Welcome to Episode 41 of Brain Software with Dr. Mike Mandel. This podcast is a fun one, as always, and we've covered some really important topics.
Here are the show notes for this episode
- There is a real tendency for people to describe themselves based on what they do for a living. This is a real problem because most people wouldn't continue doing their jobs if they had unlimited money. So why describe yourself based on your job?
- Mike talks about a study looking at people's regrets in life. All regrets are relational, which is fascinating. The lesson to learn from this is focus on relationships to truly enjoy your life.
- The Architecture of Hypnosis 5-day training (live with Mike Mandel in Toronto) is coming up towards the end of November. Sign up now.
- We have a chat about hypnosis scripts and their mis-labeling. We propose that people stop saying "script" when they mean "example". If you are first learning hypnosis there's nothing wrong with reading examples of hypnoosis sessions (i.e. transcripts). But you should never learn hypnosis by taking an actual script and reading it at a client / subject. If you read a script, as written, you are no longer interacting with your subject. You are no longer in a psychodynamic loop. So let's not call them "scripts" when we mean "transcripts" or "examples".
- Chris discusses his metaphor for hypnotic language (Ericksonian) which he calls the "unrolling the infinite canvas". When you understand this metaphor and apply it to your own hypnotic language you'll quickly realize you don't need to read scripts at people.
- We have an interesting dialog about how to price hypnosis sessionss if you are a hypnotist or hypnotherapist. This discussion applies equally well to other professional coaching services or really any kind of professional service. The bottom line: Avoid selling packages called "Gold", "Silver" and "Bronze" when you intend to deliver your best possible work. There is too much risk of putting forth a message that Bronze package is of lower quality than the Silver or Gold. Are you delivering your best possible work or not? If yes, call the packages something else.
- We make a few good book recommendations for people who are interested in getting started in the field of NLP and Hypnosis.
Empowering Question: What is the next skill you are going to learn? And how are you going to master it in record time?
Closing metaphor: The story of Albert Davies.
