Caitlyn is Happy, That’s All That Matters.

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Dr. Errol Gluck

When I was thirteen, I took my first job developing x-rays at a local hospital. It was then that I came across an x-ray of a baby that was born with both male and female sexual parts. The child’s parents were told to make a decision, evidently choosing the fate of their child’s future. Thereafter, I learned that one in every thirteen babies are born with signs of both genders.

Caitlyn, born Bruce Jenner, is the ultimate Olympian and champion. She was a hero then and is a greater heroine today. We are all born into bodies that belong to us – not to the world. We are all born to be uniquely different – not obliged to conform to who the world tells us to be. We are all entitled to our own form of happiness regardless of whether or not the world shares or understands it.

You need to be who you are.

Let me reiterate: you need to be you are really are. You will never be happy being someone else because you will never be good at being someone else as good as you could be being yourself.

I sit here genuinely happy for Caitlyn, for having overcome her fear and for having been so brave in moving forward with her life. Welcome to your new chapter in life.

I’ve come across a gamut of clients in the past 38 years of working in this field of hypnotherapy, hypnosis, and life coaching and I must say that fear has got to be one of the more extreme life debilitating issues people face. Fear of what the world thinks, fear of judgement, fear of acceptance and fear of being honest about what you want and who you want to be keep people bottled up as they slowly suffocate themselves into misery.Reading and witnessing Caitlyn’s entrance into this world in this day and age is a breath of fresh air. For anyone who knows there’s something more for them out there but can’t quite grasp what and who that person is, come see me and we will meet him or her together. Let me tell you, there’s more of you to be found.

Best,
Dr. Gluck

Is Hypnosis Supported By Science

Posted on March 21, 2014 by Dr. Errol Gluck

Hello, my name is Dr. Errol Gluck. I’m an executive life coach and I’m a clinical hypnotist with thirty seven years of experience. The question that most people get confused when they think of hypnosis, they think of stage hypnosis, things that they’ve seen on TV or shows.

This is not what I do. Hypnosis now is a pure science based upon neuroplasticity, based upon the brain to actually rewire itself and form new pathways that create new thoughts and a different reaction to old experiences.

How Does Hypnosis Work?

Posted on February 7, 2014 by Dr. Errol Gluck

When people think of hypnosis, unfortunately they think of stage hypnosis. This is not what real hypnosis is about. Hypnosis is based upon neuroplasticity, which means that the brain can actually change the way in which it receives information when put into a certain state.

During the process of hypnosis there a simply three parts. One is deep relaxation. Two is a form of disorientation where you’re really hearing everything that I’m saying but you’re in a awake and yet semi sleeping state. And the third is where I put into your brain everything that we previously discussed.

You are always in control. You always know what’s being said, and it is always in agreement with what you and I agree on.

And best of all, it works. It forms new neuro-pathways to information, removing fear, anxiety, depression, promoting weight control, the list goes on.

The bottom line is hypnosis is a science. It’s not a magic trick, nor is it something that cannot be seen by medical science such as a PT scan. Try it. Change your life.

How Hypnosis and Neuroplasticity Work

Posted on January 16, 2014 by Dr. Errol Gluck

Clinical Hypnosis is grounded in the science of neuroplasticity. The concept is neither complex nor formulaic, but substantial and full of possibility, requiring great skill and patience to apply.

Simply for now, neuroplasticity means that the human brain can be changed by acting on the external elements of your life, such as your physical behavior and appearance, how you interact with others and control or respond to your environment.

My intention is to be your professional guide to productive, dynamic self-understanding – to help you know yourself, not merely for its own sake, but for the purpose of attaining both the confidence and the means to solve your problems.

In hypnosis, curiosity counts and won’t kill you! The more willing you are to be changed, the larger the chance that the therapy will work. Vital, too, is being communicative, making efforts to articulate your mind no matter how difficult talking can be. (Silence, of course, can suggest plenty. But why not express the suggestion you want to work with?) We could then spend less time defining and explaining the therapy, but in clarifying what you want to accomplish, determining your needs so that I can help you meet them. Although treatment usually takes 2-3 sessions, the effects are far from short-term. They influence and last your entire life, if you let them.

What Does an Hypnosis Session Look Like?

Posted on January 15, 2014 by Dr. Errol Gluck

Hypnotizing Watch One of the things most people are curious about when it comes to learning more about my practice and hypnosis in general is, “What does a hypnosis look like?”

People understand that it’s not mind control or silly media depictions of clucking like a chicken on command, but what people still yearn to understand is what they should anticipate in the 50 minutes in my office.

Hypnosis is not done on the first session. Any hypnotist who offers you hypnosis on the first session is not worth his/her salt. Why? Hypnosis is not a one-size-fits-all type of treatment. A hypnotist should tailor the treatment to the individual based on information provided to them for the treatment to be the most effective. The first session is devoted to laying the background so that when hypnosis starts on the second session, I can employ the most client-specific induction as possible.

When you’re getting hypnotized, you are reclined on a couch in my darkly-lit office so as to maximize your physical comfort. Your eyes will be closed and you will have taken any sips of water that you might need. I will walk you through what can compared to a guided meditation. I will suggest you imagine certain things in a calm voice, so as to re-associate your emotions and your behavior. It lasts about 20 minutes, and when you wake up, you won’t feel fundamentally different energetically. You are still alert and “you.” However, your subconscious has been tweaked for the better. The change is accumulative and permanent.

How Many Hypnosis Sessions Are Needed?

The session amounts to see me do vary depending on both the issue and the person. Here’s how it breaks down usually. These are just averages though, and I can assess how many sessions you’ll need after a 5 minute conversation. Remember to ask me and not my secretary! But here is how issues and the individuals usually influence session amounts.

Of course people who are more resistant to hypnosis will be here for a few more sessions than people who have been successfully hypnotized in the past. People who are seeing me for life-coaching and hypnosis, also should expect to be here longer than people who are looking to target a very specific issue. People who have one problem (i.e. smoking) will be here longer than people who have a web of interrelated problems (i.e., smoking caused by anxiety caused by repressed memories).

In terms of the issues themselves, I’ve noticed people who come to me for smoking, drugs and weight loss have fewer sessions than those who come to me for more neurologically embedded issues like depression, anxiety, stress and confidence. On the low end, hypnosis is a minimum of 2 sessions, and on the high end, 5 or 6 sessions. But please note that hypnosis in general is short term for all problems and people. Give my office a call today.
