Hypnosis & Wellness Training Center

International Instructor of the Year Ever since I was six years old, I had the desire to learn about hypnosis. I had heard other kids in the neighborhood talk about how a hypnotist can make you do all these things. Since I was the youngest child and I was always teased by older siblings, learning hypnosis sounded like a great idea. My thoughts were that maybe I could hypnotize them and make them do something. I realize now that my thoughts were incorrect; however, at six years old it really sounded inviting. It wasn't until I was 15 or 16 that I started looking for information about how to hypnotize. In the 1950s, it was difficult to find readily available information. I still have the old 78 record that I purchased. You have to turn it over in the middle of the induction to continue. I experimented with a friend, but when she started to relax and respond, I started to giggle because I was amazed that I could actually hypnotize someone. She was irritated at that, so I brought her out of the hypnotic state. We are still friends to this day and we still joke about the experience.
