The Power of a Single Comment
Have you seen the story of Brian Flemming, the man in Michigan who weighed 600+ pounds and lost 380 pounds? He had almost a lifetime of being overweight and eating very unhealthily, never exercising, drinking a fifth of vodka a day, and sitting around pitying and loathing himself and his life. In the Spring of […]
Hypnosis for Hot Flashes
The bane of many women as they enter and pass menopause is the onset of hot flashes.

Why We Are Who We Are
When I blog at www.skipnotherapy.com, I don’t often link to other websites, especially with my own wife’s blog (the appearance of nepotism and all that!), but today is different. Barb (my wife) an author and active blogger at theemptynestmom.com posted about an article which appeared in Esquire magazine this month. The article asked fifty “extraordinary […]
Hypnosis – Want Evidence It Works?
To me, as a hypnotherapist in Salem, Oregon, it seems as if the acceptance of hypnosis is about where chiropractic was in the 1950s, or acupuncture in the 1960s – people just are not on board with it as a legitimate modality to help people with chronic pain, lose weight, eradicate fears, improve performance of […]
Hypnotherapy vs. Hypnoshow

Speak Confidently
Depending upon the source of the information, research indicates the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Believe it or not (and most of you probably believe it!) 74% […]
Stress = Depression = Suicide
Everyone was shocked by the news of Robin Williams’ suicide. What would make a guy who seemingly had everything a person could want do something so tragic? He had money, fame, a loving family, loads of friends – everything! And yet, to him, his life was so horrible he couldn’t bear to live it any […]
