As we dig deeper into Terri's despair concerning the election results, Traci focuses on the importance of practicing happiness. She shows Terri her happiness journal, and shares the 5 tabs: happy memories, affirmations, goals, gratitude, and inspirational quotes. At one point, Terri's inner voice tells her to give up and quit because she's never going to do it. At this point, Terri makes a huge, emotional breakthrough...and connects some of her behaviors to her mother. By the end of the session, Terri vows to not live life like her mother, and finds herself much less "triggered" by Donald Trump than when she arrived. KEY POINTS: - Traci shares her happy journal with Terri. -Traci shares several stories about other clients who have had similar issues. -Terri makes the connection that her negativity comes from her mother. -As Traci "tests" Terri, she finds she's becoming less triggered by "Trump" mentions. -Traci reminds Terri that her mother is "squatting" in her mind, and it's time to evict her.

After the election results were posted and Donald Trump was declared the winner, Terri, like millions of people who supported Kamala Harris, became despondent, depressed, and disillusioned. She called up her friend Traci, The Hilarious Hypnotist, and requested a session in hopes of not only helping herself get through the disappointment, but to also help others find peace in very uncertain times. Traci has worked with several clients on both sides of the political spectrum and knows that when someone vehemently hates a political candidate, it's because that candidate emulates the same mannerisms and behaviors as someone from their past. A few targeted questions, and Terri revealed a story about her ex-husband and Traci was able to connect the dots. Traci also touches on how the media and politics use "The Dark Arts of Hypnosis" to persuade their viewers to believe their narrative. KEY POINTS: - Terri shares the difficulties she's had in dealing with the election results. - Terri wishes she could go back to a time when politics didn't matter to her because she never paid attention. - Terri shares the story how her ex-husband literally kicked her to the curb, leaving her with nothing. -Terri shares some details about her personal life, and how she gets her news from "comedy" sources like The View, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert. -Terri admits she has trouble finding joy, despite having a great husband, a beautiful house, and has everything she could ever want. QUOTABLES :

• I think I've always considered myself to be an impact that I feel other people's emotions, and so I just feel like I'm feeling everybody's fear.

• I wish I could go back to when I didn't watch the news, wasn't involved in politics, and none of it mattered. I I've always held the belief for years and years that didn't matter who the president is, I decide my economics, I decide my money. I decide how my life is going to be, and whoever's President really doesn't affect me. And so I never voted. I never paid attention.

• Typically, when people have a strong hate towards someone that they've technically never met, it's a reminder of someone in their past that hurt them just wearing another pair of shoes.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WHILE DRIVING!!! The Hilarity and Hypnosis Approach uses humor to kill the triggers, but since this is Skylar's third session, enough triggers have been addressed that it's time to start using HYPNOSIS to build up the behaviors that Skylar wants for herself. Using characteristics from her role models, The Hilarious Hypnotist Traci begins creating a recording she can listen to every night. She also does a mini-regression, taking Skylar back to the pre-teen who had all of her things taken away, and letting her know she's going to get all those things back and more sometime in the future.

Skylar visualizes a room with red and white sheets of paper, symbolizing past hurtful words and positive affirmations. They metaphorically tear up the red sheets and dispose of them, symbolizing letting go of past traumas. Skylar then fills the room with white sheets, representing positive characteristics and accomplishments. They also address specific past traumas, such as being bullied and losing a dog. The session concludes with Skylar feeling lighter and more at peace, having processed and released past hurt.

Sandy reveals more details behind the trigger of being around emotional women. Each round she feels better and better.

QUOTABLES (2 quotes): "Perfect. We're going to leave it right there for now. But what I want you to do is take a little bit, just a little bit of the red-orange schmutz, okay? And hold it in your hands. And as you hold it in your hands, you're going to feel it move a certain way. Okay, one way is going to feel like more grief and betrayal. But the other way is going to feel more like love self-worth, confidence." "Oh, what the fuck is this happiness? I don't know. But does it feel better than what you had? Yeah." "Is it different? Yeah. A little bit different. So go ahead now and imagine independent state being every day from here forward. And that you can be around anybody who's emotional.

Traci spoke at a Naturist Women's Rendezvous a few weeks ago and met Sandy. Traci's hypno senses lit up, and sensed there was a LOT more to Sandy than appeared and sure enough she was right. She invited Sandy to be on the podcast, and Sandy graciously accepted. Sandy, like many of Traci's clients, had a turbulent and unstable childhood. While they're "functioning" as adults, they have some triggers that just seem to keep getting in the way of their happiness. One of Sandy's triggers is being around emotional women, which she acquired from numerous incidents with her mother. While we start with a list of sex-emotional triggers, this one has a lot of juice so the entire session was focused on this one trigger.

"You know, we all keep our issues in our body. Some people keep it in their sinuses. I keep that stuff on my sinuses too. When I'm letting go of stuff, it's all about the number of tissues."

Often times when my clients start working with me, the Universe picks up on it and the waves of change ripple out and come back in unexpected ways. In the three weeks since Sandy's first visit, her boyfriend of 4 years broke up with her, she had to find a new place to live, and she discovered her grandkids (that she's not allowed to see) found their way from Guatemala to Florida. As we go through Sandy's life, the patterns of abandonment, betrayal, and lack of control emerge. Now that Sandy's being forced to change her life, The Hilarious Hypnotist coaches her into thinking about what she needs to do to live her best life.

QUOTABLES: "It's awful because people take the rejection personally, but the truth is that everybody's the star in their own movie." "You want someone who is sober, a nonsmoker, kind of thoughtful. Someone who can communicate. A foodie that lives within a 30 minute drive that appreciates the nudist lifestyle." "I also want someone who is sexually adventurous, financially stable, family-oriented and loves music."

The exciting conclusion of Sandy's session. In the second half, Traci continues to piece together Sandy's life, eventually becoming the caregiver to the step father that abused her. Traci continues to break the bad trances by having Sandy re-imagine her stepfather with various props and silliness so Sandy can't possibly see her stepfather in the same way ever again. Sandy brings up other memories, and one by one, Traci helps her get rid of them using a variety of techniques. Traci winds down the session with some self-soothing techniques, which she shows her clients so they can care for themselves in between sessions. KEY POINTS: - Traci points out that people only remember maybe like 10% of the details accurately. They make up the other 90%. So if you can only accurately remember 10% of what happened and you're making up the other 90%, make it good! -Sandy continues to connect the dots between her life and her medical conditions. Recognizing the patterns is the key to taking your power back. -Traci continues to break Sandy's bad trances with song parodies from Barbra Streisand and musicals. -Sandy agrees to come back for a follow-up. QUOTABLES (2 quotes): "Good. I like how you put the karma police in there. Didn't even teach that to you yet. Awesome. "You were the only kid with divorced parents. You saw your dad every other weekend and you missed some things because you were with your dad. What did you miss? "I don't know. I think that's probably why I am the way I am. And there's really nothing I can do about it. But you know, the fact that I connected these dots in all these years that's one thing I didn't connect the dots. "We all learn at our own pace. Yes, we all learn at our own pace. I recognize my power now."
