Frank and I (Ginny) dine out so often that it’s not a treat; it seems more a necessity. Recently we were saddened to learn that one of our favorite restaurants, Portofino’s in Lincoln Center, closed. The last time we ate there was with our daughter’s family from Reno, who found the pizza to be "the best ever" so we decided to make Portofino’s a traditional stop every time they visited. Sadly, this was not meant to be.

At other restaurants we’ve noticed prices rising, portions shrinking, quality suffering, or any combination thereof. A sign of the times. Businesses everywhere are trying to survive despite the killer economy that is stalking all of us.

As usual, our approach at Evergreen is somewhat unconventional. While our expenses are increasing along with everyone else‘s, instead of raising our fee, we’ve been asking ourselves:

Some of you know the rule -Ask the right question - get the right answer! -So the answer is:

This means that if you have already experienced positive results with us, we can schedule a 30-minute return session to give you a post hypnotic suggestion so that during any future visit, by using only a few words and an agreed upon signal, you will automatically and immediately go into an alpha brainwave pattern. This eliminates approximately 20 minutes of “induction” time, and lets us go directly to therapeutic suggestions and imagery! Instead of needing an hour ($160), when no interview is necessary we can do our job in half an hour ($80) -- with the same results as an hour’s visit! To reiterate:

1. You schedule a half-hour session ($80).

2. We agree together upon a combined phrase and signal for future use.

3. During hypnosis you accept a post hypnotic suggestion to:

4. AUTOMATICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY relax into alpha for hypnotherapy purposes.

5. Subsequent sessions will then require only 30 minutes.

This is such an obvious solution to the problems of our times, that I’m embarrassed I didn’t think of it sooner. It’s a technique that I used often back in the days when I was the only hypnotherapist at Evergreen, and the growing client base became overwhelming.
