In Person
The session
I always have housing available for my clients who want to come to me in person and get
things fixed quickly rather than take the time to do sessions an hour at a time.
In a week, we can accomplish more than we could in 5 years in weekly appointments online.
An in person session allows the hypnotist to use every tool they have in order to achieve the goals you want.
One of the very powerful tools a hypnotist has in an in person session, which is lacking in a video session, is the ability to touch your hand, arm, shoulder or head, in order to set physical anchors.
A video session lacks this important tool Yes, most video sessions, with a skilled hypnotist are every bit as effective, however, the available tools are limited and this can mean it takes far longer to get the same results.
Also, the hypnotist can monitor your trance level and so forth, far easier.
An experienced and qualified hypnotist is watching your breathing, skin tone, pulse rate, comfort level, micro muscular facial movements and much more during the session. These can be difficult to detect or even impossible in a video session.
The in person session makes the hypnotists job easier and also allows much more work to be accomplished in the session. This is generally considered the optimum way to perform hypnotherapy.
Most of the commands are interchangeable between in person and video hypnosis.
Before the session, you will be instructed on what to expect and given a chance to ask any questions you may have. You will also go over what you are seeking to accomplish in the session and the basic protocols will be discussed.
It is not unusual to be there for an issue and the hypnotist decides that another issue (seemingly) is to be addressed. Do not worry about that. An issue such as motivation can require self esteem work in order to get the outcome you desire. The mind is very complex and it is the hypnotists profession to know how to accomplish your desired goals.
Before the induction, the hypnotist will check a few things. Do you need to use the restroom, is your phone off, would you like something to drink, do you have any injuries, have you removed your glasses, are you wearing any jewelry that might prevent the use of a process and so forth. They are seeing to your comfort and safety and also making sure nothing preventable is going to interfere with the session.
You will be made comfortable and be asked if you are willing to be hypnotized. It may seem a silly question since you are in their office, but, this is a critical step.
Once all of this is accomplished, the induction will begin.
When the induction is finished, the work session is started.
When the work is done, you will emerge from trance feeling wonderful in every way.
In person sessions are dynamic
You will be given some common hypnotic instructions, for instance:
"Allow yourself"
This is simply a reminder to not hinder the process by "trying" to do anything. Relax, everything will happen easily and naturally.
"Allow your subconscious"
This is an instruction that means to get out of the way of your subconscious mind. Just relax and let that part of your mind fully surface and take the appropriate actions on your behalf. Your subconscious has been protecting you your entire life, it will continue to do so during trance.
“Sleep Now”
which just means close your eyes and just relax. Your head will lower to your chest and you will start feeling amazing. You are just going inside yourself completely, listen to my voice and follow my instructions.
“In a moment”
which means not yet. Wait until I tell you to do it, because I need to tell you HOW to do it first. This is very important so we do not place you back in a bad situation without protecting you from further trauma!
“Imagine”
which simply means picture something. Should you find this difficult, just pretend you can do it. Sometimes, this will continue to be a problem for the client. This tells me that there is something in their past that needs to be worked on in order to free them up so they can accomplish that particular instruction. It is perfectly natural and OK. We just found something and dealing with it is going to further enhance your life.
“Float into”
which means imagine you are floating into whatever memory or image we are working on at the time and re-experience it as if it was happening now.
“Deeper”
which means to just pretend you can relax more. (this one, your subconscious will understand naturally, but it needs your permission to act on it)
All sensations happen in the mind. If I were to touch your wrist, you would say you felt it on your wrist. This is not correct however. You did not feel it on your wrist. The nerves in your wrist picked up the contact and sent an electrical impulse to your mind. Your mind interpreted the impulse and then created the sensation of the touch on your wrist.
Because of this, while you are in hypnotic trance, I can have your mind tell you I am touching your left wrist, in response to a touch on your right wrist. This is very useful in many ways. That basic principal provides us with many tools and options.
There are many protocols where I will anchor my touch, say on the wrist, to produce emotional responses. Once that is established and tested, I can then alter the anchor and give you the control over it, or, make it completely automatic. Remember, all feelings and sensations happen in the mind, and in an induced trance, we can create, change and control these.
This could get very technical, but that is the basic way it works, without the ten dollar words.
Also, please remember at all times, everything is happening inside of your mind. During hypnotic trance, everything becomes real for the client. The subconscious mind can provide anything asked of it, provided you know how to ask.
This can produce some interesting phenomenon. In some processes, you will be instructed to be “naked.” Remember, nobody can see this except you. It is part of the process in order to communicate with your subconscious what is being asked of it, or it is a component of the instruction set being assembled.
Hypnosis is very relaxing and when you emerge, you will feel great! Most people never experience this level of relaxation and are amazed at the good feelings it produces. I will also set anchors as I bring you back to the world around us to make that even better.
Expect to emerge relaxed, happy, energized and feeling wonderful in every way.
During the session, please do not “try” to do anything. Everything will happen quite naturally and “trying” will sabotage the process. When you “try,” you are engaging your conscious mind, which is always counterproductive. Your mind is totally able to do whatever I ask it to do. If you have problems, relax and wait a few seconds, sometimes the subconscious takes a moment to react to instructions. This is completely natural. If after a few seconds nothing is happening, just let me know and I will formulate another instruction to accomplish what we are doing.
That's it! Very simple, relaxing and effective. If you would care to read the blog here on my site, to see what other clients have to say about my work, please feel free to do so. The blog is not very old, so there is not a lot there yet. You will be encouraged to post your experience to help others. When you do post your experience, post the truth. If it is positive great! If it is less than positive, I thank you and the other clients thank you for the feedback and the chance to learn and improve my methods. Also, sign up for the newsletter. I send one out from time to time. I do this sporadically as I have no desire to fill your inbox. If you need something, reach out.
I do not share your information with anyone and I will not spam you.
