In 1973, Flora Rheta Schreiber published her controversial book entitled Sybil. It was the story of a woman who appeared to manifest sixteen different personalities. The book is about Schreiber’s treatment of the woman for multiple personality disorder, known today as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the book as to whether or not the personalities were real or fabricated. But whatever the truth might be, Schreiber’s book did help to pave the way for the treatment of DID. Where hypnosis and dissociative identity disorder are concerned, however, there is a much older and more well-established link. In fact, hypnosis has been used to treat dissociative disorders as far back as the early 19th century. Not only [...]

If you know anything about hypnosis, you’ll probably realize this. It’s one of the best methods available to help somebody change the way they think and the way they behave. Hypnosis helps you switch off from the everyday conscious world so you can go inside and communicate with your unconscious. That’s the part of your mind that makes real change possible. It controls your thoughts, your emotions, your memories, and much more. Tap into that, and you can achieve anything. In one sense, hypnosis and OCD were meant for each other. Why? Because hypnosis can help a client suffering from OCD to stay calm and relaxed, to find other ways to cope with their anxiety and distress. The reason why hypnosis is so [...]

What exactly is happiness? You’ll find the beginnings of an answer in Part 1 of this article series. There you’ll learn that happiness is not success, and it’s not pleasure. In fact, it isn’t something you can find outside of yourself. Happiness is intrinsic, an internal state that doesn’t depend on anything external. And that’s why hypnosis and happiness work so well together… … because hypnosis lets you “go inside” and tap into your inner resources. One way to achieve that is by using the Agapic exercise outlined in Part 1. In this second part, you’re going to find out more about how to make the best use of that exercise.

According to the American Psychological Association, trauma is an emotional response to a horrific event such as an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Any shocking or dangerous event someone sees or that happens to them is a trauma. They may not even realize they’re traumatized. They’ll be in shock, feeling numb and detached – unable to deal with the emotional intensity of what happened. Fortunately, hypnosis is a powerful tool for dealing with many common types of trauma. In fact, hypnosis and trauma have a long and successful history. Techniques such as regression can help clients come to terms with their traumatic experiences and enable them to get on with their lives. That’s important because trauma is not a rare or unusual occurrence. [...]

You might be wondering, what does this actually look like in practice? According to the MetaModel, whatever someone experiences internally, they will also express externally in how and what they communicate. Which means once you know what to look for, you’ll be able to gather clues into how someone thinks and feels, so you can steer them in the right direction, and help dissolve any obstacles in their way. And in this new video training, you’ll find out how to [...]

Maxwell was quite a good hypnotist. So good, in fact, that everyone said he should practice hypnosis for a living. The idea appealed to Max too. After all, he’d spent years working on his technique to become the best hypnotist he possibly could. And his goal was always the same: to use his skills to help as many people as possible. But there was just one problem. He had the power to help people, but he didn’t have any people to help. As clever as he was, he didn’t understand hypnosis and client attraction. He’d spent all his time learning about the art of hypnosis, and not enough time learning about how to turn his talents into a business. As you know, whenever [...]
