Something I am thinking about this week because of conversations over the weekend. I noted a number of people with what I call weak experiences with Hypnosis. A weak experience is not a bad experience per se but one where the hypnotist did not do an adequate job of explaining the process of hypnosis to the subject. I also noted a number of instances of anxiety brought on by inadequacy issues or what I am perceiving as inadequacy issues. People feeling bad that they cannot be hypnotized.
This is of course nothing that should cause anxiety. When one kind of approach does not work, the hypnotist should try a new approach and re-examine the subject to learn about possible different approaches. I hate to see people walk away from hypnosis with a bad taste in their mouth.
