When you’re a farmer or a rancher, those same challenges can be even more daunting. Sometimes it can feel like they’re multiplied by a thousand.

That’s why building determination and toughness is so crucial.
Hypnosis can help you build the resilience for the positive mental focusing that you need to weather these challenges.
Hypnosis can be a total game-changer for farmers and ranchers. By tapping into the power of your subconscious mind, you can strengthen your mental well-being and live a healthier, more balanced life.
Let’s get’er done!
Why is resilience so important for mental outlook?
Let’s talk about why resilience is such a trail-blazing technique for your mental well-being
Resilience is your superpower for dealing with life’s ups and downs. It’s what helps you bounce back when things get tough, adapt to new situations, and keep moving forward even when you hit roadblocks.
When you build resilience, you’re not just surviving . . . you’re thriving. You feel more in control, less anxious, and way more confident. Resilience gives you the strength to handle stress, stay positive, and maintain your emotional balance no matter what life throws at you.
Challenges for Farmers and Ranchers:
Let’s get candid about the agricultural community and mental health.
Farmers and ranchers are up against some seriously unique challenges. They’re dealing with unpredictable weather, financial pressures, and the intense physical demands of their work.
These stressors aren’t just tough—they can lead to sky-high anxiety and depression levels. And to make it worse, there’s often a reluctance to seek help because of pride or the stigma around mental health.
It’s time to smash that outdated notion because it’s harming those who need help the most.
Valerie has seen alarming statistics on farmer suicides, emphasizing the urgent need for mental health support within the agricultural community. While many farmers and ranchers maintain a positive outlook, the pressures of corporate consolidation, market monopolies, and other industry dynamics can create significant mental strain.
Building Resilience Through Hypnotherapy:
Valerie’s work focuses on helping individuals build emotional resilience by addressing subconscious programming. The excitement and energy that come with starting a new venture, such as farming or ranching, can diminish over time, leading to cynicism and burnout. Hypnotherapy can help individuals refocus on positive thoughts and emotions, much like nurturing soil for healthy crops.
Farmers face significantly higher suicide rates compared to the general population, struggling with intense mental health issues and elevated stress levels. They’re a tough group to reach due to the demands of their work and a culture where discussing mental health can be stigmatized.
In 2023, over 50,000 Americans tragically took their own lives, marking the highest annual suicide rate on record. The National Rural Health Association reports that farmers are 3.5 times more likely to die by suicide compared to the general population. *
Resilience is not just about enduring hardships but also about maintaining a positive and expansive view of life. By accessing the subconscious mind, individuals can reconnect with their innate creativity and problem-solving abilities, essential traits for success in agriculture and beyond.
How Subconscious Programming Happens:
Subconscious programming occurs in five main ways:
- Imprints from Caregivers: From birth, individuals absorb beliefs and responses from their parents, teachers, and other authority figures. These imprints shape the subconscious understanding of themselves and the world.
- Intense Emotional Experiences: Traumatic or highly emotional events can create lasting imprints in the subconscious mind. This is evident in conditions like PTSD, where certain triggers can evoke strong emotional responses.
- Repetition: Habits and routines formed through repeated actions become embedded in the subconscious. This is why consistent practice is crucial for mastering new skills or behaviors.
- Identification and Association: The belief that generational patterns cause one to be unable to make changes. My dad was a ________; therefore I am a _________.
- Hypnosis Techniques: Through hypnotherapy, individuals can intentionally create the same mindset as the four above in order to transform those imprints.
Helping ranchers ditch anxiety and stress:
In recent years, Valerie has seen a significant rise in clients seeking assistance for anxiety and stress. The pressures of modern life, compounded by concerns about food security and environmental changes, have exacerbated these issues for many farmers and ranchers.
She advocates for a proactive approach to a positive mental mindset encouraging individuals to seek support before stress becomes overwhelming.
By integrating mindfulness practices and stress management techniques, she aims to equip ranchers with the tools needed to navigate these challenges. Her holistic approach not only addresses immediate concerns, but also builds long-term resilience and emotional strength.
How we do it:
The Flow Center’s program has been helping people for decades who want to banish their negative thoughts and habits and transform their lives:
Journey deep into your subconscious: You’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed state that lets all other thoughts fall away so your mind can focus. This allows your subconscious to be more receptive to suggestion. The hypnotist will begin to unlock issues that have prevented you from experiencing self-acceptance and bring them to the surface.
Create new lovable habits for yourself: The hypnotist will then reprogram your old internal belief system and rewire it to accept self-love. This new “coding” will allow you to transform the way you see, respond, and attach meaning to your issues. Instead of the negative emotions and patterns you once had, you’ll be able to create new and lovable habits surrounding the way you see yourself.
Develop new positive and loving beliefs: The voices in your head telling you that you’re not enough will be silenced. No more beating yourself up. Instead, you’ll have effortless kindness and respect for the amazing person you already are. You’ll be able to step confidently into new habits that celebrate all your strengths and see your old habits with more compassion as they depart from your life.
Imagine a future where it is all possible: You’ll be able to take more chances now that nothing is holding you back. Boldly embrace a new mindset where the opportunities open to you are endless. Nothing is beyond you. In fact, success is at the forefront of your mind.
Additionally, imagine a future where you break the cycle of negative thinking so your children don’t have to go through what you did.
See the benefits of self-love: The result is a gentle and effective ability to return to your natural love for yourself. It’s always been there, but it eroded over time when those negative beliefs crept in. Now that you’ve released those feelings, you have more space to allow your self-esteem to blossom.
