The Hypnotist

My name is Robert Harrison and I’m the director of the Bay Area Hypnosis Center. I’m a board certified Hypnotist and certified Instructor through the National Guild of Hypnotists.I teach at the annual conference and I train Hypnotherapists around the world in the field of clinical hypnosis – particularly in the areas of Weight Loss, Smoking Cessation, Stress Reduction, Habit Control, and Human Performance.

In 2009 I was declared the #1 Smoking Cessation Therapist in the world by Smoke-Free International, the leading provider of Smoking Cessation Hypnotherapy Instruction. On a personal note, I quit a pack and a half a day smoking habit with hypnosis over 16 years ago and I thank God every day for it. It literally saved my life.

What Is Hypnosis

Let’s start with what Hypnosis isn’t. Hypnosis is not sleeping, because you’ll most likely be awake and alert the entire time – though it’s common for your attention to drift periodically during a session.  Usually, the only people who actually fall asleep are those individuals who are very tired or have a habit of falling asleep when watching a movie.

Second, it’s not Mind Control – it cannot make you do something you don’t want to do.  Neither the hypnotist nor the hypnosis can make you re-enforce decisions you do not wish to make.

Instead, Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can assist you in re-enforcing and strengthening decisions you’ve already made for yourself and that you want to re-enforce.

When you utilize it properly, you can gain significant leverage over unhealthy, unproductive, or unwanted habits.  Especially the ones you often do without thinking – only to catch yourself after the fact.

This can result in quitting smoking easier than ever before in as little as 1 session, losing unwanted pounds naturally and easily, without drugs or diets, and without it being a constant struggle.

See our testimonials page  for real-life examples of local people just like you who have used Hypnosis and Autogenic Training to accomplish amazing goals for themselves like quitting smoking in 1 hour, losing  50 pounds naturally in 6 months, resolving a cat allergy in 1 hour, ending compulsive nail biting, putting an end to road rage, or transforming their lives from stressed out about work and finances to living in a relaxed and easy fashion.

You can even use hypnosis to reduce stress and maintain a healthy mind and body.
