To minimize risk of exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 virus and COVID-19 variants, I am continuing to suspend in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office. Meanwhile, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

When I was a freshman at Occidental College,
I noticed something very interesting: all of the students looked the same.
Well, not exactly the same, as in identical; but our similarity in physical
features and even social backgrounds struck me as uncanny. One of my favorite
instructors reminded me of my mother, from her general physique and gentle
demeanor to the curly, salt-and-pepper dark hair they wore in a similar style.
Maybe that resemblance contributed to her being one of my favorite professors. I
remember that my fourth-grade teacher reminded me of one of my grandmothers;
Mrs. Payne also happened to be one of my favorite grammar-school teachers. I
don’t think that was a coincidence. One of the first good friends I made at Goldsmiths College in London, during my junior
year abroad reminded me of my sister; they both even shared the same major in English
literature.
On Tuesday, May 17, 2016, KFI AM
640 radio host Gary Hoffman
and his featured guest, Wendy Walsh,
Ph.D., discussed people’s subconscious tendency to recreate the “home” or family environment/social
schema where they work. Dr. Walsh’s description of this behavior sounded a lot like Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder John Kappas, Ph.D.’s Theory
of Mind. No matter where we are or who we are with, we subconsciously want
to return to those early experiences where we felt comfortable—even if we were
experiencing pain in that situation. Both models made total sense.
Many people
spend a majority of their waking day at work or at school/college. Whether it
is a youngster’s first day in kindergarten or the first time newly minted CEO
walks into the boardroom to facilitate a meeting, anxiety (pain) is usually the
dominant emotion experienced. To alleviate this discomfort, we subconsciously
look for any similarity between what he or she knows/knows how to do and other
people with whom we have shared this previous environment or space. I remember the
anxiety I experienced when the original owner of Black
Belt magazine sold the company in 2001. All of the staff was anxious
about our job security, even the senior editors and art directors. We all knew
that the new line manager could easily decide this was a chance to “refresh”
the current business model and get new writers and editors. Would our possible
replacements actually be more skilled at our job or just a better social “fit”
for the new boss? As it turned out, most of us kept our job and even got
promotions when Black Belt magazine’s
current owners bought and expanded the company a few years later. However, it
was easy to see that new writers and editors that were hired were much more
“like” and compatible with the new executive staff.
When I interviewed
for college and, later, future jobs, I subconsciously looked for an environment
where I already felt comfortable and
shared interests/goals as the people with whom I would be sharing that
environment. I have no doubt that Oxy’s college-acceptance board and my prospective
employers had similar criteria when they considered how well I would fit in
with them. The same could also be said of how I was originally recruited to
join NRG—the business-network group to
which I belong—and even, to some extent, how my clients “choose” to work with
me as their hypnotherapist. What is similar? What is familiar? That is where we
ultimately go—and stay.

Hi, there. I am Tom Neil and I wish to describe how life had been for my younger brother living with schizophrenia and how he had been permanently worthy to overcome this debilitating disease via a naturopathic, herbal method.
ReplyDeleteMaicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was brought to the emergency room by the campus police of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. A professor had called and reported that he had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his tuition money, and refused to leave.
Although he had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. My sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from my room and ask my family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.
My father and sister told the staff that Maicon's great-grandmother had had a serious illness and had lived for 30 years in a state hospital, which they believed was a mental hospital. Our mother left the family when Maicon was very young. She has been out of touch with us, and they thought she might have been treated for mental health problems.
Maicon agreed to sign himself into the psychiatric unit for treatment. The whole family except I had agreed to have Maicon transferred to a mental asylum. I knew inwardly there was still some plausible means by which my kid brother could overcome this condition. I knew botanical means of treatment will be more favorable than any other type of treatment, and as such, I had taken a keen interest in the research of naturopathic alternative measures suitable for the treatment of schizophrenia. I had pleaded for some little patience from the family in the delay of the transfer, I was looking forward to proving a point to the entire family, of a positive botanical remedy for this condition.
It was during my ceaseless search on the internet I had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially schizophrenia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that my brother had been able to improve his condition for better.
Before the naturopathic remedy - Maicon's story had reflected a common case, in which a high-functioning young adult goes through a major decline in day-to-day skills. Although family and friends may feel this is a loss of the person they knew, the illness can be treated and a good outcome is possible.
My brother Maicon is just like many other patients out there suffering from this disease. Although he was able to overcome this condition via a naturopathic herbal remedy administered by this African herbal physician and saved completely thus, rekindling the lost joy which had been experienced by the family members.
I wish to use this opportunity to reach across to anyone who may happen to be diagnosed with this disastrous condition to spread the hope of an everlasting herbal remedy that is capable of imposing a permanent end to this disease.
