  • EP 16: Yvonne: Sitting At The "Adult" Table | Part 2

    Yvonne is many things - a patient care tech, roller skater, hula hooper, and "hasher" (i.e. a drinker with a running problem). Coming in for her 4th visit, Yvonne shares why she is so intimidated by her more successful friends and consistently finds herself stuck in a loop of struggle. So much so that she feels she belongs at the "kid's table."

    Tune in as your Hilarious Hypnotist continues to break Yvonne's bad trances with dirty song lyrics and her own experience embracing the flow and adventures in life. Find out how Yvonne feels about finally sitting at the "adult table" in the conclusion of this two-part series where even Traci learns something new!

    KEY POINTS:

    - Allowing yourself to feel excitement for the future

    - "No more setbacks. I only have set jacks."

    - How to embrace the flow of your life

    - Building bridges away from struggle and toward love

    - Sexuality is a journey, not a destination

    QUOTABLES:

    "Embrace your flow. And think of the progression of jobs that you had and how one thing led to the next. And instead of thinking that I'm not settled, think of yourself as constantly climbing. And you need each one of those things to get you to the next level."

    "I don't have to have the best manners, but I belong at the adult table."

    "You walk into a group of your peers, and I wish there was a kid's table. Because mentally, I am one of these people, even my own friends, I have never felt like I've grown past the kid's table. Not that there's anything wrong with the kid's table. The kid's table has more fun. They've got crayons, and they've got glitter and glue."

    "Every time I move forward in my life, something pulls me back."

    In this episode, you don't just get one hilarious hypnotist, but two as Traci welcomes long-time mentor Dr. Will Horton!

    Connecting with Traci early in her career as a performer himself, much of Traci's NLP knowledge came from his training, along with the inspiration to learn stage hypnosis after a health scare. Dr. Will also uses humor not only as a hypnotist but as a trainer for hypnotists as well.

    So tune in for some hypnotic horror and mind f*ckery, the 5 steps for creating a cult, what it's like playing a serial killer in a horror trilogy, and enjoy this fun "all over the place" conversation with 35+ year NLP veteran and hypnosis trainer Dr. Will Horton.

    - When did Dr. Will Horton first get into hypnosis?

    - How Dr. Will Horton inspired Traci to use humor in hypnosis

    - What is NLP?

    - Can therapy actually make trauma worse?

    - A hypnotist's perspective on the COVID crisis

    - Hypnotic writing and marketing

    QUOTABLES:

    "The funny parts rewrite it for you. And that's what comedy can do. And so many times, especially in clinical psych, people think that therapy has got to be serious."

    "NLP is not a tool. It's the toolbox."

  • EP 11: The Magical Healing Powers of Hypnosis...and Fart Sounds with Robert Gene Smith

    The Hilarious Hypnotist accidentally attended a class by Robert Gene Smith in 2020 and saw a video of him using a fart sound app to help one of his clients break a memory about being raped. It was quick, it was effective, and it was funny! And Traci was hooked!

    Inspired by how Robert used humor to create lasting changes, Traci began incorporating many of his techniques into her own work. And in this episode, she welcomes Robert to share his story about his path to hypnosis and what led him to develop a series of techniques called Faster EFT - combining Neuro Linguistic Programming and Tapping for turbo-charged changes in his clients.

    KEY POINTS:

    - Robert Gene Smith's history through hypnosis

    - Why logic alone cannot solve your emotional problems

    - "The most important thing is the mechanics of the mind"

    - Collapsing difficult memories with laughter

    - Memories don't die - they just show up in different shoes

    - How to release pain and update your brain's programming

    QUOTABLES:

    "The smartest part about you is not your consciousness. And if you're not aware and intelligent enough to understand how to drive the smart part, which is your limbic operating system, which is your unconscious, it will make you do weird stuff."

    "The problem is, life is always changing without your permission. Those who live the longest, those who are the happiest, are the most resilient. They figured out how to process this information to move forward."

About The Hilarious Hypnotist

From the publisher's feed

Welcome to the hilarious hypnotist Podcast. I'm Traci Kanaan, your hostess of hypnosis, and I'm a certified hypnotist and hypnotherapist and a former internationally touring comedian. For years I've been using hypnosis to help my clients become the next best version of themselves. One day, I started combining my hypnosis with the skills I learned performing stand-up comedy, and BOOM, I was breaking the traumas that kept disempowering my clients with lightning speed.
