The Man Who Really Slayed Hypnosis Inductions
I was going to title todays small blog entry "does hypnosis exist?" but some may find that title too provocative and people have asked that question long before me. I was not scheduled to actually write a blog entry today as I have a packed diary today, but I thought...
Narcosynthesis Instead of Hypnosis? Drug-Induced Hypnosis?
I was flicking through an old, second hand copy of a book originally printed in 1976 entitled Hypnosis and Behaviour Modification: Imagery Conditioning by William S Kroger and William D Fezler this week and I had to share something with you from it. The authors,...
1940s Attempt To Prove Effectiveness Of Hypnotic Regression Using Babinski Reflex
Those of you that tune in here on a regular basis will know my thoughts on the use of regression in hypnotherapy, and if you need any further clarification, go listen to my podcasts on the subject, Google my name and regression or you can read a couple of previous...
My Garden In May
Every now and then I like to write a blog post that is nothing to do with my professional field... As I have gotten older, the simpler things in life bring me the most happiness; spending time at our beach hut, running along the sea front as I train for marathons, the...

Using Response Sets In Hypnotherapy Sessions
So it is one of your first dates with someone and you are entertaining your date and having the over for dinner, you prepare dinner, wash and change and make yourself look nice and then when that person arrives at the door... You instantly launch yourself on them, you...
Spinning Hands Hypnosis Deepener
Over the years I have seen many demonstrations of hypnosis induction and deepeners, as have most hypnosis professionals (I would say 'every', but I think I'd be inaccurate). Most of those inductions and deepeners are not necessarily all that compelling to watch,...
Reminders, that's all folks
Today is my wedding anniversary, and as I was working all weekend running a training, I am getting up to date here in the office and then am heading out to spend some time with my wife. So I thought I'd just offer up a reminder of a couple of events I am organising...
Do People Really Respond Literally To Suggestions In Hypnosis?
Is it a myth of hypnosis or is it really the case that people treat suggestions they receive, when hypnotised, very literally? What I am referring to here is the school of thought that many hypnotists and hypnotherapists believe in that states that when an individual...
