Dave Goes With Chuck To Therapy
Dave Will Be Joining Chuck At His Therapy Appointments
A 73-year-old hypnotherapist in Grand Blanc, Michigan was found guilty of sexually assaulting his patients over the course of decades. According to reports from ClickOnDetroit, the man faces life in prison for his actions during the therapy sessions.
We on the show do not have any experience with hypnotherapy. Outside of Andy’s grandma, who we learned on the show today, used it to quit smoking back in the 1950’s. We aren’t even sure about the legitimacy of hypnosis in general. None of us have been hypnotized and aren’t sold on the idea that someone could actually hypnotize us anyway.
Chuck has always had an issue with hypnosis because he wouldn’t want it to work, and have some old memories bubble up on him. So, if he did go to hypnotherapy for something, and especially after this news story, he’d want Dave to come along for the appointment.
Dave has mentioned how he can get bored while shopping with Amber and wander off to grab some coffee or food. And Chuck says he’d never let Dave live that down if something happened to him while under hypnosis and Dave became bored and wandered away.
We do have one Peep Show from the past that deals with hypnotherapy if you’re looking for more laughs after this one. It’s about Baklava Hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy Facts
According to PsychologyToday, hypnotherapy was recognized by The American Psychological Association and American Medical Association since 1958. Also, it is said that you will not be unconscious during these sessions. You will retain “free-will” and will not lose control of your thoughts or actions. It is said that 1 in 4 people are unable to be hypnotized. Some are due to specific things happening in their brains which you can read more about at PsychologyToday. Others are unable to be hypnotized because of a deep skepticism or resistance to the idea.
