In this bonus episode, Holly Grahn shares more science behind hypnotherapy and how it impacts both the brain and nervous system—across our life stages, and within the context of ultrarunning performance, and long-term health resilience. Learn about how early childhood experiences may play a role in your current limiting beliefs, how nervous system resilience affects your pacing in an ultramarathon, and the power of your subconscious.
If you haven’t listened to Holly’s full interview in Episode 4, I highly recommend going back to check it out. It’s a do-not-miss conversation full of depth, insight, and inspiration.
