What Do Matt Damon And Geri Brin Have In Common?
“I should have done it years ago. It’s amazing I didn’t even want cigarettes anymore.”
—Matt Damon [on his experience with hypnosis]
Like Matt, I stopped smoking after being hypnotized, about 30 years ago. I was smoking over two packs a day at that point. The private session lasted about 90 minutes and cost me $250, a hefty sum considering it was 1984. The hypnotist gave me a set of tapes and instructed me to listen to them every night for a few weeks. If they worked as they were supposed to, I’d be able to hypnotize myself, he said. They worked. Even today, I can remember going into a hypnotic state. I kid you not!
I haven’t even held a cigarette between my fingers since that afternoon.
Perhaps I would have stopped without hypnosis. Who knows and who cares? I don’t smoke and that’s what counts.
So I jumped at the chance to interview Colin Christopher, a 39-year-old certified clinical hypnotherapist from Canada, who started using hypnosis and hypnotherapy 15 years ago to help couples reconnect and reignite their waning flames.
Maintaining that sexless relationships are more common than most couples will admit, Colin says that as long as medical issues aren’t to blame, couples can employ many natural techniques to heat things up again. Colin also wrote Success Through Manipulation, which explains what manipulates us in our environment. “You can read each chapter in five to 10 minutes,” he says.
Enjoy my enlightening conversation with Colin.
