3 Hypnotherapy Techniques Any Therapist Should Know

Hypnotherapy techniques are a fast effective and natural way of helping people feel better, yet many counsellors or therapists not familiar with how hypnosis works may regard using hypnotherapy as a 'no go area' for their clients.

In this video I'll explain why hypnosis to us is like water to a fish, and I'll share 3 core hypnotherapy techniques that any therapist should know.

I understand what you are describing as “anchoring”, a resource, and yes it is a valuable tool. I agree not all clients are well suited for exposure techniques, but those who are deeply disturbed by trauma, often do benefit from a “feel it to heal it” approach. The subconscious mind is after all the “feeling” mind, and in most cases those affects are the glue the amygdala uses to affix repeating patterns of unwanted behavior, or response. Exposure therapies such as EMDR, and EFT, if done correctly can open a clear path toward healing, and I often use them first session to establish the best direction to guide the client.

I have met many therapists over the years but never observed the composure and wisdom I see in you. The depth of understanding the problem and practical solutions are impressive and offer hope. This is excellent information that all makes complete sense, thank you.

I really enjoy using hypnosis and enjoy helping clients see and feel the benefits of it. It’s such a powerful tool to use with talking therapy. I initially was never interested in hypnotherapy but since learning it and using it I wouldn’t want to be without it. It’s always useful to recap on the techniques as it keeps me motivated, many thanks.

A Harvard study reported that as much as 50% of the efficacy of medicines can be attributed to the placebo effect.

man I just had my mind blown in the first minute of watching this video! Nothing profound really, but something so simple I wouldn't have thought of it. Maybe that was profound in its simplicity

Thank you ..it is useful and simply explained

[ralfwashington]

Very interesting. Almost sounds like me zoning out at work. I'm physically doing the task at hand but no way is my brain thinking about it from start to finish. I'm thinking and picturing many other things.

if only I could be as consistent in my life as you are with that polka dot shirt

I'm curious, would it be wise to try hypnotherapy on a client with dissociative disorder?

Your manner of speaking reminds me of a Catholic priest, or, victimized person, trying to talk a murderer from murdering them.
God, is a, comforting, God.
One's, phases, end man. Sweets.?
Instead of, 'Soldier returning from a war.'

I don't agree. You must feel to heal and get to the root of where the issue resides (regression), have the client see it, understand it and then let it go. I agree with Daniel Brooks (below) that clients will benefit by feeling to heal and that it is the feeling you are going after, if it is feelings of not being enough, it is not available to me or I am different, these beliefs need to be addressed and this means the client needs to feel these emotions in order to let them go. The therapist can with guidance reframe the belief and then transform the belief using the client's information of what they want and how they imagine life to be once the issue is gone.
