Hypnosis
A few years ago, I had placed hypnosis among the
“evil modalities” to stay away from. I had only
heard about the dark side of hypnosis, or the silly
way people were acting during hypnosis shows. To
me, hypnosis was a way to control people into
doing something silly or forcing them do to some
evil stuff. I had read Edward Bernay’s Propaganda
book, as well as others, and they made my blood
curl.
To NOT fall under the spell of greedy salespeople
(it had happened to me several times) who use
hypnosis to make you buy their wares, I decided to
take a hypnosis course, letting a friend and
colleague of mine know that “I was just taking the
course to understand how it works, NOT to use it.”
That was my starting point. As the course
progressed (with Mike Mandel Hypnosis
Academy), I started to think, “Wow, I could use this
technique with this client, and that technique
would help that one.”
