2 / 45

Category: Advanced Conversational Hypnosis (ACH)

When is the only time I should use a regression? Visualisation or any traditional therapy technique?

If my client says they think that the memory of 'xyz' is the reason for my problem

All the time as all client need to be regressed through memories in order to have a breakthrough

If my client spontaneously has one of the above. I can utilise it. But I always wait to see what my client presents to me

All the time as all clients must visualise as this is how the unconscious mind communicates

A quicker breakthrough and more fun as the therapist

Deeper trances with more hypnotic phenomena that i can use the ETM on

4 / 45

Category: Advanced Conversational Hypnosis (ACH)

27 / 45

Category: Advanced Conversational Hypnosis (ACH)

Why do we not use scripts?

Because my client has concluded what their problem is and are guessing, thus making it impossible to know what to do next or what questions to ask

Because all clients are different and have different likes, dislikes, wants and desires

Because scripts infer that all clients are the same and the problem they want to work on is not a symptom

Because scripts solve symptoms not root causes

All of the above

28 / 45

Category: Advanced Conversational Hypnosis (ACH)

How deep do your clients need to go?

Deep enough so they are somnambulistic

deep enough so the conscious mind does not here my suggestions

As deep as I can put them

1000 times deeper than what they can do by themself

I ask my client how deep they want to go

None of the above? As depth does not matter when doing ACH and therapy

29 / 45

Category: Advanced Conversational Hypnosis (ACH)

How important is eye closure when using ACH?

If a client closes their eyes, so be it. If they don't, that is fine too

They have to be closed to stop distraction

They have to be closed so I can test how deep they are in trance

30 / 45

Is longer processing better than shorter processing?

Shoter is best as clients want results straight away
