One of the busy (and fun!) times of the year is first semester of the academic calendar. That's because of the relationships I have with a group of educators who teach at high schools in Montgomery County, Maryland. They kindly invite me on campus to speak with students about hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness.
Last week was my 12th school visit of the semester as I spent the day at Bethesda Chevy Chase (BCC) High School to guest speak with psychology students. This was my first time at BCC and the visit with a big-time success. The kids were engaged in the topic and I attracted an amazing group of volunteers.
Here is what the teacher who hosted me shared about the reaction to my presentation and demonstration of hypnosis:
Marc - thanks again for giving up your day to meet with the Psychology students at BCC. I heard a lot of great feedback from the students throughout the day and after school. Many staff members also commented that kids were talking about the experience in their classes. It was a great way to finish before break. I look forward to arranging your visit next year.

A visualization exercise demonstrates the power of the subconscious. I then solicit volunteers who are interested in experiencing a hypnosis induction.
