Should You Use Scripts In Your Hypnotherapy Sessions?

I was talking to a good friend and newly qualified hypnotist recently, and we were discussing the pros and cons of using scripts when working with clients. He confided that he really hates using scripts… but if he doesn’t use a script he doesn’t know what to say. A lot of us feel awkward with [...]

Past Life Regression: Is It Real? Is It A Metaphor? Does It Really Matter?

It’s a controversial area of hypnosis, this idea of traveling back in our minds to previous lifetimes. I find it fascinating, yet I’m also something of a skeptic. There are those who swear by it and those who swear about it! Many people who are otherwise great proponents of hypnosis, will state that past life [...]

Hypnosis and Systematic Desensitization – Why Not Just Use The Real Thing?

Systematic desensitization… it’s long been used to help people overcome their fears and phobias. But what is it, and how does hypnosis make it more effective? Most people who have developed a fear of something have had an initial traumatic experience that started it all off. But not everyone who has a traumatic experience develops [...]

5 Ways To Make Your Visualizations More Powerful

With many types of hypnosis work, visualizations are a core aspect of what we hypnotherapists do. While you might occasionally get away with, “Imagine you’re in a beautiful place”, most clients will want a few more clues! So how can you make the visualizations you use more powerful? How can you make it almost impossible [...]

Hypnosis Induction Training with Taylor Sherman

A few weeks ago I ask everyone on my mailing list what they wanted to learn about and I got a overwhelming response.

Hypnosis For Inner Child Work I just love doing Inner Child Work, both with clients and on myself. It’s fascinating and amazingly effective.

The Inner Child – What’s It All About?

Sunday, July 3, 2011

0 Comments

The Inner Child – it’s a concept that’s been around a pretty long time now, with its roots in Jung and even Freud. It’s also a concept that clinical hypnotists frequently work with, as it fits so well with hypnotism. As a practicing hypnotist, you would be expected to be able to offer inner child [...]

The Pre-Hypnosis Interview – Why Bother?

It’s generally seen as good practice to add a 20 minute slot to the appointment when someone is coming to see you for the first time, so you can carry out a pre-hypnosis interview. I’m not talking about the pre-talk, here, although you may end up incorporating that into the pre hypnosis interview too if [...]

What Makes A Good Hypnosis Pre-talk?

Friday, June 10, 2011

What’s the point of a Hypnosis Pre-talk? The pre-talk in hypnosis is pretty much the most important part of dealing with any client. If you don’t do a good pre-talk (please don’t tell me you don’t do one at all!), you’re really jeopardising your chances of success. And don’t forget, it’s not just your own [...]
