A few weeks after her October 2022 session, Amy told Traci that she had been stockpiling her meds and had planned to overdose when her dog Sweet Pea passed. She got so much out of her session with Traci, that Amy ended up throwing out her medications. She used Traci's techniques to "dial down" her fibromyalgia pains and began enjoying life. Now, it's April of 2024, and Amy's dog "Sweet Pea" is winding down. Amy has been struggling with weed and liquor and finally got herself into a 12-step program 2 months before this session. She's very concerned that when Sweet Pea does pass, she'll be tempted to start drinking and doing weed again, and she wants to make sure she stays clean.

DESCRIPTION: The conclusion of Ninalynn's session with The Hilarious Hypnotist. Ninalynn makes several stunning realizations not only about her past but regarding her family members as well. She realizes that her uncle was not only grooming her but other family members as well in order to protect his dirty secrets. Ninalynn realizes that she's likely played out the scenarios in her head more than they've actually happened. The family member who controlled her has passed, so it's okay for her to let it go. She admitted that this family member snuck past her in a weak moment and continued his pattern. She still felt guilty about that, but found some peace that the situation could have been much worse.

DESCRIPTION: The Hilarious Hypnotist's friend, Ninalynn, has experienced a series of horrible events. In September of 2022, she unexpectedly lost her son-in-law due to a massive heart attack. He left behind a daughter (Ninalynn's granddaughter). A few months later, Ninalynn had to testify that custody of her granddaughter should be given to her son-in-law's parents instead of her daughter, because her daughter married a child molester. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis this past November. A month later, she was told she had kidney cancer, only to find out she was mis-diagnosed and had extreme calcification on her kidneys instead. As Traci digs into Ninalynn's past, she discovers that Ninalynn is experiencing heightened stress thanks to a molester in her past. In this episode, Ninalynn reveals many details about her molester while Traci quickly works to dissolve the pain, guilt, and shame surrounding her circumstances.

QUOTABLES: "I should have been strong enough to be able to say something to anybody, and know that other people in the family saw something, but I wasn't too sure. "At that time, I started hating myself because I was accepting his molesting. I was going to him and saying "Hey, I want to go out drinking tonight. Buy me some alcohol and I'll trade. I was 16." "What have I done to deserve this? Why is God punishing me?"

Dr. Gullo reached out and started giving Traci some articles he had written about hypnosis. Traci gave him a few recordings of her HAHA sessions. They realized within a few weeks that although their practices were different, they had a very similar approach to working with clients in hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Dr. Gullo began sharing his scripts with Traci, and in December made her a Board Certified Medical Hypnotist with Advanced Medical Hypnosis. Please enjoy this interview with Traci's mentor, neighbor, and friend, Dr John M Gullo.

QUOTABLES: "I listened to one of your recordings and began analyzing it while I was listening to it. I noticed you used a lot of deepeners, and then I woke up 40 minutes later thinking "What the fuck just happened?" "And he sent me some information, some articles that Dr. Albert Ellis, who is the inventor of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy back in 1955, was the first paper that he wrote on that." "Because people who smoke and have weight issues, they got stress issues as well, which is really the basis for the smoking and the weight to come about in your life to begin with."

The Hilarious Hypnotist (Traci) HATES unfinished business! When Jeff ran out of time, Traci had to finish up his session! After going through several times in Jeff's life where he experienced panic attacks, we finally get the panic attacks he experienced when he was flying. When a client reaches out to Traci, the problem they're calling about is usually never "the problem." The "problem" is the outward expression of something else going on inside, and Traci knew Jeff had made an emotional link to flying. Now...how to correct it? Jeff was slightly unwilling to imagine the scenarios Traci was using to test his progress, but somehow they made it through. While we ended this episode knowing Jeff may have to do an additional work, some progress was made! KEY POINTS: - Jeff and Traci go back and forth with where he's at with flying. - Traci keeps testing her work by asking Jeff to imagine he's getting ready to board a plane. - Jeff, being a very literal person, is a little reluctant to "imagine" the scenarios Traci is asking. -The unconscious mind doesn't know the difference between an actual or imagined situation, so it's safe to test the work without actually having to be at the airport or in an airplane. -Jeff feels some relief, and although both Traci and Jeff acknowledge that more work may need to be done in the future. QUOTABLES: "Every time I've experienced a major change in my life, my brain usually went haywire." "My head just went to a really odd space." "My brain went to, like, something under the bed in my childhood bedroom, like you know, kind of like the boogie monster under the bed in my childhood bedroom." "I've met with other therapists or doing other like meditation, it's like positive imagery and psycho pictures of walking with your dog on the beach. And then all of a sudden, I see like, a tidal wave. And, you know, that's like the, the catastrophe that I'm talking about."
