" How's that feeling? Good good. Okay, let's see here um oh yes. You're gonna have to go in a group home now."
"I'm getting a tattoo for that. Me and my brother. I'm gonna pay for his first tattoo when he's 18. And I'm gonna get "my brother's problem" tattooed on me, and he's gonna get my sister's keeper tattooed on him. That's gonna be great."

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.
KEY POINTS:
- Skylar reports back that she's actually craving hamburgers and is able to look at black beans without getting sick.
-Skylar says that since her first session, she occasionally feels down, but she's able to work through it within a day or two.
-Skylar begins talking about "generational trauma," and lists a whole bunch of triggers, which are mostly things her mother said to her.
-She briefly touches on being trafficked and being brainwashed.
-Skylar talks about being collared by her partner.
 
QUOTABLES :
"It's like I was in a constant competition with my mom! She was always comparing herself to me and not in a good way."
"You're fucking crazy. Yeah, there we go. You're fucking crazy."
"I'm sitting here like doing a podcast, therapy, with a rubber chicken."

You might remember Amy (episode 17 & 18), who wanted to experience a "DP." A few weeks after her October 2022 session, Amy told Traci that she had been stockpiling her meds and had planned to overdose when her dog Sweet Pea passed. She got so much out of her session with Traci, that Amy ended up throwing out her medications. She used Traci's techniques to "dial down" her fibromyalgia pains and began enjoying life. Now, it's April of 2024, and Amy's dog "Sweet Pea" is winding down. Amy has been struggling with weed and liquor and finally got herself into a 12-step program 2 months before this session. She's very concerned that when Sweet Pea does pass, she'll be tempted to start drinking and doing weed again, and she wants to make sure she stays clean.
 
KEY POINTS:
- Amy brings Traci up to speed on what's been happening since their last session.
-Amy tells Traci she still uses a technique Traci taught her to "dial down" her fibromyalgia pain.
-Amy tells Traci that she had been stock-piling her meds for when her dog "Sweet Pea" passes, and that thanks to Traci's help, she threw out her meds.
-Amy is proud of the fact that her 12-step program is allowing her to lead a meeting before being sober 90 days.
-Amy admits "Sweet Pea" was her third choice when she went to get a puppy 16 years ago.
-Traci uses Amy's words and upbringing to help her tap down the urges she may have to drink once Sweet Pea passes.

"I don't want to feel this sadness. Let me cover it up with weed and liquor."

DESCRIPTION: The conclusion of Ninalynn's session with The Hilarious Hypnotist. Ninalynn makes several stunning realizations not only about her past but regarding her family members as well. She realizes that her uncle was not only grooming her but other family members as well in order to protect his dirty secrets. Ninalynn realizes that she's likely played out the scenarios in her head more than they've actually happened. The family member who controlled her has passed, so it's okay for her to let it go. She admitted that this family member snuck past her in a weak moment and continued his pattern. She still felt guilty about that, but found some peace that the situation could have been much worse. Ninalynn questions why does God hates her so much, but later acknowledges that out of all the bad days she's had, she's gotten through 100% of them. Don't miss the exciting ending to this session!
 
KEY POINTS:
- Ninalynn has additional insights into not only her story but into the stories of other family members.
-She sees the pattern of child molestation, and thanks in part to her husband, she has mostly been able to stop the pattern from repeating.
-Ninalynn realizes she needs to continue working on herself mentally and physically, and also with her diet.
 
 
QUOTABLES (2 quotes):
"I was 16 and he would buy me speed, pot, cigarettes, or alcohol to keep me quiet."
"I revert to the child when I'm being strongly talked to, and now I can break that training."
"The younger me feels empowered to know what he's going to do and knows that it's not me. It's him. And he does it because he hates himself."

TRIGGER ALERT!  Child molestation is discussed in depth in this episode.  The molestation happened 50+ years ago.  The person accused of being molested is deceased.
DESCRIPTION:  The Hilarious Hypnotist's friend, Ninalynn, has experienced a series of horrible events.  In September of 2022, she unexpectedly lost her son-in-law due to a massive heart attack.  He left behind a daughter (Ninalynn's granddaughter).  A few months later, Ninalynn had to testify that custody of her granddaughter should be given to her son-in-law's parents instead of her daughter, because her daughter married a child molester.   She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis this past November.  A month later, she was told she had kidney cancer, only to find out she was mis-diagnosed and had extreme calcification on her kidneys instead.   As Traci digs into Ninalynn's past, she discovers that Ninalynn is experiencing heightened stress thanks to a molester in her past.  In this episode, Ninalynn reveals many details about her molester while Traci quickly works to dissolve the pain, guilt, and shame surrounding her circumstances.
KEY POINTS:
- Ninalynn talks about being molested by a family member, from the age of five to sixteen.
-She admits being angry with her mother, because she suspected she knew what was going on.
-Ninalynn is angry with herself, because she never told anyone what was happening.  She didn't tell anyone because her uncle threatened he would hurt her mother and sister, and turn them against her if she told.
-Ninalynn realizes she was being psychologically manipulated and trained.
 
QUOTABLES:
"I should have been strong enough to be able to say something to anybody, and know that other people in the family saw something, but I wasn't too sure.
"At that time, I started hating myself because I was accepting his molesting.  I was going to him and saying "Hey, I want to go out drinking tonight.  Buy me some alcohol and I'll trade.  I was 16."
"What have I done to deserve this? Why is God punishing me?"

When Traci moved to Paradise Lakes Resort, she heard about a retired hypnotist living in her neighborhood.  It took a few years, but their paths finally crossed.  Dr. Gullo reached out and started giving Traci some articles he had written about hypnosis.   Traci gave him a few recordings of her HAHA sessions.  They realized within a few weeks that although their practices were different, they had a very similar approach to working with clients in hypnosis and hypnotherapy.   Dr. Gullo began sharing his scripts with Traci, and in December made her a Board Certified Medical Hypnotist with Advanced Medical Hypnosis.  Please enjoy this interview with Traci's mentor, neighbor, and friend, Dr John M Gullo.
KEY POINTS:
-Dr. Gullo and Traci discuss how they met.
-Dr. Gullo shares how he went from a Doctorate in Psychology into the field of hypnosis.
-Dr. Gullo talks about REBT, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.

QUOTABLES:
"I listened to one of your recordings and began analyzing it while I was listening to it.  I noticed you used a lot of deepeners, and then I woke up 40 minutes later thinking "What the fuck just happened?"
"And he sent me some information, some articles that Dr. Albert Ellis, who is the inventor of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy back in 1955, was the first paper that he wrote on that."
"Because people who smoke and have weight issues, they got stress issues as well, which is really the basis for the smoking and the weight to come about in your life to begin with."
