I did a few hypnosis sessions. Hypnosis is just relaxation techinques.

My counselor began hypnosis by saying . . . "Sit back, relax your body, close your eyes, inhale, exhale, roll your eyes up and hold them up there, with your eyes closed and looking up, inhale and as you exhale count backwards outloud from 21 to 0."

Heck, I can't count outloud backwards and exhale.

I barely counted down to 17 . . . heehee.

My counselor was like . . . "How do you feel? Do you feel relaxed?"

I was like . . . "Yeah, a little. I feel light-headed."

I was just agreeing with him. I was really scared and wanted to stop closing my eyes. I was scared of the attention.

I had a good counselor because we stopped pursuing the hypnosis because I was scared.

He is world-renown for hypnosis.
