The Business of Hypnosis: What Hypnotists Really Make

What does hypnosis really feel like, and can hypnotherapy actually help with anxiety, chronic pain, smoking cessation, habit change, and performance?

We sit down with Tommy Giorlando, a professional hypnotist with 20 years of experience in stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy, to separate fact from fiction. He explains what hypnosis is, why it works, how it differs from the dramatic version we see in movies, and what is actually happening when someone enters a hypnotic state.

We also talk about hypnotherapy as a career and business, including safety, client work, earning potential, and how hypnosis is used to help people change automatic patterns without medication or traditional talk therapy.

Tommy shares how hypnosis can be used for chronic pain, anxiety, smoking cessation, behavior change, confidence, performance psychology, and flow state, including techniques similar to those used by elite athletes.

If you’re curious about becoming a hypnotist or hypnotherapist, how much hypnotherapists make, what hypnosis can help with, or whether hypnosis really works, this episode offers a practical look at the science, the business, and the real-world applications of hypnosis.

About the host: Mirav Ozeri has always been drawn to storytelling and journalism, especially the stories of everyday people.

In the 90’s She founded her own video production company, producing, directing, and editing documentaries and videos for political organizations which led to a 17-year career at CBS News, where she served as a producer/editor, helped launch CBS MarketWatch, and later worked as a senior editor and segment producer until the program was acquired by Dow Jones.

During her years at CBS, Mirav developed and produced a television pilot built around a simple idea: giving people an honest look at what different careers are really like. Although the pilot was never picked up, the concept stayed with her. Years later, she brought it back as How Much Can I Make?, a podcast that explores real jobs, real stories, and the many paths people take to build a career.
