Some so-called hypnotherapists are sicko's!

by Dave Sabat 30 October 2007

My blood is boiling but I feel I have to put this post up now. I was just checking my emails before I set off home when I found one promoting some “hypnosis downloads”. Just before I hit the delete button I caught sight of one of the titles and had to re-check it to [...]

Monday Motivation – straight to the point.

by Dave Sabat 29 October 2007

I have mentioned before many times about the difference between dreaming about doing something, talking about doing something (the “one day” syndrome), and actually doing it. This short example sums it up brilliantly. ********************************   Novelist Sinclair Lewis was supposed to deliver an hour-long lecture to a group of college students who planned to be [...]

Is hypnosis medically approved?

by Dave Sabat 25 October 2007

Will I reveal any secrets while in hypnosis?

by Dave Sabat 4 October 2007

Not unless you want to. Sometimes it may be beneficial to reveal a secret so that therapeutic change can take place but someone will only reveal a secret because they choose to, they want to, as opposed to me “making” them tell me. No-one will say or do anything in hypnosis that they don't want to [...]

by Dave Sabat 1 October 2007

If you want to get to a certain place on this planet, you've got to know where you are starting from before you can plan your route.
