, as well as their health.
Today, on the FM Shift, Wendi teaches us about the risks and benefits of hypnotherapy for functional medicine practitioners to use in our personal lives and as an alternative treatment for our patients.
Positive Intention
Did you know that the power of suggestion is real? As functional medicine providers, we know how powerful our treatments can be. However, the way we present information to our patients is just as powerful.
When a traditional doctor tells a patient, “You need surgery and could have many complications with recovery,” this provides the patient with a negative intention. While the doctor likely didn’t mean to plant negative thoughts in the patient, there is a better way to communicate. These negative thoughts can lead to fear in patients and truly inhibit their recovery time. Instead, why not say, “You need surgery, but most people recover quickly, though there are a few who take more time than others to heal.”
By reframing our language, we can help create even better outcomes for our patients. Plus, the way we phrase our words can also lead to better doctor-patient relationships.
Beliefs Can Hold Us Back or Help Us Thrive
When building a functional medicine practice, we face many obstacles. One obstacle is attracting patients, especially when many insurance companies won’t cover our practice. With COVID creating a unique market, it’s been easy for functional medicine practitioners to feel defeated and like we’ll never build a successful, thriving practice.
However, there’s proof around every corner that COVID doesn’t have to stand in our way.
Believing that COVID is why your business isn’t thriving might be a limiting belief holding you back. When we hold on to limiting beliefs, there might be more to the story. Perhaps it’s a fear of failure or even a fear of success. There are many reasons a limiting belief may be holding you back. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
When we open ourselves to the possibilities by removing limiting beliefs, we can see how much our services as functional medicine providers can benefit the world. Switching mindset from COVID is ruining our lives to COVID provides us with an opportunity to help even more people.
