Hypnotism and hypnotherapy have long been recognized for the benefits they can bring. In the last one hundred years, it has been studied, tested, and refined. Today it provides benefits for millions of people.
About 25 years ago, I started my venture into the health and fitness industry. I eventually received my certification as a fitness trainer and did that for about 10 years. I thoroughly enjoyed helping my clients reach their health goals. It’s a feeling of joy that I get to day as a hypnotherapist.
When I was a teen and reading everything from novels to Reader’s Digests to Mom or Dad’s encyclopedias and self-help books, I was fascinated with a particular malaise that I had felt for years but had no words to articulate. I had most of the symptoms of depression; therefore, I was bent on reading articles about depression. That was about thirty years ago, so while the info then was more limited than it is now, I have a better understanding of an illness (or syndrome) that severely impacts those with it and those who live with persons who have it: such statistics that hold that in any given year, some 13 to 14 million people will suffer some degree of depressive disorder (according to www.add-adhd-help-center.com).
At a local store that I had been to recently, I was quite impressed by the hair coloring of the clerk there. I told her how good it looked with that dark base and the streaks that looked so natural; as if sun kissed. This led us to talking about how earlier when we were young we did not have to resort to any hair dyes. We just had to apply SunIn and stay in the sun for a couple of hours to get the desired hair color. We also discussed how that was almost impossible to be done now what with us destroying the ozone layer and thereby exposing ourselves to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. (SunIn, by the way is just a pump spray and not at all an aerosol)
There is no doubt that hypnosis is a very effective treatment of stress. Stress develops when an individual feel he does not have the required resources to cope with a task he is confronted with. Hypnosis works by changing belief and capability so the subject no longer feels he is unable to cope.
Over the weekend, I went over to the skating rink with friends and laced up my skating shoes! I’m not the most graceful of skaters so I found myself on the ground feverishly trying to get myself up before any of my friends saw me fall. However, as I looked around I saw many of us falling and standing. In the middle of all our chaos, we noticed this young girl so involved in her skating that no one else seemed to matter to her as she skated with ease and grace. It was a grace that took me back to 2002 when Sarah Hughes won the gold over predicted gold medal winner, Michelle Kwan.

From “Misled” - A book that tells the truth about the fitness industry.
