The Aesthetics of Hypnosis
People often think of aesthetics as being something separate from functionality, and in the case of household appliances or motor vehicles this may well be the case, but with hypnosis (including hypnotherapy and, I would say, NLP) the two come together with the former contributing to the latter. The video explains all! NOTE: Special Offer…
Hypnosis VERSUS Trance
As I am typing this, the Hypnosis Without Trance blog has been up and running for nearly 6 years. And if you have read the short ebook Hypnosis Beyond the Trance Myth, you’ll know something of the origins of the Hypnosis Without Trance concept. When I first showed up with this concept, there was a…
Scripts Do NOT Hypnotise!
So just recently I got another question about ‘hypnosis scripts’. This is one of these things that just keeps coming up again and again so I’ve made this video to really set out my position on this with clarity. And if you want to grab one of the last places on the Hypnosis Skills Bootcamp,…

Hypnotic Coma and the Metaphors of Hypnosis
Hypnosis – according to HWT theory – is all about the artful and strategic use of language and communication to influence people’s perception of reality.

ENQUIRY “Hi James We had a brief discussion, via email, some…
Hypnosis Success Rates – Are All Hypnotic Subjects Equal?
When people first begin to learn hypnosis and how to hypnotise one question that often comes up is “can everyone be hypnotised? Or are some people more hypnotisable than others?” (I guess that’s two questions really!) The answer is a little less clear cut than it might at first seem that it would be –…
Covert Hypnosis Vs. Powerful Communication!
In a recent blog post (I’m Sorry I Cheated… Can Covert Hypnosis Fix the Damage?) I raised the point that ‘covert hypnosis’ was not such a good idea! With so many people out there selling ‘covert hypnosis’ as a means of getting what you want in life, I thought I’d better say something about why ‘covert…
Be The Hypnotist… or Be Your Self!
This is a follow up piece to the last blog post Is Fear Stopping You Developing as a Hypnotist? Many hypnosis trainers seem to be very keen to insist that their students ‘be The Hypnotist’. Whilst this can be a very powerful way to show up, for the beginner it can also often backfire and…
