    Hi Cal and Celeste. I want to tell you how much I appreciate the hard work you've both contributed to the podcasts. I've learned sooooo much from them. You were a dynamic duo together and I will miss your combined talent. Celeste, your "radio personality talent" made the podcasts unique and extra special. I wish you the best with your practice Celeste. Nancy

    Recently worked with a client who had difficulties keeping her eyes closed during the sessions. She was just much more comfortable working with her eyes open. After determining that it wasn't a trust or fear issue, we proceeded with a rather simple solution: we went ahead with the session including age regression work with her eyes open. I just had her stare at the blank wall in front of her (I keep this wall purposely empty of any distracting objects). After all, there's not really a requirement that someone's eyes be closed to do this work, is there? --- although closed eyes may be helpful for making it easier to focus.

    In later sessions, she simply brought along a handkerchief and covered up her eyes with it, so that she could keep her eyes open underneath the cover of the handkerchief. (The fact that she was willing to do the work blindfolded with her eyes open confirmed to me that it was not a trust or fear of hypnosis problem)

    Re: working with hard-of-hearing clients- because I've been working with many older clients lately, I got a voice amplifier that does not require the client to wear a headphone setup. It is not very expensive and you can get it on Amazon: it's called the Hisonic Waistband Voice & Speech Amplifier, HS125. This is a real voice-saver!

    Also, the advice you give about just telling the client that it's OK to ask me to speak up is something I do with every client, because it reinforces the idea that the client is always in control and not in some paralytic, vulnerable state.

    PS. FAREWELL CELESTE, I WILL MISS SEEING YOU ON THESE VIDEOS!
