“I have done various kinds of therapy (including CBT, EMDR, and internal family systems) for childhood trauma over the years. While most were helpful on some level in developing skills for coping with the symptoms of PTSD and minimizing their disruption in my life, I had experienced only minimal improvement in the frequency and severity of those symptoms. I had been feeling spiritually and emotionally stuck for a while when Grey invited me to consider doing a spirit journeying session with them. I was initially hesitant, as someone whose spiritual and religious views diverge significantly from Grey's. But because Grey is someone for whom I have a great deal of trust and respect and who I knew would also respect the beliefs and values I would bring to the experience, I took the invitation seriously. After some months, we did a session over the phone. While I still cannot say what I believe actually happened in that session on a metaphysical level, I can say with certainty that it was one of the most emotionally and spiritually profound and psychologically healing experiences of my life. This experience sparked an interest in pursuing hypnotherapy, which I initiated with the therapist with whom I was already working (who is trained in the practice but with whom I had not previously worked in that particular modality), and I later took Grey's course Self-hypnosis: A Bridge between Selves. Self-Hypnosis has become an important aspect of my personal and spiritual practice and the cite of profound healing for the parts of myself wounded by trauma. It is the first kind of therapy that has left me feeling personally empowered in my own healing journey and which has resulted in the actual reduction of symptoms of trauma. My level of embodied anxiety when confronted with triggering material or when revisiting difficult memories is significantly reduced as are the nightmares associated with the trauma. I cannot recommend Grey or their sessions and course highly enough.

I’ve had many years of psychotherapy. I’ve gained a lot of skills over the years. After taking on the task of passing the California bar, I decided to try out another modality, hypnotherapy. The bar caused me a lot of anxiety. Anxiety that took a lot of focus and energy to work through until I found Grey. I was very skeptical and did not know what to expect, this being my first venture into hypnosis. I honestly thought I might not be able to be hypnotized but I was willing to try it out. After only a few minutes of speaking with Grey, I felt at ease and knew I was in well-versed hands. I felt listened to and understood. Their voice and presence is so calming. Once we began the session I went right into an altered state. My first session was about 2 hours long. It felt like 20 minutes. I’ve had 4 sessions in total and every time I came out feeling refreshed and remembered everything.

One of my goals was to not get super anxious during the breaks of the bar. People taking the test always talk about the exam during the breaks. This chatter caused me so much anxiety it interfered in my overall state of mind. After the sessions I was able to close my eyes during the break an go into a semi hypnotic state. While I won’t say I didn’t have any anxiety, it was GREATLY reduced. After the break I felt refreshed and ready to finish the exam. Not like the other times I sat for the test where I felt so drained from having to reorient my anxiety. I was able to remember Grey’s calm voice and positive thoughts throughout the exam. They seemed to just come to me. I left there feeling pretty good as opposed to my first go at the exam where felt beat up for days. My anxiety before, during, and after the exam was about a tenth of what it would have been without Grey’s help. I can’t say enough good things. I tell everyone about it. Try it out. You’ll be telling everyone about your experience too.
