Dear Virginia,

I read your excellent article in TVia 67. I found it most informative and can remember way back to a question "Am I?". Reading of articles such as yours has set me straight. Sad will be the day when there are no more articles to read on the many subjects.

Dear Dr. Prince:

we've

My TV husband and I have been married for seventeen years been good friends and have worked together to raise five boys and to build two businesses. It's been a great marriage except for the fact that my husband is a TV and I have not been able to accept it and there has been that vague but ever present question in our minds about how long we could live with this sometimes untenable situation.

I have been grateful to you over the years for providing my husband with the moral support that I could not give. A few years ago I read your book, The TV and his Wife, but I read the letters from wives who had made the adjustment with despair for I felt that I would never be able to write you such a letter. It appeared that there was no real solution for us — I just tried to deemphasize (or ignore) the reality that I could not bear to face.

Recently, I began to do quite a bit of reading on the subject of hypnosis - I was intrigued with the possibilities and asked my physician to refer me to a psychiatrist-hypnotist. Although I canie precariously close to breaking the appointment, I went to see the psychiatrist he had recom- mended and told him what I wanted to achieve. In the weeks that followed, through the use of posthypnotic suggestions, some "therapeutic" tears, and much reasoning, I was able to overcome my resistance to changing my attitude toward my husband and his harmless pastime and to give him my full co-operation. I was a “good subject" and a "classic case" and therapy was very straight-forward it took a half dozen sessions at $35.00 per session, although his original estimate had been ten to twelve sessions. Although this represents a bit of an investment, a hypnotist is lots cheaper than a lawyer and can save an untold amount of misery my only regret is that I did not find this solution much, much sooner!
