Dan Geiger, 3825 Trailmaster, Billings, MT 59101, 406 861-5547.
I grew up in Bridger and moved to Billings for 8th grade and freshman
year at Billings Central. Sophomore year I decided to go to the Passionist
Fathers Seminary in Missouri.
Stayed two years, figured it was a good way to get a new Oldsmobile as that
what a lot of the priests were driving. In the meantime my parents moved to Great Falls where I
finished my senior year at GFC. Although I was at GFC only one year made a lot
of good friends and enjoyed the wild times of Great Falls in the 60’s.
Went to the College
of Great Falls and moved back to Billings to get a
counseling degree from Eastern in ’70.
Got married had two daughters, Marie 39 and Keri 37. Divorced and got
remarried in ’95 to Diana. She has two kids, Lyon 41 and Sara 38 and between us
we have five grandkids that are like magnets, a special time in our lives.
Had the bounty to care for my parents Frank and Anna, in
their last days which allowed them to pass on at home with us. I learned a lot
and grew from that experience.
Spent 25 years in counseling and then specialized in
hypnotherapy in ‘98. I have been fortunate to be able to help others over the
years. In ’98 Diana and I volunteered at the Baha’i World Center in Haifa, Israel
for three years and loved it there and traveled every back road in Israel. In 2002-‘03
we traveled around the world stopping in four continents and 15 countries doing
volunteer work for the Baha’i Faith. Here I did a lot of therapy for folks who
didn't have any other resources. Always loved to travel and count about 40 some
countries since high school. I like the back alley travel and usually stay with
families. Sometimes I set up small clinics in a school and provide therapy for
folks without resources and do the therapy with a translator. Yes, you can
hypnotize someone with a translator. I treat folks who can’t find help through
traditional western medicine, lots of neurological, PTSD, depression and most
every physical aliment. If you’re really interested: Google; Dan Geiger
hypnotherapy.
The past four years I have been spending a month in Mongolia and a month in China teaching
hypnotherapy at clinics, universities etc and having a private practice. About
50% of my practice in now on Skype or phone with folks scattered all over the
world.
Diana works with women on personal issues, service projects
with the Baha’i Faith and enjoys doing interior decorating from hut to palace
when we travel.
My last adventure was: Google, Peking
to Paris Race. My next adventure is driving from Germany
through Siberia to Ulaanbaatar,
Mongolia next
spring about 7,500 bumpy miles and hopefully not too many mosquitoes.
I still work a day or so a week but spend my time on the ski
slope, back packing, writing travel stories or just being a duffus. Built a new
house a couple years ago and learned how to a climb ladder, wire, plumb etc. Will
probably continue working part time until I’m 99 as it gives me an avenue to
travel and provide service.
