I've felt the scarcity of it all--of time, of money, of the need to prove myself just to survive and play the game. I was constantly going from low to high to low again and felt completely exhausted. I was stingy with myself-- wary of investing in my healing as traditional forms of therapy had always left me feeling raw and without any lasting change in my mind, body, or soul.

For a long time, I tried to outrun my sadness. I jumped from job to job, traveled from place to place, thinking if I could just change my scenery, the heaviness would disappear. That something was missing and I just had to search harder.

But no matter how right it felt (or how far I went), after a couple of days of novelty, the sadness, lack of purpose, and empty feeling was right there.

I had to really sit still with myself and ask “Who am I?” To look within. And realize: the constant search for novelty feels exhilarating at first but then can start to feel draining and exhausting. But when I decided to stop running, I had no idea what to do. I thought I had all the tools I needed—from yoga and meditation to journaling and painting—until I discovered hypnosis. Within the first week of discovering hypnosis, I had unlocked a sense of clarity and contentedness I hadn’t felt in years. I was able to clear fears that had been hiding under the surface blocking me from my bliss and potential for almost my entire life.
