Not only is this week a celebration of five years of the podcast, but it’s also the week I share the results of my chocolate craving hypnosis challenge that took place last week. I talk about giving people a taste of some of the help I’ve received through hypnosis. This was next-level amazing, if I do say so myself! Most challenges focus on learning, insights, and takeaways. My 3-day challenge was an immersive experience in hypnosis, designed to give those that joined the transformation that hypnosis alone can bring. This episode includes audio from the challenge on Day 1 and Day 3—you’ll hear the skeptics speak honestly about their doubts. While they liked the idea of resisting chocolate, deep down, they didn’t believe it would actually be possible. Day 2 audio hasn’t been included, as that day focuses on connecting to repressed emotions by visiting participants' younger, childlike selves. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room—the tissues I asked them to bring definitely came in handy. Despite the initial skepticism, the results are in: no one was able to smell the chocolate, let alone eat it! The 3-day hypnosis challenge was pure joy—from the surprise of how hypnosis felt for those experiencing it for the first time to the emotional release on Day 2. One of the ladies mentioned that she doesn’t usually cry, let alone in front of a group of strangers, yet she felt safe doing so.
