Kristin Rivas is a Certified Hypnotist currently practicing in the Eastlake area of Seattle, Washington. As a Master of Conversational Hypnosis, Kristin is devoted to helping people THINK, FEEL, and LIVE better! Her passion for inspiring positive transformations in others comes from a deeply personal and profound change experience herself. In 2008, Kristin’s life became devastated by illness, havi

ng pseudoseizures up to 9 times a day. She had to use a wheel chair or walk with the aid of cane while wearing a helmet. After repeated CAT scans, EEG’s, MRI’s and other neurological testing, an expert neuro-psychologist at the Mayo Clinic diagnosed Kristin with: P.T.S.D., Conversion Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder. After medications, counseling, and other forms of therapy failed, a miracle happened after a single hypnotherapy session. All previously troubling symptoms vanished after just 3 hours of one Rapid Trauma Resolution session. Since recovering her health in June of 2009, she went on to study with founder of Rapid Trauma Resolution Therapy, Dr. Jon Connelly, the hypnotherapist who treated her. She has also studied under other master hypnotists since, such as Igor Ledochowski and Don Mottin, and will continue to train all over the world, improving and diversifying her skills to be the best possible hypnotist for her clients. She is a member of such prestigious organizations as the National Guild of Hypnotists, the International Medical, Dental, and Hypnotherapy Association as well as the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. Kristin moved to Seattle from Orlando, Florida in July of 2010 where she has since enjoyed building her new life, including a hypnosis practice, in this great city. She has also since become the host of Mind Talk on KKNW 1150 AM on the Chat With Women Network. Kristin intends to continue fulfilling her heart’s dream of helping people find a way to overcome issues that have been holding them back. Whether it is stress or pain management, recovering from heartbreak, a loved one’s passing or other traumatic events, breaking bad habits, losing weight, sleeping soundly, or overcoming fears, Mind Talk Hypnosis is an avenue to promote healing for those in need.

“If you can take anything with you from my story, I hope it is the belief that profound life changes and healing are possible, real and yours for the taking! All you need to do is be open to the possibility and follow through on the opportunities for a solution until you find what is going to work for you.”

Seven years ago today, I married Shaun Hamilton, the best partner I couldn't even have imagined. To say my expectations of marriage have been exceeded is an understatement.😍🫶

There was a version of me — younger, more jaded — who didn't believe this love we share was possible. I'd seen too much. I'd been through too much. I had made a kind of peace with the idea that a healthy, lifelong love might not actually exist.

I proposed to Shaun three years into dating, because somewhere along the way the question stopped being is this real and became why would I wait?

I had a peace I'd never felt before 🕊 the deep, unshakable knowing that we were each other's lifelong teammates. Not a fantasy. Not a fairytale. Something steadier and better than either.

Choosing a spouse is the most important decision you'll ever make should you decide to make it.

You're choosing your teammate, your safe place, your witness to every version of yourself you'll ever become. And I have become a lot of versions of myself in these seven years. Shaun has stood beside every single one of them — every risk, every reinvention, every messy middle, every wild dream, every leap that probably looked insane from the outside. We've moved across the country multiple times. We've been through thick & thin, only falling more in love.

He's never once asked me to be smaller so he could feel bigger. On the contrary, he's cheered on my every expansion. He's never flinched at my becoming. He just keeps choosing me, and choosing us, quietly and completely, day after day after day.

I'm so glad I did the work to open the door I thought had closed. Because behind it was the most profound blessing of my life, second only to my own health and breath.

Love is one of the most extraordinary gifts we can give ourselves and each other in this life. I get to give it to him, and receive it from him, for the rest of mine. I am so deeply grateful 🙏🥲

Happy seventh anniversary, my love. Here's to all the versions of us still to come. Here’s to the honeymoon phases they keep saying are behind us🥰🍾🥂

Your inner critical voice isn't a personality trait. It's a neural loop with specific firing patterns — which means it can be interrupted, rewired, and replaced. Here are four techniques I use with clients. Three of them you can practice on your own. All of them work faster with a guide.

1. Pattern Interrupting.
The harsh voice runs on momentum. The moment you notice it firing, do something physically incongruous — stand up, splash cold water on your face, snap your fingers, say an absurd phrase out loud. The interrupt isn't magical, but it breaks the loop long enough for a different response to become possible. You're not arguing with the voice. You're cutting its momentum mid-sentence.

2. Self-Compassion.
The inner critic uses language you'd never use with someone you love. The corrective isn't positive affirmations — your nervous system can tell when you're lying to it. The corrective is talking to yourself the way you'd talk to a friend in the same situation. Same tone. Same patience. Same allowance for being human. Practice catching the harsh sentence and rewriting it, in real time, the way you'd say it to someone you cared about.

3. Memory Reconsolidation.
This is the one that's harder to do alone. When a self-critical voice has been running since childhood, it's anchored in specific encoded moments & updating the wiring requires activating the original memory while introducing a precise mismatch experience. The neuroscience is real, but the conditions for it to work reliably are narrow. This is one I do with clients in session.

4. Sensory Transformational Process.
The inner critic lives in the nervous system, not just the mind. Working at the sensory level — breath, body, gaze, touch, sound — can shift the underlying state in ways that talking to the voice never will. Slow exhales longer than your inhales. Cold exposure. Grounding through your feet. Bilateral stimulation. These aren't tricks; they're nervous-system interventions that change what the inner critic has access to.
If you've been carrying a harsh inner dialogue for years and the self-applied tools aren't fully landing, that's where I come in.
