Virtual Hypnosis

My name is Michael Conrad. I'm a psychologist since 1978 and a medical hypnotist since 2000 with additional studies in neuroscience, physiology and nutrition. Now offering virtual hypnosis sessions, first one free, thereafter $100 per session, using MEET which is already on Android phones, or whichever video platform you prefer. 

I also offer texting, emailing, or phone calling me whenever you have issues you would like to talk about, for a full 31 days, for only $100 a month. And again, the first day is free. This is any hour, day or night, as long as I'm awake and not with another client, I will respond. This is for therapy only, not for hypnosis which is better suited virtually.

The mind controls the body. If it is your mind that is making you feel physically sick or mentally unbalanced, then it is your mind that can make you healthy again. And when your willpower isn't working effectively, then hypnosis will help. However, don't expect years of what you're going through to disappear in one session. Several sessions may be necessary. There is no such thing as a one visit cure just as there is no such thing as one pill from a bottle of pills is all you need.

My hypnosis sessions can lessen and even eliminate symptoms such as ptsd, depression, stress, anxiety, and personal as well as professional exhaustion and burnout. Hypnosis sessions are also very effective in eliminating a dependency for nicotine, alcohol, illegal drugs and pain meds like opioids without experiencing withdrawal pains.

What exactly is hypnosis? The word hypnosis was originally created to describe the process you put yourself through in order to fall asleep, named after the Greek god Hypnos, the god of sleep. It's lying in bed and letting go of all the thoughts and stresses of the day, eventually limiting your thoughts to how warm the blanket feels around you or how soft the pillow feels beneath your head, and without even realizing it, you drift off to sleep. 

Hypnosis is actually called mesmerism. You are mesmerized when you can focus your attention on something to the point where you are oblivious to everything else going on around you. It's also called tunnel vision. Named after Franz Mesmer, the creator of the mesmerizing techniques everyone has mislabeled as hypnosis.

Franz Mesmer's theory is this. By focusing your eyes on an object (visual tunnel vision) while focusing your hearing on the sound of someone's voice (audible tunnel vision), the more mesmerized you become, at which point a part of your mind becomes willing to accept suggestions, but only if they're coming from someone you trust and if you were leaning in the direction of those particular suggestions in the first place. Think of a hypnotist/mesmerist as a motivator who helps you stay on a path that you've already taken.

The confusion all began in 1843 when James Braid noticed that when clients had created tunnel vision and were mesmerized, that they exhibited the same sleepy "look" that one had when going to sleep. So he changed the word from mesmerized, which is the "focused" look, to hypnotized, which is the "sleepy" look. But he eventually saw his mistake, that they weren't sleepy at all, so he tried to change the word back to mesmerized, but by then the word hypnotized became so popular, thanks to movies, that he gave up trying.

Knowing this, here is what to expect. Your hypnotist, or mesmerist, will ask you to focus your eyes on a particular object (visual tunnel vision) while focusing your hearing on only the sound of his voice (audible tunnel vision). If you have followed instructions, then your eyes will appear blurry, out of focus, distant. This is a hypnotic state of mind, or more precisely, a mesmerized state of mind. He will then give you suggestions that you are willing to accept in order to experience change for the better.
