On Sunday April 1, Lehigh Valley Mall opened its doors early to bring the colorful fun of the Easter season to children with special needs at its Caring Bunny event. Children and their families enjoyed a special Easter photo experience with no lines or crowds, which can be overwhelming for some children. There was fun for everyone with photos, Easter Baskets, snacks, and activities. Watch news coverage of the event on WFMZ below.

The Caring Bunny hopped into Oxford Valley Mall yesterday to visit children with special needs. Children with physical and developmental needs and their families enjoyed pictures with the Easter Bunny before regular mall hours, without the overwhelming crowds and music of the traditional mall atmosphere.

Oil Prices Are Forcing People To Drive More… Even Those Who Fear Driving the Most.
How The Fear Of Driving On Highways and Bridges Can Kill (and How It Can Be Fixed so Easily)!

 The price of oil continues to hit new highs, raising the price of many other things; including airfare. Instead of flying, many are hopping in their cars to drive to their favorite vacation spots to save money. For most, this is a suitable alternative. But what if you are too afraid to cross a bridge or pass through a tunnel by car that you simply stay home and never take that trip of a lifetime? The stress caused by traveling phobias doesn’t have to keep you imprisoned at home because you can get the help you need to face your fear through hypnotherapy.

And, there are so many drivers with the fear of highways and bridges that it may put YOUR life in peril! 

The Director of Supply at a major US-based energy company said, “While I do not have data on increasing ticket prices (I am not in the airline industry), I can anecdotally say that increasing fuel prices will contribute to higher airfare and I can also confirm that fuel prices have increased over the past 3 years. Whether or not that this drives (no pun intended) consumers to drive instead of fly is purely speculation at best. Additionally, I think there is a mileage limit to this behavior as a drive to California for one person would be more expensive than this individual to fly.” 

With April designated as National Stress Awareness Month, many healthcare professionals will be devoting major amounts of time and effort to help people manage stress caused by all sorts of triggers. Rather than letting the terror from your fear control you, now is the perfect time to address it through hypnotherapy. 

Bryan Toder, certified clinical hypnotist and owner of the Plymouth Hypnosis Center, will be actively participating in National Stress Awareness Month by helping clients manage the stress and anxiety caused by phobias through hypnosis techniques. While hypnotherapy may sound skeptical to some people, it works because Toder helps clients change their frame of mind toward their phobia. “Through hypnosis, clients can be relaxed, and then we work together on developing the confidence needed to face the specific phobia,” Toder said. 

After leaving Toder’s office, clients have the tools they need to overtake their fear on their own. Toder helps a surprisingly large amount of clients who have fixed their fear of driving through hypnosis. It makes them (and you) safer on the road.

Stress is a major health pitfall for many Americans, and it can be effectively addressed through hypnosis. You can find out more about the health benefits of hypnosis by visiting www.plymouthhypnosis.com. If you would like to interview Bryan Toder about hypnosis for stress or participate in hypnotherapy live, please contact Jennifer Sherlock at jsherlock@jennacommunications.com or 609-369-3482.
