0:00 The Magic of Hypnosis is touched upon

0:30 Julie asks me to explain what I mean by Self-Hypnosis

1:08 Julie allows me to use her personal example of why she had chosen to use hypnosis

1:55 The breakdown of what the brain does. A lived experience, a valid lived experience, that was survived, the brain made sense of it in the only way it knew how. That stopped serving your greatest good. (Example of a negative self-hypnotic trance.)

2:26 Neural-Feedback Loop of the brain is introduced along with the benefits of shifting or reframing one’s thoughts

3:01 all the math adds up

3:16 The Personal Trainer of the Mind metaphor is clarified to Julie. The Hypnotist is The Personal Trainer of the Brain. Plain & Simple!

4:05 I speak about my belief system of what a professional hypnotist actually is, no matter if they call themselves a hypnotherapist, a consulting or a clinical hypnotist, personal coaching is at the heart of it all.

4:23 Empowering the truth of what is possible versus the limiting beliefs and misperceptions of the societal trance we have chosen to live in.

4:57 Julie steers the conversation towards The Secret and we talk about vision boards and manifestation.

5:40 We cross the intersection between Manifestation and Hypnosis! The secret is hypnosis is “the special sauce” of what makes The Secret work.

5:47

“I can manifest my fears. I can manifest my pain. WAIT! If I can manifest the worst I can manifest the best.”

That connection of the mind is the point we are having fun making.

5:58

“All hypnosis is Self-Hypnosis”

‘Hypnosis’ is simply shorthand for the longer term. We break it down.

6:40 The Subconscious Mind and the importance of its long-running tape of every lived experience.

7:20 The Future-Self realization (healed-self knowledge) most of my clients have during our work together:

They got over it a long time ago. They just hadn’t let it go yet.

8:00 The Past Self is discussed through the lens of Mike Dooley’s work and how it correlates with my work. Since everything in your past got you to where you are today, then you can reverse that. Connect with your future-self and action-plan what it takes to get to that version of yourself.

9:00 Examples of this mentality are given and accepted.

9:55 It’s really that simple. But when we use the word “hypnosis” people want to believe we are talking about magic or mind control.

“It’s just mental gymnastics. Getting healthy. being strong. Being fluid. It is amazing what we can do to ourselves in our head. It’s amazing the stories we can repeat that aren’t helpful. And they aren’t any more true than the stories we tell to create great things.

People want to say, ‘oh you are telling yourself positive things, stop lying to yourself.’

Well, you’re telling yourself negative things, stop lying to yourself.

Live in the gray. Be neutral, at least.”
