Make a Life Change with Hypnosis

Whether it’s quitting smoking, losing weight, wanting a good night sleep, or anything you’d like to change to feel healthier and in better control of yourself and life, hypnosis can help dramatically improve the quality of life. Barry Wolfson, M.S., director of Hypnosis Counseling Center, shares “We see clients in person and virtually at both our locations. We’ve also offered group classes at over 35 adult schools and recreation centers throughout New Jersey to help people quit smoking and lose weight with tremendous results.” The next set of classes will be held on begining at 6:30 p.m., on October 5, at Crossroads South Middle School, 195 Major Rd., in Monmouth Junction. 

Hypnosis is a safe, medically approved method of behavior modification therapy that really works. Testimonials on the center’s website are numerous. As one seminar participant reported, “Barry – just want to say Thank You! – Today is my ONE YEAR anniversary of quitting smoking after almost 38 years, so – THANK YOU!.” 

$50 per class; see calendar listing on page 38 for details. Offices at 28 Mine St., Flemington; and 43 Tamarack Circle, Princeton. Appointments in person or virtually. For more information, contact Barry at 908-303-7767 or [email protected]HypnosisCounselingCenter.com. See ad, page 7.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
