In episode 102 of Outside The Studio with Tessa:


"Boundaries are the distance at which I can love both you and me simultaneously" - Prentis Hemphil


Media and movies paint the stereotype that hypnosis puts you under a controlled spell, but that's far from the truth. Tessa Tovar invites Amy Green Smith to chat on how to establish boundaries, the four fear responses, and what hypnosis actually looks like with how it can improve our mental health.


Amy Green Smith is a certified and credentialed life coach and hypnotherapist, masterful speaker, and courageous communication expert. She is the author of Speak Up For Yourself Without Being a Dick and the host of The Bold Faced Truth Podcast.

Key Takeaways

1. Boundaries 101 is to decide what the boundary is, be specific with what we need, and communicate with the appropriate party about the issues. The most difficult part for most is the delivery of the boundary with others but should look something like this: here are the issues, here is how I interpret it, here's my request, here is the enforcement of this boundary. There may be instances where that boundary needs to be reinforced by comments such as, "Please don't," or "Going back to that conversion we had," and decide how many offenses it takes before an ultimatum needs to occur.

2. Don#39;t apologize for being human. Don't apologize for getting emotional when discussing boundaries or a situation that feels intense. Simply say, "I have emotion coming up right now because this is really important to me," or "Because this system or program is important to me and I care about this," rather than minimizing our emotions.

3. If we think we don't have access to hypnosis, we actually do. Hypnosis is the slowing down of the brain waves into a theta state which we enter often: for example, driving somewhere and not remembering how we got there is when our brains are in theta. Through repetition, practice being aware of those slow moments and using mantras to submit to the subconscious such as, "I am capable of establishing boundaries," and "My power comes from within," or "I am loved."

4. Don't be a collector of personal development info or books, take action! All the research can be read and articles full of tips and tricks can be analyzed, but it's not until there is physical practice that results will be made. It will feel daunting and mistakes will be learned, but the change for quality of life improvement will be well worth the leap.
