Phobias - do you do NLP and then hypno script for the fear, and also, NLP while hypnotized?

Hypnotic Trainer, Hypnotist, Hypnotherapist. What's the difference?
Richard, I like what you capture here. This is a real difference. Hypnotherapist label draws clients that see themselves as mentally ill, defective, and helpless. Hypnotists have clients who enjoy…

Jade and Hugh,
Nice video. We can stay away from the is, am, are words. This will help us keep from labeling ourselves and others. Using is words locks the state of a person in time and place.
So,
I no longer smoke.
I experience pain in my back and…

In Get the Life You Want by Richard Bandler, page 4, he says "One of the best discoveries I made, however, was that it's possible to help people make these changes without hypnotizing them." He says this again a couple of paragraphs later.…
In my experience being a Hypnotist I attract people who want their thing to be changed quickly with hypnosis.
HypnoTherapists attract the same person.
In practical terms I see it this way. Hypnotists focus on the creation of the hypnotic state and…
Richard,

Hypnotherapist label draws clients that see themselves as mentally ill, defective, and helpless. Hypnotists have clients who enjoy being empowered and taking action.
Thanks, Walt
1.) There is no practical difference; but in Texas only a licensed person can use the word therapist or the psych and counseling boards will go after that unlicensed person using the word therapy as part of a title.
2.) I think hypnotist (or as I c…
Hi Walt,
I'd relflect on what these terms conjure in your own mind. When you make mention of a hypnotic trainer, I personally have my guard up, when I consider the term hypnotist, I'm thinking "stage", when I think hypnotherapist, I am thinking "ch…

Antonio,
Thanks for starting this group. I do not have a website as yet. However, I can learn about what's good or not so good before I publish mine.

Erickson's Ocean Monarch Lecture
In the book Experiencing Hypnosis by Erickson and Rossi mention is made of a lecture that Erickson gave called the Ocean Monarch Lecture. The book used to come with a cassette recording of the lecture.
My copy of the book did not have the cassette. I've searched the web and various Erickson sites for an audio copy of the lecture without success. I have a text copy of the lecture. The audio copy of… Continue

The Positive Psychology Center promotes research, training, education, and the dissemination of Positive Psychology. This field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play.

- Trying to put together a multi-modality healing center in San Antonio, including hypnosis, massage, reiki, acupuncture and more. It's an interesting project. I'm also going to be in Austin tomorrow for a class that might interest you. It's a couple of forms of energy healing that are a bit *out there*, but a lot of fun. I can send you info if you want.

I may have asked you this before, but were/are you a computer science professor at Southwestern? Just wondering if you're the same Walt Potter I knew there.

Bill Logsdon said… - Hello Walt, thank you for the friendship invitation. I have read many of your posts and comments over time. I usually read the posts on my phone but I cannot reply from there so I seldom contribute.
I actually live about 90 miles northwest of Austin but I have a sister that lives in Georgetown so maybe we can meet up sometime.
Have a great day!

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.

My wife still does not believe linda was spam LOL she has now left me and I am now out on the street
Have fun, Michael! You and Dan Cleary do a lot for our profession. Keep up the good work!
For those who might wish for unlimited downloads...
Try MegaUpload; I believe the downloads there do
not time out, and all one needs to do as with YSI
is to post the link here.

A beautiful post.
