Twenty-Two Years Ago the Most Amazing Thing Happened

Time sure is interesting, isn't it?

Sometimes it slips through our fingers like sands through the hourglass, and sometimes it's slow and sticky like molasses.

This week is an important anniversary for me.

It was 22 years ago this week (on March 12th) that I graduated from a fun three-day course to become a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist.

It was the most magical day of my life... why?

Hypnosis for Overcoming Intense Fears: The True Story of Susan Oliver

You may have never heard of Susan Oliver's name, but it's almost a certainty you would recognize her face. Susan had over 120 television and film credits to her name. A well known actress in the 50s and 60s, she appeared in shows such as the Andy Griffith show, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Gomer Pyle: USMC, Gunsmoke, Magnum PI, and Star Trek. She directed shows such as M*A*S*H and Trapper John MD.

On February 3rd, 1959 — the same day Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper died in a tiny Beechcraft V-35 Bonanza — Susan was on a commercial Pan Am flight that plummeted out of control from 35,000 feet to 6,000 feet before regaining control. This incident left her with a deep-seated phobia and she refused to go near an airplane. She turned down any role that required her to fly for over a year.

She reached out to a hypnotherapist, desperate for help.
