I am very impressed with a young teen I began working with recently. She had been unable to order at restaurants, fast food places, and in other situations where attention was drawn to herself. After just one session of hypnotherapy, she had no difficulty. In fact, it came so naturally that she didn’t even realize she had ordered her food until her mother said, “Did you know you just ordered?” and she replied. “Oh. Did I?” She’s a bright, creative young woman. I am pleased to be working with her.

Pre-surgery Hypnotherapy
I attended a conference last week that offered information new to me. Although I have been using hypnotherapy for 14 years, I had never connected it with surgery. At the conference I learned that my clients who come for hypnotherapy prior to surgery are likely to have less pain, require less pain medication, and heal faster. I plan to implement this immediately. I will post the results later.
An Inspiring Woman
I met Dianne Drake five years ago at a writers’ workshop when I was just beginning to test the waters of getting creative writing published. She was very encouraging regarding my partially-completed manuscript, but it was her example that was most inspiring. She had written over thirty romance novels for publishers such as Harlequin, and is a best-selling medical romance writer in Europe. When I caught up with her again this past July, She was completing manuscripts for her 48th, 49th, and 50th novels–all of them already sold.
I don’t know when Dianne became disabled. She has been wheel-chair bound since I have known her. But her spirit and optimism are contagious. I wish every one of my clients who has a chronic illness could meet her and realize how much they have yet to offer the world.
Dianne had been a nurse in an earlier career, which gives her the inside scoop to tell convincing stories set in hospitals or with medical issues as a part of the plot.
