The fear of public speaking haunts many of us. The thought of having all eyes on you worrying about the judgement of the masses is a relatively common fear.  For most people it is not debilitating, just an annoyance. For many it's a fear that goes away with just a little experience and training. But for a few, it is the worst possible situation they can imagine. Now imagine that speaking to groups makes you feel faint and nauseous and your job requires it every week. What do you do? You make excuses, lose sleep, ask someone else to cover [...]

I was recently interviewed by Business Talk Radio in a segment where they were discussing how the profession of hypnosis has evolved. Click the button to hear the entire interview. Listen To The Radio Interview

Hypnotizability isn't a thing. The idea of being hypnotizable has evolved from people watching stage hypnosis. There is often a time that the hypnotist will take one of the subjects and remove them from the stage because they are not responding quickly enough. Researchers have even developed hypntizability tests (ran by eager undergrads wanting to ef with peoples minds). This can lead people to believe that certain kinds of people cannot be hypnotized.  That is just not true. What people don't understand is that hypnosis is an entirely natural phenomena. At its very simplest it is a narrowing of the [...]

You Can Really Never Fail to Quit Smoking I tell this to all my quit smoking clients and it's worth repeating here. When it comes to quitting smoking THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE. Why? Because failure only happens when you 1) give up completely and decide you will always smoke, and 2) you fail to learn from your last attempt. While others are going to be hard on themselves and whine "I failed" you'll do several things differently. First, you will vow to continue. If your last attempt to quit ended with you deciding to smoke a cigarette [...]

Can everyone be hypnotized? This is a version of a question I get asked often. It demonstrates how confusing the idea of hypnosis is for people.  To answer it I usually have to explain something about hypnosis. Firstly, I explain hypnosis is a very natural phenomenon. Hypnosis involves a focusing of the attention. Thus, anyone who can understand and follow simple instructions can experience hypnosis. This does not mean that everyone will get the result they want just because they are hypnotized. Success requires a skilled hypnotist  to help formulate the best hypnotic solution to a problem. For example a [...]

Hypnosis To Forget? I've been asked can I use hypnosis to forget a bad memory or trauma? The answer is not completely yes or no. There is a short answer to that questions and a long answer. The Short Answer, Yes. Yes, it is possible to have someone forget a memory or a trauma but it's important to understand that forgetting the trauma is not the same as removing the symptom created by the event. Simply removing the memory of a car accident does not promise to end the fear of driving. Having worked with over 10,000 hypnosis subjects in [...]

Hypnotic Regression is Sometimes Cruel. Some hypnotist believe that results can be achieved when a hypnotist regresses a person to an initial sensitizing event (ISE). An initial sensitizing event is the first time a person originally experienced a trauma. Through hypnosis the hypnosis subject can be led back in time to re-experience the event and reevaluated it with objectivity with an adult awareness. Regression to initial sensitizing events can bring about very dramatic results. There is however a major downside. The downside of regression is bringing the client through a deep and traumatic event. The hypnotist is essentially forcing the [...]
