Who will hypnotize me?

In addition, Terry has acquired extra certification in the advanced hypnotherapy system called 5-PATH™, and she is a certified 7th Path self-hypnosis teacher.

It was 20 years ago, in 1985 that Terry had her first experience with hypnosis. At that time, she was embarrassed because she had a shameful secret that no one knew about but her. She didn’t eat much during the day, but at night, when she was home alone, she would regularly overeat. Sometimes she would even wake up out of a sound sleep and almost sleep walk into the kitchen where she would eat whatever she could find. Today there are books on the subject (night eating), and even support groups, but back then she felt very alone and ashamed. So, she decided to try hypnosis. To her surprise (she had done this for many years on and off) and delight, after just one half hour session, she never did it again. She followed the hypnotist’s recommendation, and she returned for two short follow-up sessions. And, she listened to an audiotape on occasion. But to this day (twenty years later), she has not been a “night eater” ever since that first hypnosis session.

So, Terry learned firsthand, and at a very young age, that hypnosis worked.

She used it a few more times during those early years and then in 1995 she took her first class in hypnosis. At that point, she worked in the corporate world and she used it to help friends and family make changes in their lives. And, she also used hypnosis to help herself with a variety of issues including stress/anxiety, public speaking, fears, study concentration, and much more.

Then, a few years later during a big turning point in her life (she had quit the corporate world), Terry turned to hypnosis once again. This time, the hypnotist suggested that Terry would become very clear as to what her next step was on her path regarding her career. Terry was very excited about this, as she was unclear as to what to do next. She knew she wanted to help people and make a difference, but she didn’t know exactly how. After three sessions with this hypnotist, Terry found herself frantically searching for a hypnosis school. She actually called the hypnotist and asked, “Did you hypnotize me to be a hypnotist?” Of course, the answer was no. She just said that Terry would be very clear on what she should do next regarding her career. Terry already knew firsthand that hypnosis works, so she was thrilled. After all, what better way to help people than with something she had so much faith and experience in herself? She even wondered why she hadn’t thought of it (becoming a hypnotist) before.

Terry is very happy using hypnosis to help people make changes in their lives, and it shows. She feels like she has finally found her true calling.
