It is great to be a fly on the wall and watch proceedings objectively.
I have spent hours recording Adam's courses and in particular the diploma course and the one day seminars and I can really get a great sense of the atmosphere in the room.
This course was interesting in another way for me as the participants were already
trained and interested in continuing professional development and of course familiar with hypnosis.
I can see how rewarding it is for hypnotherapists to come on a course with experienced peers. The participants this week have been out there in the real world and and are full of anecdotes and experiences to
share. The conversations are animated and business cards being shared. The networking will live well beyond this course.
What is particularly interesting to me is the input and conversations with Hypnotherapists who have trained with other schools. I know Adam well and he enjoys the
exchanges about different approaches to hypnotherapy training.
As I write this Adam is talking about being somewhat provocative but also maintaining a great alliance with clients.
"They haven't come to a Hypnotherapist to stop smoking, stop smoking, overcome a phobia - they have come to get back control of some aspects of their life."
The thing is that these course hypnotherapists are keen to develop
more skills and get more techniques in their therapist toolkit to help these clients.
On a personal note - it is great to be in a room with such a great group of people - a pleasure to meet them all.
