On Friday nights on RTL 4, there is yet another hypnosis program and, of course, once again only one side of hypnosis is highlighted. Missed opportunity
You're back in the room
I personally found the very first episode hilarious and I was in a huff. I myself have done hypnosis shows and this is simply a hypnosis show with more effects. It is definitely fun and worth watching once. It is copied from an English format where it is also a success.
But then again, for image purposes, it's not helpful. Why now always such a show. Then I always get emails with questions like "Is it real?", "This is fake, right?", "Are they actors?". After all, it looks so implausible.
Then again, when you have an appointment scheduled with a hypnotherapist and you see that, do you feel like going? Having done shows myself, I know it's real. These people are selected and have a talent for going into hypnosis. They are really not weaker or dumber, well, they have a talent.
Talent to go into hypnosis
It's like someone who can play the piano very well or play soccer well right away. That's a talent. So is it with hypnosis. Essentially anyone can be in hypnosis, just some much easier than others. And then in that group that goes quite easily you also have a percentage that goes very easily, the so-called virtuosos or somnambulists.
These are selected out and they do a show with them in no time. What is unfortunate is that in episode 1, for example, there was a woman who was afraid of frogs and she had to pet them. Now Rinke, the hypnotist had made her believe they were chicks and she petted them. So far so good, only after that he gave the suggestion that she knew everything again and also that she had thus petted those frogs.
She almost had a very severe panic attack right there on the spot. Everyone laughed ... well ...
That could really piss me off. Help that girl right then, I mean she is already very susceptible to hypnosis, all you have to do is say "From now on you won't be afraid of frogs" and it's done.
Of course it will be implausible to many people, because how can you get rid of a phobia of frogs so quickly, but I know it can be done. In fact, I myself once helped 8 people get rid of a problem at a hypnosis show. In fact, when someone is very deep in hypnosis, it can be done quite easily.
That seems like a cool thing to show instead of someone with their head in a pie.
Anyway, it's kind of fun. Too bad hypnosis is being thrown into that corner again. Hence, I will also soon start doing episodes of hypnosis sessions where you can see how effective it really is. Hopefully then people will see the value of hypnosis in therapy and it will come out of the corner of entertainment.
Nonetheless, I would definitely go check out the show. And then ask yourself,imagine it's real and so these people can do that with their brain ... Then they can just simply get rid of a problem, right?
Indeed, that was the question I asked myself and hence I have now discovered a form that manages to do just that with almost everyone sitting across from me ;-)
Well I would like to be able to do this myself....
You can because on Oct. 15 and 16, Richard Stooker (mentalist) and I are hosting a unique two-day street hypnosis training. You can still be there. Look here for more info.
