I have other stories about my self-hypnosis experiments: the wisdom tooth extractions and the recordings aimed at improving my net game in tennis. But I thought I would digress and tell you other people's stories. One of the funniest is about a student I saw who was very distressed about some aspect of his sexuality/sexual
Sorry folks, been a while. Computer wouldn't allow me to enter my own website. I affectionately call it Hal, and it reminds me of a horse I used to ride when I was young: as soon as I mounted it would walk under the bough of a tree just high enough above the saddle to
I decided to allow the first Anecdote to sink in, and to regale you with the self hypnosis experiments I carried out on myself. The first one, of course, was the Smoking Cessation recording. You will recall that I hypnotised the current editor of the U.T.,S. student newspaper Newswit, and because the tape fouled up

They turned right off the Pacific Highway and I later guessed they went into bushland somewhere near Brooklyn. They parked the car in a clearing in the middle of the bush, and continued with their salacious discourse. I was in between two men on one side and one on the other side in the back
When I was 17 years of age I worked at The Land Newspaper as the secretary to the Managing Editor. I had not been there very long when the Queen Bee, the Editor of the Children's Page, retired and went to live in Tasmania. I was given the job of answering the Buzzers letters, finding
I continued working at U.T.,S for 26 years, then worked for an employee assistance program for 16 years and began a parallel private practice in 2005, all the while using hypnosis as my main psychological technique.
