Clearing the Air on Hypnotherapy - How Alton Reynolds is improving the lives of Atlanta's Seniors!

00:00 /

Return guest Alton Reynolds wears a multitude of hats! He has been serving in the “helping professions” both on the clinical and business side of healthcare for nearly 40 years. A native of New York’s Finger Lakes district, Alton started his career providing psychiatric assessments of Navy and Marine personnel returning from Viet Nam. He went on to ear his Masters Degree in the Psychology of Learning from Temple University. Nearly thirty years ago, Alton’s wife, Essy, founded the Hypnosis Center of Dunwoody. While Alton has assisted in providing services in and through Essy’s business for many years, Alton has recently taken his passion for helping people through counseling and hypnotherapy on a more full time basis.

Originally rooted in historical Trasactional Analysis research, Alton counsels his patients to evaluate and address three natural human states: The parent – focusing on self-nurturance rather than self-criticism, The adult – working on cognitive skills and decision-making, and the child – focusing on joy, happiness, creativity and spontaneity. Alton acknowledges that hypnotherapy can only be effective is a person wants to change and improve. It is not mind control or manipulation, but rather a gentle encouragement through the use of relaxation techniques that facilitate identification and change of troublesome behaviors. Alton notes, “whatever you think about most is generally what you will experience in life”, making it essential to think productive and positive thoughts.

For more information on the Hypnosis Center of Dunwoody, visit them on the web at www.hypnosisdunwoody.com, or call them at (770) 390-0444. To reach Alton directly, call him on his mobile phone at (404) 932-2755.

The Power of Familiarity – Life Transition Expert, Robyn Bartlett!

The Power of Familiarity - Life Transition Expert, Robyn Bartlett!

00:00 / 00:34:21

A rare native Atlantan (Lakewood Heights), Robyn Bartlett has had a lifelong love of learning. Even after raising three children and engaging in a rewarding career, Robyn is still a student, now working completing a doctoral program at Capella University. Working as a Marketing Director with a local Assisted Living Community, Robyn was baffled at her new residents’ reaction to move-in day. Though these new residents seemed to be accepting, even excited, about the new arrangement, moving day was often rocky. In fact, she noticed that on move-in day, the other residents of the community would go to their rooms and shut the door!

Robyn tells us that some residents refused to get of their cars, and one woman even tried to jump out of her daughter’s car on the way to the community! It became obvious to Robyn that move-in day was filled with fear and trepidation for both residents and their families. Not being equipped to deal with this phenomenon, Robyn went back to school and ended up writing her Master’s Thesis on Social Role Theory, Identity, Belief Systems and the Power of Familiarity. This work led her to develop a comprehensive Transition Program that was implemented in a new Assisted Living Community, and it worked – 100% of the time!

Though she founded Life Transition Experts back in 1999, since January of this year, she has been doing this work full time. Listen in on tips for a successful transition, and join her Transition Tips Webinar being held on June 28, from 9am to 12pm. To register, call Robyn at 404-422-7234, or go to her website at www.lifetransitionexperts.com.

Do You Know What Grief Looks Like? Anne Keeton, Grief to Relief, Provides Unique Insight

Do You Know What Grief Looks Like? Anne Keeton, Grief to Relief, Provides Unique Insight

00:00 / 00:38:25

Return guest, Anne Keeton, Founder and President of Grief to Relief, defines grief as “conflicting feelings about a change or end to a familiar pattern or behavior”. While we commonly think about grief in relation to a death, catastrophic injury or illness, grief can surprise us in many more mundane circumstances, like a child going to college, a move, or a change in health status. Sometimes the change can be a good change, but creates mixed emotions in an individual. This is a form of grief!

Handling grief is like having a flat tire. It doesn’t fix itself. There are certain key steps that need to be taken in order to repair the damage. And no one is immune. It will happen to you! And often, loss breeds more loss – “when it rains, it pours”! Listen in as Anne provides some advice about developing a Grief Recovery skill set.

For more information about Grief to Relief, contact Anne at (678) 653-5513, or email her at Anne@GriefToRelief.com. Note that Anne has a new Grief Recovery group class starting on June 23. It will be held in her office in Peachtree Corners.
