What is trance?
I agree with Gil - because it seems that he agrees with me! :-) Robert

How to bring someone out of Trance that isn't responding?
Although I like Stephen Gruber's idea of telling them you will charge them double, the simplest one is what John Cleesattel said - "If you don't come out when I tell you, you won't ever be able to ...

The REALLY good subject - Can You Pick Him/Her Out?
Simple - TEST! Every stage hypnotist does tests to see who will go well, and therapists who know what they're about will also perform tests. For the therapist though, they will use the results to ...

Hi there. I have to half-agree with Bob Burns near the beginning of this thread. I believe that we enter TRANCE all the time, but to be honest, there are many types of this (drug-induced, meditati...

Although I like Stephen Gruber's idea of telling them you will charge them double, the simplest one is what John Cleesattel said - "If you don't come out when I tell you, you won't ever be able to reach this state again". I've used it myself, and ...

Hi there.
I have to half-agree with Bob Burns near the beginning of this thread.
I believe that we enter TRANCE all the time, but to be honest, there are many types of this (drug-induced, meditative, watching TV), but there is only ONE trance tha...
The Fourth Kind IS based upon a true story . . . sort of. There were disappearances in Nome and many of them were unexplained. Most of the folks who disappeared were native Americans. When the FBI investigated they found a number of common factors...
And by the way, Robert, I applaud your method of keeping the client present and working toward resolution. What possible good can come of going back to a state of helplessness?
In defense of The Fourth Kind (not that I believe it's a true story or know any of the alleged facts behind it) when Dr. Tyler regressed the first client she was trying to uncover a sleep problem. The second regression was completely irresponsible...
I loved Paranormal Activity even though I didn't get that scared. For my first horror movie, I was surprised. I'm using Paranormal Activity for inspiration for the book I'm writing. I love the stream of consiousness writing style...i'm so used to ...
It's just a movie. If you want to see a really bad movie in terms of putting down hypnosis watch "The Hypnotic Eye" if you can find it. I though "Paranormal Activity" was the better of the two films out now.
With apologies again to Jaynes ,,,, As craptastic (new word thank you Brian) as this picture is.. It will soak into the collective cognitive conciosness of the species and some people will adopt it as valid representations of what goes on in hypno...
so I went last night to see the movie, and I think they did a good enough job portaying hypnosis to really scare people. I've heard that the "real footage" was fake and after watching this, I believe they are staged. Its a Blair Witch situation.
...
Unfortunately, I've encountered quite a few individuals who disprove that distinction . . .
Actually I think it was said quite well in "Men in Black"
Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.
*SMILES*

Dennis,
Any time I'm puzzled by human behavior, I remember an important observation someone much smarter than I once made. It really explains myriad confusing situations. It can be stated thus:
People
Are
Stupid . . .
Explains a lot, doesn't...
My wife was looking at going to the movie the other day, and she came across an internet preview of this movie. As soon as we began watching the preview, I knew that I had absolutely no interest in seeing the movie.
Based on that preview, I would...
Hello again Kyle,
Looking back I probably overlooked my intended point. Hypnosis from someone else is FAR more effective than self-suggestion in my experience. My case is based on the concept that somnambulism and the Esdaile state can't be employ...

That's a little bit like saying if a client comes into your office and you notice they smoke, while in a trance do slip in a smoking cessation (for their own good)...

Hi Roy,
I was planning to take the third week of the course you are offering in BC. I am registered hypnotherapist and would love to do parts training. Would this training be similiar to the parts seminars you offer.
Hypnosis, NLP,
Mind/Body Technologies
Training Bulletin Board.
Group dedicated to graduates of Roy Hunter's course and/or Roy's parts therapy workshops.
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...
My response is that as a Christian, I don't know if there are past lives or not - I don't think so - but I don't care - that's not important to our work. What is important is to unhook a negative emotion that we may have label at an unconscious le...
I never propose past life regression to a client, but I'll do it if a client asks me for it. I always explain that I don't know whether people are reincarnated, so the experience might simply be an important message from their unconscious.
You sh...
Thank you Roy, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you, your wife and your family! Roger
I'm really curious - how do you read Hebrews 9:27 to say anything about past lives? As I read it in context of the chapter it says that we die once (no more than once) and then we face judgment.
It is not my job to mess with my client's faith. My...
