M ore Possibilities

Hi all.  My office is still about a week away from completion.  I ran into some very belligerent wall paper. I am quite enthused today though.  One of the Omni hypnotists is looking for someone to help a friend of his in San Francisco.  She is going through chemotherapy and wants to see an Omni-trained hypnotist.  Since my son lives out there, I offered my services.  I would love to go out to visit and see the client.  Also, since I have had cancer and been through all aspects of treatment,  I would be a good candidate to work with this cancer patient.

Later today the University of Michigan Hospital called to do some follow-up study on how I was doing with my neck cancer surgery.  After I provided them the information, I mentioned that I had become a hypnotist and if I could be of help to anyone there I am available.  The young lady gave my information to the head of the Oncology support group.

So one thing leads to another.  It's a little embarrassing but you have to put yourself out there a little (or a lot).  I have something to offer many people. One thing Jerry has said repeatedly,"It takes courage."

Hopefully I will work with many people and be of great benefit to almost all of them.  Hope you are well.

I will persevere

Hi all.  A couple of days ago I listened to my old mentor, Gerald Kein.  He was giving a web broadcast on group hypnosis.  The purpose of the "webinar" (I'm not sure of the proper definition) was to get people interested enough to sign up to see Gerry's presentation at the National Guild of Hypnotists convention in August.  Mission accomplished Gerry.  He uses Gerry or Jerry, by the way.  

It was great to hear my old teacher (he's at least 5 years older than me).  He is a direct connection to Dave Elman.  He worked with Dave when Jerry was just a teenager. He learned a lot from the Master and he has patterned his hypnosis on that of Dave Elman.  I really think he should write a book on those experiences.  

Anyway, I was inspired to restart my group hypnosis work.  I'm really enthused and have some ideas I want to try out.  I will start with three sessions a week.  The times will stay constant and subjects will rotate so if you want to go at 9AM you will be able to see any of the subjects. The other time slots will be 2 PM and 7 PM.  I'm starting with Smoking, Self Hypnosis and Stress Reduction.

My office is being repainted right now so my sessions can start in June.

Jerry has a lot of good ideas to get business and I can come up with a few of my own.  I am looking for an assistant to keep the fires stoked and keep some order.  Hope you are well.
