This picture shows the main viewpoint difference between a hypnotist and a doctor.

A doctor treats your symptoms.... You have to return every few months for another medical appointment to monitor your progress, and to ensure that your meds are good until your next appointment.... It never ends. There is no financial incentive for a medical doctor to actually cure you.

Understand... I am not attacking medical doctors, I fully accept their usefulness and need. But they specialize in ongoing maintenance and fighting your symptoms... you will be their patient for months or years.

Hypnotists work differently. When we see a client, we generally need 3 sessions to make their situation go away, and stay away. We generally don't see the same client again unless they have another issue that they'd like to address.

Think about that.... if you have a problem (Smoking, biting nails, grinding teeth, insecurity, PTSD).... You see a hypnotist 3 times, and in less than a month your problem will be over. You can get on with your life.

3 weeks... Under $400... and you're done smoking. Biting nails. Grinding teeth. Ending your restless leg syndrome. Sleeping better and sounder.

I've got slots on my Calendar beginning in September, as I have resolved the issues for all the clients on my calendar. The time is open... Are you open for change?

One of the best things that happens for a hypnotist is referrals. We see a client maybe three times before we resolve their issue... And we do resolve their issue.... My success rate is well into the 90 percent range. Frankly, it's good to to get referrals from happy clients, it's the best way to keep getting new clients.

But it's something special when your own medical doctor sends referrals to you. My P*P has sent me several smoking cessation clients, a fear of doctors client, and now a teeth grinding client.

He told this new client that I was the most skilled hypnotist he'd encountered. Guess he was basing that over my results with the previous clients he had referred to me

But it still made me feel good.

Such a powerful image.... And completely true. What would your life be if you had different habits? Stopping the habits of negative thoughts, smoking, fears....Building new habits of love, trust, confidence, and happiness.

First step is to reach out to your friendly neighborhood hypnotist and we'll change your habits so you can change your life.

Business has been light the past few weeks... Vacation, graduations, etc have put self help on hold for many folk

Will offer 40% off for the next three people who book a session (for the full term of help, usually 3 sessions but some are faster and a few need more time)... I am already the lowest priced certified hypnotist in the area, but this deal should be a great deal... You can quit smoking forever for less than what you spend on ci******es in a single month, or take the pain away from long standing trauma for about the cost of a hotel room for a night.

Start with a fb message... we'll arrange a call to discuss your problem for free, and if we are both on board, we'll relieve you of it inexpensively.

My hypnosis mentor, Lauren Hall, just shared a great email about "What to do if you don't know what to do" to help people who feel "stuck". Sharing her post. She (or I) can help free you from this paralysis.. Reach out if you need more help after reading this....

============

🤷‍♀️ What to Do If You Feel Like You Don’t Know What to Do
Let’s just get this out of the way:

If you feel stuck, frozen, lost, confused, overwhelmed—or just plain blank—you’re not broken.

You’re not behind.

You’re just human.

And actually?

You’re in a perfect place to make change.

Because when you feel like you don’t know what to do, what’s usually happening is:

Your mind is looping in logic—and your body is craving a deeper answer.

That’s where hypnosis comes in.

Not as a quick fix.

But as a deeper reset.

🧠 The “I Don’t Know” Loop is a Trance
You might not realize this, but…

Saying, “I don’t know”

Yep. You’re hypnotizing yourself.

Not on purpose. Not in a “bad” way. But you’re repeating a suggestion to your subconscious—and it’s listening. Always listening.

And your subconscious? It takes that message seriously.

It hears:

We don’t know. It’s not safe to act. Better wait. Better freeze. Better overthink some more.

And so the cycle continues.

So… what do you do when you feel like you don’t know what to do?
You don’t need more thinking.

You don’t need to Google harder.

You don’t need to spiral into shame or compare yourself to people who “have it all figured out.”

Instead, you interrupt the loop.

And here’s how you do it:

🔄 Step 1: Flip the question.
Instead of asking:

“What should I do?”

Ask:

“How do I want to feel right now?”

This might sound too simple. But hear me:

Your subconscious doesn’t work in spreadsheets.

It works in states.

So if you can connect to a feeling state—peaceful, grounded, motivated, open—you’ve just given your brain something it can work with.

You’ve shifted from “problem mode” into “resource mode.”

🌀 Step 2: Give your subconscious a new suggestion.
This can be subtle. It doesn’t need to be some grand epiphany. Try something like:

“Even though I don’t know exactly what to do, I’m open to clarity.”

“It’s safe to pause. It’s okay not to know yet.”

“Every breath I take helps me reconnect with my own wisdom.”

(Notice how different that feels than “What am I doing with my life?!” 🙃)

These aren’t affirmations. They’re instructions.

They’re reminders that your subconscious is still on your team—even when your conscious mind is confused.

🔍 Step 3: Listen to your intuition’s whisper, not your ego’s megaphone.
That little flicker of curiosity? That small sense of relief when you imagine one option over another? That’s your guidance system.

Hypnosis doesn’t force decisions.

It makes it safe for clarity to rise.

And clarity? Doesn’t always show up with trumpets and a five-point plan.

Sometimes it shows up as a quiet yes in your body.

Sometimes it shows up as the thing you don’t want to do anymore.

Either way—it counts.

What’s Next?
If you feel like you don’t know what to do, you’re actually standing at the doorway of possibility.

You don’t need to rush.

You don’t need to have the whole picture.

You just need to reconnect to

yourself.

And that’s exactly what hypnosis is designed to help you do.

Good day all - I have recovered enough from my surgery and I am reopening my practice the first week of April.I have 2 clients that week, so still room for 2 more

Let me know if you want to schedule a call.

Remember....anything that is a habit can be changed if you want it.... Your golf swing, your fears, nail biting, the way you see your spouse, sleep problems, addictions, trauma ... A great tool to help in so many ways

01/16/2025

Hello all....

I am taking a break from my practice while I heal from surgery that has me homebound and unable to drive.

I expect to be back to helping people sometime in February.

If you wish to have discussions before booking, I will be available for phone or zoom calls free of charge. No hypnosis or therapy, but we can find out if your situation can be helped with Hypnosis.

Had a recent victory helping someone get past a gambling addiction, another who needed help getting over a severe fear of doctors offices, and yet another smoker... So I can help a wide range of problems.

I DID experience my first true failure versus smoking.... Had a client who was struggling, and just not fully committed to becoming a non-smoker...

In our last session, we did what is known as "Parts therapy"... I allowed her to name the parts of her personality that wanted to stop smoking (She had "the Mother" and "Captain Freedom") and the parts that wanted to continue... and that was the problem. The part that wanted to continue she named "The Real Me", and associated it with her pre-divorce, pre-marriage, pre-childhood self... and smoking was what kept that part of her connected, and she decided to keep on smoking

I can only help those who want to be helped... I am good... but nobody can help those who aren't ready to change.

Later all! Looking forward to getting back to helping.

Summer is coming to a close.... What would make your life better for the new school year and fall?

I can help you
- Quit Smoking, usually without withdrawal symptoms
- Move past trauma - Grief, PTSD, Failed relationships, nearly anything
- Have more confidence. Believe in yourself more. Study better, take tests better. Improve your motivation.
- Have a better relationship in so many ways.

And so much more.

ANYTHING that is a habit, and that you want to be changed, can be changed in the next month.

As I said many a time, in Hypnosis, you always need to find new clients because your old ones no longer have the problems that brought them to you in the first place. So we're always looking for new ones.

I have openings beginning next week. Convenient evening hours.

Board certified by Modern Day Hypnosis, and the International Association of Counselors and Therapists in hypnosis.

Good day all -

So I have been talking about the good I do with helping people become non-smokers.... I need to remind you all that's not the only thing I do.

I also do remarkable work in -

- Helping people overcome fears - Have had clients come to me who were terrified of going to doctors, flying, and public speaking. All have been happy with the results. Basically.... fear is a habit, and if you wish to change it... I can help

- Overcoming Trauma -I have had clients come to me with crippling trauma from the death of a child, to having been r***d, to having gone through a horrible divorce. The work I have done here is literally life changing, two of my clients told me that I literally saved their lives.

- Relationship Issues - One of my favorite client stories is a lady who approached me telling me she no longer physically desired her husband of 20 years any longer. We booked 3 sessions. She felt a little better after session one. After session 2, she called me to thank me and tell me she didn't need the third session. I have many stories of success in this field... We don't think about it, but our relationships are habits... and we can change how we see our partners.

This summer has been a slow time, so taking 20% off the 60 minute booking. The time has come for you to make your life better.

If you're ready to change your life, I'm ready to change your mind to make it possible.

Check the website at GSOhypnosis.com. PLEASE... email or text, I am almost never available to take phone calls, but we will schedule a follow up call.

Hello all-

There are two things I love to do... Help people get over traumatic experiences and create new Non-Smokers.

You notice I didn't say "help people stop smoking". If you help people to stop, they may fall into old habits, and they are much more likely to have withdrawal symptoms. If you help people realize they are a non-smoker, there is little temptation to fall into your old habits, and withdrawal symptoms are much rarer... Because if you don't smoke, you're not tempted to have one with a drink, and your body will manage the withdrawal symptoms in other ways. I have had 14 smokers come to me for help. My record is 14-0 vs smoking. Of course, perfection won't last forever, but I have high confidence that I can help anyone who truly wants to find that they don't smoke.

As to traumatic issues... What is traumatic? Of course injury... The death of a loved one... The loss of a romantic partner.... Divorce.... r**e... fear of doctors, heights, flying, public speaking.... and so many other things. When you return someone to functioning normally after a long time of being unable to do so... It is a wonderful feeling.

Two recent clients (I have permission to tell their stories without names) come to mind for trauma... The first was a lady in her 50's who was r***d as a teenager, and spent the last 30-40 years blaming her self, living in fear, and being unable to watch most TC shows out of fear of triggering an anxiety attach. After our sessions, she feels free, no longer blames herself, and has no worries about anxiety.

The second is a man in his 60's who had so much trauma piled up about medical doctors, that he couldn't see a doctor, and when he tried, they couldn't draw blood for tests... Literally his "fight or flight" reflex had triggered, and his body greatly reduced the flow of blood to his arms. After 3 sessions, he is seeing a doctor, having blood drawn, and feeling free.

Can I help you with traumatic issues or becoming a non-smoker? I hope so, as the nature of hypnosis is that we generally resolve a problem in about 3 sessions, and graduate a client to return to their normal life. So we're always looking for more.

Please check out my website at www.gsohypnosis.com. If you wish an appointment, message me, email me, or text me. Most phone calls will reach my voice mail, as I am rarely free to answer them unless I book the time

Best wishes to a smoke and trauma free future!

Your friendly neighborhood hypnotist

So, sometimes your conscious and subconscious minds need a little time to work out their disagreements.

Just finished 3 sessions with a client who had a great fear of visiting Doctors.

He had multiple layers of trauma built up, from waking up during surgery when he was a child, to having unexpected bleeding, to being left overnight in a hospital, thinking his parents had abandoned him there, to watching doctors unable to save his wife from dying of cancer.

After three sessions, he was still having an inability to call a doctor to go for a physical. I was worried that I had failed him. I know each session that he was in a great state of hypnosis, and he seemed to be responding very well to the suggestions...but the end result didn't come through immediately

I told him to give it a week to sink in, and then I would do another session without charge to reinforce the concepts.

He called me about 5 days into that week to tell me that all was well, he had arranged a Dr appointment next week, and he wasn't worried about it at all.

That extra 5 days of thinking about it gave his conscious and subconscious time to meld, and I expect him to do well. So much trauma to work through, but he did it!

Just sharing this story. I am fully booked with clients the next few weeks. But if you wish help dealing with trauma, stopping smoking, or changing any habit...reach out. I can help you if you really want to change.
