EPISODE NOTES

0:01 Dawn's quote:

0:10 Sharon's quote:

0:30 My Belief is we all need to celebrate our many differences, so as not to be intimidated by the perception of too many similarities. We each discuss our own YOUnique qualities within our chosen profession.

0:56 Dawn's journey, in her dedication to helping people. From special education to becoming a professional hypnotist. The intersection of what is possible in the classroom. Dawn contributes "a long history" to our profession.

2:25 Joan Ann's YOUnique perspective began as a nursery nurse. She and her husband decided date-night would be college and she ended up with two masters! Joan Ann shares her similarities with Dawn's story, and the wiser-self's knowledge of, "I wish I knew then what I know now." As one of 13 children, Joan Ann has always brought a lot of experience to the table.

3:33 Sharon's YOUnique perspective shares the overall perspective of the breadcrumbs that lead her to becoming a hypnotist. You will definitely want to hear her explain how as a Doctor of Pharmacy her patients were coming to her on so many medications but not being well. It is the mind, body, approach. Self-Love intersects with Self-Hypnosis.

5:10 My story of survival that lead up to my becoming a hypnotist. I briefly share about what I call my background of 'experiential trauma'. I admit about not being able to go outside, due to the level of anxiety looping in my brain, 6 years ago.

6:24 "The Trajectory of change." It is the belief system that allows the change to occur. I thank our change makers for what they are doing.

7:17 Trauma finds everyone, at some level. Joan Ann and I have a bit of back-and-forth clarifying what each of us is saying.

8:04 Client Trauma Story Time begins with Joan Ann's Pan Am Client who ONLY lived because she disobeyed her father!

9:20 I share a teenager's joke that leads to his confession of almost watching his father burn to death.

10:00 we are not allowed to be trauma therapists. yet every human experiences trauma, at some level, at some point.

10:33 I share a story of a Columbine School Shooting Survivor who now sends her children to school near where she ONLY missed the tragedy due to being disobedient and cutting class.

10:55 "trigger trigger trigger"

11:20 "That's The Power Of Hypnosis!"

11:25 Dawn's realization that all the children she worked with over the years lived entire lives of trauma.

12:00 Joan Ann says the most profoundly important comment of the entire podcast. "If only it were covered by insurance."

12:08 Sharon's final comment about patients taking "like 20 medications" is a very close second, and should get the listener questioning, where do you find your healthiest self? How do you feel well? Are you where you want to be?
