How did Coach Mac McCarthy get involved with hypnotherapy?
I had my own bad breakup over 12 years ago, I was sad, depressed, angry, and just wanted to stop dwelling on the past. I was stuck in this web of “should of”, “could of”, “would of’s”. Looking back it wasn’t just the breakup, I was unhappy with. I sought out friends and family, I went to a spiritual healer, I saw a couple of psychics, and some helped and some actually hurt me. They helped in the moment, but that moment didn’t last. Then I chose to go to a hypnotherapist in San Francisco. I was ready to try anything and in one of my late night google searches for how to feel better post breakup, I somehow found hypnotherapy. After gobbling up success story after success story, I thought well many people seem to use this to quit smoking or to quit eating fatty foods, why not try it for excessive heartbreak. LOL. I laugh writing this now, but it wasn’t funny at the time, I was looking for solutions. So, I booked an appointment, sat down and proceeded to vomit out my problems, I miss my ex, I’ve been drinking too much, I don’t like my job and the list continued….then I was asked a life changing question. It went like this, “Ok, what do you want to let go of?” The question almost shocked me, I wanted to keep complaining, I wanted some pity, and I thought; I never thought of letting go as part of the process. I was wrong and I learned a valuable lesson in that chair that day. I began to rattle off, I want to let go of missing my ex, I want to let go of binge drinking, and the list went on. My hypnotherapist then completed a list of things, which she put into a format for which included her own version of the Emotional Freedom Technique. She then told me to follow her directions and the journey began. I’ve since adapted my own style of EFT and hypnotherapy for my clients. And the results have been OUTSTANDING.
