Don Manarino at Lakeland Community College. Mentor, Ohio
Don Manarino hypnotist extraordin-asshole. Good lead in huh? Just wait for it. I won’t let you down. This one promises to be a scorcher if I can download a couple of sound bites to enhance your reading pleasure. (If not, the explanation should suffice.) This man runs a hypnosis program for weight loss, quitting tobacco, and various other sundry things. I have no problem with what he does as I went to a weight loss class that actually worked until I had the displeasure of having to ask the bastard a question.
As you all should know, or have gleaned, by now I work most of the time with a learning and behaviorally disabled population of high school kids. When Don said he has worked wonders with the ADHD crowd I was curious so I sent him an email requesting information. He never responded until I was specific about how the program ran the day he hypnotized me and a friend. Mind you, he never did answer my question regarding the ADHD hypnosis, thanks a huge amount Mr. Cocky.
Anyway, upon our arrival to Lakeland Community College in Mentor, Ohio (or Kirtland depending on who you listen to) we noticed immediately that the classroom would be too small. Where they had us was not even large enough for those who had shown up by the time we got there which was just on time. Others came later yet. Now, this is something that didn’t even start until 6:00 PM so most of us had only been home for a short time and had to leave again. It was only supposed to last only 1 hour so we could, maybe, get other things done. It was not to be. In fact, the person teaching the class, Mr. Manarino, didn’t even show up until almost 6:30 without even so much as an explanation.
This program had a requirement of pre-registration. This, of course, means that someone knew how many people were to be coming to the session. In fact, when we arrived we asked where the class was, and the said they were not quite sure as they ALWAYS wait to schedule those classes until they have the correct numbers. They bit the dust on this one. Once they moved us, now think about who is probably in this class (yep a bunch of fat people wanting to lose weight), they put us in a room of regular student desks. None of us could fit in these without our fat over hanging the top of the desk. I was one of the smaller people there and I was incredibly uncomfortable, thanks again Don. Next, was the fact that we were in a room that was scheduled to be use again in ½ hour. Don, didn’t even take the time to tell the next person so. He just went on about our business, though he did hang a sign on the door. Of course the next instructor did not notice the sign ultimately forcing us to be disturbed while trying to get into the hypnosis. I felt as though it worked, but this is not all there is because my friend was having a very emotional day and ended up crying throughout the majority of the session. As we left she was asked to hang back for a moment. At this moment she said Don asked her to contact him again via email for some possibly professional help for her emotional upheaval.
So…. J contacts Mr. I’m-Better-Than-EVERYONE-Else-in-the-World, who tells her of his shrink friend. No big deal there. I write to him again due to the fact that he has never responded to my earlier email. I write about what I have said above, meaning the venue of our class was poor and that ALL of us should be afforded a complimentary session.
He writes back to me that I should not use J to get something free. I did mention her within the email, second one, but only because he did not know who I was or when I was in the session. I figured that since he was trying to drum up business and J cried throughout the hypnosis he might have an easier time remembering. He accused me of using J’s trauma to further, "…your plans.” Blow me Bitch. You have no idea what transpired before or after your rinky-dink class. How dare you accuse me of such stupidity? I need to use no one to get my point across. In fact, this is my manner and you’ve just been put into writing as one of the people on my steadily growing shit-list. I do have all the proof of what I say within emails sent by me and from Donny-boy as well as voice mail messages saying he would never answer my calls again, he never did answer even one of them so it would be difficult for him to, “never answer one of my calls again.”
Back to the point at hand. The hypnosis worked at first, but it stopped working once I realized what an arrogant asshole the man was. If anyone else in the class happens to read this, please contact me so we can all protest and make the little cocky piece of shit recant his arrogance and give us a refund or at least apologize for the piss-poor room. Fuck you Don Manarino!!
