3 reasons why a client will not allow themselves to be hypnotized.
- Fear of being hypnotized – which can be taken care of 98% of the time by experiencing it without any suggestions, just a chance to feel what it feels like to be more relaxed than you’ve ever been in your life before.
- Lack of trust in the hypnotist – which means that one needs excellent rapport with the person that they are employing to hypnotize them.
- t is very important for the client to truly want the outcome that they are coming in to be hypnotized to clear. For example: If I have a person who says they want to stop smoking, but it isn’t they that want it, but perhaps their parent or spouse, it isn’t going to work. It also won’t work if a doctor tells them that they have to stop smoking as evidenced by many prospects who called for smoking cessation who were on oxygen due to emphysema who never followed through. So, the desire for the outcome is most important. Because, though I am an excellent hypnotist, I will fail if I have a client who just isn’t interested in stopping the habit or is feeling more safe holding onto the problem than finding out what life is like without it. So, my job is to only hire clients who are ready to make the change “now” and are willing to do whatever it takes to do so. Anything less will not work.
Not long ago I had women 52 years old call me because she knew that the trauma that she experienced from her youth was getting in the way of her current quality of life. Her fear of being hypnotized is what she said kept her from going forward. However, what her fear most likely was, was not knowing who she would be without all these issues she had been dealing with all of her life. It can be very scary giving up what you know and are used to for something that is unknown. In this case, I did what I could to educate her, but realized that she wasn’t ready to move forward, so I let her go knowing that she wouldn’t be a good hypnosis candidate. One never wants to force a service on someone who isn’t ready, ever!
