  • The Master Class for the next training is already sold-out for May 2024. Next will be November 2024...
  • Therapy is going in a really good direction...top down instead of bottom up!
  • Beware of imposing your own model of the world on your clients!
  • Hypnosis and anxiety are both nominalizations!
  • Our friend Roy Hunter is big on client-centered therapy...
  • We prefer discussion to being lectured...
  • Bernheim used only DSiH, and got amazing results...
  • Scott Sandland does stellar work because he is client-centered too!
  • Esdaile had prestige too! Yes, we're back to the testicular tumors, folks!
  • Take every penny you have, and put it on Lord Melbury's Ballgasm, in the 6th race at Belmont!
  • Erickson used to be too direct in the beginning...
  • Reveen was very direct!
  • Paternal hypnotists often go in with an agenda...
  • Erickson became very maternal over time...
  • NLP changed everything by adding calibration, rapport, the Meta Model, etc.
  • With rapport you can do near miracles...without it...not so much.
  • Erickson was a psychiatrist who brought in the nominalizations, etc.
  • The client's words are especially important! Use them...
  • Bottom-up therapy is when the hypnotist is the locus of control...
  • Top-down therapy starts and ends with the client...
  • Clean Language from David Grove fits the bill perfectly!
  • You only talk to the person, but it causes Aha moments and often resolution of the issue...
  • People know their own metaphors...
  • Let the metaphor come from the client's unconscious mind, not your conscious mind!
  • Mirroring Hands by Rossi and Richard Hill is bizarre and absolutely wonderful!
  • Mike's certified in Mirroring Hands!
  • MINDSCAPING is Mike's finest work! The client's unconscious unlocks the problem...
  • The unconscious creates a map in space around the client, which is then explored...
  • Get a full box of hypnotic tools! Come and study with us, either live in Toronto, or online...
