Indestructible: The Hidden Gifts of Trauma by Krista Nerestant
1- Would you tell us something about hypnotism that people don't tend to know?
Most people don't know that hypnotism is that the client is very much aware and conscious of everything that is going on but the hypnotist has guided the client to achieve an alpha state brain wave (or deeper) to access information only received by the subconscious. It is a delicate balance of both conscious mind and subconscious mind.
2- Would you please, in 160 characters or less, give a #WriteTip ?
Write a vomit draft without obsessing over the grammar and technicalities of the craft.
3- What most motivates you to read a new book?
I am motivated by my desire to explore in the narratives of someone else's story. It is my outlet to get out of my own story and journey onto another. Whether fantasy or real. It's all an escape for me.
4- What is the most inspiring aspect of being an immigrant in the United States from the Philippines?
The most inspiring aspect of being an immigrant is having a very different perspective in life. As an immigrant I do not take anything for granted having come from a country that is economically less fortunate than the US. My insatiable need to be always curious, I believe is an inspiring aspect of me due to being an immigrant.
5- Would you share a picture with us of your book in an interesting setting?
6- Would you please share a simple self-care tip someone could try today?
Place a hand on your chest and one in your belly, take a deep inhale and affirm. "I am safe and able." Take your time in exhaling the breath out.
7- What's your Twitter handle, and do you have two or three writer friends on there to shout-out to for #WriterWednesday ?
@knerestant1 Shout out to @ashleyormon
8- Do you have a favorite #bookstagram image or account/ profile?
@bookswithtay
9- Are you a Plotter, Pantser, or Plantser, and how did you adopt that style?
Definitely a Plotter. I adopted this style because it allowed me to focus and have a sense of where to head to next as I write but isn’t so rigid that I can’t divert from it.
10- What does your basic writing schedule look like, and how often do you write?
My writing schedule isn’t scheduled at all. I am the writer who goes all in and then will pause if need be. A break isn’t necessarily caused by writer's block, it’s just a respite from going hard in the paint.

Wow! The answer to 1 🤯 is mindblowing.
🤔 Could this mean a person is using Alpha waves when they're "running on automatic"? Like during a low blood sugar crisis or something. When you're just following a routine but not thinking and then an hour passed and you don't know how dinner got cooked or how you got home or whatever?
Or is that something different?
