Spend 3-Days of Study at Hypnosis Nevada, LLC I have opened my new office in Las Vegas. Since 2006 I have been in 4 different hypnosis offices, three in Tulsa and now my new office in Las Vegas. (Prior to this time I was doing hypnosis, but in a counseling setting). [...]
Aside from politics, religion or conspiracy theory, nothing creates as much passion and debate on social media as the debate about which diet is “correct”. And hypnotists frequently ask me what dietary recommendations they should make for hypnosis clients. And the right answer seems frustrating to hypnotists. The right answer is: We are neither [...]
The great claim of hypnotists: I only need ONE session to help a smoker quit forever. In fact, this great claim is also made in training programs with the admonition to potential students that if they don’t learn how to do it on one sessions, they must not be a good hypnotist! There is [...]
Hypnotists are regular people just like the rest of the population, and every practicing hypnotist finds their niche.
