Shortly after seeing him I had a horrendous psychotic episode which required hospitalization. It was the beginning of a long journey of doubting myself and living in a twilight zone state from his hypnosis tapes he made personally for me to «recover.» After stopping seeing him I felt much stronger and clearer and realized he had kept me in the grips of low self-esteem and self doubts for half my adult life. When I had the psychotic episode many years ago I was completely incapacitated emotionally and mentally, my psyche then felt completely burned. I was having to start over in some ways and very slowly build myself up from about the age of approximately a 2 to 4 years old. After that I listened to tapes numerous times during the day just to get through the day or be able to run an errand such as grocery shopping. I was not like that before seeing him. My feelings of fear and apprehension were beyond my ability to be able to express to anyone. There really were no words to describe my experience but I knew I would never want another human being to go through what I did. It was truly unfathomable. He told me a few weeks later, after the big break, that he had been psyche pied before. Why would he help facilitate another person going through such a horrible experience? Many years later I learned from another source that he was using hypnosis tactics that were deemed illegal years ago because of the controlling effects they had on the listener. They are disguised in his recordings as nature sounds. I realized many, many years later, that the only explanation for the many odd hardships in my life were most likely because he was helping to facilitate followup through experimentation on the mkultra experiment victims. I feel unlikely that I was the only one these things were being done to. It has been evident to me that he has used this research at my expense to further his professional career. That and numerous other topics he refused to discuss with me rather than helping me to learn and cope with regards to such things that I needed to really talk about in a healing, therapeutic relationship. Hypnosis, along with many other horrendous tortures were used on the victims who were CHILDREN in the mkultra experiments. Rather than truly helping them, from the research I have done and my personal experience, they are being further experimented on in bogus blind studies, giving false information to gain contract money from the government or whatever agencies or possibly universities to pay for their continuing tortures. He asked me to write some reviews a few years ago because a patient said something bad about him. His comment was that«she wasn’t ready for what I was doing.» He gave me a long list of websites that did ratings on health care professionals to send them favorable comments about him. I felt I owed him as he let me see him over the years without charging me very much as I was rather poor most of my life. I filled out about half of them but had to tweak the truth a little to make them look good which is not something I would normally want to do. He closely guards a reputation of looking perfect. I regret that I gave into his request. I would not be able to prove about the contract money but I do know for a fact that people are contracted to do such things. I feel horrible that I recommended some of my friends to him which he did see. Their lives got weird after that also, as well as our relationships did not continue to be as wholesome and carefree as before. Just FYI he also speaks German and one of the African languages. Don’t let him fool you. He is a master storyteller as his hypnosis recordings reveal. I wouldn’t go near one of them again.
