My first hypnosis training was a year long and it was a complete waste of 365 days! Then I spent a day with Jonathan Chase and 2 weekends with Stephen Brooks (miles apart, right?) and it felt like my hypnotic skill improved 1000%.
Anyway, I had heard about legendary things like the Ericksonian handshake. It always seemed like the epitome of hypnotic skill. To be able to hypnotise someone that easily, that quickly, so effortlessly.
And then I saw Stephen Brooks achieve arm catalepsy in a maximum of 4 seconds, by merely taking someone’s hand, looking at them and saying 2 or 3 words.
At that point, I realised that inductions weren’t really about the excellence of the technique.
