So I was alone flying on a flight to Rio de Janeiro for New Year's 2 years ago, and I run into this friend group and we celebrate New Year's, we have an amazing time. And towards the end of the night, one of the girls in the group, she comes up to me and says, I have been afraid of the ocean my entire life. Can you do something about that? And so I hypnotize her for 4 or 5 minutes. I basically have her visualize her going to the water and telling herself she's safe. And then we go into the ocean together and it is the most magical, beautiful experience because she puts her head down in the water and then she comes out. And she's like, I'm And not afraid I'll of the ocean. never forget, she literally looks back at me, tears are flowing down in her eyes because she's just never felt this before. And that was one moment where I really fell in love with hypnosis because that happened in just 6 or 7 minutes of just me putting her to sleep and then inserting like all this positive talk in her brain. And I really, really never forgot that moment. And since then, I've cured a lot of people's fears of the ocean, spiders, whatever you want to call it.
