How can hypnosis help me modify my thoughts or behavior?

When born, brand new babies have only two fear responses; the fear of falling and the fear of loud noise. They also have the ability to feel love. Everything else, all your emotions, your attitudes, your beliefs, your values, everything that makes you go, anger, sadness, fear, guilt, all the other emotions for instance, are learned. We learn through a process that we call association and identification. An experience happens, we perceive it through our senses, and the child associates and identifies the experience. With repetition, reinforcement, or if the experience is traumatic enough, it gets hard-wired into the brain. Literally, neural circuits form and it becomes an automatic pattern, very much like a computer. So, how can hypnosis help modify that? What we basically say is we unlearn the old patterns, the old responses, the old negative behaviors, and then we reteach the mind, in a very suggestible state, the new patterns. So it's a process of unlearning and relearning through hypnosis.
