    EP 51: Perspectives on Life Explosions with Sandy - Part 2

    The exciting conclusion of Sandy's life coaching session after her life drastically changed with the break up of her boyfriend of 4 years, having to move to a new place, and the grandchildren she's not allowed to see moved from Guatemala to being within 2 hours of her home in Florida. Traci continues to work with Sandy to lay out a plan as to what her best life would look like. She reframes Sandy's past relationship as "the bridge." He wasn't the end all, but a terrific support when she needed that support in her life. She works on finding peace with her son, as well as several other relationships that were touched on within this session. 
     
    KEY POINTS:
    - Traci points out that Sandy's ex-boyfriend was her bridge, supporting her until she arrived at her next relationship destination.
    -Sandy discusses conversations she had with her mother about her not being alone.
    -Traci and Sandy talk about the patterns of abandonment that Sandy has experienced throughout her life.
    -Sandy talks about how her son came up with the money to get his kids from Guatemala to America, and how he's trying to make things right with his wife.

    "I feel like I'm on the road to wellness, physical wellnesswhich also comes down my anxiety, so I'm on the I'm on the verge of wellness."
    "You hear him saying the words you abandoned me when I needed you most? It's the audio you can hear it in your head."
    "And I'm glad I had a moment of clarity yesterday. It was after talking to my financial guy that made me think that I don't have to go rush out and make any permanent decisions right now. I can simply rent something until I figure out what's next."
    "You know, we all keep our issues in our body. Some people keep it in their sinuses. I keep that stuff on my sinuses too. When I'm letting go of stuff, it's all about the number of tissues."

    EP 50: Perspectives on Life Explosions with Sandy -Part 1

    EP 50: Perspectives on Life Explosions with Sandy -Part 1

    Often times when my clients start working with me, the Universe picks up on it and the waves of change ripple out and come back in unexpected ways. In the three weeks since Sandy's first visit, her boyfriend of 4 years broke up with her, she had to find a new place to live, and she discovered her grandkids (that she's not allowed to see) found their way from Guatemala to Florida. As we go through Sandy's life, the patterns of abandonment, betrayal, and lack of control emerge. Now that Sandy's being forced to change her life, The Hilarious Hypnotist coaches her into thinking about what she needs to do to live her best life.
     
    KEY POINTS:
    - Sandy reports what's happened since their last session; her boyfriend of 4 years broke up with her, she has to find a new place to live, and she discovered her grandchildren left Guatemala and are now living a few hours away from her in Florida.
    -Sandy reveals the complicated relationship with her son; after she gave him a lot of money, she had to cut him off. He no longer allows his kids to see their grandmother.
    -Sandy admits she gets upset when she loses control, and her body is paying the price as she experiences various ailments.
    -Sandy celebrates 25 years of being sober and is approaching the 20th anniversary of her quitting smoking.
    -Sandy mentions isolating herself from others when Traci points out that perhaps she wasn't "depressed" but she needed time to cocoon.
    -Traci guides Sandy through her Rate A Date system, so she can begin manifesting what she wants in her next relationship.
     
    QUOTABLES:
    "It's awful because people take the rejection personally, but the truth is that everybody's the star in their own movie."
    "You want someone who is sober, a nonsmoker, kind of thoughtful. Someone who can communicate. A foodie that lives within a 30 minute drive that appreciates the nudist lifestyle."
    "I also want someone who is sexually adventurous, financially stable, family-oriented and loves music."

    Ep 49: Singing Away Your Shit With Sandy - Part 2

    Ep 49: Singing Away Your Shit With Sandy - Part 2

    The exciting conclusion of Sandy's session. In the second half, Traci continues to piece together Sandy's life, eventually becoming the caregiver to the step father that abused her. Traci continues to break the bad trances by having Sandy re-imagine her stepfather with various props and silliness so Sandy can't possibly see her stepfather in the same way ever again. Sandy brings up other memories, and one by one, Traci helps her get rid of them using a variety of techniques. Traci winds down the session with some self-soothing techniques, which she shows her clients so they can care for themselves in between sessions.
     
    KEY POINTS:
    - Traci points out that people only remember maybe like 10% of the details accurately. They make up the other 90%. So if you can only accurately remember 10% of what happened and you're making up the other 90%, make it good!
    -Sandy continues to connect the dots between her life and her medical conditions. Recognizing the patterns is the key to taking your power back.
    -Traci continues to break Sandy's bad trances with song parodies from Barbra Streisand and musicals.
    -Sandy agrees to come back for a follow-up.
     
    QUOTABLES (2 quotes):
    "Good. I like how you put the karma police in there. Didn't even teach that to you yet. Awesome.
    "You were the only kid with divorced parents. You saw your dad every other weekend and you missed some things because you were with your dad. What did you miss?
    "I don't know. I think that's probably why I am the way I am. And there's really nothing I can do about it. But you know, the fact that I connected these dots in all these years that's one thing I didn't connect the dots.
    "We all learn at our own pace. Yes, we all learn at our own pace. I recognize my power now."

    Skylar is back for a follow-up visit three months after her first visit (Episodes 41 & 42). After being turned away by several therapists prior to her session with Traci The Hilarious Hypnotist, Skylar is thrilled with her results from her first session. She's calmer, able to eat hamburgers without guilt, and doesn't get sick when she sees black beans. She even sent Traci a few referrals. Traci asks what's left, and Skylar reveals that she still has some "Mama Drama," things her mother said and did that still trigger her. Traci compiled a list and began knocking them out one by one, using a combination of royalty-free sounds, tapping, and humor. You can see Skylar's transformation. When she's triggered, she squeezes a rubber chicken and Traci blasts the sound byte with a ridiculous sound saved on her mini iPad. After a while, Skylar starts laughing, breaking the "magic spell" of her mother's words.
