Don’ts for Hypnotists
1.
Do
not use the term “under hypnosis.” “In hypnosis” is appropriate.
2.
Do
not practice “medicine.”
3.
Do
not use the words “patient- treat or diagnose.”
4.
Do
not work with sexual issues. Only if you have had special training.
5.
Do
not work with children without proper training.
6.
Do
not try to work with addicts – drugs or alcohol unless you are
trained.
7.
Do
not work with a client that is under a physician’s care and taking
medication to control their emotions.
8.
Do
not get involved in the client’s “story.” This will give them
control over your session.
9.
Do
not book a client more than 5 days in advance. Experience has shown
most do not remember they have an appointment.
1.
Always
practice with young people when first learning hypnosis. They
are less inhibited and more willing to comply with suggestions.
2.
Find
an area you’re comfortable practicing in and specialize.(smoking,
weight, etc.)
3.
Always
“qualify” your client with the first phone call. Make
sure you can meet their expectations or you will fail and not get paid.
4.
The
first time a person is hypnotized you must perform “Convincers.” (That
is you must produce some phenomenon that cannot be explained.”) The
client
must leave believing they were hypnotized.
5.
Most
issues can be resolved in just 1 session.
6.
During
the session once you’ve accomplished some change in the client,
ask them “Compared to when you first came in, how do you feel now?”
This
tells you how the client is responding and reminds them how they are
feeling
different.
7.
Call
the client 24 hours before as a reminder of their session.
8. Maximize
the force of self- love when helping others change.
One way is to love yourself. The common
idea is that love comes from outside
