  • Can Hypnosis Make Me Rich, Thin, Brilliant And Happy?
    It’s a question I’ve been asked over a dozen times since starting my hypnotherapy practice. It’s asked in different ways, of course, depending upon the directness and wordsmanship of the asker.

    But the jist is this: Can hypnosis change my essential nature? Can it give me all the things I want—and want to be? And can it be done effortlessly—or at least painlessly?

    The answer is no. And, well, yes.

    You’ve heard the old, old joke: “Can you change the lightbulb?” “Only i...
  • Can Left-Brained People Be Hypnotized?
    These days there is a lot of evidence that we are all truly “whole-brained.” We don’t rely exclusively, or even primarily, on the left or the right side. (There are also lobes to be dealt with, but that’s not our purpose here.)

    Yet many people like to classify themselves as almost-exclusively left- or right-brained, no matter what current research states. It’s not so different from taking pride in, or finding fault with, being a Capricorn vs. a Libra, with the particular c...
  • Phone Hypnosis — Does It Really Work?
    For over 10 years I have been a hypnotherapist (or “hypnotist”—I’m using the terms interchangeably). In the early years hypnosis by phone simply wasn’t on my radar screen. As time passed, I heard about it now and then. Once in a while a client asked if I did it. I said “No.”

    And then my clients began traveling for business. A few of them said what they hated most of all was missing our weekly or biweekly hypnosis session. “I’m not functioning as well when I don’t get that ...
  • Hypnosis: Mind’s Magic Pill?
    There is a problem with hypnosis. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Here’s how I know….

    One day a good client asks me out of the blue: “What do I tell people you do?”

    “You don’t know what I do?” I ask her.

    She explains that she has decided it’s time to start referring friends because her objective has been fully realized, and she really knows “it works.”

    “Tell them I‘m a hypnotherapist,” I say.

    “Hmm,” she says.

    “Or hypnotist, if it’s more familiar.”

    “E...
  • Hypnosis For Your Love Life?
    Because I’m a hypnotherapist, and because one of the specialties closest to my heart is helping people with attraction, love, and romance, this question comes up often in my practice:

    “Do you teach your clients how to hypnotize people to fall in love with them instantly?”

    The short answer is no.

    The long answer is, no, I don’t, not ever, not even if you say pretty please. Because in my heart it would be unethical, not to mention impossible, to coerce someone to fall ...
  • Hypnosis: 5 Things It Can Do For You Today
    Lately you may have noticed articles from respected sources that give hypnosis credit as an aid in alleviating suffering from many medical conditions; as a way to break destructive habits; and even as an assist to achieving goals.

    Perhaps you have become intrigued by the subject, especially if you once thought of hypnosis only as entertainment.

    If you’re like many intelligent people I meet, you’re probably thinking, “Hypnosis sounds interesting, but what can it do for M...
  • Notes From A Hypnotist, Part 2: Creating A New Year That’s Way Better Than Last Year
    This is part 2 of a two-part series, and to save time and effort, we’ll take a moment to review the highlights of part 1. If you’re like me, and you feel compelled to read both parts, check the archives for “Notes From A Hypnotist: How To Repair A Broken New Year’s Resolution” by Wendy Lapidus-Saltz.

    Here are the highlights of part 1: There are essentially five reasons that most New Year’s resolutions come undone quickly. All have to do with how and why you made your resol...
  • Notes From A Hypnotist: How To Repair A Broken New Year’s Resolution (Part 1)
    How long did it take to break your New Year’s resolution this year? You haven’t yet? You are one of the rare few.

    Why so rare? Because many resolutions are made as a cultural custom—it’s what we “do” every year at this time. And for the majority, the custom of breaking a resolution is as strong a part of the tradition as making it.

    In their hearts, most people expect it to happen. As a hypnotherapist, the post-New Year’s crowds are already breaking down my doors. But mu...
  • Re-Invigorate Your New Year’s Resolution With Hypnosis
    How long did it take to break your New Year’s resolution this year? You haven’t yet? You may be one of the few to keep it going.

    Why is that so rare? Because many resolutions are made as a cultural custom; it’s simply what we do every year at this time. For the majority, the custom of breaking our resolution is as much a part of tradition as making it.

    In our hearts, we expect it to happen. But must it?

    How to Keep Your Resolution Going Strong
