Dr. Errol Gluck was recently interviewed by Tara McGillicuddy on BlogTalkRadio and spoke about how someone with ADD/ADHD can be helped with hypnosis.

On your mark, get set, lose! For residents of the state of Kansas, their Governor Sam Brownback has an interesting proposition for them. Brownback says,
“My hope is that the Governor’s Weight Loss Challenge will encourage everyone to work together to make our state healthier,” said the governor in an official press release. “I am challenging teams of five people to compete against my team of five to lose the most percentage weight, with the ultimate goal of taking on and maintaining a healthier lifestyle for years to come.”
Now that the title has got you reading, I want to talk about a facet of hypnosis that is often under-discussed.
There is a very slim portion of people who view hypnosis as a sexual fetish. Often under the faulty premise of hypnosis as mind-control (which I emphatically say here that it is not), hypnosis is used by fetishists as a mental parallel to physical BDSM. In much the same way bondage is physical control, recreational hypnosis can be used as a form of play mind control.
A lot of married people who come to me for couple’s therapy are in a very ambiguous position: they are undecided as to whether they should try to fight for the marriage or if it would be more wise to divorce and start to improve their lives separately.
I have no bias towards one solution over the other. You can notice a mediator has a slight tinge of a bias toward maintaining marriage even if the two people in front of them are quite content on separating. As a mediator, I have no bias towards the sanctity of marriage or the adventure of a post-divorce life.
But let’s go back for a second. Notice what I just said. A lot of couples are undecided if they should try to fight for the relationship or not. What does that mean? It means that a lot of people come to me knowing a lot more about what they’re capable of accomplishing than they think.
Some people have the mentality that asking for help is giving up, or makes them less masculine, less independent, etc.
Whatever the case may be I want you to know that sometimes asking someone for a little helping hand is the best thing you can do.
