The Psychology of Persuasion in Safety Protocols: "Sometimes you need to be [authoritarian] because if people fell into machines they could die. So sometimes you need to be. But generally, if you can persuade people to make safer choices, overall it becomes a safer and more comfortable working environment."

The Power of Visualization in Therapy: "You don't need, really, to close your eyes to be in formal hypnosis. One of the reasons that we often say to clients, please close your eyes, is that what you see is such a cognitive load that you're so busy processing all of that, that you're less able to focus on your inner world and the change that you want to achieve."

Exploring Hypnotherapy Techniques: "Often for people, if you're doing something very active, like when I'm working with athletes, and it's very active focused, they don't necessarily feel relaxed. They feel super alert or super focused."

Exploring Hypnotherapy Education: "I wanted to know how people are taught hypnotherapy and how they learn hypnotherapy because there's sometimes a difference between the methods that we use to teach it and the methods that and the strategies that people use to learn it."

Understanding Hypnotherapy: "It's generally a brief strategic therapy. If you want to just go and have a chat and offload, then some forms of counselling, not all, but some forms of counselling might be better for that."

Understanding Hypnotherapy: "So it's good to chat to 1, maybe several hypnotherapists to find out if their style works with you and if you resonate with them."

Understanding Hypnotherapy: "The more prepared you are for your 1st hypnotherapy session, the more you'll often get out of it because you're giving the hypnotherapist useful information."

Empowering Self-Care: "But if you do some self care every day, that's suddenly a massive great percentage of your week. And the thing that happens with that, though, I commonly find is that clients start taking ownership of their change."

Effective Communication Insights: "I think one of the things that really sticks out, and it's something that I talk widely on at safety conferences and risk management conferences, is to pay attention to the language that you speak."

Modern Challenges in Hypnotherapy: "In the modern marketplace, you need to have your business head on. Yeah. Hypnotherapy head. It's great that you want to help people, but if they don't know about you, then you're not gonna get those people to help."
