(00:00):
It's night Side with Dan Ray onWBZ Costs New Radio. All right,
I want to welcome back to NightsideGlenn Rotman. Glenn is a certified hypnotherapist.
We spoke with Glenn about a monthago and I just thought that he
(00:22):
was an interesting enough person. Weinterviewed him during the eight o'clock a well,
when we don't take phone calls.I thought it'd be great to bring
him back and give all of youa chance to ask whatever questions you would
like. Glenn Rodman, welcome finallyback to Nightside. Thank you, thank
you joy to be here. Justmaking sure you can hear me clearly.
Our connection is good. I thinkour connection is great. But I'm sure
(00:44):
that our ace producer Rob should havewould have checked that out with you,
and he probably wouldn't have let youon the air if it wasn't that great.
So it's sounds nothing wrong with that, Nothing wrong with that. So,
first of all, for those ofthe audience tonight who might not have
heard you with your when we interviewedyou earlier, exactly what is a hypnotherapist?
(01:07):
I know you and I talked aboutit before. You're not one of
these guys who jumps up on anightclub and puts people under some sort of
hypnosis and has them walking around quackinglike a duck. Right. Well,
that's how I started my career doingentertainment hypnosis because I was just so fascinated.
(01:29):
The thing was, what I liketo do is give people a break
from reality and bring some positivity andfun, and so I started doing that
with stage hypnosis shows. But veryquickly I realized how much more powerful it
is to help people create real changesin their lives in a way that is
(01:51):
supercharged, fun, very quick,and very easy. Okay, so let
me ask you this. How didyou learn to be a stage I'm going
to I want to go right tothe ground floor here. Matter of fact,
we'll go to the basement. Howdid you learn to be a stage
hypnotist? Who did someone teach youthat skill? Yes and no. So
(02:13):
when I was going to traditional hypnotherapyschools, when I we had a stage
hypnotist come and give a demonstration,and then I was like, I really
like what I'm seeing here. Sowhat I did is I had a couple
of mentors, and I went onYouTube, and I bought a couple of
books and I just absorbed myself watchingeverybody else's techniques while developing my own style
(02:38):
of it, so self taught,almost telling me it's almost self taught.
It sort of is, because youknow it's you. It's an art form.
It really is an art form ofone entertaining an audience and with people
on stage, and then two,it's not really hard to hypnotize someone.
(03:00):
The difficulty is what do you dowith somebody when they are in hypnosis?
Do you know what you're doing?Are you going to bring up memories from
the past they're not ready to dealwith? So this is where the experience
comes in, where you have toknow what you're doing when working with people
because you want to help them andnot hurt them by maybe forcing them to
(03:22):
see something they're not ready to dealbut just yet, well, you know,
it's interesting. I forget who saidthis, but someone said that until
you do something for ten thousand hours, yeah, when you get good at
it. Now. I don't knowthat I'm good at it, but I've
been doing this now for well overtwo thousand hours. How do you give
(03:45):
up that background as a stage hypnotistto be as reasonable and as rational as
you are to make sure that you'renot bringing someone up on stage who's going
to be and be, yeah,put themselves in a dangerous situation. Well
at first that you know, thestage hypnotist part was just not being afraid
(04:09):
to fail going up in front ofan audience, learning how to entertain an
audience and hypnotize people on stage becauseyou're kind of running two shows. You
have a show with the people you'rehypnotizing, then you have a show with
the people watching who you're hypnotizing,so you have to balance back and forth.
And the one thing that I learnedreally quickly in doing that is I
(04:32):
shifted immediately into doing change work withpeople in an entertainment setting, which everybody
told me you can't do it.You're not there to do therapy. And
I'm like, you know what,why waste this opportunity. I'm just entertainment
when I can also bring something specialto it. And that's that's really what
(04:56):
set me apart and grew my career. And you know, for stage,
there are very inexperienced people out thereand they can still provide a good show
because generally you're not doing therapy ona stage show. Okay, you're supposed
before we get to therapy, Glennand Night and I do want to We
will get to therapy because that's theimportant part of the conversation. But I
(05:18):
want to come back to the you'rea stage hypnotist. I assume obviously this
is the closer to the beginning ofyour career. You're younger than you are
now. Were the people who wouldwould come up out of the audience and
did you get to the point whereyou would say, this person is not
(05:38):
amenable to being hypnotized, or literally, if someone raises their hands and volunteers
to come up, do you knowat that point that that person, maybe
because they're willing to walk up onstage and submit themselves, that they are
amenable hypnosis. If you get myquestion, it's a great question, and
(05:58):
it's really sick the answer. Thereis no way of knowing how responsive somebody
is until you work with them.It's not a matter of how big you
are, how strong you are,if you're smart or not so smart,
or you know what I mean.There's no physical trait until you start doing
(06:19):
some testing with their imagination. Now, ultimately, anytime you see a stage
show, maybe at college or Vegasor the fair, let's say you have
twenty chairs, You're always going topull a few people off stage, either
one because they're just distracted because they'reaware of people looking at them, or
too not everybody is a high respondertoo. That entertainment kind of street kind
(06:44):
of stage hypnosis work. Okay,you lost me there when you say you
pull them off stage? What youlost me there? Yeah. So let's
say if I have twenty chairs onstage in front of a big audience,
we'll bring twenty people uptcha the inductionprocess of hypnotizing or relaxing people, I'll
have to take a few people offthe stage because I could see they weren't
(07:08):
responding and they weren't going into thathypnotic state. Okay, so you're looking
for there are some people who areso nervous that they cannot relax, and
if they cannot relax, they arenot amenable to being hypnotized, is what
I'm hearing you say. In thatenvironment? Yeah, yeah, okay,
(07:29):
that's not a normal environment. Yah, yes, it's different. And did
you when you when you were againa stage hypnotist, did you invite people
up to the stage or was itmore successful for you to sort of walk
amongst the people and maybe make someobservations, and you could you could make
an educated guess as to if thatperson or that person would be more amenable.
(07:54):
And you know, obviously you're successfulif you can if you can put
them in a hypnotic state. Yeah. So the best way is when I
get to work with an audience andhave them do what we call suggestibility or
imagination tests. And when I dothat, it's like those little mental games
you play. Then I can spotthe people very easily that are most highly
(08:18):
receptive. And then we're going togo to break. Give me an example
of what the test would do,something like, I'll have them imagine their
hands. They put their hands outin front of them, and they close
their eyes and it's like their lefthand and right hands hard to get a
magnetic pool. When their hands touch, I have their fingers interlock and become
(08:39):
tighter and tighter. Then I'll saysomething like when I count from three to
one, your hands will become sotight that the more you try to move
them, the more stiff and richardthey become. And then I'll do something.
Now, now, once you realizeyour hands are stuck, hold them
in the air so that I knowthat you know you're experiencing it, and
(09:00):
then we'll take it to the nextlevel. Now, when you open your
eyes, you'll realize your hands nolonger belong to you, and they'll be
literally with their eyes open, theirhands in here, stuck together, and
I know they will all be highlysuggestible to the entertainments. That's the best
way, all right. When weget back to the grape from the break,
(09:20):
we're going to move you from stagehypnotist to a two therapist hypno therapist
get that word correctly, Dan,and talk about what you can do and
what you can achieve in order tohelp people. And if anyone has a
(09:41):
question, I would like to jointhe conversation, or if you have undergone
hypnosis therapy and like to share sixone seven two fast four ten thirty or
six one seven nine three one tenthirty. My guest is Glenn Rotman.
Glenn is a hip AS certified hypnotherapist, and we had him on the
(10:01):
eight o'clock hour about a month ago, and I just thought, I've never
really talked to a hypnotherapist, andI wanted you to have an opportunity to
talk to him, him or heras well. In this case, it's
a hymn, and we'll be backwith more conversation and more phone calls again,
just changing it up a little bit. Obviously, last hour we talked
about the president's news conference and thedilemma that the Democrats find themselves in,
(10:24):
and we'll get back to that lateron tonight, but this is an hour
where we can let our imaginations runwide run and ask some questions. We
try to do a different show everynight. That's the form of entertainment that
we provide, and I hope youfind it acceptable. Back on Night's Side
right after this. Now back toDan ray Line from the Window World night
(10:46):
Side Studios on w b Z thenews radio go on. We got a
bunch of callers, which I'm notsurprised at, and we're going to try
to get to them very quickly.So Wayne and in Framing him, and
Wayne and Brock him and John andBoston. Just guys, sit, sit
type for a minute or two andwe'll get right to you. The only
line that is still open is sixone seven nine three ten thirty. If
(11:07):
you're out there and you're getting abusy signal, try six one seven nine
thirty. So hypnotherapist, just giveus a list of the things that you
can work on through your skill setto help people improve their lives. So
I'll give We'll start with the basicsand go to things that people would not
(11:28):
expect. Okay, the basics.We think of our fear of snakes,
overcomes smoking, fear of flying,you know, typical fears and phobias,
and minor addictions or even major addictions, things that people may not realize.
Hypnotherapy is laser effective with things likepost traumatic stress, things like overcoming life
(11:52):
events that really affected you in anegative way, like overcoming a divorce or
a relationship, or you really wantedthis in your life. You work so
hard and it didn't happen. Nowyou feel stuck. And it's amazing in
those areas. And when it comesto you know, success, like yourself,
(12:16):
Dan, you do something very verywell, and you do something most
people don't get to do, whichis your work, is your passion,
and you love this. It shows. But what makes somebody successful versus not
successful? There are like limitations inour thinking are what separate those two things.
(12:37):
Quite often, and we don't havethe confidence or courage to try things
out of our comfort zone to besuccessful. And so hypnotherapy is amazing in
those areas, creating new beliefs,giving people courage to move forward and let
go of some of those limitations.All right, let's get some phone calls
(13:01):
here. I love to incorporate callers. I have a million questions, but
my callers are a big part ofthis program. Whatever success I have is
much more attributable to them than tome. I simply am I think the
conduit in which people can express themselves. So let's go first, off to
Wayne in Framingham. Wayne, welcome, you are first this hour with hypno
(13:24):
therapist. My guest, Glenn Rotman, go right ahead. Thank you for
taking my call again. Hello,Len, how are you amazing? Amazing?
I'm glad to hear it. Manymany years ago, my dad,
who was a physician, had afriend who was a physician, and this
friend retired and went into hypnottest nota therapy, and I went to him
for smoking. I was a heavysmoker. I walked into his office smoke
(13:48):
pack and a half a day smoker, and I walked out of there and
I never had another cigarette again.I never had the desire for another cigarette
again. It was remarkable. Tothis day, I have no clue what
happened in that office. But itworks, But it works, And how
many sessions were involved? I didone time. One time, Glenn,
(14:09):
you want to try to help Wayneunderstand maybe what he was subjected to,
just obviously you give him an exactplay by play, but give them what
you think might have happened. Yeah. Well, Dan, you're when you
are responsive and open to it.Some people are higher responders than others,
(14:30):
and in one session we can getwhat I call the hypno miracle. I've
had many people that one session smokedtwo packs a day. They never craved
it again. It was the easiestthing they've ever done. Now does that
happen with everybody? I wish Icould say it did. But for those
that don't respond the way that youdid, it becomes a little bit more
(14:52):
of a repetition where we do somereinforcements. We get them there, but
it just depends one how how readyyou are, how receptive you are.
And I was really ready to quitat that time. I was ready to
quit at that high. And nowI have weight issues and stress issues and
I wanted was late to see youto start working on those issues a little
(15:13):
bit. Sure, it is loveto follow. Yeah, well, if
it helped you in this area,it will definitely help you in the area.
Now. I do work with clientsone on one for a weight loss
and stress, and I also havemy online community called the hip no Vault,
which were sessions that I created togive you the same experience as working
(15:39):
with me one on one, andsome people do a combination of both they
joined the online hYP no Vault.I have something called Master Your Weight Loss,
which is a whole weight loss programbecause what tended to happen for me
is especially in weight loss, Iwas doing the same sessions over and over
again because they were really effective.So then I decided I had to just
(16:00):
make video hypnotherapy sessions out of them. So yeah, we can definitely.
If you go to my site,the hypnovaults dot com, you can book
a consultation with me. We cantalk directly, and or you can check
out my online sessions first or anycombination. But because you responded so well
(16:22):
to smoking, it will still translatein these other areas. And for stress,
we have to get you into apractice of meditation and it's so healthy
and for many people it might seemforeign to do that at first, but
kind of once you experience how thatresets you. It's the perfect way to
(16:45):
combat stress anxiety and just give youa better experience in your life. That
sounds wonderful. I will definitely contactyou via email and set up a time
with you vault. I guess that'sall one word, the hypno vault dot
com. So, uh, that'sthe luck Wayne, and let me know
(17:06):
how it works out some night.And I hope it's going to work out
great for you because it's a thrillfor me to think that I can put
someone together who needs some help onsomething, uh, with a person who
has the ability to help them.I'm on it that you listen to my
program, and I hope it worksfor you. And I want to know
(17:26):
what I want. I hope tohear from you someday and you can tell
me that it did work. Okay, I will. I will do that.
Thank you, Dan, thank you. I appreciate it. You got
it, amazing you. So nowwhat happens here is all the calls then
go down from here because no onegets any no only kidding. That's a
great call. It's a great wayto start it. We've got to take
a quick news break here at thebottom of the hour. My guest is

(19:15):
Nightside right after this, it's Nightsidewith Dan Ray on Boston's News Radio.
All right, my guest Glenn Rodman, he's a hypnote therapist. Let's get
back to the call is going togo to Wayne in Brockton. Wayne and
Brockton, welcome, how are yousir? Good evening, gentlemen, Dan
(19:37):
and Glenn, And I want youto know Wayne. I want you to
know Glenn that Wayne and Brockton isalso an entertainer. However, in full
disclosure, and we're all adults,I'm an entertainer that suffers from social anxiety.
Sometimes after being in front of amillion people over my life, sometimes
(20:02):
I still get those little jitters.And what I've learned in my decades of
reading and research and what have you, and even more so recently, is
that word trigger and not so muchwith addiction, even though I'm sure that
addiction and phobias have a commonality somewherethere. But with my understanding of fears
(20:33):
is that it's all linked back toone episode in life, the same as
everything else in life. My lovefor chocolate, your love for this,
it all goes back to the veryfirst time we had that hershey bar when
we were two years old, andevery time after that, more links were
added to the chain, and thesame would go with a fear of whatever
(20:57):
it is. But what I've learnedis you have to You can do all
the therapy, this, that,and everything for a particular incident or stimulus
or whatever's going to trigger that anxiety, but if you don't recognize and address
the initial incident or episode, thenit's still going to be underlying and it's
(21:23):
still going to be there, youknow what I mean. And I'm wondering
if hypnotherapy is it through repeated sessionsthat eventually you will get back to that
catalyst that has led through decades ofyou know, whatever, your situation.
Is that makes sense? That's no, it makes perfect sense. And that's
(21:45):
a wonderful question. And I havean answered. I have the exact answer
for this. So do I haveto give you my freendic card? Though
not right now. No. Experiencedhypnotherapists and unexperienced teachers had a belief that
(22:06):
you have to go to the rootcause of a problem in order to fix
the problem. And is it niceto get the root cause? Yes?
Does the root cause mean it's goingto go away? No, it is
not necessary to find the root causeof when something started. In certain circumstances,
(22:29):
it's helpful. The way we approachit is we bring up that there's
many ways to process. But theidea is, let's identify the feeling you're
experiencing now, okay, and thenlet's create a version of yourself feeling being
acting and experiencing it the way youwant it to be. And then we
(22:52):
literally switch those patterns in your subconsciousnessand we and then now, sometimes that
can happen in a session, ina quick instant. Other times we have
to reinforce that pattern, repeating ita few times till it takes root in
your mind. So let me realquick. So this is this is while
(23:15):
you're in the hypnotic state that thatswitcherou takes place. Yes, you're you're
changing the bag of hypnosis, andthen in hypnosis we make we make that
literally the switch correct. Okay,Yeah, and that's it's a beautiful thing
(23:37):
because if you don't have to sometimes, you know, when it comes to
traditional therapy or untrained hypnotherapists, sometimesif you dig up too much in the
past, you don't stop digging.It's a rabbit hole. You keep digging
bigger and bigger, and it's notnecessary. What's necessary is to identify,
(23:59):
you know, the feeling you're having, now, create the new feeling you
want, and then let's switch thatpattern in hypnotherapy. So even though that
the original, even though the originalepisode is still deep down somewhere, doesn't
that mean that you know, thecan the cancer hasn't been cured and that
(24:22):
it's still liable to resurface. Absolutelynot. It's not necessary. Yeah,
because I've been doing this a longlong time and I don't go for the
root cause I go for the connectionto the emotions. Yeah, yeah,
you feeling the hypno vault, thehypno vault dot com correct, correct,
(24:48):
but you you know, you bringus a very valid point. So that
is the way we thought about therapyfor a long time. And the thing
is when we think back about thepast, our mind naturally delete and distort
and change information. That's why wedon't use hypnotherapy in court cases to do
(25:11):
a regression and try to remember whathappened, because we delete and distort.
So very likely going back to theroot cause, your mind deleted and distorted
it anyhow, So the root causeis always reliable. Does that make sense?
Yes? And real quick. Sowhat you're doing is you're putting like
(25:33):
a railroad track, you know onTV when they make that switch and the
railroad will go the other way.You're putting that link or that junction somewhere
on that chain where when you startto go back, it links into a
different direction. Absolutely said beautifully thereit is beautifully Wow. Yeah, all
(25:56):
right, awesome. I'm gonna goon your website. Thank you guys,
look forward to hearing for you.Thanks for calling in. It's such great
conversations. For two Glenn, let'sgo to John and Boston. Hey,
John, you're next on Nightside withGlenn Rotman. A hypnotherapist John go right
in. Yeah, thank you,Dan, thank you, Glenn. I
(26:17):
was just curious about, uh,you know PTSD, childhood PTSD, complex
PTSD, it's called if you're familiarwith that, Like, there's a guy
in Boston who's written a book calledBody Keeps a Score, and the body
is where all this stuff gets stored. And yeah, I'm in recovery for
(26:37):
this stuff. But I just wonderedabout if you're familiar with dealing with childhood
or complex PTSD, which is like, you know, eighteen years of being
subjected, if you're in a dysfunctionalenvironment of alcoholism, whatever, you know.
So absolutely so. I've worked alot. For a lot of my
(26:59):
career, I worked in rehab centershelping people recover from addiction, and a
big part of that addiction was releasingtrauma from the past. Now here's the
good news. We don't have torelive those childhood experiences in order to change
the emotional connection to those because that'sanother rabbit hole. The last thing I
(27:22):
want you to do is go througheach emotion in each memory of your past.
There's different ways we do this,but one way is sometimes with certain
people, and this is why thereis a talk aspect to hypno therapy because
it is therapy. You know.Sometimes I will take somebody and basically we
(27:45):
just say goodbye to that hurt childand the experiences of that hurt child,
and we realize that, you knowwhat, we can't wish for a better
past. Now when I'm talking aboutit right now, I know it doesn't
sound that epic, but in thecontext of a guided hypnotherapy session, it
(28:07):
is incredibly powerful sometimes just to saygoodbye to all of it. Other times,
what we do is we do what'scalled somatic therapy, because you're right,
our body does store traumatic memories insideof it, quite literally in your
physical body, and so we'll dosome things like, you know, bringing
(28:30):
up a feeling you have repeated inyour life. Now bring up that traumatic
feeling, not necessarily the experience,but the feeling where is it in your
body? And then we do sometechniques, some breathing and some hypno therapy
visualizations to release it from that areain your body that is freeing and healing
(28:53):
and it never affects you the sameway. Then other times we'll do things
like go back in a disassociated state, almost like you're watching it on a
movie screen like it's happening to someoneelse and not you, and we go
back and we find the learnings thatwill allow you to let go of the
(29:17):
emotional experience. So it's not justone technique, but the one that we
find it is so healing and itis so fast. It is lightning fast
and freeing. And so those aresome of the approaches that I do with
PTSD, And even in my hypnobauld, I do have one session specifically
(29:40):
labeled saying goodbye the childhood trauma,and that's when we bring up your past
and let that child go versus goingthrough every scenario, you know what I
mean. So does it help alittle bit? Did I answer the question?
Yeah, that's very hopeful. Yeah. And I've heard of the somatic.
I mean, for example, Ihave sorias, and I know that's
a touch of it, and Iknow that's autoimmune and all that stuff is
(30:03):
the body attacking itself and everything.But anyway, what's the website I have
a hard time here? Is likea bank vault. Yeah, your vault,
the hypno h Y p n Ovault v A U l T the
hypno vault dot com dot If youdon't get it, send me an email,
(30:25):
or what you can do is holdon and Rob will spell it for
you if you're a little nervous.Okay, so just hold on, don't
hang up, and Rob will giveit to you. Rob the hypno Vault
dot Com. Amazing conversation. We'regoing to be back with more amazing conversation.
My guest Glenn Rodman. He's ahypnotherapist. He is not disappointed tonight.
For sure. I can still geta couple of more folks in if
(30:45):
you would like. We're going tobe talking with Leland on the other side.
I don't know where Elizabeth from Wisconsinleft. Elizabeth, come on back.
Will you will get you on?I promise six one, seven,
two, five four ten thirty sixone seven, nine three one ten.
This is a WBZ in Boston tenthirty on your AM dial. And if
you want to listen to us onthe internet any night, anywhere in the
(31:07):
country, and we have a lotof listeners all over the country because WBZ
is a legacy radio station, wellknown. All you gotta do is you
can listen on WBZ News Radio onthe iHeart Radio app. It's as simple
as that. You can download itfor free the iHeart app coming back on
night Side. If you want todial in right, we'll get room for
(31:29):
a couple more after Leland, ifyou would like join the conversation. At
eleven, we are going to goback to talk more about the dilemma of
the Democrats, the democratic dilemma rightnow do they stick with Joe Biden or
do they move on? And ofcourse tonight there was a news conference in
which I thought the President acquitted himselfpretty well, well enough I think to
hold the hold off those who wantto throw them, not throw them out,
(31:56):
but basically ask him to stand down, but probably not well enough to
stop all of the concerns that alot of national Democrats and Democratic donors have
with him as the presidential candidate,the nominee this fall movie back on Nightside,
you have the number six one,seven, two, five, four
(32:16):
to ten thirty or six one,seven, nine three ten thirty. Yeah.
I've often said to you, theonly dumb question is the question that
you are afraid to ask. Thereis no such thing as a dumb question.
I found out that in law schoola long time ago, because the
question is that I didn't ask inclass. Those are the tough ones.
That came up on the exam.Back on Nightside, right up to this.
(32:38):
Now back to Dan Ray live fromthe Window World Nightside Studios on WBZ
News Radio. Well, let's keeprolling. You're going to go to Leland
in Jamaica. Plaine Leland. You'renext on Nightside with Glenn Rodman, hypno
therapist. Go ahead, Leland.Good evening, Dan, Good evening,
Glenn. My question is how doesone learn how to be? How do
(33:04):
you learn the technique of hypnotism?Sure, I actually went to a college
of hypnotherapy and back the time,it was in person, and it was
a one year program that I took, and that's quite literally how I learned
it. And then that really wasn'tthe end point. That was the starting
(33:27):
point for me. And you know, ever since the world kind of shifted
to online learning, I found myselfvery unhappy with the training that was out
there, and so I actually mademy own trading course called the Foundation Course,
to teach others kind of what Ido and how I do it.
But it's literally, like anything else, it's a skill you can learn,
(33:50):
and hypnotizing somebody is not a hardskill to learn at all. The art
form is what do you do withsomebody when they're in that meditative hypnotic states.
That's where the art comes in.That's where the effectiveness comes in.
I can show you literally, inyou know, one session, the process
of hypnotizing someone. But then it'sit's up to you to kind of refine
(34:15):
it, make it your own andwhat you do when somebody presents an issue,
you know, what's your approach tothat issue? How are you going
to walk them through that process?Now? Is most of its visualization?
What what about? What about that? Is it I have to do with
(34:37):
what one these? Mostly? Well? There we have five representational systems.
We have you know, visual youknow, we have kinesthetic, which is
feeling, and then not so muchused is like the sense of smell or
taste. Hearing, Yes, becauseso the prime area is how we hear,
(35:00):
how we see, and how wefeel. Some people are very visual.
When they close their eyes, theycan see things so clear in their
minds. I cannot do that.I feel I imagine what something would look
like like the feeling of it ifI was to see it, and that
(35:20):
works equally as well. So visualizationto me, it all kind of falls
under visualization. It's really the useof our imagination and sometimes we connect visually,
sometimes we just connect to the feelingof it, and sometimes just the
hearing of it. Does that explainthat a little more? And I'm happy
(35:40):
to dive in deeper. I havea question. Don't jump in here for
one second, Leland. So,of course you're what's called a certified hypnotherapist.
So I assume that means you're certifiedbecause you completed the course at this
college and all that. But areyou licensed in any states? Or is
(36:01):
our hypnotherapist licensed formally licensed? Thenanother amazing question, and the truth is
no, we are not licensed.We are not under a medical board like
a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Weare certified, which basically means you completed
the program. And you know,anybody that's practicing hypnotherapy needs to have insurance.
(36:28):
So I do have liability insurance,both for entertainment seminars and for my
private one on one hypnotherapy work.Absolutely, that's so Leland, go ahead,
quick, quick, final question ortwo go ahead, Leland? Is
is it almost like programming when whenwe walk around when we see people,
(36:52):
everyone has sort of like a secretuh? Ask? Is that related to
hypnotism? Well, when we talkabout programming, we are literally getting programmed
(37:13):
every day of our life, fromwhat we see on commercials, what we
see on TV, what we seeon social media, what we experience for
other people. You know, weform beliefs and emotions, and unless we
kind of filter things out and takecontrol of that, we are affected and
(37:34):
can be affected so negatively by theworld around us without us even being aware
of it. So, yes,hypnotherapy is in a sense a reprogramming of
the subconscious mind. But it's areprogramming you are doing. I'm just giving
you the right words at the righttimes. These are the things that you
want to shift. You like that, I want to feel more joy,
(37:57):
I want to feel more love.I want to be block to negativity from
the outside world. Well, wecreate that shift in your imagination, gentlemen
on that point. Unfortunately, we'reflat out of time. Leland, I
gotta let you go. I thankyou, and I very much thank you,
Glenn. And again, the websitethat people can reach you at is
(38:20):
the hypno Vault all one word,and if anybody doesn't get that, you
can call Rob during the news breakthe hypno Vault dot com. This was

now six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one
seven nine three, one ten thirty. Dan Ray on night Side heading to
(39:29):
the eleven o'clock news
It's night Side with Dan Ray onWBZ Costs New Radio. All right,
I want to welcome back to NightsideGlenn Rotman. Glenn is a certified hypnotherapist.
We spoke with Glenn about a monthago and I just thought that he
(00:22):
was an interesting enough person. Weinterviewed him during the eight o'clock a well,
when we don't take phone calls.I thought it'd be great to bring
him back and give all of youa chance to ask whatever questions you would
like. Glenn Rodman, welcome finallyback to Nightside. Thank you, thank
you joy to be here. Justmaking sure you can hear me clearly.
Our connection is good. I thinkour connection is great. But I'm sure
(00:44):
that our ace producer Rob should havewould have checked that out with you,
and he probably wouldn't have let youon the air if it wasn't that great.
So it's sounds nothing wrong with that, Nothing wrong with that. So,
first of all, for those ofthe audience tonight who might not have
heard you with your when we interviewedyou earlier, exactly what is a hypnotherapist?
(01:07):
I know you and I talked aboutit before. You're not one of
these guys who jumps up on anightclub and puts people under some sort of
hypnosis and has them walking around quackinglike a duck. Right. Well,
that's how I started my career doingentertainment hypnosis because I was just so fascinated.
(01:29):
The thing was, what I liketo do is give people a break
from reality and bring some positivity andfun, and so I started doing that
with stage hypnosis shows. But veryquickly I realized how much more powerful it
is to help people create real changesin their lives in a way that is
(01:51):
supercharged, fun, very quick,and very easy. Okay, so let
me ask you this. How didyou learn to be a stage I'm going
to I want to go right tothe ground floor here. Matter of fact,
we'll go to the basement. Howdid you learn to be a stage
hypnotist? Who did someone teach youthat skill? Yes and no. So
(02:13):
when I was going to traditional hypnotherapyschools, when I we had a stage
hypnotist come and give a demonstration,and then I was like, I really
like what I'm seeing here. Sowhat I did is I had a couple
of mentors, and I went onYouTube, and I bought a couple of
books and I just absorbed myself watchingeverybody else's techniques while developing my own style
(02:38):
of it, so self taught,almost telling me it's almost self taught.
It sort of is, because youknow it's you. It's an art form.
It really is an art form ofone entertaining an audience and with people
on stage, and then two,it's not really hard to hypnotize someone.
(03:00):
The difficulty is what do you dowith somebody when they are in hypnosis?
Do you know what you're doing?Are you going to bring up memories from
the past they're not ready to dealwith? So this is where the experience
comes in, where you have toknow what you're doing when working with people
because you want to help them andnot hurt them by maybe forcing them to
(03:22):
see something they're not ready to dealbut just yet, well, you know,
it's interesting. I forget who saidthis, but someone said that until
you do something for ten thousand hours, yeah, when you get good at
it. Now. I don't knowthat I'm good at it, but I've
been doing this now for well overtwo thousand hours. How do you give
(03:45):
up that background as a stage hypnotistto be as reasonable and as rational as
you are to make sure that you'renot bringing someone up on stage who's going
to be and be, yeah,put themselves in a dangerous situation. Well
at first that you know, thestage hypnotist part was just not being afraid
(04:09):
to fail going up in front ofan audience, learning how to entertain an
audience and hypnotize people on stage becauseyou're kind of running two shows. You
have a show with the people you'rehypnotizing, then you have a show with
the people watching who you're hypnotizing,so you have to balance back and forth.
And the one thing that I learnedreally quickly in doing that is I
(04:32):
shifted immediately into doing change work withpeople in an entertainment setting, which everybody
told me you can't do it.You're not there to do therapy. And
I'm like, you know what,why waste this opportunity. I'm just entertainment
when I can also bring something specialto it. And that's that's really what
(04:56):
set me apart and grew my career. And you know, for stage,
there are very inexperienced people out thereand they can still provide a good show
because generally you're not doing therapy ona stage show. Okay, you're supposed
before we get to therapy, Glennand Night and I do want to We
will get to therapy because that's theimportant part of the conversation. But I
(05:18):
want to come back to the you'rea stage hypnotist. I assume obviously this
is the closer to the beginning ofyour career. You're younger than you are
now. Were the people who wouldwould come up out of the audience and
did you get to the point whereyou would say, this person is not
(05:38):
amenable to being hypnotized, or literally, if someone raises their hands and volunteers
to come up, do you knowat that point that that person, maybe
because they're willing to walk up onstage and submit themselves, that they are
amenable hypnosis. If you get myquestion, it's a great question, and
(05:58):
it's really sick the answer. Thereis no way of knowing how responsive somebody
is until you work with them.It's not a matter of how big you
are, how strong you are,if you're smart or not so smart,
or you know what I mean.There's no physical trait until you start doing
(06:19):
some testing with their imagination. Now, ultimately, anytime you see a stage
show, maybe at college or Vegasor the fair, let's say you have
twenty chairs, You're always going topull a few people off stage, either
one because they're just distracted because they'reaware of people looking at them, or
too not everybody is a high respondertoo. That entertainment kind of street kind
(06:44):
of stage hypnosis work. Okay,you lost me there when you say you
pull them off stage? What youlost me there? Yeah. So let's
say if I have twenty chairs onstage in front of a big audience,
we'll bring twenty people uptcha the inductionprocess of hypnotizing or relaxing people, I'll
have to take a few people offthe stage because I could see they weren't
(07:08):
responding and they weren't going into thathypnotic state. Okay, so you're looking
for there are some people who areso nervous that they cannot relax, and
if they cannot relax, they arenot amenable to being hypnotized, is what
I'm hearing you say. In thatenvironment? Yeah, yeah, okay,
(07:29):
that's not a normal environment. Yah, yes, it's different. And did
you when you when you were againa stage hypnotist, did you invite people
up to the stage or was itmore successful for you to sort of walk
amongst the people and maybe make someobservations, and you could you could make
an educated guess as to if thatperson or that person would be more amenable.
(07:54):
And you know, obviously you're successfulif you can if you can put
them in a hypnotic state. Yeah. So the best way is when I
get to work with an audience andhave them do what we call suggestibility or
imagination tests. And when I dothat, it's like those little mental games
you play. Then I can spotthe people very easily that are most highly
(08:18):
receptive. And then we're going togo to break. Give me an example
of what the test would do,something like, I'll have them imagine their
hands. They put their hands outin front of them, and they close
their eyes and it's like their lefthand and right hands hard to get a
magnetic pool. When their hands touch, I have their fingers interlock and become
(08:39):
tighter and tighter. Then I'll saysomething like when I count from three to
one, your hands will become sotight that the more you try to move
them, the more stiff and richardthey become. And then I'll do something.
Now, now, once you realizeyour hands are stuck, hold them
in the air so that I knowthat you know you're experiencing it, and
(09:00):
then we'll take it to the nextlevel. Now, when you open your
eyes, you'll realize your hands nolonger belong to you, and they'll be
literally with their eyes open, theirhands in here, stuck together, and
I know they will all be highlysuggestible to the entertainments. That's the best
way, all right. When weget back to the grape from the break,
(09:20):
we're going to move you from stagehypnotist to a two therapist hypno therapist
get that word correctly, Dan,and talk about what you can do and
what you can achieve in order tohelp people. And if anyone has a
(09:41):
question, I would like to jointhe conversation, or if you have undergone
hypnosis therapy and like to share sixone seven two fast four ten thirty or
six one seven nine three one tenthirty. My guest is Glenn Rotman.
Glenn is a hip AS certified hypnotherapist, and we had him on the
(10:01):
eight o'clock hour about a month ago, and I just thought, I've never
really talked to a hypnotherapist, andI wanted you to have an opportunity to
talk to him, him or heras well. In this case, it's
a hymn, and we'll be backwith more conversation and more phone calls again,
just changing it up a little bit. Obviously, last hour we talked
about the president's news conference and thedilemma that the Democrats find themselves in,
(10:24):
and we'll get back to that lateron tonight, but this is an hour
where we can let our imaginations runwide run and ask some questions. We
try to do a different show everynight. That's the form of entertainment that
we provide, and I hope youfind it acceptable. Back on Night's Side
right after this. Now back toDan ray Line from the Window World night
(10:46):
Side Studios on w b Z thenews radio go on. We got a
bunch of callers, which I'm notsurprised at, and we're going to try
to get to them very quickly.So Wayne and in Framing him, and
Wayne and Brock him and John andBoston. Just guys, sit, sit
type for a minute or two andwe'll get right to you. The only
line that is still open is sixone seven nine three ten thirty. If
(11:07):
you're out there and you're getting abusy signal, try six one seven nine
thirty. So hypnotherapist, just giveus a list of the things that you
can work on through your skill setto help people improve their lives. So
I'll give We'll start with the basicsand go to things that people would not
(11:28):
expect. Okay, the basics.We think of our fear of snakes,
overcomes smoking, fear of flying,you know, typical fears and phobias,
and minor addictions or even major addictions, things that people may not realize.
Hypnotherapy is laser effective with things likepost traumatic stress, things like overcoming life
(11:52):
events that really affected you in anegative way, like overcoming a divorce or
a relationship, or you really wantedthis in your life. You work so
hard and it didn't happen. Nowyou feel stuck. And it's amazing in
those areas. And when it comesto you know, success, like yourself,
(12:16):
Dan, you do something very verywell, and you do something most
people don't get to do, whichis your work, is your passion,
and you love this. It shows. But what makes somebody successful versus not
successful? There are like limitations inour thinking are what separate those two things.
(12:37):
Quite often, and we don't havethe confidence or courage to try things
out of our comfort zone to besuccessful. And so hypnotherapy is amazing in
those areas, creating new beliefs,giving people courage to move forward and let
go of some of those limitations.All right, let's get some phone calls
(13:01):
here. I love to incorporate callers. I have a million questions, but
my callers are a big part ofthis program. Whatever success I have is
much more attributable to them than tome. I simply am I think the
conduit in which people can express themselves. So let's go first, off to
Wayne in Framingham. Wayne, welcome, you are first this hour with hypno
(13:24):
therapist. My guest, Glenn Rotman, go right ahead. Thank you for
taking my call again. Hello,Len, how are you amazing? Amazing?
I'm glad to hear it. Manymany years ago, my dad,
who was a physician, had afriend who was a physician, and this
friend retired and went into hypnottest nota therapy, and I went to him
for smoking. I was a heavysmoker. I walked into his office smoke
(13:48):
pack and a half a day smoker, and I walked out of there and
I never had another cigarette again.I never had the desire for another cigarette
again. It was remarkable. Tothis day, I have no clue what
happened in that office. But itworks, But it works, And how
many sessions were involved? I didone time. One time, Glenn,
(14:09):
you want to try to help Wayneunderstand maybe what he was subjected to,
just obviously you give him an exactplay by play, but give them what
you think might have happened. Yeah. Well, Dan, you're when you
are responsive and open to it.Some people are higher responders than others,
(14:30):
and in one session we can getwhat I call the hypno miracle. I've
had many people that one session smokedtwo packs a day. They never craved
it again. It was the easiestthing they've ever done. Now does that
happen with everybody? I wish Icould say it did. But for those
that don't respond the way that youdid, it becomes a little bit more
(14:52):
of a repetition where we do somereinforcements. We get them there, but
it just depends one how how readyyou are, how receptive you are.
And I was really ready to quitat that time. I was ready to
quit at that high. And nowI have weight issues and stress issues and
I wanted was late to see youto start working on those issues a little
(15:13):
bit. Sure, it is loveto follow. Yeah, well, if
it helped you in this area,it will definitely help you in the area.
Now. I do work with clientsone on one for a weight loss
and stress, and I also havemy online community called the hip no Vault,
which were sessions that I created togive you the same experience as working
(15:39):
with me one on one, andsome people do a combination of both they
joined the online hYP no Vault.I have something called Master Your Weight Loss,
which is a whole weight loss programbecause what tended to happen for me
is especially in weight loss, Iwas doing the same sessions over and over
again because they were really effective.So then I decided I had to just
(16:00):
make video hypnotherapy sessions out of them. So yeah, we can definitely.
If you go to my site,the hypnovaults dot com, you can book
a consultation with me. We cantalk directly, and or you can check
out my online sessions first or anycombination. But because you responded so well
(16:22):
to smoking, it will still translatein these other areas. And for stress,
we have to get you into apractice of meditation and it's so healthy
and for many people it might seemforeign to do that at first, but
kind of once you experience how thatresets you. It's the perfect way to
(16:45):
combat stress anxiety and just give youa better experience in your life. That
sounds wonderful. I will definitely contactyou via email and set up a time
with you vault. I guess that'sall one word, the hypno vault dot
com. So, uh, that'sthe luck Wayne, and let me know
(17:06):
how it works out some night.And I hope it's going to work out
great for you because it's a thrillfor me to think that I can put
someone together who needs some help onsomething, uh, with a person who
has the ability to help them.I'm on it that you listen to my
program, and I hope it worksfor you. And I want to know
(17:26):
what I want. I hope tohear from you someday and you can tell
me that it did work. Okay, I will. I will do that.
Thank you, Dan, thank you. I appreciate it. You got
it, amazing you. So nowwhat happens here is all the calls then
go down from here because no onegets any no only kidding. That's a
great call. It's a great wayto start it. We've got to take
a quick news break here at thebottom of the hour. My guest is
(17:47):
Glenn Rodman. He's a hypnotherapist.I have one line open at six one
seven, two five four ten thirty, and I have one line at six

those other lines, you'll be guaranteedas well. This is what we do
(18:08):
on Nightside. I love to putpeople together, good people. And having
spoken with Glenn last month, Ijust felt awfully good, as I do
now about his approach and what he'sdoing. And I will never present a
guest to you that is someone whoI do not have confidence in anyway.
Now, having said that, I'mdelighted with how we've started. We'll take
(18:30):

(19:15):
Nightside right after this, it's Nightsidewith Dan Ray on Boston's News Radio.
All right, my guest Glenn Rodman, he's a hypnote therapist. Let's get
back to the call is going togo to Wayne in Brockton. Wayne and
Brockton, welcome, how are yousir? Good evening, gentlemen, Dan
(19:37):
and Glenn, And I want youto know Wayne. I want you to
know Glenn that Wayne and Brockton isalso an entertainer. However, in full
disclosure, and we're all adults,I'm an entertainer that suffers from social anxiety.
Sometimes after being in front of amillion people over my life, sometimes
(20:02):
I still get those little jitters.And what I've learned in my decades of
reading and research and what have you, and even more so recently, is
that word trigger and not so muchwith addiction, even though I'm sure that
addiction and phobias have a commonality somewherethere. But with my understanding of fears
(20:33):
is that it's all linked back toone episode in life, the same as
everything else in life. My lovefor chocolate, your love for this,
it all goes back to the veryfirst time we had that hershey bar when
we were two years old, andevery time after that, more links were
added to the chain, and thesame would go with a fear of whatever
(20:57):
it is. But what I've learnedis you have to You can do all
the therapy, this, that,and everything for a particular incident or stimulus
or whatever's going to trigger that anxiety, but if you don't recognize and address
the initial incident or episode, thenit's still going to be underlying and it's
(21:23):
still going to be there, youknow what I mean. And I'm wondering
if hypnotherapy is it through repeated sessionsthat eventually you will get back to that
catalyst that has led through decades ofyou know, whatever, your situation.
Is that makes sense? That's no, it makes perfect sense. And that's
(21:45):
a wonderful question. And I havean answered. I have the exact answer
for this. So do I haveto give you my freendic card? Though
not right now. No. Experiencedhypnotherapists and unexperienced teachers had a belief that
(22:06):
you have to go to the rootcause of a problem in order to fix
the problem. And is it niceto get the root cause? Yes?
Does the root cause mean it's goingto go away? No, it is
not necessary to find the root causeof when something started. In certain circumstances,
(22:29):
it's helpful. The way we approachit is we bring up that there's
many ways to process. But theidea is, let's identify the feeling you're
experiencing now, okay, and thenlet's create a version of yourself feeling being
acting and experiencing it the way youwant it to be. And then we
(22:52):
literally switch those patterns in your subconsciousnessand we and then now, sometimes that
can happen in a session, ina quick instant. Other times we have
to reinforce that pattern, repeating ita few times till it takes root in
your mind. So let me realquick. So this is this is while
(23:15):
you're in the hypnotic state that thatswitcherou takes place. Yes, you're you're
changing the bag of hypnosis, andthen in hypnosis we make we make that
literally the switch correct. Okay,Yeah, and that's it's a beautiful thing
(23:37):
because if you don't have to sometimes, you know, when it comes to
traditional therapy or untrained hypnotherapists, sometimesif you dig up too much in the
past, you don't stop digging.It's a rabbit hole. You keep digging
bigger and bigger, and it's notnecessary. What's necessary is to identify,
(23:59):
you know, the feeling you're having, now, create the new feeling you
want, and then let's switch thatpattern in hypnotherapy. So even though that
the original, even though the originalepisode is still deep down somewhere, doesn't
that mean that you know, thecan the cancer hasn't been cured and that
(24:22):
it's still liable to resurface. Absolutelynot. It's not necessary. Yeah,
because I've been doing this a longlong time and I don't go for the
root cause I go for the connectionto the emotions. Yeah, yeah,
you feeling the hypno vault, thehypno vault dot com correct, correct,
(24:48):
but you you know, you bringus a very valid point. So that
is the way we thought about therapyfor a long time. And the thing
is when we think back about thepast, our mind naturally delete and distort
and change information. That's why wedon't use hypnotherapy in court cases to do
(25:11):
a regression and try to remember whathappened, because we delete and distort.
So very likely going back to theroot cause, your mind deleted and distorted
it anyhow, So the root causeis always reliable. Does that make sense?
Yes? And real quick. Sowhat you're doing is you're putting like
(25:33):
a railroad track, you know onTV when they make that switch and the
railroad will go the other way.You're putting that link or that junction somewhere
on that chain where when you startto go back, it links into a
different direction. Absolutely said beautifully thereit is beautifully Wow. Yeah, all
(25:56):
right, awesome. I'm gonna goon your website. Thank you guys,
look forward to hearing for you.Thanks for calling in. It's such great
conversations. For two Glenn, let'sgo to John and Boston. Hey,
John, you're next on Nightside withGlenn Rotman. A hypnotherapist John go right
in. Yeah, thank you,Dan, thank you, Glenn. I
(26:17):
was just curious about, uh,you know PTSD, childhood PTSD, complex
PTSD, it's called if you're familiarwith that, Like, there's a guy
in Boston who's written a book calledBody Keeps a Score, and the body
is where all this stuff gets stored. And yeah, I'm in recovery for
(26:37):
this stuff. But I just wonderedabout if you're familiar with dealing with childhood
or complex PTSD, which is like, you know, eighteen years of being
subjected, if you're in a dysfunctionalenvironment of alcoholism, whatever, you know.
So absolutely so. I've worked alot. For a lot of my
(26:59):
career, I worked in rehab centershelping people recover from addiction, and a
big part of that addiction was releasingtrauma from the past. Now here's the
good news. We don't have torelive those childhood experiences in order to change
the emotional connection to those because that'sanother rabbit hole. The last thing I
(27:22):
want you to do is go througheach emotion in each memory of your past.
There's different ways we do this,but one way is sometimes with certain
people, and this is why thereis a talk aspect to hypno therapy because
it is therapy. You know.Sometimes I will take somebody and basically we
(27:45):
just say goodbye to that hurt childand the experiences of that hurt child,
and we realize that, you knowwhat, we can't wish for a better
past. Now when I'm talking aboutit right now, I know it doesn't
sound that epic, but in thecontext of a guided hypnotherapy session, it
(28:07):
is incredibly powerful sometimes just to saygoodbye to all of it. Other times,
what we do is we do what'scalled somatic therapy, because you're right,
our body does store traumatic memories insideof it, quite literally in your
physical body, and so we'll dosome things like, you know, bringing
(28:30):
up a feeling you have repeated inyour life. Now bring up that traumatic
feeling, not necessarily the experience,but the feeling where is it in your
body? And then we do sometechniques, some breathing and some hypno therapy
visualizations to release it from that areain your body that is freeing and healing
(28:53):
and it never affects you the sameway. Then other times we'll do things
like go back in a disassociated state, almost like you're watching it on a
movie screen like it's happening to someoneelse and not you, and we go
back and we find the learnings thatwill allow you to let go of the
(29:17):
emotional experience. So it's not justone technique, but the one that we
find it is so healing and itis so fast. It is lightning fast
and freeing. And so those aresome of the approaches that I do with
PTSD, And even in my hypnobauld, I do have one session specifically
(29:40):
labeled saying goodbye the childhood trauma,and that's when we bring up your past
and let that child go versus goingthrough every scenario, you know what I
mean. So does it help alittle bit? Did I answer the question?
Yeah, that's very hopeful. Yeah. And I've heard of the somatic.
I mean, for example, Ihave sorias, and I know that's
a touch of it, and Iknow that's autoimmune and all that stuff is
(30:03):
the body attacking itself and everything.But anyway, what's the website I have
a hard time here? Is likea bank vault. Yeah, your vault,
the hypno h Y p n Ovault v A U l T the
hypno vault dot com dot If youdon't get it, send me an email,

This is a WBZ in Boston tenthirty on your AM dial. And if
you want to listen to us onthe internet any night, anywhere in the

a couple more after Leland, ifyou would like join the conversation. At
eleven, we are going to goback to talk more about the dilemma of
the Democrats, the democratic dilemma rightnow do they stick with Joe Biden or
do they move on? And ofcourse tonight there was a news conference in
which I thought the President acquitted himselfpretty well, well enough I think to
hold the hold off those who wantto throw them, not throw them out,
(31:56):
but basically ask him to stand down, but probably not well enough to
stop all of the concerns that alot of national Democrats and Democratic donors have
with him as the presidential candidate,the nominee this fall movie back on Nightside,
you have the number six one,seven, two, five, four
(32:16):
to ten thirty or six one,seven, nine three ten thirty. Yeah.
I've often said to you, theonly dumb question is the question that
you are afraid to ask. Thereis no such thing as a dumb question.
I found out that in law schoola long time ago, because the
question is that I didn't ask inclass. Those are the tough ones.
That came up on the exam.Back on Nightside, right up to this.
(32:38):
Now back to Dan Ray live fromthe Window World Nightside Studios on WBZ
News Radio. Well, let's keeprolling. You're going to go to Leland
in Jamaica. Plaine Leland. You'renext on Nightside with Glenn Rodman, hypno
therapist. Go ahead, Leland.Good evening, Dan, Good evening,
Glenn. My question is how doesone learn how to be? How do
(33:04):
you learn the technique of hypnotism?Sure, I actually went to a college
of hypnotherapy and back the time,it was in person, and it was
a one year program that I took, and that's quite literally how I learned
it. And then that really wasn'tthe end point. That was the starting
(33:27):
point for me. And you know, ever since the world kind of shifted
to online learning, I found myselfvery unhappy with the training that was out
there, and so I actually mademy own trading course called the Foundation Course,
to teach others kind of what Ido and how I do it.
But it's literally, like anything else, it's a skill you can learn,
(33:50):
and hypnotizing somebody is not a hardskill to learn at all. The art
form is what do you do withsomebody when they're in that meditative hypnotic states.
That's where the art comes in.That's where the effectiveness comes in.
I can show you literally, inyou know, one session, the process
of hypnotizing someone. But then it'sit's up to you to kind of refine
(34:15):
it, make it your own andwhat you do when somebody presents an issue,
you know, what's your approach tothat issue? How are you going
to walk them through that process?Now? Is most of its visualization?
What what about? What about that? Is it I have to do with
(34:37):
what one these? Mostly? Well? There we have five representational systems.
We have you know, visual youknow, we have kinesthetic, which is
feeling, and then not so muchused is like the sense of smell or
taste. Hearing, Yes, becauseso the prime area is how we hear,
(35:00):
how we see, and how wefeel. Some people are very visual.
When they close their eyes, theycan see things so clear in their
minds. I cannot do that.I feel I imagine what something would look
like like the feeling of it ifI was to see it, and that
(35:20):
works equally as well. So visualizationto me, it all kind of falls
under visualization. It's really the useof our imagination and sometimes we connect visually,
sometimes we just connect to the feelingof it, and sometimes just the
hearing of it. Does that explainthat a little more? And I'm happy
(35:40):
to dive in deeper. I havea question. Don't jump in here for
one second, Leland. So,of course you're what's called a certified hypnotherapist.
So I assume that means you're certifiedbecause you completed the course at this
college and all that. But areyou licensed in any states? Or is
(36:01):
our hypnotherapist licensed formally licensed? Thenanother amazing question, and the truth is
no, we are not licensed.We are not under a medical board like
a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Weare certified, which basically means you completed
the program. And you know,anybody that's practicing hypnotherapy needs to have insurance.
(36:28):
So I do have liability insurance,both for entertainment seminars and for my
private one on one hypnotherapy work.Absolutely, that's so Leland, go ahead,
quick, quick, final question ortwo go ahead, Leland? Is
is it almost like programming when whenwe walk around when we see people,
(36:52):
everyone has sort of like a secretuh? Ask? Is that related to
hypnotism? Well, when we talkabout programming, we are literally getting programmed
(37:13):
every day of our life, fromwhat we see on commercials, what we
see on TV, what we seeon social media, what we experience for
other people. You know, weform beliefs and emotions, and unless we
kind of filter things out and takecontrol of that, we are affected and
(37:34):
can be affected so negatively by theworld around us without us even being aware
of it. So, yes,hypnotherapy is in a sense a reprogramming of
the subconscious mind. But it's areprogramming you are doing. I'm just giving
you the right words at the righttimes. These are the things that you
want to shift. You like that, I want to feel more joy,
(37:57):
I want to feel more love.I want to be block to negativity from
the outside world. Well, wecreate that shift in your imagination, gentlemen
on that point. Unfortunately, we'reflat out of time. Leland, I
gotta let you go. I thankyou, and I very much thank you,
Glenn. And again, the websitethat people can reach you at is
