When you first started hypno......
When you first started hypnosis, brand new beginner, if you could go back and give yourself some advice that you know now, something you think you should have known or been told back in the day (assuming you been here in the business for ages), What would you say? what advice would you give yourself?

Hi Leo,
I'd tell myself to slow down! I love to learn and am a very quick study anyway, but especially when enthralled, so I tend to speed things up way more than necessary.
I went to practice groups and had great mentors. All in all my start was fine.
Kind regards,
Michelle

Although I have only began my studies in the middle of this year, I can attest to a few things I would have done differently from the beginning. I would suggest anyone looking to pursue hypnosis as a stage career or in a clinical setting should practice their pre-talk, inductions & scripts until you know them forward and backward. I will have to update this in 6 months when I can look back on today.

Well Leo.. Seems that everybody has given you some of the BEST advice in the world. ( You and every other hypnotist who takes the time to learn at the feet of some of the worlds best hypnotists here on hypnothoughts. What a GREAT resource this is...)
I suppose rather than parrot what everyone else is saying... I thought I would see if I could put a different spin on it.
There is NOTHING that can supplant the confidence that success buys you... and there is no better way to confidence than being successful by practicing it over and over and over again. AND you can have better success by having more confidence.
HEY.. thats a catch 22. You get confidence by being successful.. and you get better success when you are confident! Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Rather than practice JUST on friends and family and people who know you as " JUST LEO"... go to places where you can act AS IF your are LEO THE GREAT. Act AS IF you have the confidence of a seasoned performer.. and hypnotize/practice on total strangers who BELIEVE that you are a fabulously successful wunderkind hypnotist. They believe it.. BECAUSE you TELL them you are.. or IMPLY that you are..
So.. this guy is walking down the street in NY.. he asks a doorman, " How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" Door man just looks at him and says....
Practice... practice.. practice....

Just go for it, do it, seems to be the general consensus, but as well as that
Trust Your Unconscious!
Let what happens happen, take every opportunity you can to use what you learn Positively, and forget about the frame of 'failure'

Don't believe the bull sh*t.
9 10ths of what you'll learn you'll never use.
Find a mentor who does one thing really well and ignore the Jack-of-all-trades people.
Find one thing you do really well and don't get side tracked.

Awesome advice jon, and judging by your work and how much i admire you and it, i would really take that advice, what would you say then is your specialty? the one thing "really well" ?

Practice, Practice, Practice and try different techniques and learn from more then one mentor to see what style fits you and what you are looking for.
Remember you might like certain things or you might not feel comfortable you don't have to agree with all styles pick one that you like and let it fit you....
Practice and have fun and you'll have confidence in what you do..it comes in time..

Well my first time hypnotising somone elce was rememberal and it was kinda cool in a way, they fell asleep laying on rocks. But i got them to do some preety enteertaining things such as, can't remember there name, and can't move there arms. That was one yea ago, and now i am doing what i did that day, every day! and then some ideas to boot. I am so happy with hypnosis, justy need to get surtified still. But i am doing great so far.
Leo Gopal said:also i have heard that confidence and intent is one of the main problems for new hypnotists especially their first few inductions, any advice? how was your FIRST induction?

I'm an analytical resister who NEVER managed to experience even medium depth during my months of study at the Charles Tebbetts Hypnotism Training Institute.
If I went back in time, I would network with a fellow student and spend enough time outside the classroom to ask him/her to use a mental confusion induction combined with enough "convincers" to help me experience trance and validate it.

Get over your doubts and personal confidence issues asap and start to value yourself very highly in terms of what you can do to help people.
Understand that you can be a catalyst for people to achieve incredible changes and growth and worrying about your own abilities and worthiness is an out and out distraction. Stop thinking about yourself and focus 100% on your clients and their outcomes.
Just work with issues you're confident you understand and enjoy growing and flourishing.

To not listen to my instructor who said I would never figure out how hypnosis and trance works and to just use it as he taught it and just be glad it works, and said for me to accept the fact that 15% of the population are too analytical to be hypnotized.
Once I realized that my instructor did NOT know it all, and did my own research, and mapped the hypnosis/trance mechanism, I began routinely to be able to hypnotize those claiming they were analytical resisters, who wanted to experience trance but had failed during previous attempts with other hypnotists and figured it was hopeless.
