About 10 years ago I became interested in hypnosis. I wanted to learn how to hypnotize myself. And then after I learned, I wanted to use it on TLC clients. So, I did. I took a course that I completed in about a year and began practicing on a few close friends and family members.
When I finally felt confident enough I started working with clients who wanted to quit smoking. I learned how to interview those who were serious because I needed to separate them from those who thought it was an easy, magical way to quit the deadly habit. If they thought it was something easy that could be accomplished through hypnosis alone I would try to educate them before I would waste the time. I'd make sure they were highly motivated to kick the habit and understood that it would require effort on their part. And I'd love it when someone would ask me for help and be on fire for change.
To date I'd estimate that I've helped at least 30 clients change into healthy non-smokers. And you may wonder why I focus on this group. And it's because I had at least 10 aunts, uncles, cousins and other close family members who developed lung diseases that killed them prematurely. It was painful to see the suffering they went through prior to their deaths.
I do sessions with those who have various psychological issues with which they are grappling. Things like self-confidence, self-esteem, self-image and so on. Hypnosis works best when I can get a specific idea of what the clients need, then we work toward that goal.
Helping clients through hypnosis is one of many ways we help them grow and improve their lives.
I haven’t had a cigarette since our sessions. Thank you, John.
