Free Zoom Presentation: How Hypnosis Works

Sep 30, 2024 02:41PM ● By Jerome Bilaos
Curiosity about how hypnosis works is natural. The subconscious mind is a mystery to most of us and questions are common, even for those who have already experienced successful hypnotherapy. At 7:30 p.m. on October 16 and on November 14, Barry Wolfson, M.S., is pleased to offer a free Zoom presentation designed to demystify the hypnotic process. With 37 years in practice as a hypnotherapist, Wolfson knows how to break down the process so that everyone can understand and be more comfortable without losing the shear amazement quality.

“People are becoming more cautious about using pharmaceuticals to address health or behavior issues,” states Wolfson. “The strength of hypnotherapy is its effectiveness at tapping into the person’s own mind to make changes, without the danger of medicinal side effects.”

Wolfson is also thrilled to announce the launch of Hypnosis Counseling Center’s improved website. Visit today for new pages and testimonials, plus informative videos.

To attend the free Zoom presentation, register by call/text to 908-303-7767 or email [email protected] to receive the Zoom link. HypnosisCounselingCenter.com. See ad, page 9.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
