Holly Stokes, The Brain Trainer herself, makes it clear that she's no counselor—though that wasn't always the case. Holly previously worked as a counselor for troubled teens, helping them heal through wilderness programs, and she has a degree in psychology, among many other certifications. But brain training is more than just therapy, when clients rehash old problems; it's a means of fixing those problems. Through life coaching, neuro-linguistic programming—a "re-programming" of the brain—and hypnotherapy, Holly reshapes the way her clients approach problems and setbacks, from weight loss to public speaking, so that they can reach their goals.
