The Hilarious Hypnotist
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE WHILE DRIVING!!!

EP 52: Snuffing it with Sandy - Part 1
The Hilarious Hypnotist
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...
info_outlineWhen Traci moved to Paradise Lakes Resort, she heard about a retired hypnotist living in her neighborhood. It took a few years, but their paths finally crossed. 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.
KEY POINTS:
-Dr. Gullo and Traci discuss how they met.
-Dr. Gullo shares how he went from a Doctorate in Psychology into the field of hypnosis.
-Dr. Gullo talks about REBT, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.
-Traci expresses her gratitude to be a Board Certified Medical medical hypnotist, and that she's honored to carry on his work.
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."
