Intending to Let Go of Expectation
Many words in English can be interpreted in many ways. A client I’ll call Jasmine had been working on her Instagram content for a while.

The Fountainhead of My Inspiration
On the surface level of the storyline, it is a book about how an artist, an architect, chose to stay true to his art and his work, no matter how hard it could get and how many shortcuts were offered. On a deeper level, it was quite philosophical. The author, Ayn Rand, was considered a…

Saving Her from Drowning
A new client today asked me, before leaving the office, “Do you always use the same words in your sessions?” After seeing a puzzled look on my face, he explained, “I mean, you used the word God a few times in our session.” As far as I could recall, I said the word God because…

I Eat Vegetables. I’m Not a Vegetarian
Kathy told me that she just left another job–or, more accurately, was let go by another employer. As I listened to her talk of her problems, her words came out as fast as her footsteps. I asked her, trying to slow her down, “What would you like to work on through hypnotherapy?”
