EXCERPTS FROM RENO GAZETTE JOURNAL ARTICLE
After spending most of her career as an
accountant and earning a law degree, Tonda
Adams opted to leave it all behind for
something she never thought she'd do.
She has been on a quest of personal and
spiritual growth since she was twenty three
years old, and this quest has directed her to
a new career as a hypnotherapist.
Tonda applied hypnotherapy to her own life
when her second husband died of a sudden
heart attack while she was in her second year
of law school. Her husband had convinced her
to attend law school, so they could practice
law together. She finished law school and
continued managing the law firm.
She eventually decided to seek out grief
counseling with a Certified Clinical
Hypnotherapist and found herself gravitating
toward a Certification in Hypnotherapy.
Interestingly enough, it was a discipline Tonda had
been introduced to while studying for a degree in
accounting in the 1980s. In a university class on
business psychology, she learned how salespeople could
use Neuro-Linguistic Programming, a technique used in
hypnosis, to put buyers at ease and create rapport.
When Tonda entered hypnotherapy, she not only overcame
her grief, but also healed childhood traumas and
gained insight into her early marriage to a man she
didn't love. In the end she realized that she wanted
to practice hypnotherapy and not law.
She learned that her life experiences were a gift
because she could use them to help people help
themselves, employing techniques of Carl Jung, Milton
Erickson, Bandler and Grinder, and Virginia Satir --
in addition to her own techniques and training,
developed through years of experiences.
