Why I've Made it My Business to Help You Stop Smoking!
28 Years ago I went to one of those “Stop Smoking Seminars”, you know the $49.99 “Hilton Hypnotist”. It was packed with over a 100 people wanting to quit! Everyone was a bit nervous, skeptical and wondering who was going to be the first one to quack like a duck!
Everyone took their seats, and soon he assured us that no one would be quacking like a duck, or acting like a chicken, not even barking like a dog! He talked and talked and talked, about things like: “You can’t be controlled by the hypnotist”, “You can’t ‘get stuck in hypnosis’”, “You won’t blurt out any secrets” (My wife was happy about that), “You are not asleep or unconscious”, and “You’ll hear and be aware of everything”. My wife was bored and almost asleep, while I was flabbergasted! You mean to tell me, the people on “Gilligan’s Island” and “The Dukes of Hazard” LIED to me!!! About Hypnosis!
Then we moved on to the hypnosis part of the evening, which was really rather simple; just close your eyes and listen carefully. I couldn’t believe it, and in my wife’s words “I wasn’t too dumb and she, the ‘super genius’ were both able to be hypnotized”. For me, it was very relaxing. My wife said that it was for her also, but that it felt like she was just light and floating. I was amazed because I felt very heavy, almost too heavy to move. I heard others saying it was different for them also. Some said they felt all tingly, while some others said they felt very warm, and still others only felt an inward calm. The experience seemed to be different for each person.
Amazingly, it worked!
My wife and I are now non-smokers! It was a little easier for me than for her, but we did it! But the thing that bothered me was that if I were to falter, where could I find the guy who guaranteed the hypnosis would work? Answer: Rhode Island! But he was just here, in Oregon! That’s when I read the small print! I could come back and be hypnotized if I had any problems, effective for 1 year! Come back? Where? Rhode Island? As I would soon discover, he would be back in the area in about 2 years! Go figure!
Here are a couple of things I discovered while researching “The Hilton Hypnotist”
Rarely do they come back to town anywhere near the 1 year guarantee time frame. (Not such a great guarantee) (Studies show guarantees are a setup for failure, when clients know it cost them nothing to fail… they will fail) · Although he hypnotizes anywhere from 100 to 200 people at a time, he has a 60 to 65% success rate. Wow, that’s really good! (Chantix claims a 44% success rate, minus the 18% placebo effect = 26% success rate). · I also found that the success rate goes up, the smaller the group! Some university studies show as high as 97%.
I also discovered I was hooked on hypnosis! I had to learn everything I could about it and I have been helping people ever since. So how does My company, “The Hypnosis Place” differ from the “Hilton Hypnotist”:
Your session with is all about you, and sometimes that may include a small group of your friends. Working with SMALL groups of friends (10 or less) I am able to focus on each individual, and help each person succeed.
Built into each session is an explanation of how each client can listen to a specially designed recording made just for my clients that returns them to the state of hypnosis within seconds, and that relieves any smoking related stress quickly and reinforces being a non smoker.
