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.
If you haven't done so yet -- have her gather up everything connected to this unwanted habit, ashtrays, lighters, matches, and any cigarettes lying about, and put them in a bag or box to be thrown out. She doesn't need them anymore, and this sends a…
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…

Hi Debbie:
Unless the issues are related, or can somehow be linked without causing confusion, I think working on more than two issues at a time is risking that you might not address any of them adequately. At the least, use different sessions/days…
I have noticed that most all of the truly gifted and insightful leaders in the field of hypnosis downplay their credentials. Their works, reputation and impact on others following behind them is what makes them who they are, not the paper on the wal…
It;s a variation of the ebay money order Scam. They send you a bunch of money orders (counterfiet) and over pay to get you to put the MO in your account then write a valid MO from your account to the "agent" who takes your stuff and your valid MO. B…
I had one several years back that seemed very legitimate...a quantity order from Indonesia. While I will not go into details, the bottom line is that I was cheated out of over $1000 of products for which I never received one dime.

Some years back one my family members had a friend who THOUGHT he was suffering from a migraine headache. The pain got real bad so he went to his doctor...and had emergency surgery for internal bleeding. The result would have been fatal had he gone…
I certainly hope you'll accept me here... I am in Tulsa, a member of S.C.O.T (Scottish Club of Tulsa) and until recently a member on the board of The Oklahoma Scottish Festival. I am starting my practice here, and just looking to connect. Peace to y…
This is a group with Scottish hypotists in mind.
All are welcome to join however the aim of this group will be to unite Scottish hypnotists to be able to practice their skills with each other online and in locations throughout sunny Scotland.
Here are my thoughts: In the U.S., a referral would certainly be the way to go, IF the client was being seen by a medical doctor for the problem. If not, you could certainly SUGGEST the client go and then get the referral, but after all, the client…
