Videos: Are scripts that bad? And how to increase the enjoyment of being a hypnotherapist.... |
I have a couple of new videos over at the Hypnosis Geek YouTube channel.
In this first video, I discuss and explain the reasons I value hypnosis scripts and standardised hypnotherapy protocols and the
reasons all hypnotherapists should value them and I explain how we can benefit massively from them.
And I also explain that we’ll definitely not be taken over by apps or talking robots as a result…. Not yet anyway.
Enjoy the video, let me know what you think….
Are hypnosis scripts and standardised protocols really all that bad?
Being a therapist can often be an isolated working role, and if you are a one-man band of a business, then you may well be doing a huge amount more than just having hypnotherapy sessions with your clients each day.
I remember the first day of being a self-employed
hypnotherapist, skipping along the street so happy, thinking “yes, I did it, I am living the dream!” It was awesome, though also a tad naive.
I also remember walking along the same pathway perhaps a year later as a busy hypnotherapist dreading working with a particular client of mine and thinking “I don’t want to work with that smoker guy, he’s not responding well and I feel drained.”
I flagged down a cab and headed for Real Street, and have since then looked at the best ways to
enhance my day-to-day enjoyment of being a hypnotherapist, and feeling like the dream and the autonomy were worthwhile and put a smile back on my face.
I share some of the stuff here in this video, enjoy!
How
to enhance your day-to-day enjoyment of being a hypnotherapist.
The Hypnosis Geek Tour Is Coming to an End |
My two one day seminars have been run all across the UK this year, my final three locations here in the UK this year are Norwich next week, Cardiff next Month (October) and London in November (at the UK Hypnosis Convention) if you want
to find out dates, fees (less than £100.00), venues and more detail about the seminars, then take a look at these pages because for the next couple of years, I'll only be able to run these seminars once a year here in Bournemouth:
a) Rapid Inductions and Hypnotic Phenomena Seminar.
b) Science of Self-Hypnosis Seminar. =====Interested in learning self-hypnosis? Want to get proof of your own self-hypnosis skills and create hypnotic phenomena by yourself, for yourself? Don’t know where to start?
Here’s your answer….
I get asked so often by so many people about the best way to learn self-hypnosis and to get some kind of evidence that they are doing it correctly. I usually reply to say that the single best way to know you are
doing self-hypnosis correctly is to give yourself real-life evidence – by creating hypnotic phenomena.
What do I mean by “hypnotic Phenomena”?
This is our effect. The effect that we are going to create. With stage hypnotists, they create effects of people believing they are someone else, for example. With hypnotherapists they create effects of being free of habits, for example. With street hypnotists, they create the effect of someone believing their foot is stuck
to the floor, for example. Within this self-hypnosis roadmap, you are going to create an effect that is going to be undeniably convincing to you that you are using self-hypnosis well.
This roadmap teaches you how to adopt the hypnotic mindset, how to induce self-hypnosis, how to absorb yourself profoundly in self-hypnosis, how to create your own incredible hypnotic phenomena, and then how to exit self-hypnosis and develop your skills with it. I think you are going to love this. To get the
roadmap and guide sent through to your inbox straight away, just visit this page on my college website:
A FREE Self-Hypnosis Roadmap – Learn How To Create Your Own Hypnotic
Phenomena.
Go download this, you are going to have a lot of fun with it, believe me. Enjoy engaging with self-hypnosis, most importantly, enjoy creating real-life undeniable hypnotic phenomena for yourself – it's going to blow your mind.
Are You Considering Training To Be A Hypnotherapist?
Then I have something very cool indeed for you.
For anyone considering training in the field of hypnotherapy, looking to train to be a hypnotherapist, I have put together a roadmap; a guide to help you do that. Whether you come and train with me here at this
college or go somewhere else, this roadmap and guide will offer you a real direction of how to identify the best way to train as a hypnotherapist.
Even more importantly though, it contains a HUGE amount of free resources for you to use and learn from. To download it, just visit this page and you’ll be
sent through the Roadmap. For free, with my compliments. I have crammed it full of information, advice, guidance and it includes a mass of free resources that I wished I had been given when I first looked at training to be a hypnotherapist:
This Week's Main Articles: Making better choices.... and Stop Procrastinating! |
First up,
We can all benefit from making better choices….
“I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout
our lifetime.” — Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.
It therefore makes sense to learn how to make better choices, right?
We make hundreds, maybe even thousands, of choices every day. Our everyday choices affect our accomplishments, our relationships, and our general prosperity. Given their recurrence and significance, how can we make better choices all the more frequently? One response to that question is to consistently ask questions that lead to better choices, let me
demonstrate…. Have a read of this article here with all the references and studies to support the many ways you can learn to make better choices in life:
How To Make Better Choices.
Secondly....
Stop procrastinating – that is the goal here, though many people find it incredibly tough to do
so.
Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something. You hesitate, you dither, you stall and you end up avoiding a task that needs to be accomplished. It is sometimes a delay in starting or finishing a task even when there is a potential or actual negative consequence. When we procrastinate, we usually end up focusing on something less urgent, more enjoyable and easier.
Whether done consciously or unconsciously, procrastination is a habit that many people struggle
with. There is always something more interesting to do than getting the actual job done. From tweeting and checking Facebook to engaging in non-constructive actions that pass the time, to allowing oneself to be easily distracted, the reasons why people procrastinate are many. No matter what your reasons are, procrastination does adversely affect your quality of life, your productivity, potential success and achievement. Avoiding or overcoming this killer habit is one of the
best ways to ensure that you get more beneficial and rewarding work done and ensuring more successful achievement of goals and desired outcomes in the long run. All in all, it serves us all well to know how to stop procrastinating.
A study published by a team of researchers this year in Psychological Science suggests procrastination is more about managing emotions than time. Erhan Genç, one of the study authors, based at Ruhr University Bochum states; “Individuals with a larger amygdala
may be more anxious about the negative consequences of an action – they tend to hesitate and put off things“.
This is supported by Professor Tim Pychyl, from Carleton University, who has been studying procrastination for the past few decades, who also suggests procrastination is a problem with managing emotions (rather than time), he says this about the latest (afore mentioned) study, “This study provides physiological evidence of the problem procrastinators have with emotional
control“.
“It shows how the emotional centres of the brain can overwhelm a person’s ability for self-regulation.”
Dr Pychyl is optimistic about the potential for change and within his work has shown that changing the brain was possible. Dr Caroline Schluter, the lead author of the 2018 study, went on to say: “The brain is very responsive and can change throughout the lifespan.” So how do we do that? How do we stop procrastinating? How can we change our brain in this way? Go read
this article for a number of research backed ways to stop procrastinating….
How to Stop Procrastinating. This week, my social media output has been filled with memes about hypnosis, photos from my life (including some very popular critical thinking memes) and loads of articles from our vaults (including some really controversial
