Fear and the Myth of Confidence

The No-fail Protocol workshop back in April was something that came about to help people with the number one-sticking point in improving their hypnosis skill… …FEAR! Predominantly fear of failure (which the No-fail Protocol addresses by eradicating failure form the process), but other fears and anxieties can come into the mix: Fear of the unknown…

My Experience With HWT and Some Tips

This is an excellent and informative article written by Niy Mahmout about his experiences in applying Hypnosis Without Trance since attending the No-fail Protocol weekend and the Live in London workshops. Niy has really taken the stuff on and is applying it creatively, so although the article was written for the Hypnosis Without Trance Groupsite,…

Hypnotherapy Without Trance

Hi Y’all SOME NEW VIDEOS! (Below) These videos are not going to be for everyone, because they are about HWT as it applies to Hypnotherapy (I have decided to use the term “hypnotherapy” for convenience, although personally I don’t like the whole ‘therapy’ frame, and am more of a ‘changework’ guy). I have had a…

Comment On ‘Number Amnesia’ (Previous Post)

As I mentioned in the previous post, there was something I wanted to say about ‘number amnesia’ and why it is not really amnesia at all.  This is what this video is about!  Before watching this, be sure to watch the video in the previous post first! Enjoy! James httpv://youtu.be/vOAegXbVL6s

Mastering Hypnosis – Understanding Differing Aptitudes!

If you are intending to truly master hypnosis, it is important to realise that not all ‘hypnotics subjects’ are created (or developed) equal! When it comes to hypnotic phenomena, people have different aptitudes. Some do catalepsy better than visual hallucination or amnesia, some do visual hallucinations more easily. This has nothing to do with depth…

Quality of Response

New hypnotists are often concerned about whether or not they will ‘get’ the phenomenon that they are going for.  So much so, in fact, that they often pay almost no attention to the quality of the responses they get – and it is the quality that carries the most useful information. Watch the vid! httpv://youtu.be/JZz2k_kdYWw

Hypnotic Pacing & Leading: Retro-Hijacking

O.K. – Here’s a little snippet for all those who love the subtleties of hypnotic communication!  Lets call the concept the ‘retro-hijacking’ pace and lead. I use this loads and get a lot of milage from it, and I hope that you will too! Enjoy. httpv://youtu.be/jRlPXOG8n60

Recovering From Failure!

O.K. People… To continue the ‘what if it doesn’t work’ theme, I have a video for you showing me totally screwing-up during a hypnosis session! But… I also manage to pull it all back on line.  The key, when this happens, is to NOT react like it is a failure, before utilising the failure to…

What if it doesn’t work?!

Having formally taught this Hypnosis Without Trance method a few times now, it is coming to my attention that many people have a concern (maybe even an anxiety), that they are going to set up the process and have it ‘fail’ at a critical moment, leaving them looking foolish or incompetent.  I totally get this…

Curiosity and Fascination as Tools for Hypnosis

What I have included here is a little snippet from the audios covering the concept of Curiosity Framing! This is something that I use a lot when hypnotising (so much so that I do it without thinking), and I think that it is a really valuable little tool for absorbing the subject in the process. Check out the audio clip and, as usual, I am happy to hear your comments on the blog.
