This week, my guest on the Get the F*ck Off Podcast is Jeremiah Saunders, who is a hypnotist and anxiety relief specialist.

Jeremiah spent a large portion of his life falling victim to anxiety. It began to get in the way of his personal and professional goals.

He started a business but was having trouble doing even basic tasks like making phone calls. He finally decided to act and took a job as a door-to-door salesman, hoping that would finally clear the anxiety. It didn’t, and his panic attacks became worse than ever.

Then, Jeremiah discovered neuro-linguistic programming. (NLP)

The results were instantaneous and remarkable.

A few years later, Jeremiah got certified in hypnosis.

As he explains, hypnosis is very similar to meditation but with a specific intention behind it.

Jeremiah works with his clients to get them to an Alpha wave state (which we naturally go into twice per day, when we first wake up, and before we go to sleep,) and then uses his tools to make suggestions. Hypnosis taps into the subconscious mind and the feelings, emotions, and habits we use on a day-to-day basis.

As the subconscious mind has a perfect memory, people often experience anxiety because of events that happened years or even decades prior. While we cannot erase the past, we can change how we perceive those past memories.
