To integrate stuff? I’ll borrow from NIKE here: just do it!

Take what you know, experiment and play.

And regarding the TV show – like human beings, TV shows always mislead. They have an agenda and a set of personal biases and this always guarantees a lack of impartiality.

Yes! This time round especially, the Hypnosis Wizardry Live course will involve aspects of the hypnosis and suggestion end of ‘mentalism’.

If I understand you, the change you want to make is to start doing changework?

The answer is to just start doing it. There is no way of getting ‘confidence’ in doing this kind of work without actually doing it, because confidence comes from experience.

You don’t have to be perfect before you begin. Just stay away from heavy therapy stuff and get busy doing some sessions.

However it leaves me with a problem.
a bit of history first
The tv show ‘mythbusters’ had a hypnosis special. The 2 main ‘tests’ were:
1) can you be made to do something out of your control(eg jumping up&down etc)
2) can hypnosis be used to improve your memory
in brief it comprised of a somewhat double standard way, for test 1 they visited a centre specialising in hypnotherapy(telling them to relax), but for test 2 they instead brought in a stage hypnotist who, although edited for standard tv legalislation reasons didn’t show in full, but from what they did show that he appeared to use a standard ‘arm-jerk’ induction.
Unsuprisingly the first test they ‘proved’ was a *myth*!!! (i.e. suggesting they use actors)
But the second was much more successful & a *fact*

I have explained to non-hypnosis-knowledged friends that hypnotherapy is very different from hypnosis.
In the past I could explain it with the jerk method for hypnosis vs lengthy deep relaxation for hypnotherapy.
However the HWT method adds a third option-hypnosis but without the jerk, so can you suggest how i can add that to my previous explanation.

Also secondly i wanted to know are there seperate names for hynotherapy & therapy by hypnosis?

Thanks & i’d also appreciate any thoughts on a tv show providing misleading information to the viewing public.

Over the last few years I have been reading both hypnosis, hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP and a number of other books in this ‘ball park’. I consider myself to have a reasonably well balanced idea of the ‘mechanics’ of hypnosis and facilitating change but I still lack that little something to actually be able to perform it. What would you suggest would be the next logical step in making this change in myself? Is it further home study or perhaps one of your workshops?

Great to get your feedback!
