Ep 20. Hypnotherapy Deep Dive with Erin Acharya

We were excited to see Erin Acharya again when she returned to the Holistic Hope Podcast with a deep dive into using hypnotherapy as a tool to access your awareness in challenging situations. Being a hypnotherapist, Erin shares with us the benefits of being present in the moment to feel the emotions we are experiencing.

Erin walks Kate through how to make physical changes in her body to trigger relaxation in the body when one is feeling overwhelmed or panicked. If you're looking for holistic birth techniques, a method to calm yourself when your feeling anxious or overwhelmed, this episode is especially for you.
