Hi, Hypno-Friends!<\/p>\n
I’m excited to announce that I have been chosen to be a featured presenter at the Oregon Hypnotherapy Association’s spring educational conference this month. \u00a0I’m giving a talk on the topic of aversion therapy—that’s the art of using hypnosis to attach “a big fat no!” to the habits and behaviors that people want to stop doing. \u00a0That runs the gamut of things like stopping smoking, drinking, overeating, fingernail biting, procrastination, and more.<\/p>\n
In the field of hypnosis, there’s harmful negative aversion (suggesting illness and death–which I would NEVER do to a client), and there’s positive aversion. \u00a0The “aversion” aspect of any work I do is all positive aversion. \u00a0Here’s more about my talk for those interested in the nitty gritty of hypnotherapy, who may read my blog.<\/p>\n
The Power of Positive Aversion<\/strong> What would you never do?\u00a0 “I’d never kill anyone.”\u00a0 Sure,\u00a0 you would.\u00a0 If the situation was such that the killing became an imperative and appropriate response.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s not a felt response,\u00a0 that’s an intellectual response.\u00a0 What makes your skin crawl?\u00a0 What is it that you would REALLY never do, such that the thought of it is so repellant and disgusting and fearful to you that it turns your stomach and your brain says about it:\u00a0 “That’s a big fat NO!”\u00a0 Eat live worms?\u00a0 Kiss your grandmother?\u00a0 Jump out of an airplane for fun?<\/p>\n Aversion in hypnotherapy is the art of attaching a “big fat NO” to an unwanted behavior such as smoking or eating sweets, in the mind AND the body.\u00a0 In this talk, I demonstrate a potent NLP technique to achieve this.<\/p>\n Finding and attaching the most potent multi-sensual aversion connection is very much an art form.\u00a0 Hypnotherapy itself is a creative art, and the more you successfully tailor ideas and associations for the person in front of you and what moves them, the more successful results you will achieve for them.\u00a0 Everybody is different, and their “big fat nos” are different.<\/p>\n In this talk we discuss aversion.\u00a0 Unwise, harmful aversion (you’re going to die a horrible corrosive death with illness, pain and suffering if you continue the behavior) vs. creative positive aversion. \u00a0\u00a0For a long time I avoided aversion suggestions altogether, because it seemed to me to be only negative and hurtful.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It doesn’t have to be. \u00a0\u00a0Also in this talk we discuss how useful aversion is in a propulsion system to change, combined with the positive attraction of desired outcome.<\/p>\n Connie Brannan, CHt, is a Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Licensed Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™, Professional Conversational Hypnotherapist, Design Human Engineer™, Persuasion Engineer™, Timeline Coach & Regression Specialist, Usui Reiki Master Teacher, and Matrix Energetics Practitioner.
