Gary Barg:

hypnotherapist. What caused the
change in your career?
Helen Reddy:
I had been in show business for
nearly 55 years, since I was five
years old. I wanted to do something
else and hypnotism was a lifelong

GB: You
explore the evolution of that
transition in your book. What
made you decide to write it?
HR: I had

interest because they were
stressing, “Tell us all about sex,
drugs, and rock and roll” so to
speak. That was not really my life.
