I am not sure of the reason, but clients I have been seeing recently are the most enthusiastic about the benefits of hypnotherapy. They arrive in an excited state to find out more. They adapt quickly to what hypnosis can do. Here is what hypnotherapy can do for you ...

As a hypnotist, when clients call to book a session, they always ask how many session will a resolution require. My answer never varies -- minimum of three, maximum of six. I qualify this by saying that if the client is a somnambulist, we may only need one to two sessions. Somnambulists seem to quickly settle their issues.

I received a call from a gentleman who just had been told his brain cancer was terminal. Six months to live. Nothing more Western medicine could do except pain medications. Desperate, he would do anything to resolve his cancer. People often turn to hypnotherapy when they have exhausted other options. I had just watched a friend die of brain cancer. I had a strong sense of ...

I received a call from the ex-wife of a Korean gentleman who had suffered a stroke six years ago. She worried because he was unusually depressed. He told her he did not want to live. She, too, was a hypnotist but with nowhere near my experience, prompting her to call.

In her words, they are experiencing ...

A 51-year-old male called recently because he is experiencing premature ejaculation. Could hypnotherapy help? He had undergone many different types of treatment, and all to no avail. Since nothing had worked, he was convinced it was in his head. Sex experts tend to say premature ejaculation is caused by ...

The Olympic Games again will be remembered for their youth, vitality, camaraderie, and most of all the amazing athletes’ determination to win. I am sure many have used a hypnotist to help their concentration, stamina and zeal to prevail. Most professional teams in the United States and overseas use a hypnotist. He will help anyone who ...

A gentleman having trouble with severe tinnitus (ringing in the ear) called me recently. His Kaiser Permanente doctor told him it was incurable. He was advised to consult a hypnotist. I have had successful outcomes with several tinnitus clients. According to the Mayo Clinic, tinnitus cannot be ...

For the first time in 30 years, I took time off and went to the Getty Villa as a birthday present for my wife, who never had been there. While there, I was struck by how little we humans have changed. Fashions and technology made almost unrecognizable changes, but ...

You never know what to expect in my line of work. A potential client in Long Island called to ask if I could help him with an issue that no hypnotherapist in New York was willing to address. He wanted to feel comfortable when he wore ...
