Day 1 - Morning session 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.

Day 1 - Afternoon session

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"!)

Journey of the Mind Episode II: Day 2

Day 2 - Morning Session

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.

Day 2 - Afternoon session

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.

3. Journey of the Mind Episode II: Day 3

Day 3 - Morning Session

During this morning session, 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!

Day 3 - Afternoon session

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.
