The following is a new article by the founder of Petra Hypnosis and Advanced Institute of Complementary Healthcare, Ms. Fauziah Shah, on tips for hypnotherapy professionals who are just starting out.

The Best Ten Ways to Be Business Smart
By Fauziah Shah

TIPS FOR BEGINNING HYPNOTHERAPY PROFESSIONALS
- THE 10 BEST!

1. Professionalism

It is very important to think and act as a professional. This would mean dressing to look professional too, especially when one is new in this line and needs to convince others to trust you. The place where we operate should also be visibly professional and should be designed to make people feel comfortable. Being a member of a professional group is also good.

2. Confidence

Being confident is very important, especially since most of the cases you work with are on self esteem issues. If you do not project confidence, how can you expect our clients to be confident in what you do? When my clients tell me " I hope my ....." I tell them, "Don't hope. Just believe. And if you want it so badly, you will get it". This is a great confidence booster.



3. Knowledge

No one can deny the importance of knowledge in our field. Although you've had the best training, there's always something new to learn. So actively seek knowledge in your field. Taking a refresher course is also useful. In fact, when you take advantage of repeat courses, your knowledge of the essential parts of the course can become clearer. Then there are many books you could read and you could gain much from being an active member of email groups that discuss hypnosis.

4. Practice

Also, there is little gain if one just keeps on reading and gaining more and more knowledge without practicing. When you actually do the work, not only do you learn more, your confidence also soars. You can always learn from your 'mistakes'. Remember, the more you practice, the better you become. And when you actually start practicing, more questions will arise and so will answers and you'll find yourself filling spaces of your hypnosis puzzle!

5. Interpersonal Skill

You will need to talk to a lot of people and learn how to interact with them. Sometimes how you say something will make a difference as to whether they want to be seen by you. This is applicable not only for face to face conversations but also for telephone conversations. Due to moods, sometimes even the well seasoned speaker may make a mistake or two and lose customers as a result, so don't beat yourself about this. Also the more 'slips' you make, the more you learn and the more the next client will benefit from your experience. So, just keep refining your speech as you continue practicing

6. Competence

Competence comes with lots of practice and knowledge. When we are competent, we get more clients who will even recommend others to us. Keeping in touch with all the latest techniques available polishing our skills all the time through practice makes us competent in what we do. To be competent is to be skillful.

7. Mailing List

Keep a mailing list of all those who have enquired about your services and send them regular emails by providing some interesting details. However it is important not to spam them and you should allow them to unsubscribe from the mailing list whenever they wish. And when they need to see a hypnotherapist, they'll think of you- someone who's available and easily accessible.


8. Advertisement

You may want to do some marketing of your services so that people out there know that you exist. Today the best way other than the yellow pages is to maintain a web presence. Also your satisfied clients will be your walking advertisements, so make your work client centered. And most importantly, they should be truthful and reflective of the true nature of your business.

9. Perseverance

Sometimes things may seem like an uphill task. These are the times when you need to be like the deaf frog that continued hopping up the hill despite taunts from the crowd and despite the fact that all the other frogs succumbed to the heat and the steep slope and gave up. The message is: Don't give up easily!

10. Contribution

The most important asset of a service provider is the contribution he or she makes to the community, either in individual services or in a group. It is alright to want to achieve financial goals, but you can also contribute to your community by volunteering to give free public talks to educate the masses about the benefits of doing hypnosis. This way, more people get to know about your profession, and of course at the end of the talk, you may distribute your name cards and brochures about your service.

Hypnosis teaches you how to take charge of your emotions
and not to let emotions rule you.
By Fauziah Shah

American psychologist and hypnotherapist Calvin Banyan, in his book ‘The Secret Language of Feelings’, has very succinctly elaborated about emotions and how they rule us most of the time. He points out that most of us walk about with lots of suppressed feelings and emotions. Along the way, sometimes we find avenues to release them but in many people, these are just waiting to ‘explode’.

Most human societies frown upon the so-called negative feelings such as anger, so people have been conditioned from young not to display such feelings. This leads to people having a backlog of anger or other negative emotions just waiting to be expressed. All experiences of suppressed anger accumulate and any new experience of a similar nature resonates with the older stored feelings causing people to ‘explode’. This inexplicable anger is what surprises many people.

People who have suppressed anger from young usually have problems with controlling anger in adulthood. However the strange fact is that people who suffer from such anger moods are either unaware of their condition or living in denial. Usually it is family members or well meaning friends who point this out to them. Even then many go through life not knowing how to overcome this problem. Some live in denial by publicly refusing to admit that there is anything to be bothered about and privately doing a mental battle all their lives.

As a 7th Path Self Hypnosis teacher, I conduct 7th Path self hypnosis classes regularly at my centre. I teach my students to understand that all feelings are good, including anger. Although 7th Path is an anti viral programme of the mind which works automatically upon contact with the Recognitions that are given out during the class, most students find that they start looking at things differently. Their perceptions change for the better and they become better able to manage their emotions.

Many adults who have anger issues are those who as children were not allowed to express their anger. Anger has always been seen as something that needs to be fixed, changed, stifled and discouraged. Many children were even punished for expressing anger or related emotions and many have grown up with feelings of inadequacy.

This is the mindset that needs to be changed. 7th Path Self Hypnosis is a mind-body-spirit approach to doing self hypnosis. Although 7th Path is not meant for healing, healing takes place and this is mainly due to the invitation of Delta or the student’s Higher Power to be a part of the process and also due to the clearing of emotional and mental baggage as a result of this practice. Many of my clients also opt to do 7th Path to complement the therapy that they’re doing with me. Many prefer one to one sessions with me while others join my group classes to benefit from the group energy.

7th Path is not a religion and people of all faiths can do this course together. The term ‘Path’ is just an acronym for ‘phase advanced transformational hypnotherapy’. Participants learn to accept the message that is delivered by their subconscious. They are taught to understand that all feelings are good, even anger which is a natural, healthy emotion which tells us that something is not fair and has to be set right. It is when people ignore such messages that over time, anger turns into frustration and eventually into depression.

There are times when it is appropriate to be angry. For example it is anger that has made possible the sprouting of democracies around the world and the emergence of independent states. As soon as people understand their emotions and how to manage them, they find it easier to handle internal stress which either becomes less potent or even non-existent. People who have unresolved issues can visit a hypnotherapist to do one-on-one private sessions or they may want to consider doing this through learning and practising the automatic process of 7th Path.

If you have any unresolved issues that need to be resolved and if you have problems with any kind of feeling or emotion, it is time to visit a certified hypnotherapist who is well versed with the secret language of feelings.
