  • Overcoming Burnout with Hypnotherapist Garrett Wood
    Sep 25 2025

    Burnout is hitting harder than ever, but most people don’t know how to fight back. Eric and hypnotherapist Garrett Wood dive deep into what burnout feels like, why it lingers, and how to retrain your brain to rise above it.

    Garrett Wood, NBC-HWC, is a clinical hypnotherapist, executive functioning specialist, and founder of Gnosis Therapy. He works with executives, founders, and entrepreneurs who want sustainable high performance without trading health or relationships. Over 18 years he developed the A3 Framework, Assess, Accommodate, Align, which maps capacity across seven drivers of performance: sensory intelligence, bio-budgets, emotional regulation, core beliefs, attachment patterns, values, and executive functioning strengths. He applies clinical hypnotherapy, outcome-based coaching, and somatic tools to end the boom-and-bust cycle of burnout and support consistent, durable results.
