A Different Kind of Hypnotherapy

 

A good friend of mine came into my office many years ago with some distressing news.  His wife was finishing up what appeared to be a successful chemo treatment, but the doctor was very concerned that she was continuing to smoke cigarettes.

"She's tried, but she just won't quit",  Dave spoke despairingly.  "The doctor suggested hypnosis, so we I took her to the clinic next door, but I don't know if it's going to work," he sighed.

"Did she have a hypnosis session?", I asked.

"Yes, but I don't know if it's going to work?", he repeated. 

"Tell me what happened,  why aren't you sure?", I said.

"She came out of the session, got into the car and before she even closed the car door, she took out a cigarette and started smoking."

"Really, do you know what kind of hypnotherapy they used?"

"No, I didn't even know there were different kinds.  They made her a CD of the session",  Doug said with a glimmer of hope in his voice.

"Well, why don't you bring the CD over and I'll check it out for you,"  I offered.

I was surprised so see Dave the very next day when he rushed into my office with the CD in his hand.

"This is it," he said, "Can you check it out.  She really needs to quit."

"Sure, Dave,  let's put it in over here and have a quick listen."  I placed the CD in the player and sat back to listen to the session.  I was actually surprised that the quality of the recording was very good.  The hypnotist was using a rhythmic voice and the suggestions and words were very reasonable."

"Well, Dave, this is a pretty good script. What did your wife say about the session?", I asked.

"She said, she sat in a recliner and the hypnotist spoke these words.  She listened but she didn't really feel much.  She didn't know if she was hypnotized or not."

"That's interesting.  And after the session, she didn't feel any different?" I asked.

"No, like I said the other day, she just couldn't wait to get out to the car and get a cigarette.",  He chuckled a little.

"Is she suppose to go back for another session?", I asked to find out their protocol.

"Yea, she's suppose to go back again, but I wanted to check with you before we decide?" His voice dropped, as the hopelessness was creeping back in.

"Hmm.  Well Dave, this hypnotist is using the standardized method, and I would say is doing a good job with it.  But, you know there is a different kind of hypnotherapy that is much more effective."

"Really?", He asked with a rise in his voice.

"Yes,  I could clear some time of my schedule to work with her",  I said.  "I'm very good at this."  I proclaimed, looking into his eyes.

"You see, Dave, hypnosis can be categorized into three types. Most people are trained and use the 2nd type, the standardized method.", I continued

"What type do you find works, John",  Dave asked.

"You know, Dave, the standardized method does work for 15 to 20% of the population.  If you happen to be one of the lucky ones, you can go to see any trained hypnotist or even buy the standard CD's and get results.  But for most of us, it just doesn't get it done."

"Tell me more", he asked.
