Diane Sawyer Walks On Fire

Hey Everyone

I have had a lot going on lately and all of it is great stuff. Beside working on getting Southern Hypnosis & Consulting off of the ground I have also been involved with a lot of networking. I was recently approached by Ellie of The Transparent Hypnotist blog to participate in her interview series called 10 Questions. I am honored by being asked to be part of his interview series which has included interviews from well known names such as Adam Eason, Paul Knight, Tom Nicoli and others.

Things have come long way since the first person was ever hypnotized. We have learned so much more about hypnosis, patterns and the way our words affect suggestion and the way they affect the client.

This is the year 2008 and many of us are still using words that are causing hypnotist to shoot themselves in the foot. As we all know the media has really given hypnosis a bad rep over the years. While their are some good reports out there, certain movies and books have convinced people that what we do is magic or something from the occult. The average person tends to think we have “super powers” or some type of control over people. So it’s important that we stop using certain words that give people the wrong idea about what we do. I also promise that if you start to change your vocab you will notice a strong difference in the way your sessions go.

Hello Everyone

I have been getting a lot of e-mails asking is it possible to hypnotize people in a loud location. So I thought I would write a little article about how to work with clients in these situations.

First off, it is possible to perform hypnosis in a loud location and it’s done all the time. While the client and I might prefer a quiet location this isn’t always possible. The fact of the matter is that unless you have a sound proof booth their will always be some type of noise around. For instance, noises such as cars passing by, the A/C or heater coming on, People making noise outside, dogs barking and so much more.

Hey Everyone

To be honest I am feeling a little guilty. I ended up purchasing a recliner for my practice Southern Hypnosis, but spent more then I told everyone I would.

I ended up going to J.D. Kinders and really didn’t see anything I liked until I walked into the back room. As I walked into the back room I saw the perfect chair for my practice. It was a really nice recliner and boy was it comfortable.

The problem was that the price tag was a lot more then $150 and a lot more then $500.00. I will keep the actual cost to myself, but it was up their. I then remembered that I had a credit line at J.D. Kinder and started to think about my options.

I knew I needed a chair for my office, but I did want to stay within a certain price range. I also knew that whatever chair I bought I was more then likely going to replace once I got a little more money. This would mean spending even more money. The great thing about this chair is that it is perfect and I won’t have to replace it a few years from now. Plus, my credit line allows up to 12 months no interest. Within a few months the chair can pay for it’s self when I do sessions.

Hey Everyone

Sorry for the lack of post lately, but I’ve been putting out some fire within my real estate company. I got most of them put out, but still dealing with a situation or two.

I have also been really busy with setting up my future hypnosis practice Southern Hypnosis. So I’ve been working on setting up my office, working on business plans and similar business oriented things. I have also been studying a lot of stuff related to hypnosis still because education never stops with the field of hypnotism. The only way to get better is to continue to expand my knowledge and understanding of hypnosis. The great part about knowledge is just when you think you know enough you realize you don’t even know half.

I have also been working on finishing up the final details for SouthernHypnosis.com, which I hope will be done sometime in Feb or March. I’m taking my time to make sure all the bugs are worked out rather then throwing some half-done product out their. Credibility is everything to me and if it takes some extra time to make sure it’s ready then it’s worth it to me.

Hey Everyone

As you can all read from the title of this post. I have finally decided on a name for my practice. I decided to go with Southern Hypnosis. It’s simple and to the point and thats all that matters to me.

I am still working on the site, but I have registered the domain name and got a coming soon page loaded. I don’t want to waste any time and want to jump into action. I won’t actually upload the site until I am 100 percent done. Well just thought I would let all of you know Southern Hypnosis will soon be realized.

Hello Everyone

Today has been a very big day for me overall. My hypnosis class was today, but due to being under the weather I had to stay home. I just didn’t feel safe driving to Atlanta while on medication. So I was able to attend the class by phone so I wouldn’t lose any class time. Missing class wasn’t the only thing I was worried about. Today was my National Guild of Hypnotist certification exam, which I have been waiting to take.

This is the big day for me and this site since the goal of this site is to document my journey to become the youngest certified hypnotist in Columbus, Georgia. I was pretty upset that I got sick the same week of the test, but luckily I was still able to take the test even though I couldn’t make it to Atlanta. My wonder teacher allowed me to take the test at my home. She basically told me she could fax me the test and we could go from their.
