Hypnotherapy

So many of you know that around this time 2 years ago I hit rock bottom. And I don't mean the kind that "oh look there's Lisa stuck under that little 'ole rock over there..." No, I mean the kind where a meteor traveling 100,000 miles per hour hits you and plummets you deep within the earth's crust (more on that later). So my family (thank god for them!) bugged me about getting "help". I used my work insurance and of course Kaiser's solution was to take a bunch of pills and well, that just didn't seem right for me... so funny story, I fly home for spring break 2 years ago and on a family walk (my mom and dad walk every night, cute I know) my dad says to me "so are you supposed to be on medicine or what?" So I made a pact with them that when I returned home I would go to an herbalist and see where that takes me. My first discovery, which was no surprise, was that I was addicted to sugar. So during our meeting (in which she asked me more questions about myself than any other doctors collectively have asked me in my entire life) the herbalist mentioned Rocky Mountain Hypnotherapy and she gave me a business card and told me how successful hypnotherapy has been for people she has recommended.
Two months later I was able to call and make an appointment for my first hypnotherapy session. During that session he helped guide me into a meditative state to give me an idea of how to access my sub-conscience mind. He also told me that many of his clients usually go for four sessions and there was a discount if I paid for four... well that was almost two years ago and miles from my meteor impact. I joke with my therapist that we need to go on Oprah because he has truly saved my life and not just in the physical sense, but by guiding me to reconnect with the world and to learn to enjoy every moment and to be happy to be alive. I am so grateful for spending the past 2 years learning how to be alive and now I get to head to Burma to meditate in Buddhist temples!
