Conversational Brain Change: Hypno-Reconsolidation and Beyond

In this full day workshop, you will learn an adaptable system that goes to the heart of how the brain changes. You will learn how to unlock foundational memories to update beliefs, habituated patterns and create generative change by accessing entire neural schemas. 

You will be able to integrate these processes into whatever form of hypnosis or coaching you do. Understanding the essential ingredients underneath the work you do, whether it’s regression, NLP or some other modality, will allow you to be more strategic and flexible. Being able to explain in very simple terms the neural underpinnings of the work you do will open up many streams of referrals from doctors and clinicians who might otherwise be skeptical of hypnosis. There is an art to using psycho-education hypnotically. Creating bullet metaphors from neuroscience to embed suggestions, build expectation and set up multi-level communication will make every moment hypnotic, from initial call and intake to follow up. 

You’ll learn how to use nonlinear language to interrupt the dominant hemisphere and advanced spatial and temporal shifts to directionalize the mind consciously and unconsciously. We will also play with drugs. 

You will learn the verbal and nonverbal cues for applied neurochemistry and priming. Knowing when to go for dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin is key to dosing your clients strategically. We will also cover tricks to boost norepinephrine and acetylcholine for increased neuroplasticity. 

Sound fun? 

This is a class that will bring your work up to date with the latest research and give you some fresh ideas and insight into your own practice.
