Karim Boktor is a master hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner and TEDx Speaker. We talk about how to identify blind spots in our subconscious mind to stop the sabotage that holds us back from getting to the next level. Karim has a remarkable personal journey - his family fled violence and war, he had a stutter when he spoke and he was badly bullied. He says to overcome his stutter, he first had to overcome what he calls his inner stutter. He’s developed the Boktor Method, which combines mental reprogramming techniques to break through inner barriers. With his hypnotherapy you won’t be clucking like a chicken but after you’re cleared, you may be clucking with joy!
