Life In Chicago: Hypnotherapy for Love? Part 1

If you know me, you know I have a problem with men. Not men in general. Just finding an appropriate man with whom to have a relationship. Seems I always fall head over heels for someone who's completely wrong for me.

A good friend of mine postulated that I choose these men so that I can feel superior. I promptly slapped him and dramatically and self-righteously stomped off in a huff.

But...he may have a point. I've believed that I become enamored with the bad boy because then when it's over it'll be really easy to move on. If they don't deserve my love, my heart can't really be broken, right?

Well, this afternoon I aim to change all that. Wendy Lapidus-Saltz is a hypnotherapist who specializes in helping people attract their perfect mate. I had heard of this type of therapy before from my friend Teresa Hill, who is now a certified hypnotherapist in her own right. Wendy subscribes to my newsletter and contacted me after reading my "Mugged In Chicago" series. She read that I was dating and offered me a session. I thought "why not?" Through Teresa's success stores I know hypnotism works. And since I haven't done too well on the love-front on my own (now THAT'S an understatement!), I am more than willing to be put under. Amazingly I am still dating Hainesville, who seems like a genuinely nice guy, so it'll be interesting to see what happens with him after today's session. Even that illustrates my relationship difficulties. I do meet a good man, but he lives in HAINESVILLE.

So, I'll keep you posted. I have visions of dozens of Prince Charmings lining up just for the opportunity to be in my presence.

(One can dream...it definitely beats my current vision of me at 60 wearing a muu-muu with a string of boy-toys behind me. Wait a minute - that doesn't sound so bad. Except for the muu-muu.).

Life in Chicago: Hypnotherapy for Love? Part II

Well, it's been 24 hours and I still haven't met Mr. Right.
Even though I'm as impatient as the next person in our instant-gratification-society, I do realize that it's going to take a bit longer than one day after one hypnosis session to meet the man of my dreams. While I'm waiting I'll tell you a bit about it.

Wendy greeted me warmly. I sat down in the corner of the couch and she sat across from me in a chair. After I filled out a brief questionnaire she went through a series of questions to get to the heart of my relationship needs and took copious notes on my answers.

That was tough. How many of us have really analyzed what we want out of a relationship and, more importantly, why we want those things and why we even want a relationship? I felt at times like a mother whose child is tugging on my sleeve asking "why?" to every response. At other times I felt like the student in the back of the class who is caught unprepared and fumbles around for the right answer. (That's an appropriate analogy, because I've definitely been in relationship detention.)

Of course there were no "correct" answers, only those that were correct for me. Now I don't suppose Wendy would be too happy to help a gold digger find her sugar daddy, but she tailors the sessions to suit the individual's needs. The point of the question and answer part was to get to the heart of my expectations and desires.

That's something I had never really analyzed. As I told her, I don't look for relationships, I fall into them. Her response was that because I'm an attractive woman, finding a true companion is difficult. I am not choosing the men I date - they're choosing me.

“(Wendy) told me          I don't have to be          aggressive or bold          or flirtatious.”

That was an AHA! moment. As an Independent Woman, I have not wanted to admit that I actually do want a fulfilling relationship with a *gasp* man. To do so implies dependency, but NOT to do so guarantees the ping-pong topsy-turvy love-life I've grown to (almost) accept as the norm. She told me I don't have to be aggressive or bold or flirtatious, but when I see a man I'd like to meet, or meet a man I'd like to get to know, to acknowledge it. She helped me understand that I still make the choice with whom I spend my time.

And all this was before she hypnotized me.

to be continued....

Life In Chicago: Hypnotherapy for Love? Part III

Now don't get me wrong - I have dated some really great guys. One is still a very close friend of mine, close enough to drive me to my parents in Lisle from the hospital after the mugging. Another set me up with Hainesville. So although I have dated my share of men that have inspired my friends to set up an approval committee for any potential suitors, there have also been decent men that still hold my affection. While my barometer may not be completely off, it definitely needs some help.

After the question and answer session Wendy had me get comfortable. I laid down with my head on the armrest and my arms crossed over my stomach. New age music emanated from the CD player at her feet while her soft, methodical voice gave me specific instructions. I could feel myself gradually relaxing, gradually enough that I eased into a state of hypnosis and before I knew it she was counting backwards from 10 to bring me out of it.

“I have visions of dozens          of Prince Charmings          lining up . . . to be          in my presence.”

Being hypnotized requires a definite level of trust. As your conscious mind drifts off (you are awake during the process, even if you're not aware), the hypnotherapist is giving instructions to your subconscious mind. She could have been telling me to date squirrels, for all I know.

As she brought me out of hypnosis she told me that when I awakened I would feel refreshed and great. She was right. If nothing else the session helped get me out of the emotional slump I've been in since I was mugged a month ago. I don't remember anything that was said, but she told me she focused on helping me let go of old relationships and move on from the mistakes I've made in the past. I do feel lighter and more confident in my ability to go forward. It could be psychosomatic. Heck, since hypnotherapy works on the mind it IS psychosomatic. If it works, it works.

But if you see me gazing longingly at a squirrel, please, tell me to snap out of it.
