Mike saw he had a hypnotherapy meeting scheduled for a couple and their neighbor.
It wasn’t long before he heard a knock on the door. He hastilly cleared off some chairs and went to greet his customers.
Their were a middle aged man with a beer gut and neck beard in a business suit, that must be George he said looking down at the appointment notes he had written.
Next came a busty blonde woman with a nice figure. She was wearing a low cut tee with a bare midriff and shorts. She was almost George’s age but looked young for her age, if he didn’t know better he’d think she was 30. That must be Sally.
Finally came a 30 something blonde guy in a tee shirt and shorts. The shirt was tight against his smooth muscular body. That must be Michael.
“Have a seat” Mysterioso said, gesturing towards the chairs. “What seems to be the problem?”
“The problem is, I work all day to earn a living for my family only to find my wife cheating on me with THAT man!” George said as he pointed at his neighbor Michael.
“I wouldn’t be sleeping with Michael if you paid as much attention to me as you do your work.” Sally said. ‘He brings paperwork home with him. He’s never not working anymore.”
“Don’t blame me.” Said Michael. “If you were more attentive to your wife’s emotional needs she wouldn’t have went to me,”
“I think I heard enough, let’s get started.” Mike Mysterioso said. He pulled out his coin on a chain and swung it slowly. “Focus on the coin, you are getting sleepy, very sleeeeepy.”. The three people’s eyes followed the coil back and forth, their lids grew heavy, and soon they were in a trance.
Mike Mysterioso then addressed George. “George, you are not George at all. You are Sally. A wife of George who is sleeping with your neighbor Michael.’
“I am Sally” George repeated with a feminine tone to his voice.
Mike Mysterioso then walked up to Sally. “You are not Sally, you are her husband George. You work hard to support your family and just discovered your wife was cheating on you with the neighbor.”
“I am George” Sally repeated.
He then walked up to Michael. “Michael, George over their is not George but Sally the woman you have been sleeping with. The other person is not Sally but her husband George.””
Michael nodded in agreement.
Mike walked back to George and Sally. “George, Sally, please get undressed and wear your appropriate clothing.”
Soon the two of them stripped naked. Sally then put on George’s suit, it was so big she was nearly swimming in it and had to pull the belt tight to keep her pants from falling down.
George meanwhile struggled into sally’s Bra which strained against his broad body. Then he put on her T shirt, the bare midriff revealing his flabby hairy belly.
“Ok” Said Mike Mysterioso. “I will count backwards from five then snap my fingers. Once I snap you will be free to live your new lives. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, SNAP”
The three of them snapped to consciousness.
“Thanks doc” said Sally now thinking she is George. “I have my doubts about hypnotherapy, but maybe this will help keep our family together.”
Dr. Mysterioso waved as they departed, wishing he knew them a bit before hand so he could tell the differences between their real personalities and the ones they act out based on their impressions.
