Hypnosis Training: A Lesson In Resistance Removal

David-Van-Arrick---Solid-Go125-130Many people while undergoing hypnosis training are taught about a concept called  “Resistance” unfortunately beyond the simple instruction about giving a good hypnotic  “pre-talk”, almost no one in the hypnosis training industry, or the conversational hypnosis training  industry for that matter EVER seems to address this forgotten domain of covert hypnotic influence.  Makes you start to wonder if they are either holding out on you, or… (maybe they just don’t know how to deal with it themselves hmmm…)

Now

I have to tell you I am on a lot of other hypnotists mailing lists. So obviously, I get A LOT of Email.

Most of it is the hypnotic equivalent of “dog poop” but every now and then I find a few gold nuggets hidden in the poop.

One of which I’d like to share with you and maybe even pass on the challenge to you.

Recently I did  survey to my 1200 plus STEALTH Hypnosis Students safely Tucked away in the STEALTH Hypnosis Training Head Quarters. I was getting ready to launch the next level in their training and I wanted to know exactly what areas they wanted their bonus materials to focus on.

No Surprise to me, but the number one area people wanted to know about was “how to deal with resistance” well the truth is dealing with resistance is very easy once you understand resistance.

And You MUST understand if it you Want To Master How To Defeat It. Notice I didn’t say over come it.

That is what most “persuaders” try to do.

All resistance is a Hypnotic Phenomenon. i.e. a hypnotic operator that can be utilized.

A true master of covert hypnosis is a master of “Utilization.

Utilization is a hypnosis concept that means the ability to use situation or phenomenon that arises in such a way as to use to enhance your hypnotic effects and find a way to use it to generate hypnotic leverage on the mind of the subject.

Recently I got an email from Hypnosis Expert Clifford Mee ( you may know him from www.streethypnosis.com)

In his email Clifford Recounts a Story About the  famous Conversational Hypnosis Master “Milton Erickson”… you May have heard of him Winking smile

Here’s Clifford’s  Email and Challenge for You. ( post your analysis Below in the form of a comment)

A retired policeman once told the legendary hypnotist, Milton Erickson…

"I have emphysema, high blood pressure, and, as you can see, I am grossly
overweight.

   "I drink too much. I eat too much.

   "I want a job but my emphysema and blood pressure prevent that.

   "I would like to cut down on my smoking. I’d like to get rid of it.

   "I’d like to quit drinking about a fifth of whiskey a day and I’d like to eat sensibly."

   Erickson ask him, "Are you married?"

   The policeman replied, "No, I’m a bachelor. I do my own cooking, but
there’s a restaurant right around the corner where I often visit ".

   Erickson said, "So, there’s a handy restaurant around the corner where you
can dine. Where do you buy your cigarettes?"

   He said he bought two cartons at a time.

   Erickson pointed out, "In other words, you buy cigarettes not for today, but
for the future. Now since you do most of your own cooking, where do you shop?"

   The policeman said, "Fortunately, there’s a little grocery store right
around the corner. That’s where I get my groceries and cigarettes."

"Where do you get your liquor?"

   The policeman replied there was one right next door to the grocery.

Erickson summarized the situation.

"So you have a handy restaurant, grocery
and liquor store near your house.

   "You say you want to jog, but you can’t.

   "However, you CAN walk.

   "All right, buy your cigarettes one pack at a time. Walk across town to buy your
pack.

   "That will get you in shape.

   "As for groceries, don’t go to the one by your place. Find another one at least
a mile away.

   "And buy JUST enough for one meal. That’s three nice walks a day.

   "As for the liquor, you can drink all you want to.

   "Take your first drink at a bar at least a mile away.

   "If you want a second drink, find another bar at least a mile away.

   "If you want a third, find another bar a mile away."

   The policeman looked at Milton Erickson angrily.

He cursed at him.

And left.

   A month later, a new patient came by to see Erickson and told him this…

   "A policeman referred me to you and said you were the only psychologist in town
who knew what he was doing."

   This story is worth reading a few times.

   There are many levels to it.

   I’ll show you a couple, and then I’d like you to tell me other levels and interpretations
you’ve found.

   Here’s one…

   Erickson did not DEPRIVE his subject of his wants. He didn’t say you can’t do
this, or you must stop that.

   That’s what well-meaning friends and family do.

Notice it never works.

   Instead, Erickson tells the policeman what he CAN do.

   He can drink all he want, smokes all he wants, eats all he wants.

   But he must walk.

   Now, here’s a second and much deeper level to this story.

   You might be thinking.

   Well, if I heard that I’d disobey and just keep on smoking, drinking and
   over-eating.

   Right?

   Who in the right mind would dutifully follow these absurd instructions?

   Here’s where Erickson is brilliant.

   What is a policeman trained to do from the moment he joins the academy?

He is trained to listen and obey!

   Erickson knew this.

   He has a long history of carrying out orders.

   So Erickson gave this policeman instructions, expecting him to follow it.

And this lesson is extremely important.

   What Erickson did was meet the subject in HIS frame of reference.

   When you begin the process of hypnotizing someone…

   And you’re starting to build trust and rapport, it’s highly important you pay
attention to who your subject is.

   Every little detail.

   A detail like being a policeman and being susceptible to following orders…

   That’s huge.

   Pay attention to your next NEW subject.

   Someone you haven’t hypnotized before.

   As you find out more about who they are, start brainstorming in your head (very
quickly) how you can use what you know about them…

   …to help speed up the induction process.

   That’s all the hypnosis news for today,

Hypnotic Attraction Secrets: Absorb What Is Useful!

Hypnotic Attraction Secrets: What Most Hypnotists Don’t Want You To Know.

The truth is most hypnotists suck. I’m not saying that to be mean, vindictive or to toot my own horn. Its just that the vast majority of people who ever bother to get to a hypnosis training, much less those who just read a book or two on it NEVER go out and use what they learned.

Check out this article below, I think you will find it useful

If you want to learn how to hypnotize someone, it is perhaps best to learn from a working hypnotist, if possible. Certain hypnotists are reluctant to reveal
howtogetaguytonoticeyou.net/articles/?how-to-hypnotize…

Hypnosis is a broad broad field with a wide range of applications, in fact the areas where you can apply hypnotic technique are only bound by your own imagination. First things first. Never learn hypnosis from someone who doesn’t actually use it on regular basis. And always test waht they teach you to make sure what you have learned really works and works for you.

As Bruce Lee Once Said "Absorb What is Useful,Reject What is Useless, Add What is Uniquely Your Own.

Subliminal Hypnosis Secrets… Do They Really Work?

Hey Covert Hypnosis Fans.


its me your loyal friend and covert hypnosis buddy David (X) back with you to discuss the power of subliminal hypnosis recordings. To that effect I would like to share with you a recent post I got from my good friend and associate Brian David Phillips Regarding The Power of Subliminal Hypnosis Recordings.
 

Do they work The Way Everyone Says…?

 
Decide for yourself,

  Here’s Brian…


    

 Recently, David, I was asked about subliminals and direct hypnosis as to which is more effective. Evidently I was unclear in my response so I’m going to restate things a bit here.


    

    My point is that subliminals don’t work . . . at least they don’t work the way many people think they work. You’ll do yourself more good by using direct overt hypnotic process and suggestion work . . . and doing the work of clearing things and compounding.

    

    Scripts are much more effective than subliminals. Live sessions with a qualified and competent and experienced hypnotist who knows what he’s doing are much more effective than scripts.

    

    There are a number of studies that show subliminals are not appreciably more effective than simple placebo. Subliminals are bells-and-whistles, they are not effective tools for influencing the subconscious in and of themselves. I know,

    

    I know . . . there are a number of webpages which refer to a famous early study regarding the flashing of subliminal images at a drive in theatre to drive up concession sales . . . well, that study was faked. It was a fraud propagated by an advertising firm looking to drum up business.

    

    There has been good solid research in subliminal media but that’s the study everyone remembers, even if it was a well-perpetrated hoax.

    

    When subliminals have been used in controlled studies, they don’t measure up well.

    

    Direct Suggestion Hypnosis has been proven to be more effective than so-called subliminal processes . . . this is partly due to the fact that the subject has to at least do some of the work to get the job done. Purely passive subliminal systems are ineffective.

    

    The thing about suggestion is that the person being hypnotized must want and believe and accept the suggestion. So, you have to do the work and get into the right frame of mind. Of course, this is one of the reasons live sessions are more valuable than taped ones as the hypnotist can work the feedback loop and help resolve any so-called resistance issues as they happen.

    

    There are NO magic bullet methods that work on everyone all the time with no resistance or work.

    

    Studies of subliminal tapes have shown they work primarily because of placebo. When given a tape with subliminal persuasion on it, the subjects tend to have success with it IF THEY KNOW IT’S A SUBLIMINAL TAPE. If they don’t know it’s got subliminals then it tends to have no effect.

    

    If given a tape with nothing but white noise but no subliminals and they are told there are subliminals, subjects have the same positive benefits as a tape with subliminals that they were told were there. If they are not told the white noise tape has subliminals then there is no positive benefit.

    

    Most of the tapes out there that claim to use subliminals don’t use actual targeted media content, instead, they throw in light mixing or white noise. At least one study of a major subliminal tape producer showed that under analysis there was no appreciable content within the audio stream.

    

    Many subliminal producers seem to think that all you have to do is down mix content or garble it into white noise. This is NOT the case.

    

    While many will tell you their tapes are different, that they have a wonderful process which delivers one hundred percent of the content directly into the subconscious, directly, easily, with no pain for maximum gain . . . ask to see their numbers. That is, ask for their real success rates with a group of one hundred or more randomly selected individuals . . . with longitudinal feedback of say as little as a year or even a couple months or as little as two weeks.

    

    Most won’t have those numbers and will instead refer you to testimonies or Amazon.Com "customer reviews" which are not real indicators of success (in fact, in this industry especially, such things are often manipulated). Even if the testimonies are real, they only indicated individual success, not general patterns of effectiveness.

    

    Of course, many folks will tell you they don’t have the resources to do such studies – which seems odd since most professionals keep records and do mailings and feedback reviews as a part of a professional practice. If they do indeed help thousands, you’d think they would have some records of how many purchase their services and what the base rough rates would be.

    

    It seems to me they are operating under the same delusion as the single-session stop-smoling guys who say they are one-hundred-percent effective because none of their stop-smoking folks ever call for a second appointment . . . when, as well all know, many of those folks don’t get second appointments because they suck tepid sewer water when it comes to providing adequate services.

    

    The studies that do look at large groups of control-case and case-case comparisons regarding subliminals come from universities rather than producers of the products and they are by-and-large consistent in their assessment that most such products are little more than placebo.

    

    You’ll have just as much success giving clients a blank tape and telling them it’s a new high-tech sublimination process that goes directly into the unconscious. Of course, it’s hard to give oneself a placebo of this type once the genie is out of the bottle or Toto moves the curtain aside to reveal the man operating the subliminal controls.

   I hope that this time I’ve been a bit clear for you.
