I write a hypnosis blog, Ricky, and am always looking for new stuff to review. I get a thousand unique visitors each month and it just keeps growing. If you're interested just drop me a line and we can chat.

I would side with Richard a little bit, John, and say that the same players are on the field, but in this case they're on steroids. Every dipper I've ever worked with has a much higher level of anxiety about quitting because…
I video every session I do, and it's actually NOT a storage nightmare. I capture the video and burn it to a DVD, then put it in my client's folder with all their paperwork. Takes up very little room.
My Client Bill of Rights…
I think the biggest mistake I see hypnotists make with social media is they use it to network with other hypnotists. While a platform like Hypnothoughts is great for that, the rest of one's social media accounts really aren't.…
You're absolutely right, Scott. I had the pleasure of attending some of Dan's sessions at the 2009 NGH convention, and found them to be among the best that I have ever attended. Dan's thoughtfulness set him apart from most…
I would suggest that it's the intention of the individual in each setting, Bill, that is different, not so much the setting itself having the impact. When people go to a therapist, they usually are going with the intention of getting…
I am not a therapist, but when I do client work I use two simple observations to help clients feel confident that they were hypnotized. One is subjective, the other objective.
1. I ask the client how long they think we just spent together. If they…
Have you read or seen any data that supports audio subliminals' efficacy, Robert? I have not. I did see a presentation a few years ago by Kevin Hogan in which he said that he had read research supporting the efficacy of one word VISUAL…
Doreen, I certainly didn't mean to imply that the chair always implies that. Forgive me if it's the impression I created. I only meant that I find it interesting that the chair is the symbol for some folks, regardless of their reason. Had…
Interesting that you mention the chair specifically, Arlene. I had one client recently who specifically said her anxiety goes to near panic-attack level once she sees the chair. It turned out that she had been touched inappropriately when she was a…
I play music quietly while I'm doing my intake, and usually turn it off when it's time to actually start working with the client, but sometimes I do play music while doing the actual work. I have had consistently good reactions from Steven…
JoeK, I think I get the spirit of what you're trying to say, but I couldn't agree less with what you've actually said. Just because hypnotism is a largely unregulated profession (it IS regulated in some US states and some other…
Welcome to the community. I'm confident you will find a lot of interesting ideas and friendly people to share them with. If I can help in any way, just ask. I'm curious about what attracted you to hypnosis in the beginning? If you are looking for new skills and ways to grow yourself as a hypnotherapist check out the HypnoSummit. There will be lots of lectures on both topics.
