Mike Mandel Hypnosis Academy is a sham. Mike is not a doctor nor does he hold a PhD or a hypnotherapist. Any psychology claims he makes during videos or podcasts are his personal opinions. Both Mike and Chris come across as narcissistic. The academy is entirely student-led. If students don't understand the videos and do things wrong, others tend to follow suit. It’s poorly managed. Only facilitators oversee the group but do not provide proper instruction. It’s a waste of money. You will learn more from YouTube. Charging clients $300 per hour is also unrealistic unless you’ve been practicing hypnosis for decades. The academy is losing members daily as students realise this. Even Chris CEO posted a video saying hypnosis is a "side hustle." Reputation matters, and the academy is damaging theirs.

I have two instances in my life where myself alone and later with a group of friends experienced missing time. I know for a fact something happened in both cases.

The first instance I woke up in my bed with my pajamas inside out and my mother was perfectly fine that I snuck out of the house with my "friends", like no big deal a 17 year old kid left the house in the middle of the night. Something happened that night when a light shot through the door of my bedroom and a silhouette was standing in the door way that said, "go back to sleep". I turned away from the door on my side and just went back to sleep which is VERY odd in and of itself because I have always had a slight phobia of sleeping with my back to my bedroom door or even leaving my closets open.

The second instance occurred maybe a year later or so in the spring of 1994. I was with a few friends, after our lunch break which was around noon, it was a bright sunny day. It's a really long story but I saw a silvery disc in the sky while skipping school (High School kids) out in the country, I drove us out there; think hills, trails and the open desert. I pointed and told my friends to look at it and I specifically remember them having this look of terror on their faces and I was just extremely frustrated because none of them would look at it, they just kept their eyes on me. I remember they snapped out of it when they saw a lizard climb up on a boulder and exclaimed, "Lizard, lets catch it"!, in my memory they just wanted a pet.

The next memory I have is us driving on a completely different road and it had to be around 9 PM at that time of the year in the Pacific NW. There was no music no talking or joking around as a group of teenage boys would be expected to do. Years later a friend brought it up as I had totally blanked that memory out of my head for some reason and he remembers everything except seeing the disc in the sky because he didn't look at it. I bring it up with him and he refuses to talk about it any more which to me is really odd too!

Have any of you experiencers gone to a hypnotist or something similar to try to piece together missing time or your own abduction cases? To be perfectly honest there's a deep part of me that just feels sick at the idea of KNOWING! Maybe it would be better for me not to know but I just can't shake this feeling of dread and at the same time wonder.

Sincerely,

OP

Edit: If you want any further details about those two instances I have additional details but have pretty much told you the gist of it all. Also exactly 5 years later almost to the day in the spring of 1999 I was again visited by the same disc about 600' away but that's another story.

Edit 2: I'll revise this post later. I was unexpectedly rushed at work. What I'm posting is a fact & Ive seen the same disc craft 2x in my life.

Hello, could you please suggest headset for hypnotherapist working online? I have a kid at home so need equipment that will reduce noise from family members and also I dont want to be distracted by them. I albo want my voice to be natural, any suggestion?

Looking for a hypnotist to practise weekly or bi weekly hypnosis inductions to improve my skills. If anyone else is also at the same stage and would like to practise what they learned message me.

For almost my entire life I’ve been biting my nails until they bleed and get infected sometimes.
I have tried many products, plasters, methods to try and get rid of it.

Unfortunately I’ve been unlucky in stopping it, I’ve had moments of not doing it, but every time I relapse.

I would love someone to help me with this, it’s probably not an usual request but please. It’s one of my biggest insecurity’s…

Does anyone know anything about hypnosis? I believe it’s real but definitely not all the time. My aunt somehow had a hypnosis make her quit smoking cigarettes for decades. (Weirdly enough picked up a vape habit last year but I think alot of people cycled back once vapes hit). Either way. I have a horrible habit myself of skin picking that I’ve had since I was a child and I’m thinking of getting a hypnosis to help me. May seem dramatic but I don’t want to take meds. Nothing else about me is abnormal noone even knows I have this issue bc my foundation has always looked natural since high school. Please don’t be mean. Wanting to know if anyone has heard of anything about this or anyone. Or any other suggestions!

EDIT: I made this post before realizing there was some of these subreddits. I joined. And I have been scrolling and will continue to. However i haven’t found an answer quite yet for my particular issue. I’m actually desperate and would like real help. So knowing that there is a community that exists now does anyone have suggestions that can help me with hypnosis as it relates to my skin picking addiction. I believe and know it’s real already. PLEASE HELP OR ENLIGHTEN IF YOU CAN. Only writing this edit bc the comments are already frustrated with me and I truly just want help. Wasn’t trying to be obnoxious by linking my post to this subreddit. I’m grateful for it and would like help I don’t know where else to go. YouTube hypnotist and psychics can lead you down the road wrong.

I’m in my journey of taking care of my mental health. My therapist told me to try hypnosis therapy. Have my first appointment in August but I’m a little scared of would happen.Any advice or tips

I chanced upon this word or subreddit called bambi and couldn’t quite understand it. Like what it is. Why are they calling themselves bambi. Is it hypnotherapy?

I hope this Post is OK here.

I am looking for recommendations for Smoking Cessation in the London area. Preferable Central London but not restricted to that area.

I'd like responses from Clients that have had success (although Professional Therapists can send me a Private message with their details).

TIA.

I am seeking a hypnotist to help me remember the password to my old backup phone. It's an android (samsung galaxy A14), I would often use it for extra storage so it has some of my art, poetry, and photos on there. I was cross country for a few months for a seasonal job and left that phone behind, but when I came back I couldn't remember the password 🤦🏾‍♀️ I can't remember if I backed up everything on the phone before my trip so I don't want to reset it just to get back into the phone and risk losing my art and everything else. Would someone here be able to help me?
