Step into the empowering world of rapid emotional healing with Dr. Yvonne Oswald, PhD in Clinical Hypnosis, as she joins Linda Lang on this episode of Exploring the Mystical Side of Life. Together, they unravel the mysteries behind emotional triggers—and why simple awareness and years of talk therapy may not be enough to finally release what’s holding you back.

Learn why your emotional reactions are wired deep into your neurology, often rooted in early childhood, and why simply processing emotions is different from truly clearing them at their core.

Here are three uplifting insights you’ll find in this conversation:

🔹 The Limits of Talk Therapy: Dr. Yvonne Oswald sheds light on how traditional talk therapy can sometimes further embed emotional patterns, offering only partial relief. Real, lasting change requires shifting emotions at the unconscious level, not just analyzing them.

🔹 Tools for Instant Transformation: Discover simple yet revolutionary NLP and hypnosis techniques like the “twirl and flip” and “mind magic” that can clear even deep-seated emotions—such as anger, sadness, fear, and guilt—in minutes, not years. These rapid-release methods help you reclaim your joy and neutrality so you can move forward lighter and freer.

🔹 The Power of Perception and Vibrational Healing: Explore how your perceptions, molded before age seven, shape your emotional world. By shifting these core patterns, you not only release the old baggage but also naturally raise your emotional frequency, unlocking greater happiness and possibility.

If you’re ready to free yourself from the old stories and emotional triggers that have been weighing you down, tune in to this inspiring conversation with Dr. Yvonne Oswald. Learn practical strategies to take charge of your emotional well-being—so you can create a life of clarity, love, and vibrant health.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
What happens is when you do talk therapy, it’s great for you, understanding, analyzing. You know why it happened. You know it so well because you talked about it so much. However, the more you talk about something… So when they say, “Tell me about your anger,” you embed it deeper in the body. It actually increases it.

Announcer:
Welcome to Exploring the Mystical Side of Life with your host, Linda Lang.

Linda Lang:
Hi, this is Linda Lang from ThoughtChange.com we are exploring the mystical sound of life once again this week. If you’re wondering why insight alone doesn’t always dissolve your triggers, stay tuned. I have Dr. Yvonne Oswald with me. Dr. Yvonne has a PhD in clinical hypnosis, and she has spent decades exploring how emotional reactions are encoded in our neurology and why they need to be cleared at the root. We’re going to have a beautiful conversation today about why awareness of your triggers isn’t enough to clear them. Dr. Yvonne, welcome.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald]:
Thank you, Linda. I’m so happy to see you again.

Linda Lang]:
So many people have done years of therapy work and healing work, and they still have emotional triggers. What’s actually happening? Because it seems like awareness doesn’t change the reaction.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
What happens is when you do talk therapy, it’s great for you, understanding, analyzing. You know why it happened. You know it so well because you talked about it so much. However, the more you talk about something, so when they say, “Tell me about your anger,” you embed it deeper in the body. It actually increases it. It just locks it down more. And the statistics are that 600 sessions of talk therapy gives you 28% of results. You may as well just talk to your friends and save your money. You’re working with the conscious mind, and the conscious mind has no possibility of making changes.

So I had a guy who quit smoking, and he said, “It took me a year to quit smoking.” I said. “It didn’t. It took one second. It took a year to make the decision to quit smoking with your conscious mind.” The second the decision was made, the unconscious just did it. The thing is, all change and all learning is unconscious. So if you’re using the conscious mind, you’re not changing it and you’re just talking about it. You’re actually embedding it further.

It works in as much as I understand it all, what’s important is not the story of the event, it’s the emotional charge it leaves behind. It’s the emotional package it leaves behind that means clearing. And once that’s cleared, we remember the event, but no emotions associated with it.

Linda Lang:
So is perception something we choose consciously? Or is this something our nervous system chooses for us?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
That is an interesting question. Perception is very much all before you’re seven years old. Everything you ever learned or decided or made behaviors or anything was before you were seven. And what you perceive becomes what you believe. And if you’ve got parents who are helicopter parents or people who are, you know, anxiety is a big one these days because of the expectation of parents, “Don’t do that,” “Stop doing that.” “Make sure you get A’s.” They get into a fear mode. And then the issue is they look at something and become fearful of it. And there’s nothing to be afraid of.

They’re building up things in their heads. And when you perceive something, the ideal is to look at an event and say, “How interesting. How can we resolve this?” What people do is like. And they go into reaction mode. And that’s simply because of their training as a child. So this perception can be changed easily.

Linda Lang:
So how do our emotional memories get kind of wired in?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Because your memories, your emotions are your survival mechanism. You cannot do without them. You have 0.15 of a second to know if someone likes you, and you have two seconds on the phone. So if we go about 200,000 years when we first started seeing long distance and pointing to things, and we develop the prefrontal cortex, so what happens is that when we actually perceive something, it’s because of a survival mechanism. So if you see leaves rustle, you know, even if it’s a nice day, your attention’s pointed to the leaves because it could be a threat. So the nervous system will always overcompensates. If there’s a threat happening, it’ll come instantly online and you can then run, you can stand still, wait, you run with the fear response and if you’re caught by the lion, then you fight back. And of course those emotions are all embedded into your physical body.

We hang onto them if the threat is associated with it. And it doesn’t matter if it’s not a real threat. So for instance, a five year old child can hear mom and dad shouting and screaming at each other and then getting divorced. And in future, screaming and shouting may be associated with fear and abandonment. They do an association without the full information of what’s actually happening.

Linda Lang:
And they’re not even consciously making that association.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yeah, it’s true.

Linda Lang:
Now I’ve heard some people describe their emotional reactions as like almost personality, that they’re just kind of hardwired to have anxiety or anger.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
“Just get used to it. This is who I am.” It’s not. It really isn’t. And interestingly enough, there are four emotions, mainly anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and those are your main emotions. You can clear those really fast with my techniques and with the new book coming out. Anxiety is a future based emotion, so by its very nature it’s not resolved. So it becomes a closed loop and you get anxious and anxious and anxious. The root cause of anxiety, I used to think was fear is actually anger.

It’s being told what to do, how to do it, be careful about this, be careful about that. So parents are the culprits in as much as they’re the ones kind of telling the child to be over alert, on high alert. Right? Just becomes a habit.

Linda Lang:
You just said “clear” emotions. That’s the term you used. What’s the difference between processing emotions and actually clearing them?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
You can process emotions with talk therapy. You can say here’s the logical reason why it happened and you can process a bit of it. When I came to Canada at 36, I did like four years of work on myself. I did talk therapy, gestalt therapy. I was always doing past life regression. I did all kinds of spirit work, I did mediumship work. I did anything that would work. Nothing happened.

I would get two weeks of relief and then it would come up in a different way. So I was processing the emotions but not releasing them. And to do that, you have to get to the root cause when you first made that decision to have that emotion… And it could be from your past lives, it could be from three generations ago. So we can use timeline therapy for that. However, my methods, I’ve got simpler and simpler every day. It’s like I can make that simpler? I can make that easier and make it still work.

Linda Lang:
It actually was timeline therapy that helped you resolve?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yes, and timeline therapy is very useful. However, it’s very long. So I invented Mind Magic and that includes the wording of the timeline therapy, which is release the root cause of the negative emotion, preserve the positive lessons for my health and benefit. Those are the only two instructions your unconscious of mind needs. And with the Mind Magic, if you go to YouTube, Yvonne Oswald Mind Magic, you’ll see how to do it. And it’s a super easy way to do it. We use NLP and hypnosis combined. When you actually clear an emotion, it’s gone for good with NLP.

With it’s completely, completely deleted. It’s not just cleared, it’s deleted. So I love working with people who’ve been sexually abused or people who have been depressed or even people who are suicidal or PTSD is so Easy to clear.

Linda Lang:
And it just takes moments, really literally.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
I guess it’s probably about four minutes now.

Linda Lang [00:08:20]:
I would suspect the trick is people understanding that they have an emotional problem that they need help with.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yes. And usually I’m their last resort.

Linda Lang:
So many people think that it takes years to clear their emotional baggage.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yeah, it’s so common. They don’t believe it can be that easy. I do a test at the end of every session, and a week later when we do the follow up, I test again. And it’s still neutral. It’s permanent. Permanent deletion. There’s nothing. So do you want me to demonstrate a very fast NLP technique?

Linda Lang:
Absolutely.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Okay, so I call it the “Twirl and Flip.” It’s actually used to stop cravings, so to stop people craving chocolate and things like that… or potato chips. So frustration’s a very easy one to demo because you’re frustrated every day. Everybody is. Right? So think of a time this week, Linda, when you are frustrated. And the unconscious mind doesn’t work with lots of memories, it works with one-of memory. It’s a very simple device, very much like the computer.

So think of one incident when you were frustrated.

Linda Lang:
I have it.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Got it. Close your eyes and find where it is in your body.

Linda Lang:
I actually feel it in two places. Is that unusual?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
No, it’s just normal. Which is the strongest place?

Linda Lang:
I’m going to say solar plexus.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Okay. Because the other one will automatically be deleted once that one is. Once you get rid of the big one, the rest of them are just like dominoes. So go ahead, close your eyes, go to your solar plexus and tell me what color and shape that frustration could be.

Linda Lang:
It’s orange. It’s a ball and that has spikes on it. Almost like the old fashioned weapon that the Romans used to use. Right?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
With the spikes on it. Okay. Orange ball with the spikes. Okay, cool. Spin it clockwise or anti-clockwise. Which way would it like to go?

Linda Lang:
Anti-clockwise, anti-clockwise.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Good. Pop it out of your solar plexus and tip it upside down. Flip it so that now it’s going clockwise and make it a different shape and color.

Linda Lang:
Okay.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Okay. What shape and color is it?

Linda Lang:
Okay, so it’s green and it’s square.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Green square. Perfect. Put that green square back into your solar plexus in that same place. Open your eyes and click your fingers. And now try to feel that frustration from that event.

Linda Lang:
It’s different.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
It’s called neutral.

Linda Lang:
Yeah, it’s definitely different. It’s very interesting.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yeah, it goes to neutral. All these techniques work. All of them work beautifully. They work 100% across the board. If it hasn’t worked, it means that you didn’t name the emotion or one of the emotions that’s part of that. So I’ll be working with someone with anger and I’ll say, can you try and access that anger? And they go, “Oh yeah, it’s there.” And I’ll say, “Is it anger or Is it something else?” “No, it’s sadness?” right? So I said, Is” the anger there?” “Oh no, the anger’s gone. I’ve now got sadness.” Right. It’s like they’re stacked so you can clear them, you know, bit by bit.

Linda Lang:
You know, it makes total sense to me because we, we usually just don’t have one emotion.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
No, you’d be amazed at how many. Let me show you how many negative emotions there are. You want to know how many positive emotions there are. So 80% of your normal self talk is negative and only 20% is positive. But what the book is about is about fixing various points during the day when you can immediately get back where you want to be.

Linda Lang:
You know, it makes sense to me that we can shift clear, that we can actually clear instantaneously because we can pull that negative emotion in instantaneously. And you know, you’re in some type of fight or flight response all of a sudden. That’s your go to pattern from then on.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yeah, it is, exactly. The mind reverts to its normal. What the object is, is to make it revert to a point that’s a lot higher than that. If you can raise a frequency above 200, then, then you will get feeling happy, joyful, et cetera. Below 200, that’s when you get really not well. And if you’re carrying too many negative emotions, that’s when you’ll get depressed and you’ll need to do something about it. So once you raise your frequency, it’s possible to do anything. I know occasionally if I’m down, really down, I’ll have to do the NLP work on myself to raise the frequency before I’ve got. Or else I’m going to be snapping at people.

Linda Lang:
How wonderful that you have these really quick tools.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yes, I know. Exactly. And occasionally I’ll leave it for a day or two and then I’ll think, no, this has to go, this has to go or I’ll have a nightmare. Usually nightmares are my clue that I’m not listening to what my spirit is trying to tell me.

Linda Lang:
Can we become addicted to a negative emotional state?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yes. We get a Lot of sympathy and empathy from it. And the biggest issue is it’s called a secondary gain. So people who have cancer, for instance, if you get cancer, it’s usually from conflict. So it’s maybe you were fired from your job or maybe your wife died or something happened that was really traumatic. And six months later, that’s when the cancer cells appear because your energy is so low. And people say, “Oh, when I get rid of this cancer, I’m gonna have fun.” And I’ll say, “But you have to have fun in order to get rid of the cancer.” It has to be the other way around, not that way around.

Linda Lang:
Again, the awareness that there’s an issue is the starting point. It’s like we get so enmeshed in our emotions and it’s hard to have the foresight to think, “Oh, wait a minute, I can clear this.”

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
It was interesting because I knew I had to cry a lot. At various points I’ll think I need a cry and I’ll go to YouTube and I’ll play every sad song I can think up and have a really good cry and it will become be good. It’s a great release and it actually floods your body with endorphins.

Linda Lang:
I think that’s a perfect example of processing emotion.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
When I was teaching, I could cry for three days if I allowed myself to because I had such a not good childhood with the abuse, sexual abuse, physical, emotional, my sistersister dying and my father saying, “I wish you dad instead of her.” And I had so many emotions coming in. I could literally just like cry for three days. And I would wake up in the morning, think, oh, not again, we’re not here again. And I would literally just say to my unconscious mind, I get it, I need a good cry. You can cry from nine till ten o’ clock tonight. I said, you are not to allow this crying to go in right now because I have a job to do. I have work to do today.

I’d go into school for the day, I’d come home, I’d get all my. In those days it was tape recorders, right? So I have my tape recorder ready, nine o’, clock, press, and I cry for an hour. And it got to the point where I cry for about 10 minutes and think, “This is really boring. I’m going to stop now.” Watch tv, right? So it’s when you repress it, it builds up like a tsunami. When you allow it to happen and just accept this is what needs to happen to my body, it’s telling me what I need to do, you know, then you’re working with the energy and raising vibration that way.

Linda Lang:
So many people think that the emotions that they’re feeling right now have to do with a current situation. But it’s all that stuff behind, too.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
It’s from before you were seven. It literally is. I used to think maybe phobias were different then I was thinking it through and I thought, hang on, “I should have a phobia against insects.” I had many wasp stings. A wasp stung at the back of my throat, so I ended up in hospital, not breathing. I had a termite in my ear at a farm show, and it literally started boring into my brain. I had to go to hospital and have it taken out. I had Lyme’s disease, which was another insect thing.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald [00:16:25]:And literally, the day after I got stung by the wasp, I looked at a wasp and there was just no emotion there. Because when I was a kid, the insects were my only friends, insects and dogs. So I never had a phobia for insects.

Linda Lang:
Despite all of that pain.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Everything that I went through, not a dicky bird of it, of a phobia inside.

Linda Lang:
So that takes me back to how important our perception or interpretation of our world is.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
It’s exactly that. Yeah. And the thing is, if you think about it, forgiveness is huge. If you imagine, if you forgave everything that everybody had ever done to you, you’d be living happy.

Linda Lang:
And yourself too. Right?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
And yourself. Being your own person. Yeah. Not caring what other people think, not making it affect you at all emotionally

Linda Lang:
or putting yourself into maybe unpleasant situations.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Literally, these days, I pick and choose who I want to be with. I don’t want to just waste time. I’ve got stuff to do, I’ve got people to see. I want to have fun. I want to talk philosophical discussions about the world and God and spirituality and who’s guiding you. Right? So, yeah.

Linda Lang:
Is there another quick exercise you could share with us to help us shift our stuck points?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yes, there is one thing that we do, and we do it a lot, especially in Canada, as you are, with all the snow and everything. People say as they leave the door, be careful, it’s been snowing. It’s really slippy out there. Don’t have an accident. “Be really careful. You know, there’s been an accident up the road there. Don’t think about that.” Well, “That’s like saying, “Don’t think about a pink elephant.”

Right? And it’s like they go straight there. And of course, even when they’ve left and they’re in the car, the person’s still thinking, “Oh, My God, I hope they’re not having an accident. I’m going to call them as soon as they get there to make sure they’re okay.” And that’s not doing them any good because thoughts are real things. The little black arrows are going out to them. Okay. And of course, if someone’s having not a good time in life thinking about, I hope they don’t die, I hope they don’t.

This… I hope they don’t get… it’s not good for them all good for you. Because you unconconsciousbelieves, you’re talking about yourself. So I invented a nice little technique that actually allows you to send them love and light and you feel better, and they feel better. It raises both your vibrations, right? So if you think about a person now, Linda, that you love and you would like to really send some lovely energy to, do you know who it is?

Linda Lang:
Absolutely.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Okay, cool. Excellent. So, visual recall. I’m going to do this in reverse so you won’t get confused. The left hand side, your left is visual recall, your right is visual construct. So we’re going to construct a new picture. So we’re going to do it on this side. Okay? So if you put your right hand up, pull it back to your ear and look forward so you can just still see the hand.

And up a bit. Yeah, perfect. That’s where you’re gonna put the picture of the person you want to send the love to. Okay, cool. Put your hand down. And you also want them to be with their guide because you are not their guide. They have their own guide. So you put them and their guide, and I usually put them in long white robes.

I like them being in long white robes because it’s their higher self you’re working with, remember? So what you do is we do it three times. So close your eyes. Imagine that person standing there with their guide. Take a deep belly breath with an open mouth, like sucking it in, like. And then blow the energy around the guide in that person in a circle and push them up into the light. Good. Click your fingers to break your state. Bring them back.

Bring that person back with the guide. Keep your eyes closed. Breathe again. Deep breath. Blow the energy around the person and their guide. Push them up into the light so they disappear. Final time, bring them back. They’re standing there.

Take a deep breath. Blow the energy, the beautiful light around them and push them into the light so that all you can see is light. It’s just an empty space of light. And then open your eyes, click your fingers to break state. And now think about that person. Feels good. Feels super loving with them. And you’ll feel better yourself because you’ve just flooded your own body with endorphins by relaxing your diaphragm. Your diaphragm, when you’re under stress, pulls up into your rib cage. When you do belly breathing, it pushes down and you go back to that beautiful alpha state.

Linda Lang:
So is it important that we breathe through our mouth for this or can we do deep breaths through our nose?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
I prefer the mouth because it keeps the tongue at the bottom of the mouth and it stops the stress response happening.

Linda Lang:
All neurology, right?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yes. And the thing is that the, it actually pushed this down into your belly. It pushes the diaphragm down then and it’s clearing your lungs as well. If you just do, there’s not nearly enough energy going out and it’s oxygen. Right?

Linda Lang:
Can we do this for ourselves?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yes. You can put yourself and your guide standing there, take the deep breath and you can do it for your inner child. You can put your 5 year old inner child, you can do it for belief. So if you’ve got a belief, make it a shape and a color, put it with its guide because it’s still part of you. Okay? And send the belief out into the universe as well. Works in a similar way to the Mind Magic.

Linda Lang:
Beautiful. Beautiful. Now, Dr. Yvonne, you mentioned your book, you have a new book coming out.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
Yeah. The first one is Every Word Has Power and it was published by the Secret Publishers and It’s now in 11 languages. I produced a number one bestseller, Cracking the Rich Code. And then I thought, “Oh, I’m done with book writing, I’m finished.” And then of course the last three years it’s been write the book, write the book, write the book. I’m like, “No, I’ve had enough.” And I suddenly got into the right book writing mode and I thought, this is going to be my legacy. Everything I know about NLP. hypnosis, clearing emotions fast.

I can only teach so many people in the world as master hypnotherapist, master NLP practitioners, all master guides, all master past life progression people. I wanted it in one book. So that’s what I’ve done. There’s seven days of foundation where you learn the nine rapid release codes. Then you do the nine rapid release codes for seven days. You want goal setting in there. So now you want to clear the anxiety when you do the goal setting and put yourself in a future place where you’re happy and there’s all sorts of things in there and it’s super simple. to do. It’s really very, very easy.

Linda Lang:
That’s what I love about your work.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
So it comes out May 14th for 24 hours. It’s on sale for 99 cents. That’s less than a dollar. It’s called No More Therapists: Your Brain Has the Answer Clear Negative Emotions in Minutes, Not Years.

Linda Lang:
Now, where can we send people who want to know more about your work?

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
The best way to contact me is through my website, which is globalwelcome.com G-L-O-B-A-L Welcome.com. my phone number’s in there. I’m really happy to take WhatsApp calls. I’m in the Dominican, so please don’t call me on the normal phone. The WhatsApp is great because it’s free and I’m very happy to give anyone 10 minutes of talk.

Linda Lang:
And Dr. Yvonne, you have a gift for the listeners.

Dr. Yvonne Oswald:
I do have a gift. I invented a thing called Your Safety Box and it’s got 10 techniques in it. There’s two MP3s in there to listen to. Hypnosis and instant karma downers. Five minutes, no more. And it’s free. So if you happen to have emotions come up, go to your safety box, choose one of the techniques and calmer downer, straight away.

Linda Lang:
I look forward to diving in.
