Self-hypnosis: the Betty Erickson 3-2-1 technique

[@aariataarmy]

Ive never had a trance technique work so ludicrously fast. Unbelievable

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

Glad it work so well for you. This is a very efficient technique. :)

[@Foxbrother90]

I was in the middle of an online Milton Erickson Institute training just now and suddenly felt really anxious. Took a break and found your video. It relaxed so quickly and throughly that it moved me to tears. How kind of you. Thank you so much!❤

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

I'm glad that you had a positive emotional release. Good luck with your training.

[@mgnwill]

I’ve never liked nor taken to meditation without background music, but this was wonderful. It was easy and personally very productive.

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@KennyDagger]

I was quite tired when I tried this, fell down a very deep rabbit hole lol Didn't remember much but was like a man on a mission when I came back. Amazed

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

I'm glad you came out of the rabbit hole fully refreshed! :)

[@brechjevanbeek347]

Thanks for this video. I am using it to gradually heal from old trauma. Having wonderfull experiences with this.

[@GH-im3lj]

Marvelous ! what a lucky choice of mine! I feel a subdued joy the one that stays no matter what. Very grateful I am.

[@Delprete2]

Got to be one of the best inductions out there!

[@maxmaxwell3787]

Thank you, a powerful guided meditation. Will use again.

[@NishanthSalahudeen]

16:17 how exactly does one use it himself when what you demonstrated is an induction like anyother executed by you (a third party). When you do it yourself, how does it work? Do you talk to yourself aloud? Do you just memorise the script and imagine hearing it? Or you must record this and playback while you listen to it? And if the person(self):goes into a trance, can they continue to guide themselves to comeout of it following the script? Perhaps you should talk us through what happens or what you do in your mind when you do it for self. Its confusing.

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

Thanks for your comment, excellent points. I will develop them further in a separate video. For now, what I would say is that you first set an intention (I want to relax, imagine things, etc...), set a time limit and also set an alarm just in case. Sometimes, one might actually drift to sleep. Now there's the issue of "how can I be the hypnotist and the `hypnotee` at the same time?". All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. The hypnotist is merely there to guide. You can compare going to hypnosis with driving somewhere. The first few times, you might need a GPS or a co-pilot to get there. Rapidly, you'll just know the road and won't need the instructions. The beauty of this induction is that it's a simple formula rather than a complex scripts with clever language patterns. It focuses you inward and helps you get into hypnosis easily by just focusing on your senses. Another easy one is progressive muscle relaxation where you quickly imagine relaxing every muscles from the top of your head down to your feet and then imagine going somewhere nice (some do a lengthy one, I only take a couple of minutes to do it). So you can listen to a recording, but eventually, you won't need prompting, you'll just run through the motions and get there. You can easily get yourself out of hypnosis, nobody gets "stuck" in hypnosis. But again, if you have to be somewhere after your session, set an alarm just in case. To be honest, often you don't need complex inductions, but I'll keep some for my next video. :)

As I was doing I saw my pet who passed away 2 weeks ago coming to me joyfully. What does it convey to me. The self guided hypnosis was wonderful. Thank you

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

So sorry for your loss, I know how painful that is as I've been through that many times, and the last time was just a few weeks ago too. I am please though that you've had a positive experience with that image of this pet coming to you. They're always with us, we always remember them.

[@geethanilam2857]

Is this Folkestone in the UK?

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

Yes, Folkestone in Kent, on the south coast, just a few miles from Dover.

[@alen7339]

at 3.2 min, crank it up he starts mumbling. otherwise yery good🧐

[@colinremmer2417]

Maybe a daft question but what difference does it make if you sit with your legs crossed if that's what you find comfortable?

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

As long as you're comfortable, that's absolutely fine and it makes no difference. It's just that most people can't keep their legs crossed for too long without having pins and needles, that's all. So not a daft question! :)

[@colinremmer2417]

@@folkestone.hypnotherapy Thank you. I've heard different hypnotists say to uncross your legs but I've never understood exactly why - now it makes sense

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

@@colinremmer2417I'll let you into a hypnotist secret, it's also part of a compliance set. Ask people to perform 2 or 3 simple tasks so that they will comply more easily with the next one. It's similar to the "yes set" that a lot of sales people use to prime you to say "yes". But really, if you want to be hypnotised, it's not that important and, as far as I'm concerned, it's more about comfort.

[@Zoe-dr5ps]

I'm not suffering with psychosis but what happens to someone who is?

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

Psychosis is where you see or hear things that are not there or believe things that are not true. They've lost touch with reality. Hypnosis uses the imagination a lot, so it could trigger a psychotic episode where the person can't differentiate between their imagination and reality. They can go into hypnosis easily but the complications are unpredictable. Hypnosis is very safe for most people, but the first rule is to not make things worse for your client.

[@Zoe-dr5ps]

@@folkestone.hypnotherapy I understand. Thanks for the explanation. It makes perfect sense 🙂

[@steveguichard2259]

Can you use this for tinnitus

[@jamiereife5581]

That was excellent! It really was.

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

Thank you very much! 🙏

[@etbl3740]

How many days should practice hyponsis and can help me reach my goal fasher ?

[@folkestone.hypnotherapy]

Practice whenever you can, it's always beneficial as it will help you relax on a regular fashion. Now if you have a goal in mind, it depends what the goal is and whether your doing it alone or with a therapist.
