Saul:
I’ll accept that you were throwing stones at a past thread and that you are not trying to profit from book sales.
Do you object to the public display or the style?
I will ask you If Gill could prove that his induction was the most effectiv...
John,
P.S. I hope that you (or anyone else for that matter) doesn't think for even ONE minute that I give a rat's behind about selling a few more copies of my book because of this thread, and thereby enriching my coffers with the stupendous royal...
John,
I'm afraid you got (or perhaps I mistakenly gave you) the wrong impression, because that statement did not refer to folks on THIS thread, but rather to several people on a thread back in December 2008 who all ganged up on me in the most cow...
Fable:
Isn’t it odd that the only redemption for us "pathetic bunch of smarmy, ignorant buffoons", is to buy Saul’s book. As they say in my home state of New Jersey “Go Figure”. I feel that this topic has made some interesting points and to close ...
Hello Saul,
Speaking (i suspect) as one of the
"pathetic bunch of smarmy, ignorant buffoons."
I remember clearly the previous thread, (December 2008)
which is being refered to in the last few posts on this thread
Frequently when people did not...
Michael H.,
Thanks for taking the trouble to share your thoughts. I don't mind admitting that I'm not sure I understand what some of them have to do with the historical problem of hypnotism's terrible IMAGE ("forms of dualism", "objectification o...
Hello Rene, I have read several posts from hypnotists who state that they never "touch" clients and others who say they ask permission to touchand others who video/audio tape every session. There are some schools here in England that teach, "you m...
James,
I'm glad you now remember our calm and respectful conclusion because, like I said, I ultimately enjoyed our intelligent discourse even though we ended up having to "agree to disagree".
That was in stark contrast to my feelings towards cert...
Hi Gerry,
Great to see ya!
My guess is that her fear of vomiting concealed other social anxieties. After-all, I would think that she would be thrilled that she got "so" much relief in one session, instead she shares that: "I find it difficult to...
I'll be joining this discussion as soon as time allows... Crazy busy but I like the topic. Thanks for posting it, Michael.
Scott, Roger, Richard, Michael H., Robert and future responders.
Thank your for joining this discussion - I am confident that we can make this an adventure in thinking about what we do and how we do it with the goal of EFFECTIVELY reaching and EFF...
Saul,
Off the top of my head (so to speak), I think it has to do with multiple factors:
One would be a certain aspect within the forms of dualism that “The West” sees in existence.
The objectification of the human experience of “Me” or “I”. This o...
Saul,
You are right that we did eventually close the debate on an agreement to disagree and respect one another's opinions, and I apologize if the early barbs still stand out in my mind more than the calmer conclusion. I just don't see any point ...
Hi Michael H.,
I now understand- so no harm, no foul, and let's leave it at that.
As for THE (potentially at least) "thought-provoking question", here's the second attempt, and I'll follow up by re-posting my (brief) "Introduction" so that you wo...
Saul,
I did not communicate that well, my apologies.
My intent was to second, what I read as, Lee's implication that some of the input in this discussion consisted of ad hominem attacks. I was not singling out anyone in particular but was intend...
Namaste, my friend.
Thanks Lee,
I consider that a very well thought out and sensitive post.
Love and hugs,
Fable
James,
As far as I recall, I was indeed initially rather curt and disrespectful towards you in that thread, but that was because I was being ganged up on by the inevitable "stage hypnotist mafia" (hey, I'm from New Joisey, so it's a valid simile ...
Lee,
Thank you for your cogent reply. I'll try my best to reply in kind to the various points you made.
1. I really didn't "adopt a point of view" and then spent the next thirteen years searching for data to support that view in order to write a...
Saul,
My mother once told me that if you can't say something nice, it's better to say nothing at all.
The first time that I encountered your statements about the supposed evils of demonstrational hypnosis, I perused the free chapters of your boo...

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

Hi Adrian

I notice that many hypnotists either avoid the use of hypnotic regression themselves, or in some cases even criticize the use of regression. That reluctance has been mentioned on this thread.
