Send us FAN MAIL text, include your cell# for a replyProfessional Hypnosis vs. Stage Hypnosis, Plus a 100-Hour Hypnotherapy Certification Program (with Janet Philbin)In Season 8 of Villages Vitality Life: Senior Life Unscripted, host Mike Roth interviews hypnotherapist and mental health professional Janet Philbin, who has practiced hypnotherapy for about 26 years and also wrote “Show Up For Yourself: A Guide to Inner Awareness and Growth” (available in print and as an audiobook). Janet explains how stage hypnosis differs from professional hypnotherapy: stage work is entertainment that screens for highly responsive volunteers using quick tests (like arm levitation or balance/leaning techniques), while therapeutic work focuses on healing and change. She discusses hypnosis for issues such as pain management (only after full medical evaluation and with physician coordination), anxiety, sleep problems, procrastination, relationship patterns, and emotional wounds rooted in childhood coping strategies. Janet outlines her typical 3–6 session approach, noting six sessions as a “sweet spot,” and shares details of a live, Zoom-based 100-hour certification training through Krysalis Institute starting January 22, 2027, including schedule, cost, class size limits, and how to enroll.00:00 Season Eight Welcome00:40 Meet Janet Philbin01:13 Her Book and Audiobook01:53 Stage vs Therapeutic Hypnosis03:33 Smoking and Weight Myths05:20 Pain Management Ethics07:11 Emotional Healing Focus08:46 Results and Session Counts10:46 Alzheimers Tip GLP Ones12:48 Hypnotherapy Training Program14:49 Schedule and Cohorts15:52 Who Should Take It17:37 Tuition and Certification19:00 Websites and Enrollment21:37 Practice Setup Not Marketing22:50 Closing Thanks and CreditsVillages Vitality Listeners, I've got some good news for you.
