"With Jerry's gentle and non-judgmental persistence, I have found the voice that had been stifled by a childhood of emotional abuse imposed upon me by my father. In a deep and yet at the same time strangely lucid trance, I am completely present and become able to view myself objectively. I can float effortlessly into areas of my childhood previously unexplored and in dire need of soothing and expression. At a young age I had learned to medicate the pain of the torture endured by this innocent child with drugs. With phenomenal skill and patience, he leads me to the walls that are holding in the pain, the terrible pain which led to addiction to pain killers. We approach the maze of confused childhood memories together. With this team approach, I'm not afraid to go there and see and feel what happened. I strongly recommend taking a ride with Jerry." "I am writing you to let you know about an incident that occurred today while in a conversation with my Uncle Frank. Just some background real quick--my uncle Frank lives in Oklahoma, a retired army sergeant of 22 years of service. When I checked into my drug treatment program I had called and told him I was having minor surgery and I would call him soon. Long story short, my mother called him and told him where I was and why. So I have not spoken to him at all until today, at which point I was telling him about all the things I had done in addictions treatment including your hypnotherapy session with me. In this session I wanted to make my boyfriend leave my house and break it off. As it is, he can be volatile and refuses to leave. So with your help we brought in my Uncle Frank, who did his job well. So he was silent for a minute, he asked me when this session happened? I told him the 30th of June. Then he said "I had a dream a few weeks ago just around the time of the session that I came to your house and you were distraught and there was a man there. I can’t place the face (he has never met my ex-boyfriend) but I made him leave and you were happy and I was happy that I had helped you." This made goosebumps all over me; I asked him if he was joking and he wasn't. Normally I don't believe in these things. I am not one to believe stories about twins who are across town from each other--one hurts herself the other feels it. But this is not a coincidence by any means. It really cannot be explained, Jerry, so I hope that you know you really are doing something that is beyond this plane of existence." "Jerry's creative breakthroughs class is beyond compare or description. I have never had such a unique and fruitful small group therapy experience before. I came to the class thinking how I could become more pro-active in my creative life and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could apply what I discovered there to many other aspects of my life. I have learned to be more receptive to the fusing of the subconscious and conscious minds. I have learned to embrace and nurture various inner "selves" of my being which has helped me greatly in getting over my creative blocks. i now have more belief and confidence in what i do not only on a creative level but on an interpersonal level too. Jerry’s approach to therapy and self-help is filled with insights, humor, sensitivity, realism, and much more. I have always wanted to better my life by "finding" myself and come closer to realizing my creative potential. Through Jerry and the group process, I’m finally getting there. Thanks!!!!! "After 4 weeks in Jerry's class, Awakening the Muse, I wrote and recorded the first song I've written in over a year. The class has made me feel more in touch with myself and my creativity, has helped me find time in my life to be creative and connected me to a wonderful group of supportive, positive artists. Jerry's patience, kindness and all around good vibes make this a class I am always looking forward to." “I loved working with Jerry. He creates an atmosphere of trust and enthusiasm with his presence of total support, warmth, and caring. I felt safe and empowered.” -- L. A., Business Manager, San Carlos “Jerry helped me sort through a complex web of confusing problems that were keeping me from moving forward. Months later, the work we did together is still having a profound effect.” -- J. W., Horticulturist & Writer, Point Richmond “There is absolutely no question that my life has changed for the better as a result of my working with Jerry. After two sessions, two specific problems I’d been grappling with in six years of therapy were simply gone. First, I had been experiencing panic attacks, feeling as though I’d been dropped into a terrifying void, off and on for years. Since my first meeting with Jerry over a year ago, I have not experienced a single recurrence. Second, after a lifetime of unsatisfying, failed love relationships (I’m in middle age), I saw Jerry about that problem. Two days following, I went on my first date with the man I’m now sharing my life with. It is by far the best relationship I’ve ever been in, and for the first time I feel truly loved and appreciated in return. What I find incredible about Jerry’s work (besides the phenomenal results!) is his psychic awareness. Any question or suggestion that he came up with during our sessions was exactly what was needed at the time. Whatever step I needed to be taken to, I was taken to in the most expert way. I recommend Jerry Zeiger as a hypnotherapist without reservation.” -- L.K., Teacher, Doctoral Candidate, Albany Smoke-Free After One Session I was shocked that I actually quit smoking after only one session of hypnosis. I tried no less than eight times in the past two years, including again and again throughout my pregnancy. When I drove away from Jerry's that amazing day (November 13, 2004), I was overwhelmed with emotions; I just knew I had already had my last cigarette. I went into this therapy with the attitude that it would work for me. No matter what, I was ready. I do believe this intention solidified my success. It was kind of weird at first, you know... a new environment, remembering times long ago, making up images to help me envision...all that. Jerry made me feel so relaxed and hopeful, I just knew it would work for me. What surprises me the most is how disgusted I am with cigarettes now. I cannot stand the smell of my still-smoking friends. My friends keep asking if I'm craving cigarettes and I truly am still grossed out. It's not that I have not thought about one of those yucky little suckers but I'm not fiending, nor have I had much withdrawal (other than some restless nights). I've had plenty of tense/stressful moments and have not once thought to just have a smoke. I am eternally grateful for being able to finally quit after 21 years of hard-core puffing. Thanks, Jerry. I hope you can save many more lives. You truly helped me save mine! xx, — Nik (Nicole), Walnut Creek A Second Chance I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the session we had together during my treatment. I cannot even begin to tell you the sense of relief and strength I feel as a result of this one session with you. I went into the experience with a desperate heart and an open mind and came out whole and at peace. For the first time in my life I feel comfortable in my own skin. I feel that my inner child has gotten a second chance to grow and be free, in a nurturing safe environment. Not only did you give me freedom from the chains of abandonment, but you equipped me with valuable tools I could use if that horrible feeling of emptiness returned, which I am happy to report it has not. Thank you so much, my recovery would not be nearly as stable if I had not been able to go to the core and deal with my most nagging issues.--C. G., Fairfield Overcoming Shyness I thought I would never overcome my timidity in speaking a foreign language. After embarrassing and emotionally difficult experiences in my youth, I was plagued for decades with shyness and embarrassment when attempting to communicate in Spanish. After one session with Jerry the issue slipped my mind--so imagine my surprise when I traveled to a Spanish-speaking country a few months later and found myself chattering like a magpie! The shift inside me was effortless and profound. I am very grateful.--A.M., Pt. Richmond “In my past eleven years on the spiritual path, one of my most powerful experiences has been Jerry’s piercing clarity of psychic perception in combination with his gentle integrity.” -- J.P., Counselor, Mancos, CO “Jerry Zeiger is a wonderfully intuitive guide on the hypnotherapy journey. Speaking as a hypnotee, I can say that his wry humor gives you perspective on even the darkest moments of your life experience. His capacity to be completely supportive of where you are at feels like a surprise present. And the leaps he makes as a guide, to just the spot you needed to go to, can justifiably be called psychic.” -- M.H., Video Producer, Berkeley From a post to www.craigslist.org August 15, 2002 I Just Tried The Hypnotherapy for the Creatively Bogged Down-WOW! On August 9th, there was a posting here on CL entitled, "Hypnotherapy for the Creatively Bogged Down." I was at an extremely low point in my life, and had been slowly dying (inwardly) from writer's/artist's block for more years than I care to say. I e-mailed the guy. Set up a session. Well, I just got home from a session with Jerry. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I am now finishing the book that's been sitting in the desk drawer for 6 years, but for the first time-I FEEL LIKE I CAN! I actually WANT to write and paint and do my art. No Prozac, no Serzone, no booze or weed or E has made me feel this way before. This is not a shill post. I met Jerry for the first time tonight, but I can say in all sincerity-if you have issues, get in touch with him! He is gentle, caring, non-threatening and REAL. He creates a safe space and lets you get in touch with what ails you, without scaring you, and without making you feel like you'll have to keep coming back for 95 sessions. Worth every penny AND MORE. You owe it to yourself. I feel like I just got my life back. -- Chris And
