Pay R192 for a one-hour hypnotherapy session at Metaphore Coaching, valued at R550 (save 65%)

Hollywood is well known for being more dramatic and overblown than a hormone-addled adolescent and the picture of some ominous, goateed man waving a pocket-watch and turning audience-members into clucking zombies is quite a popular one. Experience the fact behind the fiction without the use of antique time-pieces with a one-hour hypnotherapy session at Metaphore Coaching for R192.

If the thought of being hypnotised might bring to mind images of being forced to stand on one leg and bark like a dog, or spill all your deepest darkest secrets without control, Hollywood has done its job well. Hypnotherapy is actually nothing more than a state of consciousness in which you’re more responsive to suggestion. Though highly qualified in the art of creating trances and acting as coach and pep-squad, even if the trained hypnotherapist wanted to make you do something you didn’t want to, it would be as impossible as convincing a three-year old that broccoli actually tastes like candy-floss.

Whether you’re anxious about asking your boss for a raise, you nails bear the marks of a hundred teeth or you just want to put your feet on a new path, the one-hour hypnotherapy session can help you do it.  There’s no purple-velvet divan to sprawl out on, but the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. Proven to assist with helping to break addictions and compulsions, aid creative thinking and gain more self-confidence, hypnotherapy is a more powerful than an entire tool-box of supped-up power-tools. Even if you just need help to stop procrastinating or eating all the doughnuts instead of putting the finishing touches on your dolphin sculpture made from used gruyere cheese, Metaphore Coaching is like your own knight in shining armour.

Hypnotic Fact: A hypnotherapist known only as The Jumping Jehosephat was famous for not using a watch to perform his hypnosis. Instead, he used a keychain shaped like a ceiling fan.
