Decoding Holding Patterns, Stimming, and Tics with Hypno-CBT®
You're the controller of your mind and your body and your nervous system, and if you are a neurodivergent person, you know your challenges as the controller of your system are undoubtedly more difficult than a neurotypical person.
Imagine your nervous system as a bustling railway network, with trains carrying emotional energy throughout your mind and body. In this episode of 'The Hypno-CBT Podcast', Kathy Carter from Arrive Therapy unpacks the intriguing concepts of holding patterns, stimming, and tics, and their connection to cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT®). Kathy delves into how our 'will' or 'Self' controls this intricate network, influencing how we process and release emotional energy.
She sheds light on how stimming and tics, often seen in autistic individuals, serve as natural ways to discharge and regulate this energy. By the end of the episode, you'll gain a clearer understanding of how Hypno-CBT® can help manage these patterns, leading to a more balanced and regulated nervous system. Whether you're neurodivergent or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into cognitive training and flexibility, and the power of reframing thoughts to enhance emotional well-being.
