What's the advantages of having a state licensed hypnosis school?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Richard Nongard - NLPBoard.com Jan 5. 4 Replies 0 Favorites

I'm considering jumping into the massive amounts of forms, documents, fees and red tape, that the state of New York makes you wade through in order to have your school licensed. I'm wondering if…Continue

Wow. He could have given that lap top to someone who needed it. If this is his kid being "rebelious" then I'd say this guy's got it real easy. Or at least he did. I have no idea how much his reaction is going to foster more…

Melissa Tiers replied to James Hazlerig's discussion 'Approaching Psychiatrists and Counselors in my Building'

Hi James, Another idea would be to offer a "learn hypnosis for stress management" evening and invite the local therapists. This way they get an idea of what you offer and walk away with some great skills. I train a lot of doctors and…

Melissa Tiers replied to Kelley Woods's discussion 'Hypnosis for the Arts'

What fun! I would lead a group trance, tapping into one of those moments, where they feel that flow, and have them anchor it to picking up the brush (or whatever). And have them practice. You could also have them create an internal landscape while…

Melissa Tiers replied to Angela J Jessee's discussion 'Gaining Clients... What Works for YOU!!'

One of the things that has helped many of my students lately,who are just starting out, is to do a living social or groupon kind of thing. One student saw 150 clients in two months and really found her voice as a hypnotist. It's getting…

Kelley Woods replied to Melissa Tiers's discussion 'A fly on the wall perspective: A session for social anxiety' in the group Kidsworks

I agree with that observation, Melissa. I recently had a third session with an adolescent who arrived with a stomachache and headache; he requested not to do "hypnosis" but asked instead if I would do some "mind tricks" with him!…

Hi Melissa Phew not sure if that would of appealed, it was the best way for me to get a feel for what you was doing from my perspective. I tend to try to have meals with the family when possible, it is a truly wonderful and often very revealing…

Melissa Tiers replied to Melissa Tiers's discussion 'A fly on the wall perspective: A session for social anxiety' in the group Kidsworks

Thanks Linda, One of the key things you might notice is how the client naturally gestures when they are feeling resourceful. It's almost always the opposite of how they look during the anxiety. Have them then do the gesture as they imagine the…

Melissa Tiers replied to Melissa Tiers's discussion 'A fly on the wall perspective: A session for social anxiety' in the group Kidsworks

Thanks Joe. I went with the trick, because as I was chatting with mom ,while throwing out suggestions and examples, I got a bit of a non verbal hit, when I mentioned some tricks I teach kids. If I didn't, I might have used something else.…

Melissa Tiers replied to Melissa Tiers's discussion 'A fly on the wall perspective: A session for social anxiety' in the group Kidsworks

Thanks Nathan, I love the line by line notation. I think the main use of anchoring in her unconscious gesture set the framework. And as you noticed, there was a lot of reframing, future pacing to generalize, reinforcement of anchors as I spread it…

Joe K Fobes replied to Melissa Tiers's discussion 'A fly on the wall perspective: A session for social anxiety' in the group Kidsworks

Beautiful work. My only comment is on the bit where you framed it as 'tricking her brain'. It seems a bit well 'trick based'. I wonder if something along the lines of 'finding the magic cape she has inside' might be…

Excellent, Melissa! That was a pleasure to read. You've got a lovely way of working with clients.

Hi Melissa I have added a few words to each line as my very brief observations, it was a joy to read it would be so much easier to give more in depth feedback had I actually watched so I hope my brief words go some way to doing justice to what was…

Thanks Kelly. I think my daughter has been and continues to be my greatest teacher. I certainly never would have known the Dora song without her......

Melissa Tiers replied to Melissa Tiers's discussion 'A fly on the wall perspective: A session for social anxiety' in the group Kidsworks

Thanks Scott, and yes, we can't know all the factors involved but by giving her an anchor for confidence and allowing that to generalize, we can cover a lot. There's a great quote by Anais Nin, that says "we don't see the world…

Fantastic recipe from a Master Chef, Melissa. Thank you for demonstrating the power of listening and utilizing what our small clients bring. I can't help but notice that our own parenting experience helps supercharge our experience!

Making friends with uncertainty

Posted on December 19, 2011 at 2:51pm 3 Comments 0 Favorites

One of the constant themes running through my classes is that of “getting comfortable with not knowing”. If I had owned this idea years ago, I could have saved so much time, energy and money. I would have relaxed into curiosity and invited my clients to join me there, with the burden of being the expert nowhere in sight.

Whenever I do a demo for my students, I am always pointing out the fact that I have no idea what I’m doing. And it’s okay. In fact, it’s more than…

I'm posting this as a blog because it helps to answer a question from another discussion group on this site. It's an exerpt from my book "Integrative Hypnosis" which was all trance scribed from my live training.

Melissa: I thought I would do a demonstration of change work. This way you’ll see what it’s like to have a client who comes in with an issue, and you just do…

An interview with Melissa Tiers

IACT: Hello Melissa. Thank you for granting this interview. Perhaps we could begin by asking what integrative hypnosis means to you.

MT: Thanks for the invite. I suppose I should start by saying that Integrative hypnosis, to me, means that I have the freedom to do whatever works. It's an umbrella, under which I combine ideas and…

Your book is brilliant. It was precisely what I needed. I still want to compile the various "macros" or processes or techniques or rituals, so that the words and purpose are in my head when I need them, and I'm doing that.

I love your book. It is one of the best I've ever, ever read. Maybe this was exactly the right time for me to read it but it hit the sweet spot.

Thanks again

Susan

I'm new to hypnosis, recently started training - your book was the antidote to all the other stuff I read & heard that made me think that being a hypnotherapist wasn't what I hoped it might be!
