"When I was a child, someone broke into my house, and stole my vcr, and my gameboy.
I was freaked out, and violated, and enraged.
My mother unwittingly gave me some of the best most enduring advice of my life.
She reminded me of a time in my life…"

Ended a years long issue of nightime, and eventually daytime teeth grinding for a friend of mine. That was three days ago. Today she says she's no longer grinding her teeth, but she's become aware…Continue

Are there any therapeutic techniques which involve regressing people to positive, happier times, and events and possibly drawing out the resources that were available to them at those times for use…Continue

Shane O'Shields replied to mua hang's discussion Reverting to a previous state of mind, rewind time, IRL?Shane O'Shields replied to Ingrid Clark, C.Ht.'s discussion Can Hypnotherapy reduce/eliminate desire for pot smoking?"I smoked pot all day every day for a decade or so. I then found my self in circumstances didn't allow for me to have constant access to pot. In a short time I had a revelation of sorts. After being stoned for 10 years, the high was the norm. I…"
Shane O'Shields replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"Yeah, i want that book. I already have the Guide to Trance-formation. It's like a workbook of sorts. not as fluid as others. I read through it back when i had less of an understanding of trancework, and haven't read it since.…"
Jan Krüger replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"While you're at it, get "Trance-formations" by Bandler and Grinder, too. It may reteach you a few things about hypnosis but I think it does an excellent job of showing you what kinds of logic work well in suggestion. Personally I…"
Shane O'Shields replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"Hmmm, Do you know if this is common? I find it interesting that you did this intentionally, and she does it unconsciously. I'll let her know tomorrow. Just to clarify, she's not a client, and i'm not a therapist, YET. I'm…"
Chris Witherspoon replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"Hi Shane,
I used to clench and grind my teeth. I did this mostly at night when I was asleep. When I was under a lot of stress I found myself clenching. i found if I put my tongue between my teeth I would not clench. Maybe your client discovered…"
Shane O'Shields replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"By the way, I love to read your posts. I get alot from your approach, and the confidence that you, and some other hypnotists exude is contagious. My fancy cellphone is my only access to the internet or else i'd be bugging you for the skypnosis.…"
Shane O'Shields replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"Lol! Hey Joe.
Surely they have two different vibes.
There's a kind of casual comradery at uncommon due, in my opinion, to the hypnomeets and close proximity of a lot of the members there. Hypnothoughts feels like sitting in on a group of pros…"
Joe K Fobes replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"Do people listen better when we post here as opposed to posting on uncommon? :)
Joe"
Shane O'Shields replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"Interesting stuff. I spoke to her today. She showed me what she meant by lip biting. It's more like she's putting the tip of her tongue between her teeth and closing her teeth on it. She says that she doesn't bite down on it. It…"
Jan Krüger replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"That's a good approach, I think. One additional thing I'd suggest is to include suggestions that relaxation will become more automatic even while she's doing it herself. After all, relaxing basically works outside of consciousness,…"
Shane O'Shields replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"Thank you for your advice. I plan on bypassing the symptom altogether, and focus more on reducing the general anxiety that she carries through her day. I'll show her some relaxation techniques, practice them with her and, while in trance, make…"
Jan Krüger replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"You don't necessarily need to "get deeper". In fact, some folks, including Bandler, argue that it's better if you don't. There are many pitfalls in going into the history of a problem... one is that you probably drag up bad…"
Shane O'Shields replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"Thank you, Jan. I think my issue was more my reluctance to get into a deeper process with this person because of the nature of our relationship outside of hypnosis. Will speak with her about this later.
"
Jan Krüger replied to Shane O'Shields's discussion how to prevent swapping of nervous habits"This is often called "symptom conversion". It's typically understood to mean that there is an underlying issue that "expresses" itself in, for example, lip biting. Tackle the underlying issues, possibly fix the nervous habit…"

Ended a years long issue of nightime, and eventually daytime teeth grinding for a friend of mine. That was three days ago. Today she says she's no longer grinding her teeth, but she's become aware that she's biting her lip. I've heard of this happening before.What are some ways in which hypnotherapists assure that their clients won't swap their habits out like this?See More
