Good Men Project, a digital platform for exploring men's changing roles, features Atlanta hypnotist Sean Wheeler discussing the effects of over-prioritizing work to the detriment of family — and how to change course.

In a recent feature for The Good Men Project, Pure Hypnosis founder and renowned hypnotherapist Sean Wheeler sounded the alarm for high-achieving fathers: success at work means nothing if it hurts connections at home. Wheeler became passionate about this topic after helping many clients overcome workaholism, or the harmful effects of parents’ workaholism, through hypnosis. Earlier this year, he released a book called “The Executive Dad’s Playbook” to give busy fathers practical solutions for harmonizing work demands, personal wellness, and family relationships.
The Good Men Project frequently draws on leading professionals like Wheeler to examine the changing roles of modern men. The article about Wheeler describes the price executive fathers often pay to get ahead and the resulting toll on marriages and parent-child relationships that leads to lifelong emotional voids. Drawing on his 22 years of experience in hypnotherapy for relationships and his personal journey as a father, Wheeler offers a new path forward — one grounded in presence, balance, and intentional parenting.
“There is no amount of money that will ever buy back the time with your kids,” Wheeler explains. “I choose, almost every day, to prioritize spending time with my wife and daughter at the expense of making more money more quickly.”
The article shares Wheeler’s tools for modern fatherhood, including:
- Prioritization: Reclaiming time as a limited resource and allocating it smartly.
- Boundaries: Separating work from family time with intention.
- Presence: Learning to shut out work distractions and be fully focused and engaged on the home front.
- Mindset Shifts: Rewiring mindsets that cast the value of work as being higher than relationships.
- Communication and Role Modeling: Building open dialogue with children while teaching values through example.
Wheeler’s message is deeply informed by his hypnotherapy work with people who carry emotional wounds tied to emotionally distant fathers, as well as fathers trying to break the cycle of workaholism. In his Atlanta-based hypnotherapy clinic known as Pure Hypnosis, Wheeler helps executive dads rewire mental patterns that lead to overwork, stress, and emotional disconnection. By quieting the survival brain — the part that always says “not enough” — men learn to trust that balance won’t break their careers. In fact, it will contribute to greater success at work and at home.
“I have a long track record of helping people heal from the effects of workaholic or distant fathers, but it’s especially important to me to help break the cycle so future generations don’t get wounded by unavailable fathers in the first place,” said Wheeler. “I’m proud to be part of this preventative process.”
Wheeler first turned to hypnotherapy to overcome performance anxiety during his career at CNN. That experience sparked a transformation, urging him to master the art of hypnosis and open Pure Hypnosis in 2003. Since then, he has conducted more than 15,000 hypnosis sessions, helping clients overcome workaholism, smoking, heartache from breakups, anxiety and phobias, and more. In Atlanta, he is fondly referred to as “the Heartbreak Hypnotist” for helping callers on the city’s most popular morning show, Q100’s “The Bert Show,” heal relationships.
