Believe in the Journey podcast where I am your host Trevita Harris, and tonight
2:23
we are going to be talking about a topic of childbirth and a different way
2:30
of women using hypno therapy to listen the pain and fear of childbirth. My
2:38
guest tonight will be Miss Terry Tushka and we will be talking with her about
2:46
the Hypno Birthing Foundation and how she is one of the founders and directors of
2:55
Hypno Babies and Hypno Birthings. She loves being a childbirth educator, juelist,
3:01
and speaker and hypno therapists. She's been doing this for over thirty years and
3:07
she loves teaching families to trust their minds, bodies, and babies through the
3:10
process of childbirth. Carrie is very passionate about her work as a hypno therapist.
3:16
Sharing the power of the mind to enhance life brings her so much joy.
3:23
But before we get into that, I want to go to God in
3:27
prayer because you know we cannot do anything without Him. So, Dear Heavenly
3:31
Father, thank you for bringing us together as you do each and every time
3:36
we are in front of you. Please allow anyone listening to take what they
3:40
need to guide them in the direction that is safe and near, and dear
3:46
to you, keep them out of harm's way, protect them and guide them
3:51
in the way that you see fit. In your precious and holy name,
3:53
Jesus, we pray, Amen, and please welcome Ms Carrie to the show.
4:00
Yeah, m hmm, I think your only mute. Uh oh,
4:16
I gotta get you unmuted. M I don't know, it's just muted right
4:32
now? Can you U mute yours? Because I think that's what it is.
4:49
It should be down close to the bottom of here. We found it,
4:59
okay, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. Gremlin's crept
5:03
in. It's okay, but we always end up with some form of technical
5:11
difficult cute whenever we do this show. So without it, I don't think
5:15
it would be as good as it is. So it still keeps everybody entertained
5:19
and they wait patiently for everything. So again, welcome, thank you,
5:27
thank you for having me. I really appreciate it and I just love talking
5:30
about things that help people to have a better life. Yes, ma'am,
5:35
now with hypno birthing, what got you started with this? Well, it
5:43
was my own births that got me started in this. I was just minding
5:46
my own business many years ago. I was a worked at a stock brokerage
5:53
firm as what's called a sales assistant, and I was firstly married and a
5:58
friend of ours from church she gave birth to her first baby, and she
6:03
did it without drugs, and I was fascinated. She told me all about
6:08
it and how it really hurt, and she was in a lot of pain,
6:12
but she was glad she did it unmedicated. Well, I didn't even
6:15
know that was a thing. I didn't know people did that. I thought
6:18
they just went in, everybody got an epidural, and that was the thing
6:23
you did. So it fascinated me so much. And she had done a
6:28
particular kind of childbirth education class, so I looked that up and I became
6:34
fascinated with what they taught, and I became an instructor for that method of
6:42
natural childbirth and I taught classes. I was so loving it, you know,
6:48
all into everybody should have an unmdicated birth and this is the only way
6:54
to do it. And I also went to my student's birth as a dula,
7:00
which is a labor assistant, and so I would be with them helping
7:04
them through it. And I never charged as a duela at that time in
7:10
history. I just wanted to experience this beautiful thing with my students and really
7:15
help them. And about fifty percent of them had an unmedicated birthing. With
7:19
this particular method, and they you know, it was very painful, but
7:27
in my mind, I was thinking, you know, this is doable.
7:30
At least half of them are doing this, you know, the way they
7:33
wanted to in the first place. And so I thought I knew everything there
7:40
was to know about having a baby until I got pregnant, and then I
7:47
went into labor with my first and oh, my gosh, awakening. Yeah,
7:56
her little head was turned around at the back of her head was grinding
8:01
on the nerves in my spine. It's called back labor. Yeah, that's
8:07
the position is posterior when they're turned around, so they're not facing your back
8:13
as would be normal, but they're facing your front. So there's a lot
8:18
of pressure from their head on the nerves in your spine all the way down
8:22
and out. And it was excruciating, there's no other way to describe it.
8:30
And I was screaming my head off. And I had planned to give
8:35
birth at a birth center, so we went to the birth center, you
8:39
know, when I couldn't take it anymore at home, and they turned us
8:45
away. They said, you're one centimeter dilated. Here, I am,
8:48
I've already been in labor for an entire day and I was one centimeter dilated
8:54
and screaming my head off, and they turned away. They said, go
8:58
to a hook tell or motel, whatever, somewhere else and come back when
9:03
you're you know, you think you're about four centimeters dilated. So I did.
9:07
We my me and my entourage, and that's another thing I learned not
9:13
to have an entourage. But we went to a motel and I was screaming
9:18
there for hours while everybody waited, and it was it was just terrible.
9:24
It was so emotionally dreaming and traumatic to me. And when I went back
9:31
to the birth center they accepted me in I was four centimeters and then it
9:35
was just a nightmare. It was just trying desperately to find anything that would
9:41
help, and there was There's no such thing as just breathe or just relax
9:48
when you're in that kind of excruciating pain, and that's all I had that
9:52
those were the tools that I had. So it was bad, and it
9:56
was bad on my husband. It was bad on my mother and my sister
10:00
and my brother in law, all of whom were there to help me.
10:03
Bless their hearts, me worrying about them, and you know, the stress
10:09
that creates. You know. That is how I learned not to have a
10:15
lot of people around. Just keep it to a minimum, folks. Yes,
10:22
you know. So in the end, after quite a long time,
10:26
I was just screaming. Helped me, help me, and they put me
10:30
in a wheelchair, gave me an IV and wheelchaired me across the street screaming
10:35
to the hospital, where I saw the most miraculous person I've ever seen in
10:41
my life, the anesthesiologists cooking at me with a great big needle. Never
10:48
saw anything so beautiful in my life. So I had an epidural and then
10:56
I slept and cried for about six to seven hours. Oh wow, And
11:01
the baby was pushed and pulled out of me because I couldn't feel anything,
11:05
and I was traumatized. I had a beautiful princess. You know what that
11:11
feels like. Yeah, baby in your arms, and you're so happy and
11:16
elated, and there's a part of you that's just missing from the trauma,
11:22
that's just been yanked away because you're not the same, not the same,
11:30
not the same. I had. I had issues from the place in my
11:35
spine where the epidural was placed. I had pain shooting up and down,
11:39
my neck and back and legs everywhere for about three years from that spot,
11:46
and I didn't know that was a thing, you know, could have that,
11:50
but you know, I also was emotionally traumatized and I got PTSD from
11:54
it. And it wasn't until my precious daughter, at two and a half,
11:58
very verbal years old, said to me, Mommy, be happy.
12:03
I want to make you happy. And I just stopped and I just cried
12:09
and cried and cried because I wasn't able to smile. I wasn't able to
12:16
be happy. I didn't even realize what was happening to me, but I
12:20
was traumatized and I had PTSD. And it was the next day that I
12:28
went to get help. I didn't want my daughter ever feeling like it's her
12:33
job to make me happy. That woke me right up, and I went
12:37
and got medication. I got therapy. Then I got hypnotherapy, and that
12:41
was what did it, okay, that helped me so much. And then
12:46
four years to the almost to the day that I had my daughter, I
12:50
had my son and I was in a freestanding birth center with only my sister
12:58
and my husband at the midwife, and it was only seven hours as opposed
13:03
to a day and a half birthing, and his little head was turned round.
13:11
He was also posterior. Oh goodness. Yeah. So I was screaming
13:16
my head off with the pain and wondering why I did this to myself again.
13:20
And it was during one of the really awful contractions that my husband was
13:28
pushing on my back to try to help the pain. My sister was holding
13:33
my hands and I was squeezing the daylights out of them out of her hands.
13:37
And when it was over and I could hardly breathe from screaming, I
13:43
looked up into my sister's face and she was sobbing, and she said,
13:50
it should never have to be this hard. And that was it. The
13:54
light bulb went on over my head and I just decided, right there in
13:58
the of a labor that I was going to create whatever it was that was
14:05
necessary to make sure that people who wanted a more holistic experience out of their
14:11
birthing did not have to do this and experience this kind of pain and scream
14:16
through birth, and their babies hear them scream through birth and be traumatized afterwards.
14:22
Yes, and so it took me a couple of years, but I
14:30
realized hypnosis was a thing for childbirth by watching a show on TV that were
14:35
that obstrician actually helped his patients use hypnosis for childbirth. I was like,
14:41
that's it. And then I went and got trained at a regular hypno birthing
14:48
organization, and I was so excited, and I started teaching my classes and
14:54
going to those births, and my students weren't looking any different the students had
15:01
before with this other natural childbirth method. And I didn't know what I was
15:03
doing wrong, but it was not working how I had pictured it to work.
15:09
So I just said, I gotta find what I gotta find something else.
15:15
There's something missing. Yeah, So I went and studied hypnosis itself.
15:20
Then I studied hypnotherapy. Then I became a hypnotherapist, and then I found
15:26
out there was something called hypno anesthesia. And this is a real thing.
15:31
I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but it's a real thing
15:35
where people who have to have surgeries of different kinds, whether it's dental or
15:39
medical surgery, they can't have radical medical anesthesia because they are allergic to it.
15:52
So they worked with a hypnotherapist ahead of time for several months, and
15:56
those sessions that they do actually retrain their inner mind. She would perceived that
16:04
the surgeon's knife, the scalpel feels like a little tingling sensation or maybe a
16:11
pushing or pulling or stretching sensation, and that's how they're able to get through
16:17
the surgery and recovery without anesthetics. And once I found out that was a
16:22
thing, I just was like, well, that's it. Where can I
16:26
find this? Right? So I found a program called Gerald Kline's Painless Childbirth
16:33
Program and I got trained in that. And after I did, the man
16:40
who created it, Jerry, who was no longer with us but was an
16:44
amazing master hypnotist, I asked him if it'd be okay if I took these
16:49
techniques that he had created that were designed for hypnotherapists to use one on one
16:56
in their office with a patient, if I can put them into a child
17:00
birth education program, and he said, I cannot wait to see what you
17:04
create. Yes, And that was twenty two years ago, and I created
17:11
a complete childbirth education program because I learned from the other hypno birthing program that
17:15
you have to have your childbirth education at the same place as you get your
17:21
birth hypnosis or you're learning two different philosophies. Okay, that childbirth hurts and
17:29
it's just gonna hurt and you need to make friends with it and do the
17:32
best you can to avoid unnecessary pain. And the other one is childbirth can
17:37
be so much easier, very much easier, if you use your inner mind
17:44
and your belief systems. And that's completely different. So there's nothing wrong with
17:51
other childbirth programs, nothing at all. And I learned so much from the
17:55
childbirth programs that I did learn and teach, not what I was looking for.
18:02
I was looking for the big cahuna. Yeah, so that my students
18:10
could have the hypno anesthesia that they could have this these techniques that really really
18:15
help you to create hypno anesthesia throughout your entire birthing body. And that's what
18:21
I did in Hypno Babies and it's been amazing. Yeah. At what point
18:30
should a woman go through our start the process of before actual delivery? How
18:38
soon should they start? Well, we do suggest that our students start between
18:44
twenty eight and thirty weeks of pregnancy. Okay, course itself is six weeks
18:48
long, and when you are finished actually learning the course and reading all of
18:53
the material, because remember it's a complete childbirth education course, so you're learning
19:00
all the really amazing things about how to create your own birthing with nutrition and
19:06
exercise, staying healthy and low risk, all the stages of birthing, the
19:11
physical comfort techniques, all of those things, even new mom and baby care
19:15
and postpartum, so you learn all of that along with all of the hypnosis
19:21
and why you're doing certain hypnosis at certain times, and how it builds upon
19:26
itself as you go along in the course. So after you've done all of
19:32
that, the reading and the practice, then there is what's called a maintenance
19:36
period, and it is whenever you finish the six week course until your baby
19:41
is born, and you'll be listening to one main hypnosis track a day and
19:45
your affirmations track, which is amazing because with the hypnosis, you're being retrained
19:52
from the inside and with the affirmations you're being retrained from the outside, and
19:56
they work together in sync. So actuations are basically it's a track that you
20:03
can listen to anytime, driving, cooking, playing with the other kids,
20:07
whatever, and it's one line affirmations that help to keep your conscious mind,
20:14
you know, very very focused on your goal and that is really really important.
20:19
Okay, Yeah, I really believe that that is important. So it's
20:25
basically mind, body and everything intertwined together to keep you visually relaxed and not
20:32
overly stimulated to focus more on the fear, because I think childbirth is a
20:37
scary thing altogether, and most people don't understand that it's very It's really life
20:44
or death honestly, because you're going your body's going through so much at one
20:48
time that you don't really know what's going to happen from moment to moment,
20:53
because childbirth can take a turn for the worst in any given moment. But
20:59
I think being able to walk yourself through before you get to that end stage,
21:07
to still come in with a relaxed state of mind, and to have
21:11
a good support system that helps you from start to finish when you start this
21:15
makes it that transition and that date really easy to deal with. Yeah,
21:22
and we do have a wonderful fear clearing hypnosis track that allows you to listen
21:29
at any time, whether it's you know, when you've just gone to or
21:33
about to go to an obstetrical appointment, or you know, somebody says something
21:40
scary to you, like you know, boy, let me tell you all
21:42
about my horrible birth. Can those fears, and we do teach you also
21:49
to stay in what's called a mental bubble of peace that you create so that
21:56
when people start telling you those you can just go inside the bubble of peace
22:04
and everything that's negative bounces off of it. But you're also taught things to
22:08
protect yourself and your baby, like very nicely putting your hand up when they
22:15
start and say, oops, you know, we can't talk about that right
22:18
now, because that's not going to be me. You know, I'm planning
22:22
a different kind of birthings. So if you would, instead of telling me
22:27
what you were gonna say, tell me the most beautiful, joyful thing that
22:33
happened to you when you had your baby. Now the person needs to think
22:38
back and think of what that moment is. And it starts. They start
22:45
filling with endorphins and you know, these wonderful hormones that make us happy and
22:52
allow us to bond with our children and do other things. But they are
22:57
thinking about this and then there's saying it. It could be the moment I
23:03
found out it was a boy, or or you know, the moment I
23:08
held my baby first in my arms, or the second I looked at this
23:11
child and realized it had a dimple just like my husband. That most joyful
23:19
moment was they are thinking it, feeling it, producing these hormones, and
23:26
then they're feeling much much better than if they would have told you their whole,
23:30
negative, awful birth story. And so are you, and you're talking
23:36
yourself and your baby, and something really good has come out of this.
23:41
Yeah, that doesn't mean that birth stories don't need to be heard. They
23:45
just don't need to be heard by people who are pregnant. Yes, and
23:52
you know about to give birth. They need encouragement, and so we teach
23:57
it. We teach so many things each You know, how to create your
24:02
own birth plan, which we call birth preferences. That was one question.
24:07
Actually, so what are the benefits, the risks, and the alternatives of
24:12
all the common interventions. Other people call them interventions, but we call them
24:18
choices. And the reason we call them choices is because the number one thing
24:22
you're going to learn in Hypnobabi's Class number three is that you are one hundred
24:30
percent in control of every choice and decision made during your pregnancy, your birthing,
24:36
your postpartum, and with your baby's care. Okay, therefore, research
24:42
everything ahead of time, decide what it is that you want. Know that
24:47
you're going to be flexible if anything happens during the actual birthing, of course
24:51
you are. But then make a plan and know that you are making educated
24:56
decisions about all these things. So you're learning the benefits, the risks,
25:00
and the alternatives of all of these interventions, like having an IV. Not
25:06
everybody needs an IV pitocin, which can really rock your boat. Yes,
25:11
you know other things that can go wrong that cause a domino effect in childbirth,
25:18
and you can end up with a cesarean just by virtue of the fact
25:21
that you maybe agreed to a procedure or treatment that you didn't need. So
25:27
how to look at it ahead of time through the lens of evidence based information
25:37
that you need to then go and decide what would be right for you.
25:41
Those decisions belong to you. So this is all very very important information that
25:45
hypnobabies teaches. We do not tell people what to choose. We do not
25:52
care what decisions you make during your birthing, as far as you know that
25:57
they're yours. You know, we respect and honor the fact that people choose
26:03
what they need. They always choose what they and their babies need, and
26:07
it's always the right decision, right. People who say I don't want to
26:15
give birth, I want to have a Cisian, that's your choice. Oh
26:18
girl, you know, do your thing. Yeah, as long as you
26:26
are educated on what that means. Yeah, it is major surgery. So
26:30
it's important that people who make that decision understand that. That's all. Yeah.
26:37
I think this is really really a good thing. I wish I had
26:41
known about this, like I said, when I was seventeen and giving birth,
26:48
because it was not an option. It was well, at least,
26:52
it wasn't anything that was put in place to where I could have done that.
26:56
However, my daughter did decide that she wanted to come a little early
27:00
anyway, but not having another option, it was okay, well you're gonna
27:07
get an epidural. That was the only option I was really offered. It
27:11
wasn't do you want to be natural? Because I was seventeen, and so
27:18
the doctors all agreed, oh, well, she this is her first baby.
27:22
We don't want to have to deal with a lot of pain, her
27:26
screaming this, that and the other. But they actually over medicated me with
27:32
the epidural because after yeah, I went into labor around three o'clock that afternoon
27:40
in July, and I could not feel my I gave birth to her at
27:47
ten thirty four. Now at ten thirty four, you know, the epidural
27:52
should not last after that, probably a good thirty minutes after delivery as usual
28:00
about how long it should last. After that, I still could not feel
28:03
my legs at one o'clock in the morning, and I had to have assistance
28:07
to have someone help me to the bathroom because my legs still felt like jello
28:12
because they had given me so much. Like I'm only four to eight and
28:17
at that time I think I weighed probably one hundred and three pounds, so
28:22
they didn't have the right measurements for medicating me. So and I'm like,
28:27
Okay, it should not have taken this long for this stuff to wear off.
28:32
So now I have to still have someone help me to the bathroom.
28:36
This should not be this long. So I feel like if I had known
28:40
something about this, it probably would not have been so hard for me.
28:45
But I had been around people who had told me really bad stories about their
28:49
labor and how long they were in labor, and you know, having to
28:55
end up having an emergency C section and things of that nature. Who are
29:00
older women as well with their birth stories and so it was nothing that was
29:07
pleasant about the idea of going into giving birth. And then the doctors were
29:12
not listening when I was telling them that I was feeling pressure and everything until
29:18
it was time for me to push. Now, they gave me instructures on
29:22
how to push, but when it came down to actually doing it, I
29:26
was already crowning by the time they came in. So it was like,
29:30
you guys just didn't listen. I've been telling you for an hour that this
29:33
is what I'm feeling. Oh no, you're fine, there's no problems.
29:37
You know, this is your first baby. You're gonna be in labor for
29:40
hours. You may not even deliver until tomorrow. Well, I feel like
29:42
I got to go to the bathroom, so obviously something's happening. Can someone
29:47
check? No one checked, And when they did decide to check, she
29:51
was crowned. So it's one push and that was it. That's kind of
29:56
good. Yeah, that's a blessing. So I didn't do a lot of
30:00
pushing, not not the not listening to your part, you know, they
30:07
you know, It drives me crazy when they don't listen to birthing people right,
30:11
even the birth partner. It's not okay. And they think they know
30:18
everything because they've seen so many babies get born, but who knows who knew
30:22
that baby was coming the one that's pushing them out because they feel it right,
30:29
So they should really listen more. And the more you listen, the
30:36
more you will hear and see. Yes. Yes, Now I got one
30:42
more question. Do you feel like that this helps women to reduce their anxiety
30:51
and fear after taking these classes? Because I know a lot of them may
30:56
come in with really high emotions and anxiety over everything. So once they go
31:02
through the course, have you saw where they have a tremendous I guess you
31:08
could say a tremendous relaxation of what to expect because it's not so heightened anymore.
31:15
It's more of an at ease, filling in to be prepared and ready
31:21
without oh my god, I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know
31:26
this. That and the third so, do you feel like they're a little
31:29
bit more comfortable? Yes, As soon as our students start hypno babies.
31:37
Because of the nature of the different tracks that we have, they automatically start
31:45
to relax and calm down and realize that pregnancy and childbirth are perfectly normal.
31:51
And all the suggestions, which are mental directives inside of these tracks, they
31:56
all basically are have the same message, which is that this is going to
32:04
be much easier, much more comfortable. Even your pregnancy is going to be
32:08
better, your postpartum is going to be better. Of course, there are
32:12
different things on different tracks. There's twenty one of them that they all work
32:17
and compound each other one after the other with different cues and techniques and hypnosis
32:23
anchors and things like that, but the message remains. You know, how
32:30
much calmer they are, how much more relaxed they are about it, and
32:36
of course the affirmations as well on the fear clearing track, and we have
32:40
a track called Visualize your Birth, where you know, deeper into the course
32:46
you are able to create, and we don't tell you what to create.
32:52
We just guide you through the different stages of your birthing and then you create
32:55
emotionally and mentally the birthing that you want. And this is just a birthing
33:01
rehearsal in your mind that creates a blueprint for your conscious and subconscious minds to
33:09
follow, so you're able to create that birthing yourself, you know, on
33:15
an emotional and mental level, and that really really helps people to be ready
33:22
along with all of the other things that we have in hypno Babies, you
33:25
know, and we have a track that most people never ever hear, and
33:30
it's called the Change of Plants, and it is only for if you get
33:35
into your birthing and something is different than your original birth plan, then you
33:42
can still listen to this track and still stay deeply in hypnosis and work with
33:46
whatever that changes. Maybe we didn't want an IV, but we're getting one
33:52
because it's medically necessary, so we work with it. We flow right with
33:58
the change, you know, so the veins don't go flat and the blood
34:01
pressure doesn't spike, or the temperature doesn't spike and things like that, and
34:06
we can just roll on through the rest of the earthing still using hypnosis,
34:10
still calm, still relaxed, whatever happens. So there are many different things
34:16
to hypno Babies that we put in to really help people with the things that
34:22
can come up. One of them is that the birth partners get their own
34:25
hypnosis track. Yes, That is amazing because then they're able to write from
34:35
whenever we start hypno Babies in pregnancy, you know, hear these messages and
34:39
have a Q a hypnotic Q to become relaxed and calm at any time about
34:45
pregnancy and childbirth and how it's all very natural and normal, it's going to
34:51
go well, and that you're going to be really confident as a birth partner
34:54
and be calm and relaxed at the time, and you'll be able to help
34:59
really well and all of those things. So we've thought of just about everything,
35:06
Okay, because yeah, that was my other question. Does the partner
35:09
get some hypno therapy as well to be able to be supportive, because if
35:16
it's only just for the mom, I feel like the partner is not going
35:22
to be just as supportive because they don't actually understand what's going on and are
35:27
the techniques to help. Well, here's something about the birth partners we do.
35:34
If you do have a birth partner, and you don't have to have
35:37
one, because hypno Baby's just designed so that you could do it completely by
35:40
yourself and it would be perfect. However, for those who do have a
35:45
birth partner, we give them jobs we want them to read the materials as
35:50
well. We want them to listen to their track, and we want them
35:52
to know what these techniques and cues are. And there's a whole section in
36:00
one of our workbooks just for the birth partners to understand the program better,
36:05
to understand their role and pregnancy better, to understand their role and the birthing
36:08
better, with all kinds of Q words and freezes and what we call birth
36:15
prompts to help you with should you you'd want to hear their voice during your
36:20
birthing, you know, helping you along. You know, maybe touching your
36:23
shoulder or your forehead. Those are hypno baby's cues. If not, you
36:28
can do it all on your own with nobody else helping. But we do
36:31
give them a lot to do to help. Well. That's good to know
36:37
because I think having somebody there that knows what you've gone through from start to
36:44
finish with this process helps along the way because if you don't have it and
36:49
then doing it by yourself, and then there's that moment of uncertainty, and
36:54
if you're doing it by yourself, it you know, you know how to
37:00
walk yourself through a moment of anxiety because you've taken these courses and you've listened
37:06
to everything that is necessary. But if you have a partner, when they
37:10
know that you are getting in that anxious state, they know what techniques to
37:15
say or what phrases and what things to use to get you back in that
37:19
calm and relaxed state. So I think that works hand in hand together as
37:22
well. But it's a very interesting go ahead. Can I just explain to
37:30
people what hypnosis is? Yes, please do, because most people think that
37:36
hypnosis is what they see on the stage where the hypnotists plucks somebody out of
37:40
the audience and then makes them quack like a dug or makes them seem like
37:45
Elvis or whatever. Yes, that's not it. Entertainment. It's a lot
37:52
of fun that is not hypnosis. Hypnosis is a very focused form of concentration
37:59
where the body relaxes, then the mind relaxes and is able to accept these
38:06
mental suggestions, these directives to the inner mind in a much easier way to
38:13
affect the kind of change that we would like. And the important thing for
38:16
everybody to understand out there is that we are in states of hypnosis many times
38:22
a day, every day, all the time. So when you are reading
38:29
anything, you know, whether it's a book, a magazine, the newspaper,
38:34
a tablet, whatever it is, your eyes go back and forth and
38:37
you enter an alpha state of hypnosis. Whenever you're going to sleep and waking
38:42
up, whenever you're on a screen of any kind, and if it could
38:45
be a phone screen, a tablet, a laptop, a television, a
38:49
movie screen, you are in a state of hypnosis very quickly. And anybody
38:52
who's ever tried to disturb a gamer knows that they don't even hear you.
39:00
Oh, they're so focused. They're in a state of hypnosis. And anytime
39:05
we've been driving for a little while and we're thinking with our conscious minds about
39:10
what's going to happen when we get to wherever we're going, or what just
39:14
happened, or adding something to our grocery list in our mind, and all
39:17
of a sudden, we're sitting at a traffic light, or we're sitting at
39:21
our destination and we can't figure out what happened in the last couple minutes.
39:24
We have no conscious memory of it. We were in a state of hypnosis.
39:29
So these hypnosis is very very normal state. You are in a state
39:34
of hypnosis all the time. So with the exception of people under the age
39:38
of two who can't sit still in focus, and people who are maybe on
39:45
drugs or alcohol or mental states that cause them to be on drugs or alcohol
39:50
or be unfocused, everyone can become hypnotized. The question is will they Because
39:58
they are a hypnosis many times a day, every day, So the question
40:02
is not can they, it's will they just allow it? Well, they
40:07
just relax into it and allow themselves to enter hypnosis and have this positive benefit.
40:15
So and there's nothing airy, faery or weird about it. All.
40:20
Hypnosis is self hypnosis. That's important for people to understand. No one can
40:24
ever make you do anything. You enter hypnosis, you accept the suggestions in
40:30
hypnosis, you stay in hypnosis, you emerge from hypnosis completely on your own,
40:36
and whenever you would like to, and if you would like to,
40:37
and if you would not like to, you don't, So you're always in
40:44
control. So those are important things for people to understand about hypnosis because of
40:47
the misconceptions out there that you're not in control when you're in hypnosis, you
40:52
totally are. And you're in hypnosis many many, many, many, many
40:55
many times a day, so Okay, one other question. Do you think
41:00
that women should talk to their obg y n first before starting a program like
41:06
this? No, I mean there's absolutely no reason to do that. The
41:15
obstetrician has nothing to do with your birthing choices. First of all, whether
41:21
they were to say anything about it is it doesn't make any difference, you
41:27
know, like it or not like it suggested or not suggest it. You
41:30
know, maybe they've seen things in the past. I know there are some
41:35
doctors who've told me that that hypno birthing thing doesn't work when it's not our
41:39
program they're talking about, right, They just don't understand the differences. So
41:45
as soon as I do an in service for them and explain to them that
41:50
this is the big kahuna, then they understand. So it's completely unnecessary to
41:57
talk to the doctors or nurses or anybody ahead of time. The way that
42:02
a woman chooses to give birth is not anyone else's business anyway. Sure,
42:08
you can stand on your head if you like. True. Very most people
42:15
don't realize that you can choose all the birthing positions while you're in the active
42:22
birthing time and you're moving around and maybe you're leaning over a counter, or
42:27
sitting on a birth ball, or even sitting on a toilet, you know,
42:30
to help your body just relax down. The same with pushing. You
42:36
can do any of those things. Nobody has to give you permission. Nobody
42:38
can allow you or keep you from doing anything that you would like to do.
42:44
You're the birthing berth and you're the patient. You have hired these people
42:47
and you get to give birth any way you would like. I agree.
42:53
I agree with that can give our viewers the information of how they can get
43:00
in touch with you and how they can get the information about starting the course.
43:08
Alrighty, well, we have a website at hypnobabies dot com and it
43:13
has a lot of different information on it about our course. You know what
43:17
hypnosis is, what hypnobabies is. Where to find a class if you would
43:22
like to attend a live class with a Hypnobaby's instructor in your area, or
43:29
become a hypnodula and that is a traditionally trained doula who we then teach a
43:36
specialty course too so that they can birth assist people who are doing hypnosis for
43:42
childbirth much better. But if you want to do any of our self study
43:46
courses. Then you go to Hypnobabies dash store dot com and our self study
43:52
courses are on there. One is a hard copy course where you get all
43:58
the materials and you can have them in your hands and flip through the workbooks
44:01
and highlight everything and all of that. And then one of them is an
44:07
online course and people are doing it all over the world, of course.
44:12
And the third one is a bundle, so it's our online course, our
44:16
natural laid back breastfeeding course, and are preparing for your hospital stay and recovery
44:22
course, all of which are really great for first time parents. And when
44:27
you go there, make sure that if you're going to get anything, that
44:31
you use the discount code Belave twenty for twenty percent off, and that will
44:42
be good right after we finish this live event, and it will be good
44:47
for anything on the website except for our hard copy home study and our gift
44:52
certificates. And we also have lots and lots of other individual hypnosis tracks,
45:00
so if you want to eliminate nausea or insomnia, or fear of needles,
45:07
or fear of childbirth or on whose stress and anxiety I mean, we have
45:15
all kinds of individual tracks and sets for v back moms and twin moms and
45:21
just many many different things so peruse around all right, Well, I thank
45:27
you so much for being with us tonight and giving us the background and giving
45:32
us the information about hypno babies, because it is another alternative for childbirth,
45:38
and I think most women who don't want to have to deal with traditional anesthetics
45:46
or anything like that, they can find a more holistic way of delivering babies
45:52
without the fear of a traumatic experience, because that traumatic experience definitely can lead
46:00
to a PST PSTD moment of uncertainty and not want to ever have another baby
46:07
after that because it's so traumatic. So I think this is definitely a good
46:13
thing that women know that there's something else out there where they don't have to
46:19
listen to what mama went through or what their sister went through, that they
46:23
can have a most pleasant birthing experience. So I thank you and I definitely
46:30
will have you back again so that we can go a little bit more in
46:34
depth with this this course. So yes, ma'am, do you have anything
46:43
that you would like to say to the guests before we leave? I think
46:50
in life as in being pregnant, the way you look at things. If
46:58
it changes, then the things you look at change. So it's just a
47:02
matter of being open, having an open mind and heart as you're going through
47:09
life. And if you're pregnant, you know, just being open to something
47:14
different and knowing there's a different way something that can create a more joyful birthing.
47:21
And if it's hypno babies, that's great. But always know that you
47:25
know, you count you matter, you know, and make sure people listen
47:30
to you and nurture you. Yes, well, as I always say before
47:36
we go, remember to stay out of God's business. The only thing he
47:39
needs you to do is be obedient to what he's called you to do.
47:43
So again, thank you guys for tuning in tonight. And you know where
47:46
to find us where the Crew podcast, so find us on Facebook. We
47:52
love you and until next time, we'll see you. Good night, Queen.
48:09
It wasn't the sweet, sweet sweet name I've known. It wasn't the
48:22
sweet, sweet sweet ste I know
