When people think about mind-body healing, they often look for trauma, fear, stress, or something painful from the past.
But what if there are other emotional patterns that can be surprisingly easy to overlook?
In this episode, Brandy shares insights from an extraordinary session with a volunteer named Martin, who had been diagnosed with MS and was struggling with several physical limitations—including difficulty straightening his hands.
As Brandy began working with him, they uncovered several emotional patterns beneath the surface.
And one of them was especially unexpected.
Martin is an incredibly caring, loving person. But that desire to help others had sometimes become very intense—showing up as a need to control situations, beliefs, and even the people around him.
As they began working with these deeper patterns, something happened physically that genuinely shocked him: during the session, Martin was able to straighten a hand that he said he had previously been unable to straighten fully.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
• Why mind-body healing may involve much more than identifying trauma
• How caring intentions can sometimes become mixed with control or intensity
• Why rejection, hurt, and other emotional patterns can become intertwined
• The importance of creating a genuine deeper change rather than only thinking positively
• What happened during Martin’s session that surprised even him
The bigger takeaway is that sometimes the pattern we need to change is not the one we expect.
And when we become willing to honestly identify what is happening beneath the surface—and genuinely transform it—it can open the door to profound changes in the way we feel, relate to others, and experience our lives.

Welcome to Heal Yourself. Change Your Life. I’m Brandy Gillmore, and what I’m most known for is helping people to create radical transformations and even demonstrating the power of the mind and self-healing under medical equipment so you can see the results. And my work has even been published in a medical journal because it’s truly incredible what we are all capable of when we understand our own minds at a deeper level.
So whether you’re new to this work or you’ve been studying the power of the mind for many years, I love that you are here. I love that we’re on this incredible journey together, and I look forward to sharing breakthrough information with you. That said, on this podcast, I’ll share two types of episodes.
First, self-healing episodes where I share key insights from working with live volunteers. And the second type are where I answer questions from the audience. That said, if you’d like to volunteer or submit a question, come visit me at BrandyGillmore.com. On that note, let’s dive in.
Hello and happy beautiful day to you. I want to add in a quick but important note to make this podcast very easy to navigate because today’s episode has a special format. Today, I worked with a live volunteer, and as you probably know, there are a lot of people who are now using AI to modify information online.
For that reason, we have taken an extra step to help protect our beautiful volunteer and the integrity of this work to help keep the information from being modified. And we actually love how this turned out because it provides you with even more information. This is how it works. On today’s episode, you’ll hear an overview of the person that I worked with, and I will provide you with simple but powerful breakthrough insights that helped our volunteer begin making a radical shift.
Then, at the end of this short breakthrough episode, if you are ready for a deep dive, you can click in the show notes to gain access to the actual self-healing session where I worked directly with the live volunteer. This enables us to help protect the information online from being modified while still continuing to provide you with powerful information to help bridge the gap between science and spirituality and personal empowerment, because it’s truly incredible what you are capable of when you learn to understand your mind at a deeper level.
That said, let’s dive into the simple but powerful insights that came from working with today’s volunteer. Here we go.
One of the things that I love about the power of the mind and mind body healing is watching people get incredible results that they are even shocked by, and that is exactly what happened with my beautiful volunteer today. Today I worked with a man named Martin, and he’s been struggling with quite a few health challenges.
Now, as I began working with him, ultimately what I started doing is identifying what was going on in the mind body connection that was impacting him. Now, with his health, he had… He was not able to walk. He also had paralyzed… Like, his hands were stuck in claw fist, and he was not able to straighten them.
So he has been diagnosed with MS. And so what ultimately happened is as I began working with his mind, he was able to straighten his hand all of the way, and it shocked him. Now, a lot of people might think this is impossible. How could he actually do that? But keep in mind, you hear me share studies on multiple personality disorder, where there’s even a study where a woman went from being medically blind in one personality and immediately as she changed personalities could see in another personality.
Or other studies where somebody has needed insulin from diabetes in one personality and in another one not needed insulin at all. And so the radical shift of the mind can produce incredible results. And so that’s ultimately what I want to share with you today, is the insight that helped him to create that change.
Because, you know, so often people feel like this is impossible to create that real change, or they’ll feel things like, you know, the mind over matter, where we just have to kind of pretend that the issue isn’t there or just believe we’re already healed. But It’s different than that. It’s, it’s really understanding that mind body connection.
And so, and, and again, if we simplify it, if you think about, you know, s- if somebody’s embarrassed, their face can turn red. That is the mind body connection. That’s where emotions can affect the physical body. And so it’s really understanding that, of course, at a much, much, much deeper level. And so ultimately, as I was working with Martin, one of the things that came up, there were, there were multiple different patterns, and there always is.
There was multiple ingredients. But one of them was a feeling of rejection, but another one was also a feeling of wanting to control and being controlling. For example, um, w- one of the things was even in his relationship, he felt like… He had been divorced, but he felt like he wanted to control the situation.
He felt like he wanted to still be in the relationship, and he was controlling. But it wasn’t just that relationship. It was other situations. And what I love about Martin, though, is this, is he wasn’t trying to control from a negative place. Like, if you listen, and as I was working with him, this man is just, he’s beautiful.
He’s so sweet. He’s so caring, and he’s so kind. But what has been happening in his life is that he gets very controlling, dogmatic about certain things in his life. And because he’s so caring, he thinks, okay, he, he believes something so strong, he feels like he needs to control everybody with it. And so that feeling of wanting to control everybody with it is part of what’s been going on with him.
And so ultimately, what’s happening is that these emotions at a deeper level are impacting his physical body. And so ultimately, what we started doing is really started to create that change. And so a, a few insights that I could provide with you f- to you from this is ultimately, of course, if there are patterns of rejection or hurt, you definitely want to change those.
And also keep in mind that ult- ultimately other patterns can create or interfere or increase those patterns. And what I mean by that is, is in this case, you know, his tendency to control was creating a lot of problems in his relationship or get extremely dogmatic and extremely intense about situations also ended up backfiring in his life.
You know, even his energy towards, and his intense emotions towards religion is what ultimately ended his first marriage. And of course, you would think, well, re- religion is a good thing. Yes, I love relig- or relig- spirituality, whatever you want to call it. But There’s a certain way to do it, and there’s a way to be absolutely passionate about things without forcing beliefs on others or without controlling others.
And so, uh, part of the reason I wanna just emphasize this is because so often people think that, that, uh, mind body healing is all about fixing a trauma. And a lot of times it’s not necessarily that. I mean, I’ve seen people who have had health issues connected to speaking poorly about others, and what was causing it was them speaking poorly about others or being not in integrity when taking from others or, or, you know, being mean to others or whatnot.
So, and, and all of the time people will think, “Well, it just has to do with trauma.” It’s, it’s not a trauma. In so many cases, it, it can be a, a combination of different emotions. And so that’s another thing that I love about this particular session in working with him, is that part of what, where this came from was actually because he was, you know, a, a manager and then he felt like in the church, he felt like he was, um…
Like Jesus is basically w- that’s exactly what he said. He felt like he was playing the role of Jesus, and he was supposed to help people. And, and so, and, and by the way, he, he’s also very, very, uh, grounded, but there was, there was this feeling of he could recognize and he could see. He said, “You know, in my past I was so dogmatic about religion.”
And, and so he’d come out of that piece, but still he just had this feeling of, of wanting to help others to an extent that it was controlling, extremely controlling. And so kind of hard to explain, but if you li- if you wanna listen to the actual session with him, the link is in the show notes. And, and you, as you hear him, he’s just, he’s so sweet.
He’s so loving. He’s so sweet. He’s so caring. But the intensity of emotion that comes through ends up showing up in a controlling way that has then been negatively impacting him. And so again, what was beautiful though is he was able to move his hand, and he was able to do that. Now, of course, I gave you the example of multiple personality disorder, and I’m of course not saying he has that, but saying that he was able to do that and, and shift his mindset to create that change and to straighten his hand all of the way, which is huge for him considering that he could not physically straighten his hand until he started working with his mind.
So that’s huge. But as I mentioned to him, he’d have to really, really follow through to make it stay because of course, if you go back into the negative, the issue comes back. And so it is about real follow through. It does take creating a real, real change. But the beautiful thing is, is you can see the power of the mind.
And actually in the episode with him, I, I share some pictures so you can actually see the change with his hand and you can see that it is truly incredible. You know, it’s incredible what we are capable of. And that that’s what’s exciting is the power of the mind is, is absolutely incredible. And what I also really love is that if there’s any type of health issue, it’s, it’s literally like a spiritual check engine light.
It’s like universe, God, divine energy, body, mother nature, whatever you wanna call it, is our body’s way of saying, “Hey, check engine light. Something is off that we need to change.” And then when we change that, it becomes a life-changing gift. And so it’s like a spiritual check engine light telling him, “Hey, it’s, it’s…
You wanna change. You know, things are off. You wanna change.” And of course, all of the time I see people as they make the change, not only do they heal themselves, but they also change their life. And so it’s, it’s just truly incredible what we are capable of with the power of our own minds. So I just, I love that.
