How Hypnosis Could Have Saved Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Life

Posted on February 3, 2014 by Dr. Errol Gluck

As a lover of film I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman. He was a genius actor capable of immense depth. But he also had a highly addictive personality that, as a hypnotist for 35 years, I could see from a mile away.

According to various news sources Hoffman quit his drug addiction back in his early 20s, and only recently relapsed in 2013. For genetic and environmental reasons he couldn’t escape drugs.

Human brain glowing lateral view Details matter. Yet we lose them every day, and not every detail carries the same weight as the other. One lost item can mean the collapse of a larger picture.

Whether it’s forgetting a crucial ingredient to a beloved recipe, forgetting the reasons you make certain high-risk business decisions, forgetting what street you’re on, or where you were going…hypnosis can improve memory loss greatly, no matter what age you are… Curious about how?

What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?

In terms of describing what hypnosis feels like, I often like to compare it to guided meditation. The patient lays down on my recliner, closes his/her eyes, and is instructed to breathe deeply and consistently.

As I begin the induction in my soft and solid voice, you will begin to imagine what I’m saying. With each breath you take and each prompt I give your imagination, you will relax deeper and deeper. Your conscious mind will no longer be so prevalent, but on the other hand, you will not be falling asleep or becoming unconscious in any way.

After 20 minutes of the post-hypnotic suggestions, which are always tailored to the individual and created by me during our first session together, you will slowly come out of the trance-like state. You will not leave feeling dizzy, sleepy, or weakened in any way, but you will feel relaxed. And most importantly, you’ll notice that the problem you came to me for is gone.

A woman being hypnotized If you’ve read any of my blogs for the last 3 years, you’ll know that I spend a considerable amount of time demystifying hypnosis.

Hypnosis is not entertainment, it’s not mind-control, and it’s not hocus-pocus.But there’s another issue underneath that question that I’d like to address right here: is hypnosis dangerous?
