How Did You Become Interested in Hypnosis?

When I was around eight years old, I saw a stage hypnotist perform at the Orange County Fair in California. I remember a guy in the audience got hypnotized just from watching, and he ended up becoming a part of the show.

In short order, I purchased a book about hypnosis from an ad in a comic book. It even came with a plastic “Hypno-Disc” optical illusion to use for hypnotizing people!

Fast forward a few decades, I was working as an Accountant, and getting bored with the corporate lifestyle. I remembered my previous interest in hypnosis, and decided to do some research to see if there was a “legit” place I could learn more about the subject.

So, I opened up a phone book. That’s what we used to find things in the olden days before the internet. Under the category of “hypnosis,” I found there was a School of Healing Arts offering courses just ten blocks from where I lived. Literally, right down the street!?

I signed up for a 250 hour Hypnosis Certification course with classes spread out over nine months. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I was certainly enthusiastic about this new adventure!

Those classes almost 20 years ago were my first exposure to clinical hypnosis for behavioral change and transformation. We also learned about the up and coming field of Energy Psychology– a family of approaches to psychology, coaching, and healthcare treatment that focus on the mind-body connection. These protocols happen to integrate nicely with hypnosis techniques.
