I have a friend that needs some help. He's Indian, and does not understand enough English to really make me effective. It also plays into my own ability to not speak his language and help him - so I'm referring out!I'm not sure exactly what dialect he's speaking, but I know he really wants to quit smoking and needs the help.Please contact me, or copy & paste this message into your emails and send them out to your network. Thank you! Blake-at-blakehammerton-dot-com  See More

Blake Alexander Hammerton replied to Marc Carlin's discussion What do you think of clients following your hand movements?
"I agree.  You've got someone there that is so focused on following your movements, tracking your speech, and wondering (almost anxious) to find out what happens next.  I'll bet if you played into it, moving into an arm drop, the…"

Roy Hunter replied to Blake Alexander Hammerton's discussion Do All Self-Hypnosis CDs use Progressive Relaxation?
"While the confusion technique is GREAT for analytical clients, it can really be annoying to someone with a short attention span. (I learned this from experience.) Most hypnosis CD's use progressive relaxation because a higher percentage of…"

"Being a "wordsmith," I use a variety of inductions on my cds.  In session, I like progressive relaxation for clients who really need to unwind.  But I don't speak slowly. It's more the sound of my voice that relaxes…"

Blake Alexander Hammerton replied to Blake Alexander Hammerton's discussion Do All Self-Hypnosis CDs use Progressive Relaxation?
"Excellent everyone!   @Mike, I actually do make my own audio tracks from time to time.  But that's because I already have so many PSH's in my subconscious, my inductions on myself only take 30 seconds.  I think it's…"

Joshua Johnston replied to Blake Alexander Hammerton's discussion Do All Self-Hypnosis CDs use Progressive Relaxation?
"I don't use PMR in my CDs, though I do use relaxation. My inductions take approximately 5 minutes.    You could certainly try a rapid or instant induction, though I suspect it'd be difficult; most, if not all, of those rely on…"

Mike Bowers replied to Blake Alexander Hammerton's discussion Do All Self-Hypnosis CDs use Progressive Relaxation?
"Blake,   Why not make your own relaxation CD using another induction.  I used a variation of Gerald Kein's group induction to create a relaxation CD that can serve as an induction into hypnosis.  I've found that it works…"

Richard Mangelsdorf replied to Blake Alexander Hammerton's discussion Do All Self-Hypnosis CDs use Progressive Relaxation?
"As one of these Hypnotherapists that uses PR for their CDs I thought I'd throw in my reasoning for doing it. The main reason is if a customer bought a CD, they are most likely not familiar and comfortable with going in and out of hypnosis, and…"

Bridget McKenna replied to Blake Alexander Hammerton's discussion Do All Self-Hypnosis CDs use Progressive Relaxation?
"I'm guessing there are a number of them, but what springs to mind is Paul McKenna's CDs. There's mention of relaxation, but not a typical feet-up or head-down progression. Very Ericksonian."
