❤ I really love your work. I've taken all your courses online, and only wish i could get a complete psychology degree through your modules one at a time a la cart.
It's true! I am still occasionally stunned at how quickly clients can resolve some severe trauma issues in just a few sessions. I can't image what PTSD sufferers had to go through before hypnotherapy became widely available. 😢
Thank you for sharing so generously. I am glad to hear you are explaining how traditional therapy using exposure therapy re-traumatise clients. I have been called argent to dare criticise psychology techniques. You are uncommon person not only practitioner. 🙏
Seems like Dr.Frank Ochberg’s “Counting Method” may be as or more important than Hypnosis. The counting method allows someone to access deep hurtful wounds, while aware and conscious of those feelings while also being prepared in advance and also after relieving the experience. I feel I should qualify Dr.Ochberg as having coined “Stockholm Syndrome,” and he was also involved with naming PTSD now more than 40 years ago, though for the last about 15 years he’s now working to change the name to PTSI to recognize the source of the injury that caused post traumatic stress,,, which I now write as PTSI-(D) in explaining the name change to PTSI…
Seems like the “hypnosis” tone and pacing voice, is similar to the Late Night FM DJ voice described by Chris Voss used in hostage negotiations, who now coaches this low n slow tone in business negotiations as it makes everyone smarter…
Hypnosis isn’t that controlling, it’s more like a way to tell your body that it’s ok to unclench, to relax and rest, so that you can decide what you really want to control. As a former control freak, (due to needing to feel safe), hypnosis gave me more range. Hope that helps.
This is a common misconception. Hypnosis is actually quite the opposite: It's all about (re)gaining control. By definition, when we are looking for ways to implement change (therapeutic in this context) we are trying to regain control of some aspect of our lives, and hypnosis is a proven, powerful way of achieving exactly this. The other encouraging fact is that people can actually get better at hypnosis; there have been publications about this. All of this to say that if you're interested, you can get better at this. Like anything else in life, some people are born "naturals", others have to put some more effort in it, but anyone can enjoy some degree of benefit through hypnosis. Hope this helps.
So, you've never gotten caught up in a good book? You've never daydreamed or 'zoned out' during a meeting? All of that is a hypnotic state. But don't be mistaken, it's not "unconsciousness" at all. It's a focused state of attention really, where you tune out everything else. As a hypnotherapist I essentially guide you through a daydream where you fix whatever needs fixing.
@@snowrosehypnosis yeah I've done all three but hypnotists claim that they can affect a lasting change in behavior without your conscious awareness which is different in my mind
@@celestialcircledance Those kinds of hypnotists are what give our profession a bad reputation. It makes the client sound like a puppet with them the puppet master. Who wants that?? While they CAN do it (it's called the Eisdale State), it takes a long time to get there and there's no need for it outside of treating severe pain. I personally practice a modern version called "conversational hypnotherapy" which keeps the client involved in the process, not just laying there like a lump listening to "suggestions". Most anyone can be hypnotized with no need to slide into unconsciousness at all. 🙂🌹
we can only process 40bits per second? That's ludicrous!! Just one image of the resolution an eye can see might be many megabits. And then 1 second of those images, much more. Add audio. Add sensation. Add thoughts....
Yes, you can learn self-hypnosis and do that alone. Hypnotherapy usually involves someone else to guide you through a therapeutic process. It's the difference between getting lost in a forest with only a compass to get you out, vs. having a skilled guide who knows the landscape.

Thank you Mark, looking forward to the Hypnosis course reopening!

Thanks Mark. What or where would you suggest to learn about clinical hypnosis?
Thanks Mark. This video is really packed full of wisdom and insight. I will be watching it again soon.
I’ve seen the power of this stuff. I use it for everything now in meditation
Helpful thanks

I think I'm too much of a control freak to ever let myself slide easily into unconsciousness and be hypnotized .

I’ve been expected to control my subconscious triggers, like I just had to choose to not fall asleep to disassociation from being overwhelmed…
Fascinating. How do you rate EMDR in relation to hypnosis?
How to consult you?
When you have all of these.... (except depression not to that degree and in spells triggered by the ptsd)

That's the conscious mind, the unconscious part had lots of 00000's after
Eczema?
Can you learn to do hypnotherapy on yourself?
Yes, absolutely.
