This is a group to discuss techniques about instant and rapid inductions and how to master them!
a group where anyone starting out in hypnosis can meet and share ideas
John and Michael,
I think you both gave me a perfect solution: the small percentage that may have urges. That's perfect. Now I can present it without the hesitation I've been experiencing knowing that I don't have the words I'm comfortable with.…
James, thank you. Thank you for hearing my question and letting me know that I'm not the only one who asks it. That makes me feel much, much better.
It also saves me from buying yet another book or training searching for that magic phrase or magic…
Hi Susan-
In my world there is no such thing as "false" hope. But, I understand what you are communicating.
During my intake/pretalk -- I tell my clients that all roads lead to being smoke-free and quickly run the possible outcomes by them: A high…
Susan,
Since you have several questions, I will answer each below.
Susan-- I'm glad you brought this up, as I've often been bothered by the same question.
Interestingly, the experts all seem to disagree on the best way to go about smoking cessation. Some say that cold turkey is the only way to go, and others insis…
Hi Kelley,
It helps and thank you for it but as I chew on the information, I still wonder (and I have the feeling that it may be one sentence or two that I just haven't discovered yet) how to respond to a client who is hot to trot, ready to go, see…
Hi Susan,
This is an excellent question: how do you dispel expectation that hypnosis is a "Magic Pill" for issues such as smoking without destroying belief in hypnosis as a successful modality?
I think it is a matter of
1) Determining motivation…
BTW: Michael, thank you for reminding me one more time about using the setup phrases that start with "Can you imagine?" or "What would it be like for you if..."
I STILL forget to use questions as much if not more than statements. God, I'm so narcis…
I have a question that's been rattling around in my head and intefering with every darned smoking cessation I've ever done.
Michael and John C, and Kelley, can you comment and anyone else who has an idea.
I always waffle over how to help the clien…
A few things.
First: Make sure the client is ready to stop and does not expect hypnosis to do it for them.
Second: Make a part of your session one that neutralizes the triggers that cause the cravings. If they want to stop, and their are no cravin…
Classic Michael Ellner stuff here, Mike. And a bargain at just a dollar! Note the key elements of hypnotic persuasion and positive approach. These two components, plus your magnetic smile, will lead you to your future success!
If I ever have a retu…
A lot of smokers look at hypnosis as a makic wand as in one snap of the fingers and you're done. For hypnosis to work the smoker must really want to quit and be committed to quitting.
As I was deciding if I wanted to help you or not, I found myself wondering how one can be a novice at helping clients stop smoking and still list smoking ceasation a specialty. What turned the tide was your warm smile and I just happen to have a sof…
First off, what kind of things did you suggest to her, and did you use a script?
Here are a couple of things worth considering:
1) Taking her like 6 months into the future imagining that she has been a smoke free for six months. Then you can ask h…

Thank you and even though it has passed, heres hoping it was a good one
Grahame,
I say the same thing when I'm reading Tarot, but add the caveat that the future is not set in stone and different choices will take them on different paths.
Isn't it just metaphor like the time line method.
I'd be interested which major…
Faster Alan.
In my opinion this induction is Only useful in a stage or demonstration situation and as such it's simply more dramatic if you do it with a lot more energy! ;-)
Sadly to a point you are right Richard. You can be a so-so un-entertaining stage hypnotist and draw people. However although that's great in a tourist town say like Vegas where it will be 12 months or more before people return, in a more home town s…
Sweet work Alan!
np Scott and...
thanks for all your effort and time dealing with that issue and keeping our community free of such distractions.
Just completed a training course with Anne Jirsch on Future Life Progression and Oh MY God what a phenomenal resource tool this is. To be able to take clients forward five or ten years to see how their lives have panned out and discover how they got…
thanks Scott,
Once again your (and others) caring about running this forum exceeds all expectations.
