Do hypnotherapists use hypnosis in their personal lives? For James Hazlerig, the answer is yes. In fact, he was born into hypnosis (literally) and knew from a young child that it was real and powerful.

During his college days, he wrestled with depression which was a period he described as, “a series of obstacles and fears and self-doubts,” he said. Hypnosis was one of the tools that he says helped him keep going in life.

At a certain point, the idea of a “life script” shifted his perspective to consider how much of life is a story and what role our thoughts play in our well-being. Eventually, an unfulfilling job and a desire to help people pointed James back to what’s been around him his whole life: the power of storytelling.

James also shared a personal story of his use of hypnosis to help manage what his doctor referred to as “the mildest case of shingles I’ve ever seen!”

Now what’s his story? As a professional storyteller and hypnotherapist, James uses hypnotic principles to make things happen in his life by being hypnotic. And in regards to his business? “My clients come into my office telling themselves a story about themselves and they leave with a better story if I’ve done my job right.”

Aren't you curious to hear his story?!

Some Suggested Stories to Try On:

• The best kind of hypnosis clients are anxious clients.
• Identity is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves.
• Once we stop asking, “is this real?”, the subconscious mind accepts “it” as real.
