Meet the vendor: College Park Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a word that creates both curiosity and fear due to its history and frequent misunderstanding thanks largely to Hollywood and fiction writers. Hypnosis is trance. Daydreams are trance. They are the same phenomenon. All of us use trance every day in our lives. Because we are our own best hypnotists, we need to be careful what we say to ourselves and how we say it. This internal dialogue shapes our beliefs which become our reality. A hypnotist is really nothing but a guide. The client must want to accept the suggestions to change their beliefs to make positive changes. The client is the one in control. As a former registered nurse for 33 years, I got into hypnosis after I retired as I discovered it was a neat way to help people create positive changes in their lives. Imagine making a change that is holding you back. How would that feel? Come by my booth and learn how your mind works and if you like, experience how a deep trance really feels. This is part of my free introductory session that I do with all my clients as I want them completely comfortable with the whole process. As an educated consumer, they can decide if it is right for them before they put any money down. I do not know what is more fair than that.
I welcome everyone, even skeptics, whether you want to make a change or just curious. (You know you want to….)
