		<description><![CDATA[Yes, as you said: first time will always remain most profound.
You will never forget it and it will be in your mind forever. 

The first time for me in Hypnosis was with my professor in self improvement. He was a professional in fact and make me in trance state for the whole day. Also he made a link for my mind if I felt any disappointing anytime. 

As you said before, till now I can&#039;t forget nether this experience nor feel of trance.

Thank you Susan for sharing this trance experience and I hope all feel this feeling.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Bridgette,

Thanks for writing. I think the beach is a &quot;happy place&quot; for many of us—so peaceful. I love your description of &quot;the sound of someone sweeping sand off cement.&quot; What a nice image.

It is disappointing when a session doesn&#039;t yield the results we&#039;re hoping for. There can be many reasons for this. It is good that you have more sessions planned, so you can discuss it in detail with your hypnotherapist. I&#039;m sure he or she will have ideas about how to proceed and may want to take another approach. We are always hoping that a single session will bring about the desired change, but sometimes it takes more.

It sounds like you have been through a lot, and I&#039;m glad that you are getting support.

All the best to you,

Susan]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Susan...I underwent hypnotherapy last night...and I am laughing because my &quot;happy place&quot; as I refer to it...was so similar to yours. On the beach...rolling waves...the sound of someone sweeping sand off cement...I was alone and warm, peaceful...tranquil...I have more sessions with the therapist ahead...however I am concerned that &quot;it didn&#039;t work&quot;...
I went to gain strength from a divorce, and betrayal of a friend...however I found myself having the same angry feelings toward my ex husband and my frined that I&#039;ve been carrying around for months...We did do some resolve therapy...I saw myself letting the toxic relationship with my ex go...but I havent let go of the anger...and I continue to think about them...Could it be that my therapist and I didn&#039;t touch on that? Or could I be un-hypnotizable... :D]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris, thanks so much for posting a comment. I can imagine that using hypnosis to quit smoking would make for a profound introduction. 

Best of luck with your writing. If you are in the Bay Area, you might want to participate in my Hypnosis for Writers workshops. 

You trained with with Marilyn Gordon! One of these days I&#039;d like to take a workshop from her. I&#039;m always keeping an eye on her center&#039;s calendar. 

Thanks again for writing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Susan, this is a good post. I ran across it because I was looking for information on using hypnois to accelerate my writing. My first experience with hypnosis was equally memorable. I used a hypnotist to help me quit smoking over 20 years ago. Not only was it a deep and profound experience, but I haven&#039;t had a cigarette since. I have since gone through many other hypnosis experiences (including training with Marilyn Gordon) but like you, I will always remember my first.]]></description>
