    My First Interview

    Friday, February 22, 2008, 03:49 PM [General]

    Hey Everyone

    Sorry I haven't been around much, but I have a lot of great things going on in my life right now. I have been working around the clock on getting my new website for my practice up and running. Southern Hypnosis & Consulting. I have also been working with a good friend Taylor to add context and market his hypnosis and Nlp forum called Trancedout Forums.

    I have also been working on a couple of new articles for my blog. Beside all of this I have also been seeing clients, reading books and courses and enjoying my new certified hypnosis pro mug (Thanks Cal & Celeste)

    The real reason I'm writing this blog is to let everyone know that I have given my first interview. I'm really excited and I know I will get better at it in the future. A lot of people have found my story of being a young hypnotist pretty interesting and has been turning into good publicity. I have also recently been asked to guest star on a local news station. Pretty cool stuff and i'll post more details when that goes through.

     

    I would love for all my friends and fellow hypnotist to check out the interview and let me know what you think. I was interviewed by The Transparent Hypnotist and the link can be found below:

    I look forward to having some more free time too once my wife and I get the new puppy house broken. Once again great success to all.

    Setting up my practice

    Friday, January 11, 2008, 11:41 AM [General]

    Hello Everyone

    It has been a while since I written a blog post on this site. I have been busy working on setting up my first hypnosis practice named "Southern Hypnosis & Consulting". I have been working on the website and attempting to turn my home study into a hypnosis office.

    I recently got my hypno-chair, which I love and to be honest I want to keep it for myself. :) Just sitting in the chair seems to send me into a deep level of hypnosis.

    I have also been dealing with the whole business license and tax Id issue. I'm located in Columbus, georgia and while their are no laws on the book. The city adds a little odd to hypnosis sometimes. Since I want to work out of my house I have to go in front of the zoning board and get their approval to work out of my house.

    I guess their main concern is traffic, but I don't see that becoming too much of an issue. I plan to only have one car at my office at a time.

    On the education front I am continuing to learn more about hypnosis. I'm really interesting in learning more about weight loss. I see it can be a very intense and interesting field.

    One of the biggest hurdles I am attempting to overcome is my hypnosis skills as far as talking to the client. I seem to be at a loss everytime i finish the induction. I always do well and get through, but it feels to me as if I have trouble thinking of what to say to the client. I talk to them as if I am a concerned friend, but sometimes the words just don't seem to flow to me.

    I know I am still young and as practice more and learn more I'll get better and better. I look up to some of my heroes in this field such as Dave Elman, Gerald Kein, Cal, tom nicoli and erickson and I see how the sessions seem to flow so easy for them, but then I have to remember they have been at it way longer then me. I know in time it will come and for now I am just keeping on, keeping on. Everyday in everyway I'm getting better and better. I also believe in just going for  something when I can. I have a motto which is fail forward fast. I believe with my motivation and my motto I will get the right flow in time. My hypnosis instructor once told me I have to find my "talk button" once I find that I 'll be on the way. Well I got to run, but until the next time.

    Thanks, Josh, for your comments.

    Re the guy who told you that you needed a "PH.D." - well up here in Canada we all know what that means - "Piled Higher and Deeper". (Next time someone tells you something like that, I suggest you ask them if they supply hip-waders and a shovel with that). ;-)

    My guess is he doesn't have a clue because there is currently no school (that I'm aware of, at least) that teaches to the PH.D level in hypnosis, so just goes to prove my point, above.
