Barriers are a normal part of our reality. Like a brick wall obstructing our path, it can paralyze us and hinder our progress. It can also challenge how we navigate everyday life.

A mental roadblock can manifest in many ways, like emotions, thoughts, behaviors, or habits. It typically comes from a limiting belief rooted in a traumatic memory from our childhood. While many people believe moving on is as simple as not dwelling on the past, there’s far more to unpack.

After enduring a challenging experience, your brain instills a belief system to protect you. Your mind will also try to draw parallels to other real-life situations to prevent you from getting hurt. For instance, a flying phobia may take you back to an incident where you felt out of control.

As a result, you may experience a range of symptoms, like anxiety, depression, fear, or resentment, any time you come across a scenario that triggers similar emotions from the traumatic event. Regardless of what you’re facing on the surface, there’s always something deeper underneath.

So, how do you bypass the brick wall and reclaim your life? You must be willing to tune inward and process what’s going on internally, and make peace with the past.

Deconstruct your mental barriers

Moving forward requires you to dismantle your barrier brick by brick, starting from the inciting incident. Before engaging in regression therapy, we relax the mind to tap into the subconscious level using hypnosis.

As we ease into this state, we can explore everything, from your emotions and habits to your dreams and memories. Your mental blocks and belief systems that also live here.

To find the memory tied to a limiting belief, we will tune into your body by asking where you feel the emotions within. This question acts as a compass, allowing you to trace your steps to the impactful moment.

Once we arrive at the memory, we let all the emotions pour out:

  • Anger
  • Frustration
  • Disappointment
  • Fear
  • Loneliness
  • Hurt
  • Confusion

And whatever else you have on your heart.

For example, you may feel anxious, out of control, incapable, or unloveable. We bring everything that’s resided within you from over the years back to the surface. Getting back into this state allows us to do the deep work to help move through it and heal.

Explore your blocks with resolution-focused hypnotherapy

A significant part of the healing process is a willingness to do the deep work, even when it’s challenging. Some therapeutic methods we may incorporate include:

  • Past life regression: Recovering vital information from past lives that apply to the present self -making connections to limiting beliefs and emotions.
  • Regression (age) therapy: Visiting a distressing experience from childhood and tap into the limiting beliefs that were set into the mind during that time.
  • Parts therapy: Touching base with an aspect of the self that promotes limiting beliefs and shifting its stance to a positive belief system.

While many mental roadblocks are due to past traumas, other factors may be at play. We will engage in one or more of the previously mentioned techniques depending on what we uncover during our sessions.

If the core issue stems from a past event, we enter the inner parenting phase, where you assert what you wished had happened at the time and be there for your inner child. For instance, if a parent neglected you during a vulnerable moment, your inner child may seek validation and comfort.

Then, we have you step into the parent/guardian role and have a dialogue with yourself as if you’re the adult and the child in the situation. Here, you can share everything you wanted to say to the adult in the memory and what you wished they had said or done.

By coming to terms with the past (acceptance), you can open the door to the next stage of your healing: forgiveness.

Let go of self-resentment and reprogram the mind

Many people believe they must forgive another person to move on. But more often than not, they need to learn how to forgive themselves for holding onto a painful experience and allowing it to interrupt their lives.

When you accept the past for what it was and forgive the other party and yourself, you can finally break through your barriers. From there, you can recondition your mind, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs through hypnotic programming.

During this healing step, we implement new and powerful mindsets that will support how you want to be and feel. We also reinforce the new belief system with positive feelings, like joy, peace, love, worthiness, and self-assurance.

Think of it as planting seeds in a garden after removing the weeds. What was once an unkempt backyard of self-doubt and fear has become a new thriving chapter.

Learn to surrender and accept with hypnotherapy

Moving on isn’t about obtaining complete control, nor is it about avoiding barriers at all costs. It’s about learning to accept that much of life is out of our control, and that’s okay. Everyone is capable of reflecting on the past and pushing through their blocks. Still, it can be challenging to reach this point of freedom.

That’s why many clients seek support through hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a resolution-focused therapy that can help you:

  • Get unstuck on your life’s journey
  • Process and come to terms with your experiences
  • Release past ties, emotions, thoughts, and limiting beliefs that no longer serve you
  • Take ownership of your life and live in alignment with how you want to be and feel
  • Move through barriers to achieve happiness, peace, and stability

If you’ve been feeling stuck, I invite you to schedule a hypnotherapy session to break through your barriers and welcome closure.
