Whatever happens to those demonstration subjects that you see at seminars, anyway? Does the change last? Do they really transform? Well, at this seminar you will find out! After a recap of the previous seminar, and an open talk where you can share any challenges or successes you have been having in your hypnosis practice, you will observe a demonstration of what to do after the initial session. The smoking cessation subject from the previous seminar will get back on stage, and talk about what life as a non-smoker has been like. Then you will witness how to take care of their cravings, and replace their desire for cigarettes with powerful post-hypnotic commands.

We start off the afternoon discussing the two types of relaxation techniques. We will also cover how to do either relaxation technique in a direct or indirect manner, including how and when to add authoritarian or permissive language into the inductions. Then you will pair up with another student, do a brief personality profiling, and create an induction based upon their personality.

Now that you're developing various induction methods, we will introduce rapid inductions. One of the inductions will be the rapid induction method you observed during the pain control demonstration from the basic course. It's always a favorite and it's just as fun for the client as it is for the hypnotist! In addition, we will talk about the two shortest rapid inductions ever created. They are both very fast, and both only one word long! (And no, the words are not "sleep" or "relax"!)

You will continue your transformation into a professional hypnotherapist who knows how to produce results by revisiting the 8-step hypnotic process covered in the first seminar. But today, we will address the subtle nuances that can make or break the success of therapy. You will discover the importance of language and how it affects your clients even before we begin the induction. You will learn how to use language so clients can feel an emotion or distance themselves from one. We will look at your pre-talk and modify the language to create a more powerful effect on your clients.

A powerful hypnotherapist must know how to read a client. Reading your client helps you to design more powerful inductions and therapies, and allows you to dismiss a client gracefully. You will discover how to deal with people who have hidden agendas, and see a follow-up with our pain control subject from the previous seminar.

The afternoon will take a different turn. We will depart from the subject of therapy and address a critical marketing issue: How can you separate yourself from the stereotype of the typical "bark like a dog" hypnotist and foster professionalism and dignity?

You will learn specific, step-by-step instructions on how to market yourself that cover what associations you should join, what kind of ads get results, and what kind of ads waste money.

During this Part 1, you will learn exactly how to incorporate direct suggestions in combination with your End Result Imagery you learned from Episode I. I'll share with you my secrets to make them flow seamlessly and you will learn how to create and install powerful post-hypnotic commands.

Remember our weight loss demo from the first seminar? They'll be back too, sharing their successes and challenges. I will demonstrate a follow-up session for weight loss just in time for you to go to lunch to see if the post-hypnotic commands are working!

One of the greatest benefits of hypnosis is learning how to remember anything. So we will cover the structure of memory storage and retrieval. You will see a demonstration - a subject remembering a series of words and symbols given to the audience the day before. After the demonstration, we will break into groups, and everyone will be hypnotized and recall the very same list.

Lastly, we will take everything you have learned from this seminar and the one prior and put it all together. You will prepare your client for trance, create an induction based upon their personality, design and structure an entire therapeutic process on the fly complete with post-hypnotic commands, and deliver it with the confidence and competence to walk away from this seminar certain in your abilities as a hypnotherapist.

We begin by studying other ways in which you can and should induce trance. We will expose you to the art of conversational hypnosis - where mere words, spoken in normal dialogue, can assist your clients in entering altered states of consciousness. You will witness a demonstration where simply asking rhetorical questions to the client will take them from the conscious state into a profound state of hypnotic relaxation. Because this is conversational, oftentimes audience participants will also enter this altered state.

When we return from a healthy lunch, you will learn 19 ways in which you can use normal, everyday dialogue to assist people in entering a hypnotic state, and you will also experience the demonstration witnessed from the Part 1. The afternoon is filled with exercises that stimulate your right brain, and install these 19 language patterns unconsciously within you. So instead of having to memorize the patterns; you can just find yourself speaking in your new language.

Previously, you witnessed the subjects changing their thought patterns with the influence of creative stories - metaphors. Now you will learn the keys to creating powerful metaphors yourself, so you no longer need to depend on script books. There are two simple ways to create metaphors. You will learn both of them before noon.

Most hypnosis courses that teach metaphor design give you an understanding of how to create metaphors, but you still need to do all the work. One of the most unique benefits of this course is that you will walk away not only with a thorough understanding of this process, but also with ready-to-use metaphors created in class, based on common therapies that hypnotherapists face. By Section 2, we will have all of the metaphors organized and distributed to each of the students.

We begin the afternoon with a chat about my personal philosophy on the design and structure of formulating suggestions. Throughout my years of study, I've been exposed to very powerful hypnotic suggestions. I have also been exposed to hypnotic suggestions that simply made me laugh from the lack of professionalism and tackiness. You will be exposed to actual transcripts from hypnotic sessions, and self-hypnosis tapes that are powerful and weak - learning what makes them different. By understanding the philosophy behind the structure of hypnotic suggestions, you will be able to increase your success rate in your therapies by actually creating suggestions more likely to be accepted.

We finish the evening by learning tried-and-true techniques for communicating directly to your unconscious mind. These techniques not only allow you to speak directly to your unconscious mind, but even better, give you specific ways in which you can receive clear communication back from your unconscious mind. Imagine being able to get crystal clear "yes or no" signals from your unconscious mind when you ask it a question! "Is this food healthy for me?" "Am I deficient in this vitamin?" "Will you heal my body?" "Can you correct my vision?" You can ask all these questions and many more, directly to your unconscious mind - and receive absolute answers. Why not address these questions to the one force that keeps you alive?

Ever wonder what to do with difficult clients? The ones who still doubt you, no matter how clear you are about them maintaining control and hearing what you say? Ever wonder what to do with skeptics or over-analytical clients who look for every exception to the rule? Well, by the end of this day, they will no longer be a source of your frustration. In fact, you will learn my favorite technique for dealing with such people. It is, in my opinion, the most powerful technique you will learn thus far for producing profound, deep hypnotic states and doing so at an incredibly easy pace.

Still have those clients that - despite your best efforts - can't seem to release pain? Well, the better part of the afternoon will be spent providing additional strategies for helping people to finally let go of the pain they so desperately want to release.

As a commitment to your success, we will finish the afternoon off with some more business strategies. We will share with you how to take everything you've learned so far and address it to the masses by conducting group hypnotherapy processes. You won't just get ideas... you'll get actual scripts on what to say for smoking and weight loss hypnosis sessions, and samples of ads that produce results and get people to attend. We will also warn you of the ads to avoid and the best vs. worse places to advertise.
