Fergie’s use of hypnosis to kick drugs, smoking, and get a handle on stress is in the news again . . . FERGIE TURNS TO HYPNOTHERAPY . . .
THE BLACK EYED PEAS star FERGIE undergoes regular hypnotherapy sessions in a bid to help her find balance in her life. The LONDON BRIDGE singer admits she will never forget how terrible her life was when she was in her mid-20s – she was a 90 pound (40.8 kilogram) drug abuser – and she uses hypnotherapy to make sure she never returns to that hell. She says, "It’s like regular therapy. For the first 50 minutes I’ll vent, and for the last 10 I’ll do deep breathing to get into a more relaxed state. "I’m always looking for ways to help me find balance. I’m lucky I got through the rough times. Now I’m able to enjoy life again."
Venting is one way to do such therapy, there are other reliable and effective trance processes that one can use. However, the key component is getting results and Fergie has gotten the results she needs from the process.
For more on Fergie’s forrays into hypnosis and hypnotherapy, see Fergie Goes Hypnotic and Black Eyed Peas Fergie Stays Straight and Hypnotic in the archives here.
For those unfamiliar with her, Fergie (web) is a vocalist for the band Black Eyed Peas (web) and is as popular as singers go (see my myspace friends list for more links), thus the pressures of the entertainment industry breathing down her neck. I have worked with entertainment hypnosis and these and other issues are not uncommon . . . however, they don’t have to be overpowering. Hypnosis is one appropriate approach to learning coping mechanisms and other strategies to deal with the pressure of the business so that one can be both successful and happy. Many of the same processes work great with folks in other walks of life as well.
If you are in Taipei and in the entertainment business – or any business or walk of life, for that matter – and wish to explore hypnosis to help you cope or move forward with life, embracing the joy, feel free to check out my webpages at http://www.BrianDavidPhillips.com and contact me to setup an appointment.
All the best,
