Thanks for the kind words! Always nice to hear that a budding new hypnotist has discovered this very magical corner of reality. It really streches your understanding of how the mind works and what makes people tick. I myself learned how to hypnotize from these forums. Unfortunately the forum is not ...

I suggest you stick to the classics :wink: In all seriousness, back in the day I experimented with a lot of different ways of doing it. And some were pretty effective. It's really no different then face to face in that the method is just a way of guiding someone into a certain state of mind. It's ju...

Fair enough. It did look to me like a "hey try this", which I found shocking based on your strict fidelity to only recommending things proven to be useful in studies. Now I understand that your words were simply there to describe to the poster what CBT might look like if the poster chose t...

Cool! Let us know what happens when you check. Joe Joe, I couldn't find anything there anymore. But..... I think it had a lot to do with what Jimmy and I were doing, plus me sending that FB message to my sister-in-law. The "kill-em-with-kindness" technique. A face-saving 'out', defusing t...

You told the original poster to use CBT. You then proceeded to write up a description of what he should do. Unfortunately the thing you told him to do has zero scientific evidence of it's effectiveness.

You wrote that they key is to reflect on all the terrible things that didn't happen. The research shows that the cognitive piece is not needed. So it wouldn't be "key". Just do the exposure, that's enough. This all of course leaving out the part where the efficacy of CBT has been proven wh...

The key is after each session to take the time to reflect and acknowledge all the terrible things that DID NOT happen. Over time having realized you are still breathing and that you did not suffer any actual harm, you will increase your ability to deal with hypnosis. Nope. "Regarding treatment...

Cool! Let us know what happens when you check.

Run a few rounds and let us know what happens. In essence, whenever you get stuck or static, acknowledge that, then get back to where you were. Awesome, thank you. I'll do that. :) By "static" - do you mean the opposite of dynamic or do you mean interference? I meant interference. But qui...

Back to the acknowledgment. I'm stuck again and need some help with this, is that ok? I picked up where I left off yesterday and wrote a whole essay, explaining Carl Jung's take on this issue, which was all pure intellectualizing to avoid looking at it. 8) Knowing about how it works doesn't mean yo...

My pleasure. I wake up every now and then

Let me know how acknowledgement goes!

For what it's worth, I had a nasty headache last night, threw some acknowledgement at it, and it all it did was take a bit of the edge off. Went from an 8 to a 7. So yeah, even as the inventor of the process it doesn't always work for me. I could of course have troubleshot that and probably would ha...

I did some work on this a few years back. You can check my website wikihyp.com for some transcripts. At one point, a brilliant student of mine collaborated with me to write a bot. It would go on Omegele, find subjects, and hypnotize them. It was quite interesting reading the logs the next morning. I...

Scottsdale,

You have had a 100% success rate with every single client you have seen in the last 2 years?

How many clients? How long afterwards do you follow up to find out if the results held?

Moonlight, Something you should know. A long time ago, this board was very active with many brilliant hynotists and hypnotherapists frequenting it. In the more recent past, it has gone pretty quiet, with the very occasional burst of activity. It's tough to get a good answer from people who actually ...
