Things went from bad to worse.
I wanted to improve and be ready to become the best dad I possibly could. I wanted to continue growing my business, and taking my life to the next level.
I had goals, dreams, and aspirations...I wanted more out of life...
...and me feeling crippled by anxiety was holding me back.
So I did what everyone else out there does in this situation.
I started looking for a way out.
I tried traditional therapy, medication, various books, and meditation...
and eventually decided to try something totally different.
and that "something different" was Hypnosis.
But of all things, why hypnosis and how did I even come across such a random topic?
When I was just 16 years old I stumbled across the mysterious phenomena of hypnotism.
From a very young age, I began learning how to use hypnotism for entertainment, and more importantly how it can impact the unconscious mind.
I learned about how hypnosis can alter the unconscious mind in order to change someone's reality.
Sounds fancy right?
Well in the early days, all I was really doing was sticking people to their seats, making them forget the number "3", and making them act like a chicken.
It was all pure entertainment for me.
The thing is, though, hypnosis is much more than just a trick. It's a superpower, and I was about to find that out, firsthand.
I eventually ran into a friend of mine at a Hypnosis Convention, who was using hypnosis in a very different way from how I'd learned.
He was curing people at this event who suffered from severe depression, anxiety, and chronic pain, using nothing but hypnotic words.
When I watched him doing this with other people, it looked like a miracle.
It was almost as though I'd discovered a truth about the human mind that I never really realized existed... It was this:
By using the "right words", we can create profound changes in the human mind, in seconds.
I was in awe and very inspired by what I'd witnessed.
I realized that I'd been using hypnosis for the wrong thing...
I was playing games, entertaining people with this incredibly powerful tool...
...when instead, I could be using this powerful tool myself to deal with my anxiety.
This was a massive eye-opener for me.
