Your Body Remembers What Your Mind Tries to Forget

Welcome to Heal Talk Tuesday with Liza, where
transformation begins as we evoke, embrace, and evolve.
Greetings, greetings, greetings, and welcome to Heal Talk Tuesday with Liza.
It’s so good to be here with you, isn’t it?
Today, I want to explore about something that impacts
you and so many of us that we don’t even think about.
It’s called the powerful connection of the mind-body and how we
respond, especially when it comes to panic, anxiety, and shock.
Have you ever received a news that made your heart pound and
your hands become sweaty, and you feel absolutely shaking,
and have you ever walked to a place and to an accident, or seen
something absolutely frightening that automatically your body responds.
It’s like your body starts shedding, shredding, and going into that
confused mode, something inside you can’t quite understand what’s happening.
Or perhaps if you have noticed that after months or weeks later, or even
years later, something is still lingering in your body, and you just
don’t have a grasp of what’s happening because your body is reminding you
and reacting to things all over again, and yet you don’t know what it is.
You see, I’m Liza Boubari, your expert hypnotherapist and stress management
consultant, and the work that I do is so much tapped into our subconscious.
It’s about our mind, it’s all about our emotions, and also a mind-body connection.
What’s inside, it’s affecting what’s outside of you.
So here’s why you might experience certain things.
When you go through something that it’s unexpected or frightening, like a
shocking news, or you see something that it’s shocking you, either a car accident,
or witnessing something traumatic, or it even happens to you, guess what happens?
Your body immediately goes into survival mode.
That’s what happens. Your body goes into survival mode. Why?
Because your heart is racing, your breath becomes very shallow.
Right? Just like a kid. Your body goes into that shallow system.
And your blood rushes to all your limbs in order for the
blood to flow, and so that you can do what? Fight or flight.
But most of what happens, your mind may even black
out or go blank as if going into a shock system.
And this is where your body is doing its job.
It is. It’s not that something is wrong because your body
is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, protecting you.
I’ve said this over and over. Your body is
there to house you, protect you, and shield you.
And this is where most people overlook.
If you ever fully process that emotional energy,
the shock, what we call what people know as PTSD.
And if you don’t allow that system to completely
release, to wash out, to cleanse, to heal, right?
That shock stays in the body. That shock stays in the muscles and the tissues.
Excuse me. This is why long after a certain event, you may still
feel startled again, have triggers that you don’t understand,
and certain tightness in your chest or feel.
Excuse me.
Right? Even having something that I just remembered, speaking becomes difficult.
If something happened that you couldn’t even
yell, it might heal as if you were choking.
Or some people feel as if someone has stabbed them in
between their shoulders and they’re constantly doing this.
It’s like it hurts between my shoulder blades.
You may even feel your heart raise for no good reason.
Why do you think this is?
Because your body is holding onto a memory. Long after
your mind has already processed or tried to forget.
We call it the body keeps score.
That’s what it is. The body is keeping score.
Studying Carl Gustav Jung, which was a psychologist
talking about shadow work and everything.
This is not about that. It’s about the shock that stays, the PTSD from war.
PTSD from rape, from abuse, from auto-accident.
Allow me to give you a sample.
I had a client, an example.
I had a client that came to me years ago.
What he came in for was anxiety.
He came to me because he had witnessed a very horrific accident on the freeway.
Not because he was in it.
Even though he wasn’t physically harmed or even
involved in that, it was the shock of seeing it.
That deeply moved him and for weeks he couldn’t get on the freeway.
His hands would grip the steering wheel and his heart would raise.
As he would start, he would go right on the freeway and exit from the first off ramp.
This continued over and over.
Neither him nor his wife could figure it out.
I don’t know if you’ve experienced it or not.
If you’ve experienced anything like this by
our means, say yes, or share your experience.
During hypnotherapy. Something unexpected happened.
You know what it was?
He remembered being eight years old because true hypnosis,
what we do, is a recall and revisit certain times in our life.
What we do is share what I like to share and explain.
Your mind is a file cabinet.
We go through the files and we pull, ask the brain,
ask the mind and the body to give us a signal,
which file for us to work with?
Some, technically, what we call it, is timeline therapy.
But we do this through deep relaxation, through hypnosis.
While in that state of hypnosis, the mind is not
analyzing, judging, or resuming, even criticizing.
We can tap into their open the file, go through
the file, it’s revisit, without doing anything.
It’s not removing it. It’s just on a screen or a file reading it.
So what he remembered being eight years old in the back
seat of his family’s car when there was a serious car crash.
He saw his mom screaming and his father trying to call for help.
And then he looks on the side and he says his cousin next
to him and he just focuses and remembers his cousin’s leg.
And at that moment, he notices that the cousin’s leg was completely
detached, lying next to him on the seat in the back seat.
I know it sounds traumatic for any child to see this. Yes, it is.
Because at that moment, he was frozen, just
staring at the leg until everything goes blank.
Now, his mind protected him by shutting him down, by shutting his mind down.
And he cannot remember anything else.
Of course, he remembers that years later, he would always see his cousin walking.
He was fine. He had a small little limp, but he didn’t realize what it was.
He couldn’t remember it.
Years later, witnessing that freeway accident, what happened was triggered
his body and stored that traumatic experience in his memory bank.
And through our sessions, he finally got to not only revisit, but
understand what happened and process and release that trapped shock.
You know, as I’ve said, there is that inner self, which is the child.
There is the adult and there’s the parent
within us, the mother figure, the parent figure.
So when the child within us goes to that shock and the parent
is there to observe, protect and shield, which is the body.
It’s the, it got at this age that has to go and
sit next to the child and say, “You are safe now.”.
And that is the work we do. That’s a deep work.
But before even doing, you know, cognitive therapy is wonderful, and
yet it doesn’t get to the root cause as fast as hypnotherapy does.
And that’s the difference.
We tap into the subconscious, either using tools, techniques
that we do guided visualization, timeline therapy, NLP.
Those are all the tools that I use to help my client tap into what
it is that it’s stored in the mind, in the body, or in their part.
And that’s how heal within, starting.
You know, so this is one of the things you can do.
So what about you?
If you notice panic, anxiety, even vague uneasiness,
a population from absolutely nowhere, that is your
body saying there is something, pay attention to me.
What your mind thinks, your body is reacting and speaking to you, right?
It could be your body’s way of telling you, pay attention. There is some
pain in here that it’s, I’m painting you for you to pay attention to me.
To think, earache, when your body is out of alignment, you know,
you bang your finger, you put it and you kiss the finger and yet.
Those are things that are lingering in the body and
yet we’re not doing anything until it’s really bad.
And then what do you do? You go to the doctor, they give you
a prescription and numb it more until the next shock happens.
So here’s what I say, they’re still healing to be done and that’s up to you.
What you can do right now, when you feel it, here’s the tools you can use.
You know, if we do this in the planes nowadays, they
put the mask on, but in the old days, they used to
have this small little bag and they would say, if
you believe you’re going into a kind of an anxiety,
breathe into this bag. So breathe deeply through
your nose, count 1, 2, 3, 4 and then exhale
into your hands, cup your hands and go, breathe
through your mouth. Do that three times.
One more time.
I’m excited.
The other one, put your hand on your chest and another
one on your family. I do this with all my clients.
Protecting your core, protecting your intuitive signals
right here that the body starts speaking from the gut,
which is all your nerves coming to wear to your
belly button to start the beginning of your life.
So protect that. That means I am protecting my
life and the body knows where your life started.
And the other one on your hand, on your chest, on your
heart and when you beat like this, it reminds your heart,
to start beating with your hand and then when
you do tapping, you can slow it down and do this.
I’m very gently slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow,
slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow,
slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow,
slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, slow.
So the body starts doing what you ask.
Remember? You think it? The body will follow.
And the third thing that you can do is move. You know how the little kids,
when they get tantrum or anxious and they get confused, what do they do?
So start doing this. Shake your hands. Move your body. Do something that takes your
mind off of what’s happening from the shock of what you see into your body, moving,
and your body comes to awakeness instead of going into a shock. The last
thing? Call me. Call me. Let’s schedule a time for us to have an exploration,
exploration, exploration, conversation, that’s it. I offer 15 minutes,
consultation for free for us to explore and see how I can help you.
Shock in the system can stay there for many, many, many years. We call
it PTSD after surgery. PTSD, we even go into that before surgery anxiety
and that anxiety before any kind of a procedure or surgery can also give
you panic and anxiety, which you think you’re having a heart attack.
If you’re having this, you cannot have surgery. You
see the loop that is happening? So let’s get on a
call. Stop brushing off what your body is whispering
to you. Do it now before it starts screaming at you.

So for today, breathe, process, and enjoy life. And when your
