When Brandon first came to my office, he was about to be fired from his current sales job.  He was miserable and was in a slump of what to do next.  I began to ask him questions about his overall life and situation and unmasked a more prevalent issue regarding his overuse of alcohol.   With this knowledge, I was able to pivot quickly and develop a new plan that involved addressing his issue with alcohol.  My words to Brandon were it is best to build a house on a solid foundation and not on quicksand.  He agreed.  The sessions began, tailored to his needs.  Over the next 12 weeks, he found a treatment program to work along the hypnotherapy sessions that I provided.  He found enough of a foundation working with me that he was able to move forward with getting a certification and finding a new job.
