What a week so far.....

Wow! What a week... I have been able to really help several people to relieve their stress and anxiety and I have even been able to get a child who has not been talking to begin to share how he feels. I have been overly tired, but that comes with the busy schedule. I love what I do, but I do not have a desire to work in the evenings. I have chosen Thursday nights as my late night, but so many people want to come and see me after their work hours and I really want to accommodate them. I am willing to come in and work early hours, but not if I have to work until 9pm. I am amazed at how hypnosis is helping people. I have been able to successfully use hypnosis for a child's headache, test anxiety, smoking cessation, and possibly bed wetting (or at least temporarily). My only frustration is that the people I want to help the most (family, friends) get to see me the least and they could be getting some relief from the issues they may be dealing with. I think that being a counselor/therapist/psychotherapist/or whatever I am called in the day is a great job to have and I am eager to begin my research. This is my therapy. I never make suggestions that I am unwilling to do myself, including using self-hypnosis. I am learning how to be a better parent, how to become closer to God, how to have a healthy marriage, how to resolve conflict, how to take care of myself, and how to process distressing past issues. I am learning to prioritize and how to lose weight while being a diabetic who is glucose intolerant and has PCOS. (See the other blog for how that is going :) As always, I love the support I get from my husband, friends, family members, and the love I get from them all, especially my boys.
