I'm wondering -- WHAT TOOK SO LONG? I charge by the hour so I'd be really well off on a 5 hour session.

Typically I conduct longer sessions for clients who drive greater distances and want it all in one day. My longest session ever ended up being five hours for a client who drove over 12 hours (each way) to have me assist with a variety of concerns. We initially scheduled two 2-hour sessions and ended up continuing without the scheduled break in between.

My longest non-stop smoking cessation from start to finish is only 3-hours though. Five hours does seem like a long time, however it could happen if the client wanted to get to the source of their presenting issues and also had some challenge getting into state. Another issue may have required clearing energy.

Getting everything handled in one session requires more training than a basic course in hypnosis. There is much to learn. Keep studying and refining your skills. On the other hand, a newbie might take that long if unskilled, yet lasting results is king.

I wonder what they charged for 5 1/2 hours. I don't think I would want to sit with a client that long.

Perhaps both parties involved utilized time distortion so it was really rather short!

I once did five minutes, but they needed to use the bathroom.

The rumour is that John Lennon had one that was at least that long, Of course he also stopped May Pang and picked up Yoko Ono in the process .....

Average Smoking Cessation is about an hour and a half intake, and 20-25 minutes for trance work..
