Call me so we can discuss your concerns & issues. You will probably get my answering machine so tell yourself over and over, “I will not hang up,” “I will not hang up”, and then give me your name & number as clearly as possible.

If I have not called you back within several hours please call back because I may not have been able to make out your message.

DOES YOUR GROUP NEED A SPEAKER?

Like most of you, I was skeptical about hypnosis. All I knew was what I had seen in the movies and on the stage. I figured I was too strong willed to be hypnotized. But then, I had never read a text book on the subject. Have you?

Did you know that Mayo Clinic, Menninger Clinic, and Masters and Johnson Clinic all use hypnotherapy for various reasons? And did you know that the more intelligent you are, the easier it is?

Q&A

Will I be asleep when I am hypnotized?

No, the hypnotic state is simply a relaxed state of mind, in which one is still aware of the environment. Many people think they were not hypnotized when actually they were. The conscious mind is never so out of reach as to allow a person to enter into foolish or immoral acts. Of course, if you harbor a secret desire to imitate an orangutan and swing from a chandelier, and that particular suggestion were given, you might. But it hardly ever comes up.

How about giving me some examples of how people benefit from hypnosis?

Ok...
Example #1 - An overweight woman learns to "eat when hungry, stop when full" and she drops off pounds slowly but surely and safely with no feelings of being deprived.

Example #2 - A sexually frustrated wife learns through hypnosis of an event in her past that caused her to be frigid. If there is no event, hypnosis can help train her to reach fulfillment.

Example #3 - A middle-aged man, who has smoked for over twenty years, and who has tried to stop many times, allows his inner mind to be programmed. This helps him not think of cigarettes when one of his old triggers ap­pears.

Stop right there! What is a trigger?

A trigger is anything that precedes the event. For example, a cup of coffee is a trigger that causes many people to want a cigarette.

Anything else I should know?

Yes. Know your therapist. The State of Tennessee does not require licensing, so it is imperative you know about the credentials of the person you intend to work with. Checking around is good but there are three things you might want to ask:

One - What is the educational back­ground of the therapist and from what university or college did he or she receive it?

Two - Will you have the therapist's full attention during the session or will you be left in the room with a tape playing?

Three - Will your sessions be private or with a group? Often times, a lower fee is available to groups.
