In episode 82, I interview acupuncturist and certified hypnotherapist, Michelle Oravitz, about using hypnotherapy to shift our thoughts, beliefs, and overall mindset to support fertility. While hypnosis might sound a little out there to some of you, there’s actually a strong scientific basis for how and why it works and it is recognized as a legitimate psychological tool. Because most of our thoughts and behaviors in a given day are governed by our subconscious mind, making lasting changes to how we think, feel, believe, and act on a daily basis requires us to tap into the subconscious and change what’s happening in the brain’s autopilot mode. Thoughts and beliefs can have a significant impact on fertility outcomes and, if you’ve been struggling on your journey for a while, chances are you’ve developed some beliefs and thought patterns about your body or your chances at motherhood that aren’t serving you. In this episode, Michelle is going to teach you about:

• What hypnotherapy is, how it works, and some of the misconceptions about its use
• The specific and measurable changes in brain activity that make hypnotherapy such an effective tool for changing subconscious beliefs
• How this benefits fertility and some of the issues or conditions that tend to respond well to this approach
• How hypnotherapy integrates with acupuncture and Chinese medicine
• The logistics of what you can expect with with hypnotherapy - how to find someone to work with, online vs. in person sessions, and how many sessions you should plan to have
