WSH453 - Matt Dickson on the Slinky & the Subconscious

Want to get your clients into trance faster and deeper – and have them raving about working with you?

Listen now to this episode with hypnotist Matt Dickson to discover:

• How to stop overcomplicating it and tap into simplicity for better client results

• Why “traditional” hypnosis language can make or break rapport without you even realizing it

• The hidden persuasive superpower already within you… and the one thing you need to unlock it!

Matt (and his mustache) brings a unique perspective in this episode with his trauma-informed approach that bridges yoga, personal training, and hypnosis in ways that will transform how you think about client work – including what to do (or not to do) with abreactions, a deep-dive into the concept of "sthira-sukha", and why “permissive language” helps you get better results with your clients. Listen now!

"Most hypnotists don't understand how persuasive they are, and that the client doesn't know about mind-bending language or the Elman induction and all these things. They just want the result. They just want to be hypnotized." ~Matt Dickson
