Marilyn Katz, a licensed marriage and family counselor whose emphasis is on those with severe mental illnesses, mentions Ferrari's connectedness, too. She's able to meet people on different levels. I've used her services for both myself and others. Hypnosis done by a professional can help people cope with stress and overcome fears such as flying or public speaking. Self-hypnosis can even improve sports abilities or slow down the aging process, Ferrari says, by calming your fears and surrounding yourself with positive influences.
Hypnosis is really self-hypnosis.
You're the one who puts yourself in a trance, with the hypnotist's help. One accomplishment Ferrari is particularly proud of is helping others stop smoking, something she says she can do in one session with a compatible client. Her own father died of lung cancer in 1981. Ferrari's husband is Gordon Holt, and they've been married 10 years. He's a contract consultant, and in his present contract he's assistant to the director of the Institute for Business Performers, an educational group that trains individuals for specific jobs in Silicon Valley.
