RIP to a legend in his lifetime!

May 14, 2024

My introduction to the world of hypnosis took place in 2008, when I trained with Jonathan Chase in 'Original Hypnosis.' Talk about jumping in at the deep end! The man oozed presence and a certain kind of animal magnetism that was wonderfully apt for the task at hand. I drove home from that training and went straight to my brother's house. I hypnotised him and had his hand stuck to his lap in the blink of an eye. I was so astonished to see this stuff really work out in the 'real world' that the two of us went into town and repeated the same simple exercise in a couple of pubs. I was hooked. Over time, I began to...

On November 4-5, I will be running a two-day training event in Stockholm, Sweden.

Yet, paradoxically, setting out to intentionally change things may be the root of apathy and stagnation. : More than that, we will: Discover the dynamic effectiveness of brief acceptance See why mindfulness is so much more than just a fad Understand what connects Erickson, Zen Buddhism...

Happy New Year – and where the hell have we been?!

Hi folks - and welcome to 2023! It all seems a little familiar so far, but I am sure there will be some exciting surprises along the way. As you may have gathered - from our silence here, or mentions in the facebook group - things have not gone off without a glitch here at H2Di. In fact, there have been glitches a plenty! Numerous issues meant we had to pull-out of training events we were looking forward to towards the end of 2022 and the training courses we hoped to provide here are currently on hold. The courses will be released eventually, but for now we have no time-frame in mind. We're not thrilled about it, but we keep...

Contact Form is Back!

January 28, 2022

| General

It was brought to our attention today that the Contact Form was down. We have no idea how long that has been the case, though it does explain why our inbox has been pleasantly quieter than usual! However, the page is back and we can confirm that the form is once again working as intended. So, now it's over to you - send us any comments, or queries you have regarding the site. We would also encourage you to send us any inductions that you would like us to consider adding to the site. An alternative way to contact us, especially if you would like to discuss any content on the site, is by joining our facebook group. Either way,...

What is Hypnosis?

May 17, 2021

| Articles, General

So, it turns out that one of the most helpful answers to the oft-asked question, What is Hypnosis?, is also one of the most vague. I've said for a good few years that when clients ask that question they are usually asking something different to academics or professionals. In my experience, clients don't tend to be enquiring as to how involved their pre-frontal cortex will be, or whether they will be experiencing alpha or theta levels. Yet, having said that, I would still offer my answer as valid and useful to the researchers and hypnotists as well. What exactly is happening with hypnosis? What criteria can we use to define it? What is Art? By way of a poor analogy,...
