“I came home so relaxed and positive, and no longer felt alone, but like a human being again,” said Steve L. from Danbury. After many such responses, hypnotherapist Stephanie Dalfonzo, owner of Danbury Hypnosis, knew the free workshop she held in April for the unemployed was a smash hit. So she’s doing it again on Friday, June 5. Stress is one of the most serious effects of unemployment, she says, and can lead to illness. She teaches several stress management techniques at the workshops, as well as guided relaxation sessions. A Certified Hypnotist, Stephanie has successfully helped many with job and unemployment stress in her Deer Hill practice. Her personal experience in managing stressful situations helps too, as her husband had been downsized. “Although my husband has been fortunate to find another position, I understand on a first hand basis the stress that so many are living with daily,” she says.

The workshop will be held on Friday, June 5 at 10 a.m. at 152 Deer Hill Avenue, Danbury. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 203.797.9288, or by emailing [email protected].
