Golf Performance

Weight loss… it must really be new behavior!
Individuals come to see me to overcome addictions, alcoholism, anger, anxiety, confidence, Crohn’s Disease and IBS, marriage counseling, PTSD, sales, career and sports performance, sleep disorders, and the list goes on – but an incredibly large percentage of them come for permanent weight loss.

“No One Performs Better When They’re Tense or Stressed”
When an individual is relaxed, focused and confident, they’ll always perform at a higher level than if they’re stressed, worried and un-confident. Many think one has to be wired in order to perform better. Not true. Think about it. If a bugler plays taps at an event and is stressed, the chance of missing a

What Makes a Bad Parent partII
The helicopter mom was made to do things as a child, what she didn’t want to do. Their attitude as an adult is “I’ll make sure that my child won’t have to face and experience the challenges that I had to face when I was a child.” That approach is diametrically opposed to healthy parenting.

What Makes a Bad Parent?
Is it possible that parents could be enabling certain harmful or even destructive behaviors in their offspring? They will say, “I never meant to make them that way.” “I’ve always tried to make my children happy and give them what they wanted.” In many cases, those things were the things that the parents couldn’t and

These Trying Times
People come into come into my office complaining about “these trying times”. I think that they must hear that from television.

Hypnosis… the ultimate tranquilizer!
Hypnosis is non harmful. It’s non addictive. There is no danger of overdose. There are no adverse side effects.

Ever feel anxious, but don’t know why?

Zero Tolerance – A requirement of permanent weight loss.
We hear a lot today about “Zero Tolerance”. Frankly some of it makes no sense. A six year old boy either comes to school with a 1 ¼ inch plastic toy gun on a key chain or draws a picture of a gun and he is expelled from school. That doesn’t slightly approach common sense.

Hypnosis is not something that’s done to you…
Regardless of the stage hypnosis shows that you’ve attended or seen on TV, hypnosis is not something that someone does to someone. Hypnosis is a dissociative state that one freely enters. One can’t be hypnotized against one’s will, nor can one be hypnotized into doing something that one does not want to do. Period. No

A weight loss diet that doesn’t utilize behavioral change, is doomed to fail!
Many that want to lose their excess weight, think that they can lose it without making behavioral change. Wrong! Since their old behavior allowed them to become heavy, they must make permanent behavioral change or they’ll continue to regain and to be overweight.
