Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's night side with Dan Ray on WBZ. He FoST
in his new radio.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
All right, it is WBZ I side with Dan Ray.
I'm Bradley Jay and for Dan tonight. And I don't
know about you, but I love getting hypnotized. Yeah you
know why because it helped me quit smoking, the best
thing that ever happened to me in my life. And
we're gonna go through that process. And I'm doing this
(00:31):
because I really want to help you and it was
so wonderful for me. I want to share it. And
we have an actual hypnotherapist with us, and he's gonna
let you know how the process goes, what it is,
what it isn't. But first let me tell you what
it did for me. Back in the eighties, I smoked.
(00:54):
Can you believe it? A lot of people smoked. I smoked,
and I couldn't quit. I tried to quit time and
time again. Just couldn't. For one thing. I don't have
any willpower at all anyway, But even for those who
have willpower, it's excruciatingly difficult. Tried and failed New Year's
(01:15):
Eve resolution lasted maybe twelve minutes, actually probably fewer than
twelve minutes, and I had almost given up. But when
I worked at rock station wbc N, a hypnotist hypnotherapist
was in the studio and actually worked on the prog.
(01:40):
I won't go into who he hypnotized, but I would
say it three or four people there for smoking and
they all quit, And so I said, well, I'm going
to try it. I have nothing to lose in one
day in a public building and in Brookline. Actually I
(02:02):
didn't live there at the time, but I heard about
it and I went there and this guy was This
guy was really something. He used to do hypnotherapy for
air traffic controllers to help them relax and to help
their focus and sports figures. He was like hypnotherapists to
this stars kind of. So I went in, didn't expect anything,
(02:29):
and when I came out, didn't feel any different. But
the thing is, I never had another cigarette ever, ever, ever, ever,
And my friends, here's the kicker. I never had a
craving at all, even a little never. Ever. Can you
imagine that if you're smoking right now, if you're a smoker,
(02:50):
you cannot imagine that's possible. It is possible. Also, I
had my significant other, Shannon go as well. She also
doesn't smoke, and there's there are a lot of other
ways that hypnosis can help. I don't even know them all,
but we're going to find out. We're going to get
(03:11):
a much bigger picture of what hypnosis can do, how
it works, maybe lay some of your concerns about it,
and I guess a good time to start right now.
Thank you for being with us, Glenn Raman, very very
happy to have you here.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh, it's a great way to start off the new year.
Excited to be here with you and share what I
love the most in life. And that's a great story
that you just shared. So that's a great way to
start us off. So you quit smoking just like that, right.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's right. And it wasn't this. There wasn't this drawn
out multi session thing. It was one session and then
you could come back for free or refresher, which I did.
And they also said don't drink anything for thirty days
because alcohol will degrade whatever it is that we instilled
in you. And I played by the rules and I've
(04:06):
been very happy ever since. So can you tell us first?
I guess the main question is how does it work?
How does hypnosis work?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, it's an ability that we all have people will
you know, I run ads all over the world. I
have an online community called the hypno Vault, and I
get so many questions that are that need to be
kind of debunked as to what it is. You know,
they say this hypnotherapy work, this hypnosis work. I'm like,
(04:38):
how do you think? Why do you think you're wearing
the clothes that you're wearing. Why do you think you
listen to the music that you like? Why did you
pick what you have eight for dinner tonight because you
were open to a suggestion. Hypnosis is suggestibility. We build
our entire lives on influence from others, you know, like
(05:00):
the music my sister's boyfriend shared with me when I
was young was the music that is still near and
dear to my heart because it was influenced. And we
get influenced by the world around us without even realizing
it when it comes to our habits or you know,
generally speaking, if mom and dad go to the gym
(05:22):
and they're a gym rat, mom and dad, well, the
kids will grow up with fitness. If mom and dad
have a very bad pattern of eating, the kids will
grow up Not always, of course, because we're influenced by
these patterns, and hypnosis is where we go into the
place where those patterns were formed. It's not about willpower,
(05:44):
it's about changing the patterns in our subconscious minds.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
So we're not just what is that place? What is that?
And if you I need that?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And when you say place I need like a physical
spot like subconscious mind, where is that?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It's basically a meditative state that we go into. Hypnosis
is the ability we all have, So everybody has kind
of you ever just stare at the wall and you
kind of shake your head like, WHOA, where did I
just go for a minute. You know, when we go
into that place, there are the literally alpha brain waves
are becoming predominant in our mind, which is where we
(06:24):
go when we meditate or we go into deep states
of focus, like if you sit down in your computer
to work for ten minutes and an hour goes by
and you think to yourself, where did that time go?
You were in a focused state of awareness. And hypnosis
is just a place I take you to. Different ways
(06:44):
I can take you there. I can do it very
dramatically like you'd see on the street where I do
entertainment hypnosis, or through a nice guided relaxation where it's
like close your eyes, let's go even deeper in half
and just to get you into that relaxed state of mind.
That's really all it is. I'm taking you into a
meditative state. And then we're using images in words to
(07:09):
create new patterns of thought in your mind.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, So there is an observable change in your brain patterns.
You could see it if you get hook if you
get hooked up during hypnosis, you see some nice out
a whole bunch of alpha waves.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And yeah, actually on my website there's photos of me
at the Peak Brain Institute where I did a QEED scan.
We did scan when I was in a wakeful state
that I put myself into a deep hypnotic meditative state.
They did another scan and you'll see the alpha brain
waves take over the entire screen. It's really neat to see.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay. And so that is a meditative state. And what
you do is just accelerate that process of getting into
the meditative state, yes, and introduce a suggestions in a
manner that have been proven to be most effective.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Now, some things people fear. You mentioned that there were
things that are unnecessarily feared about hypnosis? What are those
and why are they not something to worry about.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Because some people, you know, there's a belief that it's
mind control, and it's not mind control. You're aware the
entire time you're kind of daydreaming and nothing. If at
the core of who you are you don't agree with
the work that we're doing, it's not going to take.
So if your wife sends you to me to stop smoking,
(08:45):
but you really don't want to stop smoking, you're going
to reject the suggestions and the suggestive work.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So what about the people the entertainment hypnosis? You know,
like jump around like a chicken situation?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Is that the same thing? And if if I didn't
want to jump around like a chicken, could you make me?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
If you are highly suggestible, so when I do I've
done tons of entertainment shows, colleges, you name it everywhere
on YouTube. When you do a stage show and you
pull twenty people up on stage, inevitably you're going to
pull three or four or five people off because they're
either either got distracted or they're just not hyper suggestible
(09:31):
in that way.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
How do you know right away who's hyper suggestible?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You don't until you test them a little bit, okay,
little yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I know.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
There's little fun games that I do with your imagination
and they tell me how how your imagination works. How
and they're kind of me like, sometimes I'll have you
stick your arms out in front of you and imagine
there's a string of balloons to one hand and a
heavyweight on the other, and I'll see if you can
take that suggestion. And then I watch for eye movements.
(10:04):
Eye movements tell me everything if you go into rim,
which is a rapid eye movement state, or if I
see that you're struggling or blocking it. Because I think
what happens to us as we get older, we lose
the ability to play those imaginations we had as a kid.
And I have to take you back there. You know,
(10:27):
brain sciences call it neuroplasticity, that when we get older,
we get crusty hills a little bit in our thinking,
we get set in our ways, right, So I have
to kind of take you back to an earlier playful state,
And so I do. I do fun little games kind
of something where I'll like lock your fingers together, or
I'll have you see if you can taste a lemon
(10:49):
and I'll see if you can experience some of your imagination,
and that is what we use to kind of test
and to get people into the state.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's interesting because I think that I am pretty suggestible
because it worked on me so well. And when I
get in the relaxed state, I get so relaxed that
my arms go to sleep from the if they're on
the arm of a chair, they'll get the prickly feeling
from actually going to sleep. So I'm pretty suggestible, however,
and then a number of times that I've been, you know,
(11:25):
attempted to, someone's tried to. If I've been up on stage,
like you were talking about, and the balloons, that kind
of thing never works on me. Ever, Ever, you know, ever.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
It could be go ahead.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
It's most likely the environment. It's not. Some people are
very aware of the people in the audience, and because
of that, you get distracted. If it's one on one
and nobody's around and we're playing some of these suggestibility tests,
it's much easier in that fashion. But on a stage show,
(12:04):
you know, hypnotherapy is not meant for stage hypnosis. It's
just a byproduct that when some people go into a
meditative state, they become hyper suggestible. So if you're in
a meditative state and I say your body's feeling colder
and colder, you will feel like your body's actually getting
(12:26):
colder and colder because you're accepting that suggestion because you're
in that meditative state and your imagination is wide open.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Maybe, but I've that you're feeling colder and colder. Stuff
never worked yet. I quit smoking the hardest thing never, Folks,
I want you to call us now if you have
something you're wondering. Could hypnosis hypnotherapy? Could it help me?
This is the time to find out. And I'll tell
you why. It's hard to find a hypnotherapist. I've been
looking around and there just aren't that many. So many
(12:58):
of them say we want you to come in for
a series of therapy sessions and they try to string
it out and charge you a lot. Where I quit
smoking in one whack and yeah, and that's what I'm
looking for, and it's really hard to find. So everyone's
fortunate that Glenn is with us, and this is a
freebee chance to get some uh some some what's the
(13:21):
word help, advice, guidance? Yeah, have a consultation. Yeah. So
six one, seven, two, five four. We'll continue further on
with some of the things that can be helped with
hypnotherapy on w b Z.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
news Radio.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
We continue with hypno therapist Glenn Rockman, and now we're
going to check into some of the things that can
be helped by hypno therapy. It's not just curing of
bad habits that there are other things such as focus,
stress reduction, et cetera. So why don't you run through
some of the most common complaints that you are able
(14:10):
to help people with.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Sure, So there's things that, like you said, people expect
or think about when they think of hypnotherapy. They think
or stop smoking, or fear of flying, which is an
amazing gift. I've literally given people their life back, being
able to travel the world. But there's things that people
don't think about, things like I have cured several agoraphobics
(14:36):
that could not leave the house on their own that
now drive into freeways, that live their life normal again.
With you know, that's a big one, anxiety panic attacks,
Curing people from crippling panic attacks that ruin their entire lives.
So hypnotherapy is amazing in that area, and then on
(15:00):
the other level, the high performal level. And I worked
with a he's not just got a college scholarship and
he'll be in the NBI. I have no doubt there
was a he was I think nineteen eighteen. He broke
his knee on the basketball court and got repaired as
good as new, but he could not walk on the
(15:20):
court because that fear of breaking his legs. We did
two sessions together. He let go of the fear. We
turned up his mental focus and clarity when he's on
the court. His mom just sent me one of their
welcome letters to his college. He got a scholarship for
for basketball. So there's so many great things and the
(15:42):
whole world of entrepreneurs and mindset of you know, the
same limitations we have with our limiting beliefs when it
comes to fears and phobias. These are the same limitations
many people that are entrepreneurs and high performers have where
they can't get their business to the next level, their
(16:03):
company failed, they don't have the courage to start over again,
or they don't know how to manage the stress of
their company and their family and their life. And so
there is a whole coaching aspect with hypnotherapy that is
just like lightning in a bottle.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay, let's talk to Terra Tera in Hull. Thank you
for being with us, Tara in Hell. How do you do?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I might hey, I might lose you.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Guys.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
I'm in downtown Hangham and I realized I won't reception
cuts in it out.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, so.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
All right, let me uh, let's see what happens if
it cuts off. I'll try to call that. So, yeah,
I'm I have kind I have an interesting question about so.
I'm I'm nine hundred and twelve now, I'm fifty one
of smoke my whole life, and h I've dealt with
(17:07):
addiction of like all all types of kinds and that
sort of thing like detox. I mean that that's not
an issue today, but in general in my life, I've
never wanted to stop doing like that aspect of my
life and people always, I mean, this has been like decades.
I'm not even calling about for that reason. But so
(17:29):
it's almost like step fast in the I'm I never
want to have like a sober life, if you will, right,
but I can tell you I have wanted to not smoke.
Not I haven't wanted to quit because I don't think
I ever could quit. It's it's discussed. I haven't for
(17:51):
me to smoke a cigarette. I mean it's the saw
that my hands everything. It's been decades.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So do you have a question for Glenn?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, so if.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
You're what you like seven minutes ago, just it was
something that you were talking about that that made me
call in. So so if we're going to talk addiction,
whether it's any type of addiction that you're you're you
don't want to so cigarettes, right, that's an addiction.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
It's an addiction.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
So how does your how does your brain separate let's
just not even use Let's just say any type of
addiction something that it needs wants craves. And I'm not
talking about the physiological of nicotine. I'm talking just you know,
you get up, you have a cigarette.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, I'm going to try to see if we understand
what you were getting at.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I got her.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I got her.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, I don't know, but go ahead and answer the question, do.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You los her?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
So?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Also, addiction is one of my specialties. I work into
rehab centers with recovering addicts and sober living houses. So
I understand the nature of addiction. But there's two parts.
You know, she's talking about, not necessarily the nicotine craving
for your body, but the mental. I believe what she's
saying is the mental aspect of addiction, where it's the
(19:15):
physical pattern of smoking. It is the escape the boredom.
The most smokers when I asked them, and actually it's
just a question for you. When you were smoking, how
many cigarettes did you smoke a day? When you were
a full time smoker, probably.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
At the worst, a pack of day?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Now, can you remember?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
That seems suicide now.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It's crazy, right, but it's good for you if we're
getting rid of it. But out of that pack of day,
how many of those cigarettes did you actually enjoy? Do
you remember?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah? Of course not, No, I don't remember. I mean,
you know, it's I've thought about it and a lot
of it, and I think maybe what you were trying
to get too is that it's a ritual. It's a ritual.
It's kind of like drinking beer, Like when you drink
non alcoholic beer, it's still kind of good because most
of the ritual is there with him, that non alcoholic beer.
(20:09):
It's it's just the alcohol missing, and it's pretty easy
to get used to these great and non alcoholic beers.
But I get your point. It's a habit. It's what
you're saying, is a habit, not so much chemical addiction.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It's absolutely habit. And most most smokers, if you were
actively smoking, everyone I've asked say is normally they if
they smoke a pack of day, they might enjoy three
of them, like the first one in the morning, after
dinner and before bed the other ones. For many smokers,
it's kind of a nuisance, you know, it's like, oh,
this habit, you know, they just they don't necessarily enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
You got into the freezing cold outside your workplace to smoke.
That's really sad when I see people outside shivering and
sub zero temperature smoking.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
You know that, you know, but it's true. It's the rich. Well,
it's a it's an unconscious habit that we have. And
you know, when we're talking about somebody that has a
history of addiction as well, you know part of it.
It's two parts. It's not just dealing with the pattern
of addiction, it's dealing with what in your life do
(21:19):
we have to change in order for you to not
need to escape from it. That is the real question
that underlies most addictive behavior.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
All right, let's go to it. My next color will
be Mike. Mike in Everett, Massachusetts, home of probably bringing
it out the new soccer stadium.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Right, yeah, good evening, good evening. How are you doing? Listen?
I got a quick I got a quick thing I say,
and normally say it that I can hear you everybody,
What do you have to say? Well, twenty five years
ago I went to the Russian gentleman lost it twice,
the Mad Russian, the Mad Russian. I walked out twice.
I let up a cigarette on on my Mary. Okay,
(22:02):
go forward forward there. About five years later, I'm outside
of it was outside of no Station, going to a
concert with my wife. I said, I gotta get a
pack of cigarettes. I walked to one of the stores there,
paid several bucks I think, for a pack of segarettes.
I come out, open up the pack, had one cigarette.
A gentleman walked up and he says, clip on my
cigarette off And I says, you know what, take the
whole pack. I quit. I quit right then and there,
(22:24):
no craven I just I overcame it. I just wonder,
how does that happen? Like I went to there, like
I said that mad Russia twice. Nothing worked. I did
it on my own. I haven't had a crave and
I haven't had a cigarette twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Right, wow, so hypnosis failed, but you did.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
It on your own, correct sir?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
All right? What about that, Glenn?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
How long was the period of time when you saw
that hypnotist and before you quit?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Probably about five years?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Was the year? A month?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Five years?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
He says, about five years?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Okay, because there is interesting thing that's happened to me.
Many times, I'll do a smoking session and it'll work,
they'll smoke another cigre or two, and then two weeks later,
out of nowhere, they get up and they're done and
it's over. It just sometimes there's a law of delayed reaction.
(23:20):
But five years is a little bit too long for
that delayed reaction to happen. So what happened was you
made a choice and your subconscious mind supported that choice
at the moment. Most likely whatever that night meant, you
were in a suggestible state and you took a pack
(23:41):
of cigarettes. Somebody came at you at the right time
and under that moment, your submont, your subconscious mind just
took in your own self suggestion that you were done,
and it just took. Now that maybe because you did
some work previously in your life and that may have
paved the way, or I believe the best explanation is
(24:06):
you were just in a very suggestible state that night,
for whatever the reasons were, and you actually took in
your own suggestions. Does that make sense?
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Wow, Yeah, that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Thank you very much, Thanks Mike, goodbye, good bye night.
Thank you, of course. And the bottom line, the happy
story is that he did quit is there's nothing feels
better than not smoking anymore. When I was hypnotized, I
do remember one of the phrases the hypnoti the hypnotist
said he was very keen on h taking away, making
(24:43):
us cease to be a slave to them. And he said,
no longer will you be a slave to tobacco, paper
and glue, and he and yeah, he also painted this picture,
very vivid picture of the tobacco warehouses and how snakes
(25:03):
it would be slithering through the tobacco in the warehouses,
and rats would be there, and how disgusting the tobacco
of it. So that's cool.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I love it all.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Right, Let's take a break and we go. We'll go

Speaker 12 (27:45):
Diggs has denied the allegations, while Balbmore's lawyer says he's

The city of Boston reaching an agreement with the Craft

Speaker 1 (28:13):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Insit Third Sharon news person. Sharon mentioned the soccer stadium
and the crafts As I understand it, the soccer stadium
is going to be practically right outside our window here,
like part of the deal. This is a separate thing.
I just wanted to mention part of the deal included
improvements to the assembly to stop on the Irons line,
which is like right over there we're with we're having fun.
(28:40):
I'm having fun with Glenn Rodman, who is a hypnotherapist. Gun,
you're having a little fun.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I could talk about hypnotherapy all day long. Of course,
I love when people call in with questions and I'm happy.
Speaker 13 (28:54):
To be here.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Okay, Next we have Rick and Bill Rica. How do
you do?
Speaker 14 (28:59):
Rick Bradley Glynn, Happy to know you to you, thank you,
thank you, absolutely, thank you for the subject. It's hard
to admit wacky.
Speaker 15 (29:10):
Things about yourself, but I will say I got O
c D for everything. Just to name a few things, lights, locks,
and and electrical outlets, plugs and stuff, amongst many other things.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Can you explain what you mean OCD with locks?
Speaker 15 (29:26):
Obsessive compulsive leaven my door. I can't just check it once,
got to check it three. You know we've got to
jingle the lock five times or something.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I get it. You said electrical outlets? What about that one?
Speaker 15 (29:39):
You know you see a plug, You're going to make
sure the plugs are right because every time like a
plug's coming out if you push it in your mind,
says this is why we look at everything. Good job. Yeah, no,
And I mean I'm still I'm grateful that that that
I'm not. You know, if there's much, there are much
greater monkeys that one could have on their back and
(30:01):
back guerrillas. But I'm also a bit of a hoarder too.
I've got to make some changes and unclog my house.
After my parents died, I brought a lot of stuff
over and I got to deal with the emotions and
get rid of it. So my question is I'm and
I'm sure Rosanna Rosanna Danner would say after hearing that,
sh'd say, Rick, you sound like a real attractive guy.
(30:24):
But if you can remember that way, all right, all right,
Rosanna Rosanna din So could hitpmotherapy help somebody like me
who would love to make those changes so that I
can free up more time and not be sort of
magnet to steal, especially when I go away for a
few days. I got to check everything in my house.
(30:45):
It takes me half an hour instead of ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Yes, it is. I believe it's the only things that
can help you without years of talk therapy and medications
and running down circles take a long time to heal,
so hoarding you you actually one thank you for sharing that,
And two I would offer to you that you don't
(31:12):
need to be so hard on yourself and have that
kind of negative self talk where when you said rick,
you know, you sound like a real catch or whatever
the phrase you used. Be kinder to yourself, you know, honestly,
be kinder to yourself. It's okay. We're all human and
all of us deal with things that aren't comfortable, you know.
(31:35):
So what you said was, it's not the clutter that's
the problem. It's the emotions that are attached to the clutter,
right you said, you're not you're procrastinating keeping the things
because you're not ready to deal with the emotions that
you feel you're going to have to deal with when
(31:57):
you remove the clutter. So it isn't about the clutter.
It is one hundred percent about the patterns of emotions.
And nobody's ever died from a feeling. Nobody's ever gotten
hurt from a feeling. People have hurt themselves and died
trying not to feel a feeling, and that's kind of
(32:21):
the root of the issue here. It's your relationship to
your emotions, and your mind has built up a defense mechanism.
The reason you check everything because if I don't, something
bad could happen. It's your subconscious mind realizing, well, put
it this way, you have everybody has fight or flights
(32:42):
in our subconscious mind that will protect us. So if
you're walking down the street and something comes at you,
you have reactions. However, due to not wanting to feel
certain emotions, your mind has created patterns that you believe
you need in order to feel safe. Where double checking
your door handle it doesn't protect you. Fight or flight
(33:05):
protect you. Now double checking everything in the house doesn't
protect you. Fight or flight does, And we have to
retrain your subconscious mind to trust your fight or flight
and let go of the patterns that were created out
of this belief of safety. Does that make sense so far?
Speaker 15 (33:26):
Oh, one hundred percent, of course, it's nothing. I totally
agree with you. And after my folks passed away and
we sold our childhood home, which then got leveled, but
not a few years afterwards, it's like I say to myself, well,
I'm glad I brought a lot of mom and dad
stuff over because the house doesn't exist anymore. But I
(33:47):
look at it, and you know, I can't set up
my drums, and my my beef or organ in the
living room can't really be accessed because I have too
much crap everywhere, and I just got to you know
what I just got. My house isn't big enough. You know,
I've got to gotta just give it away. I wish
I could just say, hey, take this, take this bureau thing,
take this.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I wish I could so rick in my household. We're
going to the same thing we right now. Actually, I
mean we weren't hoarders, but we had things, family, things
that we felt guilty about getting rid of. And at
some point we said, they're just things. They're not the person.
They're just things. We have photos, we have memories, they're
(34:30):
just dishes. It's just a dish. And once once you
wrap your mind around that, I mean, this is not
I'm not the doctor, but that was what helped us.
And also, once you do it, you may find that
you feel emancipated and you want to feel that feeling
of emancipation and freedom again and do it again, and
(34:53):
you know you know how to get rid of stuff.
I know this because we're doing it right now. Put
it free on uh Facebook market place, just market free.
For some reason, there's a horde of people just waiting
out there for free stuff, like like ants. You'll be amazed.
(35:13):
They'll say, can I come pick it up tonight? And
it'll be gone and you and you won't have that
guilt feeling about throwing it in the trash. There's some
negative feelings about trash.
Speaker 15 (35:22):
It's going ahead, big time negative, no, big time negative feeling.
Especially Dad's clocks. But other than all the parts that
he had to all these clocks that are undone and incomplete,
there is one beautiful Howard clock that's a round one
that I haven't I need to find the inerts. But yeah,
I need to go through the inness. But all the
(35:44):
other clock parts and I just you know, it's a
part of Dad I want to keep, but I'm not
using it in it It smells up, you know, it
kind of smells all you know, the basement. You know,
I don't have a lot of moisture, but it's got
that musty smell. Anyway, anyway, go on, so.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I'll let you. I've been doing all the talking. Yeah, Glenn,
why don't you finish up with Rick, and I believe
that hypnosis works on like zoom and maybe you can
actually maybe Glenn can actually help you himself.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I don't know, Rick, if you want to, if you
want to reach out, you can go to my website
or my Instagram. Instagram is hYP No Underscore Glenn with
two ends.
Speaker 15 (36:26):
I write that real fast.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yeah, hYP No like hypnosis underscore hYP.
Speaker 15 (36:33):
No Hypno h y Po beach like.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Okay, just sure Hype underscore Glenn g l E n N.
Speaker 15 (36:45):
G l E and and thank you. I appreciate that,
and I'll work on it.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
I used to.
Speaker 15 (36:50):
I've been able to do some of it in the
past three years, maybe about twenty five percent by putting
a rock wricking on that I've never heard before. I
like to listen to I've never I've never heard, and
just working on stuff for until the end of the record,
maybe continuing. But I know if I could do five
minutes a day, no matter what, every day, five minutes,
it'll extend into more each day. But that has to
(37:12):
be the deal. It can't be won two hours once
a week because then I won't do it.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Okay, you guys, we have to get to Laurie.
Speaker 15 (37:19):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
We got it.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Thank you very much. Now, I guess it's the perfect
time to break And yes, Laurie and Melrose, I see you,
and I see Florence and Groveland. We'll have time for
you after this. On WBZ.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Glenn Rutman, hypno therapist, has generously agreed to be with us,
and we had a wonderful talk with Rick about his situation.
And now we're going to go to Laurie and Melrose. Hello,
Laurie and Melrose, say hello to Glenn.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
Yes, Hi, I wanted to bring up something yet it
might happen in my family that was very helpful, that
might be helpful to other people, and you obviously can
come on on it. She was a nurse and a
doctorate degree in nursing and her daughter needed a kidney
and she was giving her kidney to her daughter, so
she went to a hypnosuraphist beforehand that she wanted to
(38:20):
cut down on as you wanted to recoup faster and
cut down on bleeding. So I would just starting to
throw that out as something that was very successful.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Oh is that something that is that something that rings
true to you.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Glenn Oh one thousand percent. For example, if you're going
and let's say you have a broken leg, just by visualizing,
using hypnotherapy and letting me help you visualize, that leg
will heal faster, much faster than it would have without it.
There is a lot of power we have to hear,
(39:00):
heel when it comes to using this gift of visualization,
your subconscious mind and your suggestibility. I have I this
hasn't happened yet, but it's gotten closed. I have a
client in Spain who is in a wheelchair and I
have gotten her legs to move. She's not walking yet,
(39:21):
she will walk. Her house is set up like a gym.
If you saw her legs, it looks like a bodybuilder's legs,
even though she can't stand on them because she has
a whole setup. But through suggestions and through her subconscious mind,
I have made her legs move and it was amazing.
So there's some stuff that can be done that's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
So what I would to say if I have made
the surgery, I would go to him the therapist before him.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
I could. It's so powerful. Just even this, let me
give you, like, let me give you a real practical example.
Let's take all the magic out of it. If I
I just went to you, if you came to me
and I said, listen, let's do a session on your
outcoming surgery, I'd put you on a hypnosis and say, now,
imagine the surgeon's hands are perfect, they're working, so they
(40:12):
know exactly what to do, where to do it, and
your body responds and it heals. That alone creates such
a beautiful state of confidence going into a surgery that
it just it's like a snowball rolling downhill, but in
a positive way. It just builds so much positive momentum
(40:32):
about what you're going to do, and it's a beautiful thing.
So yes, thank you for mentioning the kidney and the healing.
There is so many ways.
Speaker 5 (40:44):
Doctors agree in nursing. Socialism in the medical field in
no way, and I'm definitely believed in it.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
So all right, thank you, Laurie.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
And next we have Florence in Groveland on WBC.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
Hi Florence, Hi, Bradley. Good Glenn. It's not for me,
but I want to check for a friend of mine.
She gets or his I should say, a lot of
stress and she gets panic attacks, you know what those are,
(41:27):
connect commander hypnosis.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Thank you, Thank you, Florence. We appreciate that. And well
we'll let Glenn tackle that one.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yes, yet a panic response. The panic attacks are adrenaline
that build up in the body, and it can come
from a trigger, it can come from a bad memory,
it can come from even blood sugar dropping. So anxiety
and panic attacks are so we can absolutely rewire what
(42:03):
those emotions feel like in your body, so when it
starts coming up, you can actually welcome and let it
pass instead of letting letting it overtake you. It's an amazing,
amazing journey to go on with someone to take them
out of their anxiety and out of their panic, and
(42:25):
it's hugely helpful in this area. Whether they want to
see me or see a local hypnes they should absolutely
go see a hypnotherapist who is comfortable in that area
that has worked with people in this way.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
You know, Thank you, Lawrence. Now let's talk to David
in Draco it Hi.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
David Oither.
Speaker 13 (42:51):
Glenn I had a question on how deep can you
go into psychological or psychiatric problems with people? For example,
a young lady who's sixty eight pounds, so quite sin
but looks in the mirror and thinks she's fat. She
has an eating disorder of some kind. Let's use that
(43:13):
as an example.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Yes, now here's the thing. Yes, I would love to
love to help people with eating disorders, someone who's anorectic.
I have to do it with the doctor's permission, you
know what I mean, because they are under a medical
care at that point too. There's things that are atoscope
(43:36):
because as a hypnotherapist or a mindset expert so to speak.
You know, I'm not a doctor, right, so I have
to work in conjunction under a physician, which nowadays most
physicians are like, if you can help her, you have
a blessing, you know what I mean. So, yes, the
(43:57):
problem is no matter what you like logically say to
somebody who's anorexic, it doesn't matter. You can put them
in the mirror, you can say look at you and
look at me. You know it's not logically, none of
it matters. It's a subconscious pattern of protection. It's a
subconscious pattern a perceived belief of control. Their life is
(44:20):
so out of control that this is the only thing
I can control. And then the pattern takes over and
they don't know how to get out of it anymore.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
I have observation here. In order for hypnosis to work,
you have to really want it to work. But it
strikes me that anorexic people don't you know, they don't
see themselves as needing to stop. As a matter of fact,
they want to go the other way. They want to
become thinner, So they don't really want to stop what
(44:53):
they're doing because they feel they need to get then
to get even thinner. And so how does it work
if they don't want to stop.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Well, if generally speaking, even though they will admit that
even though they believe that they are fat and they're skinny,
most of them know they have a problem because other
areas of their lives are in disarray. And as long
(45:25):
as they are willing and open to it, you know
what I mean. Obviously, if you throw me in a
room with an anorexic person and they don't want to
be cured, yes, they will reject it and it will
be unsuccessful. I used to do entertainment parties. I did
a several I did a sixteen party and they one
(45:46):
of the girls. They all wanted me to talk to
one of their friends afterwards, and it turns out that
this girl was sixteen and she keeps making herself throw up.
Now she's not anorexic skinny yet, but she's thin. And
I asked her, if I take this away for you
right now, is that something you want? I said, I
can take it away right now, and then she turned
(46:09):
white as a ghost because she wasn't ready to have
it taken away. And so what you said is so
important that if they don't want it, I can't. I'm
not like, it's not like I'm Harry Potter with a
wand that can can take your will over. It's an agreement.
It's a process we do together, you know. So if
(46:31):
they want the help, and hypnotherapy is the absolute most
amazing way to go, you know.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Well, thank you, David. I hope that was helpful to you.
Take care and goodbye to you. David. All Right, Glenn's
can you run through a short time left some of
the other things that oh, no, this is I have
a key question. Yeah, when I had my hypnotherapy to
quit smoking in person, and I believed in it, but
(47:03):
I really don't believe so much in the online version.
And if I don't believe in the online version. Isn't
that going to hamper the success of the online version
of it?
Speaker 3 (47:17):
Well, that is one of the things that I address.
So if you and I were doing a hypnotherapy session
together and I have you on Zoom, you have headphones on.
Once you close your eyes, there is no difference whether
you are next to me in the room or I'm
on Zoom with you.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Except except your belief. I know that you're not in
the room, correct.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
But what I wouldn't just do a session with you
right now. First we'd have a conversation about it, and
I would I would kind of break down those emotions
that you're feeling, and I would say to you, most
of my clients are not in person. I live in
Los Angeles. I would say ten percent of my clients
(48:02):
are in person. Ninety percent are over zoom because they're
all around the world. And I'm just as effective in
Zoom as a person. I don't need you to believe it.
I'm just asking you to be open to the process.
And then you and I would do a couple fun
imagination games and then you would feel okay, I'm okay
(48:25):
now and I'm ready, and I do believe now this
would work. So yes, your belief system is important and
also it's your experience, right, So if you don't want
the experience over zoom, that's okay, then you know what
I mean. Then either I do have clients that have
(48:45):
flown in to see me, right, or you find somebody
local to you. So I completely understand when you say
like for me, yeah, go.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
On, I just need to say I need to thank
you and say good night because that time is up. Well,
I once again thank you. Yeah, the hour goes quickly,
doesn't it. Thank you, Thank you triple thank you for
being so helpful because I believe that you gave people
some hope and give the quickly give the website or
how to contact you.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
Again and sure so the easiest way. Glenn Rotman's kind
of a long injury. Remember if you think of the
hipno vault dot com.
Speaker 4 (49:24):
Okay, beautiful, that's my website and thank
Speaker 2 (49:27):
You, take care of hope to talk to you, WBZ
It's night side with Dan Ray on WBZ. He FoST
in his new radio.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
All right, it is WBZ I side with Dan Ray.
I'm Bradley Jay and for Dan tonight. And I don't
know about you, but I love getting hypnotized. Yeah you
know why because it helped me quit smoking, the best
thing that ever happened to me in my life. And
we're gonna go through that process. And I'm doing this
(00:31):
because I really want to help you and it was
so wonderful for me. I want to share it. And
we have an actual hypnotherapist with us, and he's gonna
let you know how the process goes, what it is,
what it isn't. But first let me tell you what
it did for me. Back in the eighties, I smoked.
(00:54):
Can you believe it? A lot of people smoked. I smoked,
and I couldn't quit. I tried to quit time and
time again. Just couldn't. For one thing. I don't have
any willpower at all anyway, But even for those who
have willpower, it's excruciatingly difficult. Tried and failed New Year's
(01:15):
Eve resolution lasted maybe twelve minutes, actually probably fewer than
twelve minutes, and I had almost given up. But when
I worked at rock station wbc N, a hypnotist hypnotherapist
was in the studio and actually worked on the prog.
(01:40):
I won't go into who he hypnotized, but I would
say it three or four people there for smoking and
they all quit, And so I said, well, I'm going
to try it. I have nothing to lose in one
day in a public building and in Brookline. Actually I
(02:02):
didn't live there at the time, but I heard about
it and I went there and this guy was This
guy was really something. He used to do hypnotherapy for
air traffic controllers to help them relax and to help
their focus and sports figures. He was like hypnotherapists to
this stars kind of. So I went in, didn't expect anything,
(02:29):
and when I came out, didn't feel any different. But
the thing is, I never had another cigarette ever, ever, ever, ever,
And my friends, here's the kicker. I never had a
craving at all, even a little never. Ever. Can you
imagine that if you're smoking right now, if you're a smoker,
(02:50):
you cannot imagine that's possible. It is possible. Also, I
had my significant other, Shannon go as well. She also
doesn't smoke, and there's there are a lot of other
ways that hypnosis can help. I don't even know them all,
but we're going to find out. We're going to get
(03:11):
a much bigger picture of what hypnosis can do, how
it works, maybe lay some of your concerns about it,
and I guess a good time to start right now.
Thank you for being with us, Glenn Raman, very very
happy to have you here.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh, it's a great way to start off the new year.
Excited to be here with you and share what I
love the most in life. And that's a great story
that you just shared. So that's a great way to
start us off. So you quit smoking just like that, right.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
That's right. And it wasn't this. There wasn't this drawn
out multi session thing. It was one session and then
you could come back for free or refresher, which I did.
And they also said don't drink anything for thirty days
because alcohol will degrade whatever it is that we instilled
in you. And I played by the rules and I've
(04:06):
been very happy ever since. So can you tell us first?
I guess the main question is how does it work?
How does hypnosis work?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, it's an ability that we all have people will
you know, I run ads all over the world. I
have an online community called the hypno Vault, and I
get so many questions that are that need to be
kind of debunked as to what it is. You know,
they say this hypnotherapy work, this hypnosis work. I'm like,
(04:38):
how do you think? Why do you think you're wearing
the clothes that you're wearing. Why do you think you
listen to the music that you like? Why did you
pick what you have eight for dinner tonight because you
were open to a suggestion. Hypnosis is suggestibility. We build
our entire lives on influence from others, you know, like
(05:00):
the music my sister's boyfriend shared with me when I
was young was the music that is still near and
dear to my heart because it was influenced. And we
get influenced by the world around us without even realizing
it when it comes to our habits or you know,
generally speaking, if mom and dad go to the gym
(05:22):
and they're a gym rat, mom and dad, well, the
kids will grow up with fitness. If mom and dad
have a very bad pattern of eating, the kids will
grow up Not always, of course, because we're influenced by
these patterns, and hypnosis is where we go into the
place where those patterns were formed. It's not about willpower,
(05:44):
it's about changing the patterns in our subconscious minds.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
So we're not just what is that place? What is that?
And if you I need that?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And when you say place I need like a physical
spot like subconscious mind, where is that?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It's basically a meditative state that we go into. Hypnosis
is the ability we all have, So everybody has kind
of you ever just stare at the wall and you
kind of shake your head like, WHOA, where did I
just go for a minute. You know, when we go
into that place, there are the literally alpha brain waves
are becoming predominant in our mind, which is where we
(06:24):
go when we meditate or we go into deep states
of focus, like if you sit down in your computer
to work for ten minutes and an hour goes by
and you think to yourself, where did that time go?
You were in a focused state of awareness. And hypnosis
is just a place I take you to. Different ways
(06:44):
I can take you there. I can do it very
dramatically like you'd see on the street where I do
entertainment hypnosis, or through a nice guided relaxation where it's
like close your eyes, let's go even deeper in half
and just to get you into that relaxed state of mind.
That's really all it is. I'm taking you into a
meditative state. And then we're using images in words to
(07:09):
create new patterns of thought in your mind.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, So there is an observable change in your brain patterns.
You could see it if you get hook if you
get hooked up during hypnosis, you see some nice out
a whole bunch of alpha waves.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And yeah, actually on my website there's photos of me
at the Peak Brain Institute where I did a QEED scan.
We did scan when I was in a wakeful state
that I put myself into a deep hypnotic meditative state.
They did another scan and you'll see the alpha brain
waves take over the entire screen. It's really neat to see.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay. And so that is a meditative state. And what
you do is just accelerate that process of getting into
the meditative state, yes, and introduce a suggestions in a
manner that have been proven to be most effective.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Now, some things people fear. You mentioned that there were
things that are unnecessarily feared about hypnosis? What are those
and why are they not something to worry about.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Because some people, you know, there's a belief that it's
mind control, and it's not mind control. You're aware the
entire time you're kind of daydreaming and nothing. If at
the core of who you are you don't agree with
the work that we're doing, it's not going to take.
So if your wife sends you to me to stop smoking,
(08:45):
but you really don't want to stop smoking, you're going
to reject the suggestions and the suggestive work.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So what about the people the entertainment hypnosis? You know,
like jump around like a chicken situation?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Is that the same thing? And if if I didn't
want to jump around like a chicken, could you make me?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
If you are highly suggestible, so when I do I've
done tons of entertainment shows, colleges, you name it everywhere
on YouTube. When you do a stage show and you
pull twenty people up on stage, inevitably you're going to
pull three or four or five people off because they're
either either got distracted or they're just not hyper suggestible
(09:31):
in that way.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
How do you know right away who's hyper suggestible?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You don't until you test them a little bit, okay,
little yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I know.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
There's little fun games that I do with your imagination
and they tell me how how your imagination works. How
and they're kind of me like, sometimes I'll have you
stick your arms out in front of you and imagine
there's a string of balloons to one hand and a
heavyweight on the other, and I'll see if you can
take that suggestion. And then I watch for eye movements.
(10:04):
Eye movements tell me everything if you go into rim,
which is a rapid eye movement state, or if I
see that you're struggling or blocking it. Because I think
what happens to us as we get older, we lose
the ability to play those imaginations we had as a kid.
And I have to take you back there. You know,
(10:27):
brain sciences call it neuroplasticity, that when we get older,
we get crusty hills a little bit in our thinking,
we get set in our ways, right, So I have
to kind of take you back to an earlier playful state,
And so I do. I do fun little games kind
of something where I'll like lock your fingers together, or
I'll have you see if you can taste a lemon
(10:49):
and I'll see if you can experience some of your imagination,
and that is what we use to kind of test
and to get people into the state.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That's interesting because I think that I am pretty suggestible
because it worked on me so well. And when I
get in the relaxed state, I get so relaxed that
my arms go to sleep from the if they're on
the arm of a chair, they'll get the prickly feeling
from actually going to sleep. So I'm pretty suggestible, however,
and then a number of times that I've been, you know,
(11:25):
attempted to, someone's tried to. If I've been up on stage,
like you were talking about, and the balloons, that kind
of thing never works on me. Ever, Ever, you know, ever.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
It could be go ahead.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
It's most likely the environment. It's not. Some people are
very aware of the people in the audience, and because
of that, you get distracted. If it's one on one
and nobody's around and we're playing some of these suggestibility tests,
it's much easier in that fashion. But on a stage show,
(12:04):
you know, hypnotherapy is not meant for stage hypnosis. It's
just a byproduct that when some people go into a
meditative state, they become hyper suggestible. So if you're in
a meditative state and I say your body's feeling colder
and colder, you will feel like your body's actually getting
(12:26):
colder and colder because you're accepting that suggestion because you're
in that meditative state and your imagination is wide open.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Maybe, but I've that you're feeling colder and colder. Stuff
never worked yet. I quit smoking the hardest thing never, Folks,
I want you to call us now if you have
something you're wondering. Could hypnosis hypnotherapy? Could it help me?
This is the time to find out. And I'll tell
you why. It's hard to find a hypnotherapist. I've been
looking around and there just aren't that many. So many
(12:58):
of them say we want you to come in for
a series of therapy sessions and they try to string
it out and charge you a lot. Where I quit
smoking in one whack and yeah, and that's what I'm
looking for, and it's really hard to find. So everyone's
fortunate that Glenn is with us, and this is a
freebee chance to get some uh some some what's the
(13:21):
word help, advice, guidance? Yeah, have a consultation. Yeah. So
six one, seven, two, five four. We'll continue further on
with some of the things that can be helped with
hypnotherapy on w b Z.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
news Radio.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
We continue with hypno therapist Glenn Rockman, and now we're
going to check into some of the things that can
be helped by hypno therapy. It's not just curing of
bad habits that there are other things such as focus,
stress reduction, et cetera. So why don't you run through
some of the most common complaints that you are able
(14:10):
to help people with.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Sure, So there's things that, like you said, people expect
or think about when they think of hypnotherapy. They think
or stop smoking, or fear of flying, which is an
amazing gift. I've literally given people their life back, being
able to travel the world. But there's things that people
don't think about, things like I have cured several agoraphobics
(14:36):
that could not leave the house on their own that
now drive into freeways, that live their life normal again.
With you know, that's a big one, anxiety panic attacks,
Curing people from crippling panic attacks that ruin their entire lives.
So hypnotherapy is amazing in that area, and then on
(15:00):
the other level, the high performal level. And I worked
with a he's not just got a college scholarship and
he'll be in the NBI. I have no doubt there
was a he was I think nineteen eighteen. He broke
his knee on the basketball court and got repaired as
good as new, but he could not walk on the
(15:20):
court because that fear of breaking his legs. We did
two sessions together. He let go of the fear. We
turned up his mental focus and clarity when he's on
the court. His mom just sent me one of their
welcome letters to his college. He got a scholarship for
for basketball. So there's so many great things and the
(15:42):
whole world of entrepreneurs and mindset of you know, the
same limitations we have with our limiting beliefs when it
comes to fears and phobias. These are the same limitations
many people that are entrepreneurs and high performers have where
they can't get their business to the next level, their
(16:03):
company failed, they don't have the courage to start over again,
or they don't know how to manage the stress of
their company and their family and their life. And so
there is a whole coaching aspect with hypnotherapy that is
just like lightning in a bottle.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Okay, let's talk to Terra Tera in Hull. Thank you
for being with us, Tara in Hell. How do you do?
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (16:30):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
I might hey, I might lose you.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Guys.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
I'm in downtown Hangham and I realized I won't reception
cuts in it out.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, so.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
All right, let me uh, let's see what happens if
it cuts off. I'll try to call that. So, yeah,
I'm I have kind I have an interesting question about so.
I'm I'm nine hundred and twelve now, I'm fifty one
of smoke my whole life, and h I've dealt with
(17:07):
addiction of like all all types of kinds and that
sort of thing like detox. I mean that that's not
an issue today, but in general in my life, I've
never wanted to stop doing like that aspect of my
life and people always, I mean, this has been like decades.
I'm not even calling about for that reason. But so
(17:29):
it's almost like step fast in the I'm I never
want to have like a sober life, if you will, right,
but I can tell you I have wanted to not smoke.
Not I haven't wanted to quit because I don't think
I ever could quit. It's it's discussed. I haven't for
(17:51):
me to smoke a cigarette. I mean it's the saw
that my hands everything. It's been decades.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So do you have a question for Glenn?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, so if.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
You're what you like seven minutes ago, just it was
something that you were talking about that that made me
call in. So so if we're going to talk addiction,
whether it's any type of addiction that you're you're you
don't want to so cigarettes, right, that's an addiction.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
It's an addiction.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
So how does your how does your brain separate let's
just not even use Let's just say any type of
addiction something that it needs wants craves. And I'm not
talking about the physiological of nicotine. I'm talking just you know,
you get up, you have a cigarette.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, I'm going to try to see if we understand
what you were getting at.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I got her.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I got her.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, I don't know, but go ahead and answer the question, do.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You los her?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
So?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Also, addiction is one of my specialties. I work into
rehab centers with recovering addicts and sober living houses. So
I understand the nature of addiction. But there's two parts.
You know, she's talking about, not necessarily the nicotine craving
for your body, but the mental. I believe what she's
saying is the mental aspect of addiction, where it's the
(19:15):
physical pattern of smoking. It is the escape the boredom.
The most smokers when I asked them, and actually it's
just a question for you. When you were smoking, how
many cigarettes did you smoke a day? When you were
a full time smoker, probably.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
At the worst, a pack of day?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Now, can you remember?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
That seems suicide now.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It's crazy, right, but it's good for you if we're
getting rid of it. But out of that pack of day,
how many of those cigarettes did you actually enjoy? Do
you remember?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah? Of course not, No, I don't remember. I mean,
you know, it's I've thought about it and a lot
of it, and I think maybe what you were trying
to get too is that it's a ritual. It's a ritual.
It's kind of like drinking beer, Like when you drink
non alcoholic beer, it's still kind of good because most
of the ritual is there with him, that non alcoholic beer.
(20:09):
It's it's just the alcohol missing, and it's pretty easy
to get used to these great and non alcoholic beers.
But I get your point. It's a habit. It's what
you're saying, is a habit, not so much chemical addiction.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
It's absolutely habit. And most most smokers, if you were
actively smoking, everyone I've asked say is normally they if
they smoke a pack of day, they might enjoy three
of them, like the first one in the morning, after
dinner and before bed the other ones. For many smokers,
it's kind of a nuisance, you know, it's like, oh,
this habit, you know, they just they don't necessarily enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
You got into the freezing cold outside your workplace to smoke.
That's really sad when I see people outside shivering and
sub zero temperature smoking.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
You know that, you know, but it's true. It's the rich. Well,
it's a it's an unconscious habit that we have. And
you know, when we're talking about somebody that has a
history of addiction as well, you know part of it.
It's two parts. It's not just dealing with the pattern
of addiction, it's dealing with what in your life do
(21:19):
we have to change in order for you to not
need to escape from it. That is the real question
that underlies most addictive behavior.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
All right, let's go to it. My next color will
be Mike. Mike in Everett, Massachusetts, home of probably bringing
it out the new soccer stadium.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Right, yeah, good evening, good evening. How are you doing? Listen?
I got a quick I got a quick thing I say,
and normally say it that I can hear you everybody,
What do you have to say? Well, twenty five years
ago I went to the Russian gentleman lost it twice,
the Mad Russian, the Mad Russian. I walked out twice.
I let up a cigarette on on my Mary. Okay,
(22:02):
go forward forward there. About five years later, I'm outside
of it was outside of no Station, going to a
concert with my wife. I said, I gotta get a
pack of cigarettes. I walked to one of the stores there,
paid several bucks I think, for a pack of segarettes.
I come out, open up the pack, had one cigarette.
A gentleman walked up and he says, clip on my
cigarette off And I says, you know what, take the
whole pack. I quit. I quit right then and there,
(22:24):
no craven I just I overcame it. I just wonder,
how does that happen? Like I went to there, like
I said that mad Russia twice. Nothing worked. I did
it on my own. I haven't had a crave and
I haven't had a cigarette twenty five years.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Right, wow, so hypnosis failed, but you did.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
It on your own, correct sir?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
All right? What about that, Glenn?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
How long was the period of time when you saw
that hypnotist and before you quit?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Probably about five years?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Was the year? A month?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Five years?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
He says, about five years?
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Okay, because there is interesting thing that's happened to me.
Many times, I'll do a smoking session and it'll work,
they'll smoke another cigre or two, and then two weeks later,
out of nowhere, they get up and they're done and
it's over. It just sometimes there's a law of delayed reaction.
(23:20):
But five years is a little bit too long for
that delayed reaction to happen. So what happened was you
made a choice and your subconscious mind supported that choice
at the moment. Most likely whatever that night meant, you
were in a suggestible state and you took a pack
(23:41):
of cigarettes. Somebody came at you at the right time
and under that moment, your submont, your subconscious mind just
took in your own self suggestion that you were done,
and it just took. Now that maybe because you did
some work previously in your life and that may have
paved the way, or I believe the best explanation is
(24:06):
you were just in a very suggestible state that night,
for whatever the reasons were, and you actually took in
your own suggestions. Does that make sense?
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Wow, Yeah, that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Thank you very much, Thanks Mike, goodbye, good bye night.
Thank you, of course. And the bottom line, the happy
story is that he did quit is there's nothing feels
better than not smoking anymore. When I was hypnotized, I
do remember one of the phrases the hypnoti the hypnotist
said he was very keen on h taking away, making
(24:43):
us cease to be a slave to them. And he said,
no longer will you be a slave to tobacco, paper
and glue, and he and yeah, he also painted this picture,
very vivid picture of the tobacco warehouses and how snakes
(25:03):
it would be slithering through the tobacco in the warehouses,
and rats would be there, and how disgusting the tobacco
of it. So that's cool.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I love it all.
Speaker 2 (25:14):

like part of the deal. This is a separate thing.
I just wanted to mention part of the deal included
improvements to the assembly to stop on the Irons line,
which is like right over there we're with we're having fun.
(28:40):
I'm having fun with Glenn Rodman, who is a hypnotherapist. Gun,
you're having a little fun.
Speaker 3 (28:46):

I love when people call in with questions and I'm happy.
Speaker 13 (28:54):
To be here.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Okay, Next we have Rick and Bill Rica. How do
you do?
Speaker 14 (28:59):
Rick Bradley Glynn, Happy to know you to you, thank you,
thank you, absolutely, thank you for the subject. It's hard
to admit wacky.
Speaker 15 (29:10):
Things about yourself, but I will say I got O
c D for everything. Just to name a few things, lights, locks,
and and electrical outlets, plugs and stuff, amongst many other things.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Can you explain what you mean OCD with locks?
Speaker 15 (29:26):
Obsessive compulsive leaven my door. I can't just check it once,
got to check it three. You know we've got to
jingle the lock five times or something.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I get it. You said electrical outlets? What about that one?
Speaker 15 (29:39):
You know you see a plug, You're going to make
sure the plugs are right because every time like a
plug's coming out if you push it in your mind,
says this is why we look at everything. Good job. Yeah, no,
And I mean I'm still I'm grateful that that that
I'm not. You know, if there's much, there are much
greater monkeys that one could have on their back and
(30:01):
back guerrillas. But I'm also a bit of a hoarder too.
I've got to make some changes and unclog my house.
After my parents died, I brought a lot of stuff
over and I got to deal with the emotions and
get rid of it. So my question is I'm and
I'm sure Rosanna Rosanna Danner would say after hearing that,
sh'd say, Rick, you sound like a real attractive guy.
(30:24):
But if you can remember that way, all right, all right,
Rosanna Rosanna din So could hitpmotherapy help somebody like me
who would love to make those changes so that I
can free up more time and not be sort of
magnet to steal, especially when I go away for a
few days. I got to check everything in my house.
(30:45):
It takes me half an hour instead of ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Yes, it is. I believe it's the only things that
can help you without years of talk therapy and medications
and running down circles take a long time to heal,
so hoarding you you actually one thank you for sharing that,
And two I would offer to you that you don't
(31:12):
need to be so hard on yourself and have that
kind of negative self talk where when you said rick,
you know, you sound like a real catch or whatever
the phrase you used. Be kinder to yourself, you know, honestly,
be kinder to yourself. It's okay. We're all human and
all of us deal with things that aren't comfortable, you know.
(31:35):
So what you said was, it's not the clutter that's
the problem. It's the emotions that are attached to the clutter,
right you said, you're not you're procrastinating keeping the things
because you're not ready to deal with the emotions that
you feel you're going to have to deal with when
(31:57):
you remove the clutter. So it isn't about the clutter.
It is one hundred percent about the patterns of emotions.
And nobody's ever died from a feeling. Nobody's ever gotten
hurt from a feeling. People have hurt themselves and died
trying not to feel a feeling, and that's kind of
(32:21):
the root of the issue here. It's your relationship to
your emotions, and your mind has built up a defense mechanism.
The reason you check everything because if I don't, something
bad could happen. It's your subconscious mind realizing, well, put
it this way, you have everybody has fight or flights
(32:42):
in our subconscious mind that will protect us. So if
you're walking down the street and something comes at you,
you have reactions. However, due to not wanting to feel
certain emotions, your mind has created patterns that you believe
you need in order to feel safe. Where double checking
your door handle it doesn't protect you. Fight or flight
(33:05):
protect you. Now double checking everything in the house doesn't
protect you. Fight or flight does, And we have to
retrain your subconscious mind to trust your fight or flight
and let go of the patterns that were created out
of this belief of safety. Does that make sense so far?
Speaker 15 (33:26):
Oh, one hundred percent, of course, it's nothing. I totally
agree with you. And after my folks passed away and
we sold our childhood home, which then got leveled, but
not a few years afterwards, it's like I say to myself, well,
I'm glad I brought a lot of mom and dad
stuff over because the house doesn't exist anymore. But I
(33:47):
look at it, and you know, I can't set up
my drums, and my my beef or organ in the
living room can't really be accessed because I have too
much crap everywhere, and I just got to you know
what I just got. My house isn't big enough. You know,
I've got to gotta just give it away. I wish
I could just say, hey, take this, take this bureau thing,
take this.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I wish I could so rick in my household. We're
going to the same thing we right now. Actually, I
mean we weren't hoarders, but we had things, family, things
that we felt guilty about getting rid of. And at
some point we said, they're just things. They're not the person.
They're just things. We have photos, we have memories, they're
(34:30):
just dishes. It's just a dish. And once once you
wrap your mind around that, I mean, this is not
I'm not the doctor, but that was what helped us.
And also, once you do it, you may find that
you feel emancipated and you want to feel that feeling
of emancipation and freedom again and do it again, and
(34:53):
you know you know how to get rid of stuff.
I know this because we're doing it right now. Put
it free on uh Facebook market place, just market free.
For some reason, there's a horde of people just waiting
out there for free stuff, like like ants. You'll be amazed.
(35:13):
They'll say, can I come pick it up tonight? And
it'll be gone and you and you won't have that
guilt feeling about throwing it in the trash. There's some
negative feelings about trash.
Speaker 15 (35:22):
It's going ahead, big time negative, no, big time negative feeling.
Especially Dad's clocks. But other than all the parts that
he had to all these clocks that are undone and incomplete,
there is one beautiful Howard clock that's a round one
that I haven't I need to find the inerts. But yeah,
I need to go through the inness. But all the
(35:44):
other clock parts and I just you know, it's a
part of Dad I want to keep, but I'm not
using it in it It smells up, you know, it
kind of smells all you know, the basement. You know,
I don't have a lot of moisture, but it's got
that musty smell. Anyway, anyway, go on, so.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I'll let you. I've been doing all the talking. Yeah, Glenn,
why don't you finish up with Rick, and I believe
that hypnosis works on like zoom and maybe you can
actually maybe Glenn can actually help you himself.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
I don't know, Rick, if you want to, if you
want to reach out, you can go to my website
or my Instagram. Instagram is hYP No Underscore Glenn with
two ends.
Speaker 15 (36:26):
I write that real fast.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Yeah, hYP No like hypnosis underscore hYP.
Speaker 15 (36:33):
No Hypno h y Po beach like.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Okay, just sure Hype underscore Glenn g l E n N.
Speaker 15 (36:45):
G l E and and thank you. I appreciate that,
and I'll work on it.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
I used to.
Speaker 15 (36:50):
I've been able to do some of it in the
past three years, maybe about twenty five percent by putting
a rock wricking on that I've never heard before. I
like to listen to I've never I've never heard, and
just working on stuff for until the end of the record,
maybe continuing. But I know if I could do five
minutes a day, no matter what, every day, five minutes,
it'll extend into more each day. But that has to
(37:12):
be the deal. It can't be won two hours once
a week because then I won't do it.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Okay, you guys, we have to get to Laurie.
Speaker 15 (37:19):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
We got it.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Thank you very much. Now, I guess it's the perfect
time to break And yes, Laurie and Melrose, I see you,
and I see Florence and Groveland. We'll have time for
you after this. On WBZ.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Glenn Rutman, hypno therapist, has generously agreed to be with us,
and we had a wonderful talk with Rick about his situation.
And now we're going to go to Laurie and Melrose. Hello,
Laurie and Melrose, say hello to Glenn.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
Yes, Hi, I wanted to bring up something yet it
might happen in my family that was very helpful, that
might be helpful to other people, and you obviously can
come on on it. She was a nurse and a
doctorate degree in nursing and her daughter needed a kidney
and she was giving her kidney to her daughter, so
she went to a hypnosuraphist beforehand that she wanted to
(38:20):
cut down on as you wanted to recoup faster and
cut down on bleeding. So I would just starting to
throw that out as something that was very successful.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Oh is that something that is that something that rings
true to you.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Glenn Oh one thousand percent. For example, if you're going
and let's say you have a broken leg, just by visualizing,
using hypnotherapy and letting me help you visualize, that leg
will heal faster, much faster than it would have without it.
There is a lot of power we have to hear,
(39:00):
heel when it comes to using this gift of visualization,
your subconscious mind and your suggestibility. I have I this
hasn't happened yet, but it's gotten closed. I have a
client in Spain who is in a wheelchair and I
have gotten her legs to move. She's not walking yet,
(39:21):
she will walk. Her house is set up like a gym.
If you saw her legs, it looks like a bodybuilder's legs,
even though she can't stand on them because she has
a whole setup. But through suggestions and through her subconscious mind,
I have made her legs move and it was amazing.
So there's some stuff that can be done that's pretty remarkable.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
So what I would to say if I have made
the surgery, I would go to him the therapist before him.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
I could. It's so powerful. Just even this, let me
give you, like, let me give you a real practical example.
Let's take all the magic out of it. If I
I just went to you, if you came to me
and I said, listen, let's do a session on your
outcoming surgery, I'd put you on a hypnosis and say, now,
imagine the surgeon's hands are perfect, they're working, so they
(40:12):
know exactly what to do, where to do it, and
your body responds and it heals. That alone creates such
a beautiful state of confidence going into a surgery that
it just it's like a snowball rolling downhill, but in
a positive way. It just builds so much positive momentum
(40:32):
about what you're going to do, and it's a beautiful thing.
So yes, thank you for mentioning the kidney and the healing.
There is so many ways.
Speaker 5 (40:44):
Doctors agree in nursing. Socialism in the medical field in
no way, and I'm definitely believed in it.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
So all right, thank you, Laurie.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
And next we have Florence in Groveland on WBC.
Speaker 6 (40:59):
Hi Florence, Hi, Bradley. Good Glenn. It's not for me,
but I want to check for a friend of mine.
She gets or his I should say, a lot of
stress and she gets panic attacks, you know what those are,
(41:27):
connect commander hypnosis.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Thank you, Thank you, Florence. We appreciate that. And well
we'll let Glenn tackle that one.
Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yes, yet a panic response. The panic attacks are adrenaline
that build up in the body, and it can come
from a trigger, it can come from a bad memory,
it can come from even blood sugar dropping. So anxiety
and panic attacks are so we can absolutely rewire what
(42:03):
those emotions feel like in your body, so when it
starts coming up, you can actually welcome and let it
pass instead of letting letting it overtake you. It's an amazing,
amazing journey to go on with someone to take them
out of their anxiety and out of their panic, and
(42:25):
it's hugely helpful in this area. Whether they want to
see me or see a local hypnes they should absolutely
go see a hypnotherapist who is comfortable in that area
that has worked with people in this way.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
You know, Thank you, Lawrence. Now let's talk to David
in Draco it Hi.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
David Oither.
Speaker 13 (42:51):
Glenn I had a question on how deep can you
go into psychological or psychiatric problems with people? For example,
a young lady who's sixty eight pounds, so quite sin
but looks in the mirror and thinks she's fat. She
has an eating disorder of some kind. Let's use that
(43:13):
as an example.
Speaker 3 (43:15):
Yes, now here's the thing. Yes, I would love to
love to help people with eating disorders, someone who's anorectic.
I have to do it with the doctor's permission, you
know what I mean, because they are under a medical
care at that point too. There's things that are atoscope
(43:36):
because as a hypnotherapist or a mindset expert so to speak.
You know, I'm not a doctor, right, so I have
to work in conjunction under a physician, which nowadays most
physicians are like, if you can help her, you have
a blessing, you know what I mean. So, yes, the
(43:57):
problem is no matter what you like logically say to
somebody who's anorexic, it doesn't matter. You can put them
in the mirror, you can say look at you and
look at me. You know it's not logically, none of
it matters. It's a subconscious pattern of protection. It's a
subconscious pattern a perceived belief of control. Their life is
(44:20):
so out of control that this is the only thing
I can control. And then the pattern takes over and
they don't know how to get out of it anymore.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
I have observation here. In order for hypnosis to work,
you have to really want it to work. But it
strikes me that anorexic people don't you know, they don't
see themselves as needing to stop. As a matter of fact,
they want to go the other way. They want to
become thinner, So they don't really want to stop what
(44:53):
they're doing because they feel they need to get then
to get even thinner. And so how does it work
if they don't want to stop.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Well, if generally speaking, even though they will admit that
even though they believe that they are fat and they're skinny,
most of them know they have a problem because other
areas of their lives are in disarray. And as long
(45:25):
as they are willing and open to it, you know
what I mean. Obviously, if you throw me in a
room with an anorexic person and they don't want to
be cured, yes, they will reject it and it will
be unsuccessful. I used to do entertainment parties. I did
a several I did a sixteen party and they one
(45:46):
of the girls. They all wanted me to talk to
one of their friends afterwards, and it turns out that
this girl was sixteen and she keeps making herself throw up.
Now she's not anorexic skinny yet, but she's thin. And
I asked her, if I take this away for you
right now, is that something you want? I said, I
can take it away right now, and then she turned
(46:09):
white as a ghost because she wasn't ready to have
it taken away. And so what you said is so
important that if they don't want it, I can't. I'm
not like, it's not like I'm Harry Potter with a
wand that can can take your will over. It's an agreement.
It's a process we do together, you know. So if
(46:31):
they want the help, and hypnotherapy is the absolute most
amazing way to go, you know.
Speaker 2 (46:39):
Well, thank you, David. I hope that was helpful to you.
Take care and goodbye to you. David. All Right, Glenn's
can you run through a short time left some of
the other things that oh, no, this is I have
a key question. Yeah, when I had my hypnotherapy to
quit smoking in person, and I believed in it, but
(47:03):
I really don't believe so much in the online version.
And if I don't believe in the online version. Isn't
that going to hamper the success of the online version
of it?
Speaker 3 (47:17):
Well, that is one of the things that I address.
So if you and I were doing a hypnotherapy session
together and I have you on Zoom, you have headphones on.
Once you close your eyes, there is no difference whether
you are next to me in the room or I'm
on Zoom with you.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Except except your belief. I know that you're not in
the room, correct.
Speaker 3 (47:42):
But what I wouldn't just do a session with you
right now. First we'd have a conversation about it, and
I would I would kind of break down those emotions
that you're feeling, and I would say to you, most
of my clients are not in person. I live in
Los Angeles. I would say ten percent of my clients
(48:02):
are in person. Ninety percent are over zoom because they're
all around the world. And I'm just as effective in
Zoom as a person. I don't need you to believe it.
I'm just asking you to be open to the process.
And then you and I would do a couple fun
imagination games and then you would feel okay, I'm okay
(48:25):
now and I'm ready, and I do believe now this
would work. So yes, your belief system is important and
also it's your experience, right, So if you don't want
the experience over zoom, that's okay, then you know what
I mean. Then either I do have clients that have
(48:45):
flown in to see me, right, or you find somebody
local to you. So I completely understand when you say
like for me, yeah, go.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
On, I just need to say I need to thank
you and say good night because that time is up. Well,
I once again thank you. Yeah, the hour goes quickly,
doesn't it. Thank you, Thank you triple thank you for
being so helpful because I believe that you gave people
some hope and give the quickly give the website or
how to contact you.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
Again and sure so the easiest way. Glenn Rotman's kind
of a long injury. Remember if you think of the
hipno vault dot com.
Speaker 4 (49:24):
Okay, beautiful, that's my website and thank
Speaker 2 (49:27):
You, take care of hope to talk to you, WBZ
