WSH365 - Laughter for Hypnotic Change

Laughter can be a powerful tool. For some, it helps people cope with a tragedy. Others use it as a mechanism to ‘break the ice’ or break an uncomfortable pause in a conversation. People use laughter to help them process difficult emotions and situations. As the late, great Ted Robinson used to say: “Many of us have a hard time processing true emotions without profanity.”

Laughter is dissociative, and the moment you laugh at something, you often begin to look at it in a different light. So how can we use laughter as a tool for positive hypnotic change?

In today’s episode, I discuss how we can leverage laughter as a way to build rapport with our clients and create an anchor for hypnotic change. I explain how you can use it as a hypnotic suggestion tool in your practice and how you can incorporate humor into your client intake process to begin setting change into motion. I discuss how we can use humor as a way to help our clients change their perspective on their problem or situation and how changing their perspective enables them to effect positive change. I also share strategies for helping your clients celebrate and be grateful for their past experiences without reminding them of the problems they’ve already overcome.

“Hypnotic suggestions are not just words. They’re thoughts. They’re feelings. They’re actions. They’re experiences. They’re emotions.” - Jason Linett
