Ever since I got my hands on Bill Ohanlon’s A Guide To Trance Land, I fell in love with his work. Primarily his approach to solution oriented work. In a nutshell, solution oriented therapies focus on finding solutions, rather than solving problems.
It’s often seen as a radical approach.
Recently I had the chance to interview Bill Ohanlon. Aside from being a swell guy, he’s also a trailblazer in the hypnosis world.
Have fun digging into this interview.

This podcast is an update from my healing journey with Ken Guzzo at Hypnothoughts Live last year.
I was lucky enough to be chosen as a demo subject for his 4 hour talk. This was a demo of something known as Prime Potential. Before we dive too deep into this podcast…let me just say that I’m about as skeptical as they come.
Ken Guzzo didn’t let me down.
Without going into the gory details, he helped me to unshed a lot of emotional baggage I’ve been holding onto over the years. There was one specific memory that seemed to be dragging me down quite a bit. In the matter of about two hours we were able to bring myself into an emotional state where I was literally buzzing with freedom.
The only way to describe it was a feeling of freedom and stepping into my true authentic self.
Listen to the interview below to discover what happened to me since this demo at Hypnothoughts Live 2016.
What’s Ken Guzzo up to at Hypnothoughts Live 2017?

I reached out to Keith Livingston to review his Hypnotic Language Mastery program. It teaches the nuts and bolts of Hypnotic language patterns:
The milton model patterns
metaphor creation from stem to stearn
and the elusive slight of mouth patterns
Buckle your seat up because we’ve got a story for you. Its a familiar story and it usually goes like this:
You’ve been reading about hypnotic language patterns. You’ve also thought how you’d use them in your everyday life. And perhaps you’ve imagined these patterns flowing smoothly like honey from your mouth.
That is until its game time. Right when you’re going to wow someone with your hypnotic language skills (hopefully without them knowing) you start to choke up a bit.
It begins with a feeling of sheer terror exploding in your chest. You freeze in your tracks like a deer caught in the headlights.
And soon you’re drowning in a sea of negative thoughts that are hammering away at you:
“Am I going to sound like an idiot?” “What if they catch me?!?”
But you push on with the hope it’ll work itself out…but it doesn’t…and you fall flat on your face.
Listen up. We’ve all been there. In a moment you’re going to hear how I used some of these patterns at a sales job I used to have.
But first things first…lets

Which reminds me of a quick story about the sales job mentioned earlier. Lets get cracking.
I was at a job where I signed people up for timeshare sales presentations.
Its hard as hell to convince people to sit through a 2 hour high pressure presentation.
Once people here the word timeshare their defenses shoot up like a missile.
I couldn’t manage to get anyone signed up for a timeshare presentation. Rent was coming up and I was at the end of my rope.
So I tried this “secret weapon” used by politicians. It goes like this – “The issue isn’t X, its Y which means Z”
“I don’t have enough time to do a 2 hour timeshare presentation while I’m on vacation.”
“Perhaps the issue isn’t that you don’t have enough time, maybe its that you haven’t found a vacation company that values your time as an individual, which means you can look forward to how you’ll be treated during your presentation.”
They agreed and booked the presentation on the spot. BOOM!
I was speechless
