Michael,
Could you please keep this thread alive rather than deleting it, as I feel that it deals with a very important subject matter that could (should!!) be of GREAT benefit to the members of this Forum. I'm fairly confident that a number of o...
Hello Gil,
You are absolutely correct about that (LOL!); but I would regard it as a stupendous badge of HONOR to be remembered one day as having been a "moving and inspiring yet pitiful" character like Don Quixote.
After all, the guy (fictitious ...

Hello Sual, One of the most moving and inspiring yet pitiful characters in Literature is Don Quixote. Who because of his mania spends his life "Tilting at Windmills! ---Gil Boyne.
In theory, I like the idea of mainstreaming a practice. The down side is that I think it requires standardization of what we do. My guess is that the general population needs to know what they can expect from a modality before it can accept it int...

Hello Steve, I think your post is great. My reasons are; it is cogent; it speaks directly in plain English; it covers the duplicity of hidden (covert) issues; you stand your ground and speak your thoughts without fear of "being thought politically...
Hugh,
Are you saying that rather than lamenting the cold hard fact that hypnosis has been a pitiful case study of LOST POTENTIAL for more than two centuries (because the public has a totally misguided perception of the phenomenon from constant ex...
Hi Kathleen,
Susan didn't drink her toxic feelings -- She used her post as a venting mechanism and got them out of her system -- In my opinion that was healthy in this context. I believe that most potential clients would recognize that Susan was ...
Bravo!

My number one concern is and has always been my client's well being and best interests. Having said that, I believe that we can mainstream our practices without compromising our effectiveness or government regulation-- if that's what people want.

My South African Adventure - Working and Playing in South Africa
I'm back in NYC. My working vacation in Cape Town and Johannesburg was the adventure of a lifetime and I am lucky to be alive! But first, I want to thank my host and sponsor, Claudia Klein, who owns and directs the South African Institute of Hypnotism (SAIH) in Cape Town, and Tom Budge, her associate who runs SAIH's Johannesburg hypnosis training center. Claudia, Tom and everyone that I met in South Africa treated me like a beloved family member. I will always remember and appreciate Claudia's a… Continue

Title: Comprehensive Tobacco-Control Programs Reduce Smoking in New York City
Two comprehensive antismoking campaigns in New York City have been successful in reducing the smoking rate
The 17.5% prevalence among New York City residents in 2006 amounts to a 19% decrease from 2002 when the rate was 21.6%, representing 240,000 fewer adult smokers and an average annual rate of decrease of 5%, according to a report in Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report. Young adults (aged 18–24 years) had the largest 2002–2006 decrease, 35%.
The city's efforts consisted of increased taxation, establishment of smoke-free workplaces, public and health-care-provider education, cessation services, and rigorous evaluation, including annual cross-sectional, citywide telephone surveys.

I added in before i took it down that i am so grateful for everyone's responses - i know i didn't handle this very well and it is in these times that i am learning to grow and release parts of me that i no longer wish to have :)
I absolutely will take all suggestions seriously as i wish to be an awesome therapist and genuinely care for others - i have helped many already but have a long way to go, and will do so much more cautiously and gently - now where is that insecurities hypnosis cd! hahahaahaha

- Hi, Michael - I just read a thread about pain management for headaches. Do you believe we can effectively eradicate cluster headaches, which are a neurological disease? If so, how would you suggest doing that? I've never worked with this subject matter before and would welcome any insight! Thanks, Michele

Regarding the corporate presentation by Shirley Patterson, you mentioned your script of "emotional detox". Where can I see that, can I get a copy, help help. I also am doing a presentated, plan to do a group session as part of it and your script might be perfect. Thanks in advance. Linda

John I did it today and It didn't work :(

Sure, "the more information you have the better you can help your client", It's called building rapport and asking questions.
You only "regress to cause" when nothing else helped, without building a rapport, you can trigger more nega...

Craig, thank you. Karen
Someone here has a quote about regret...it reminded me of an old country song that says "I'd rather be sorry for something I've done than for something that I didn't do." Might even be a quote from Hugh a couple of weeks ago. So what would I regre...
Wonderful question!
My first induction was at Starbuck's. Good friend...arm levitation induction...I had never practiced it before and seeing his hand begin to lift blew my mind! After a momentary panic, he had a great journey and I had the fever!
