While at Hypnothoughts, the world's largest hypnosis conference where The Hilarious Hypnotist was presenting, another hypnotist came by and said "I'm going to refer someone to you...because you have some things in common." Sure enough, we did, and after chatting for a few minutes I knew I wanted Jeff on the podcast because he is afraid of flying, to the extent that it causes panic attacks. Jeff begins sharing his 22-year history of panic attacks, and The Hilarious Hypnotist begins to see a pattern unfolding. Over the years, the panic attacks seem to evolve and then resolve, only to attach themselves to something else. It started off with driving, then exercise, and now airplanes. Traci begins to examine what was going on behind the scenes in Jeff's personal life and begins to unravel a pattern between the panic attacks and control issues.
 
KEY POINTS:
  • Jeff shares his story about his first panic attack, and how he ended up in the hospital.
  • Jeff relates his story about his panic attacks related to exercise.
  • Jeff tells a horrendous story about his fear of flying, and how his last flight ended in disaster with his girlfriend getting sick on take-off.
  • Traci digs into what was happening around the same time these panic attacks rooted in his behavior and begins to notice a pattern of losing control in his personal life.
QUOTABLES:
"People are predictable in some way, shape, or form."
"Panic attacks are a way for someone to keep themselves safe; they feel threatened in some way."
" I do not like to be not in control. And I don't like to feel like you are controlling me."
"You are there for those you love no matter what."
"I want my ribs back!"
