Host Susi Vine interviews Carolyn Cahn, RN and success coach, about helping people break through blocks such as low self-esteem, ADHD, burnout, procrastination, and stress-driven avoidance habits. With 35+ years’ experience and training in NLP, IEMT, hypnosis, and other modalities, Cahn shares her nursing path from ER to corrections, how continued education led her into hypnosis and other complementary tools that support radical emotional recovery where other systems fall short.  She explains the risk of allowing stress to snowball into greater issues, describes the brain’s learned safety patterns, and outlines how IEMT aims to separate emotion from memories—contrasting it with EMDR’s longer, talk-therapy-heavy process. She discusses trauma as cumulative, the limits of “labels,” the need for willingness and action, and the powerful perspective one can achieve with post traumatic growth.
