Seattle's Best Hypnotist Gives You The Key To Your Succes

In this short article, I will do my best to tell you about hypnosis, why it creates such success, how it works, how we apply it to help you get to where it is that you want to be, and the different types of hypnotic processes that are available. I will tell you all about the ones I work with and why I work with them, I will tell you about some that I do not work with and what the different approaches offer.

There are many kinds of hypnosis processes offered today, and I am glad to see that people have a selection of positive solutions available to them. I am first going to talk about my favorite approach. But, before we start I want you to understand this; there is no one size fits all approach to any challenge, issue, struggle, decision or anything else and that means that hypnosis is not a good fit for everything or everyone.

That is why you should always be offered a FREE consultation.

That way you get to know the practitioner and decide if you like them because you DO need to LIKE them and TRUST them in order for you to get the most out of the work. This also provides the practitioner time to determine if what you want to work on is within their scope of practice, do they feel comfortable working with it, and is it something they feel they can help with.

If you are not offered a free consultation, find someone else.

I primarily work with a process called C.O.N.T.R.O.L.
It is an acronym for how we practice.

• C – Create space.
• O – Open a line of communication.
• N – Notice the details.
• T – Talk to the part.
• R – Rewrite the patterns.
• O – Observe the changes.
• L – Live your life.

We like to K.I.S.S or Keep It Super Simple because that is what the mind likes, and since that is where we are making changes we need to follow its lead for full cooperation.

The thing that sets this process apart from any other form of hypnosis is the removal of all direct trance work. We do not induce a trance when working with C.O.N.T.R.O.L. Instead we create a state that we refer to as subconscious dominance and we bring that state about by hyper-stimulating your imagination.

Here is the model of the mind that I refer to in my practice.

The Conscious and SubConscious Mind.

There are 2 main parts to your thinking: the conscious and the subconscious.

The conscious is the logical, rational, reasoning part of your thinking. It’s your point of immediate focus, so the part that’s paying attention to me right now. It’s capable of doing maybe a handful of things at once so it has a limited capacity.

By contrast, your subconscious is constantly doing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of things, all in the background, most of it outside of your conscious awareness. It’s our emotional, imaginative, and creative part of our thinking. Most importantly for someone like me it’s the bit that holds all of our belief systems and our thought and behavioral patterns.

Anything you feel you do without thinking, you can’t stop doing, or you can’t start doing, that’s because there is a pattern of thought running in your subconscious that is driving that behavior.

If we want to change that pattern of thought, we have to get access to it and introduce something better.

The Map of Reality and The Critical Faculty

Up to the age of about 8 or 9 we were almost purely subconscious in the way we were processing things.We were emotional and ‘in the moment’.We saw it, we did it, and we learned. We then formed what we might refer to as our Map of Reality (our idea about how the world works).Around that time we then started to develop our more logical, conscious way of thinking and what came with our conscious mind is this thing we sometimes call The Critical Faculty.

This is the security guard of your mind.When new information comes in it judges it for truth. If it doesn’t match up with or isn’t at least compatible with what you have on your map of reality, that security guard will reject it as false (no matter how logical it seems to your conscious mind). Any attempt to change what is going on in your subconscious mind meets with the resistance of that security guard whose only job is to maintain a consistent reality (no matter how unhelpful that reality has now become).

How The Critical Faculty Works – The Spider.

So imagine that you’re 4 or 5 years old, you’re in the kitchen and a spider runs out. Mom screams and jumps on a chair, and your learning mind says, “That’s the appropriate response to those things because mom just did it and that’s who we’re learning from”.That goes into your mind and onto your map of reality. Then every spider you see for the rest of your life, your mind produces a fear response.You tense up, your heart beats faster and you start to sweat, even though your logical mind is now saying “that’s tiny, it can’t possibly harm me”. However, all of that logical stuff is being rejected by that security guard in your mind because it doesn’t match up with what you already know: Spiders are scary!
