The Horizon Center School of Hypnotherapy

Knowing a lot of hypnotherapy techniques doesn’t necessarily tell you what to do with the person sitting in front of you.

That requires a different skill.

You have to learn what to listen for.

A client may spend ten minutes telling you about their problem, but not everything they say carries the same weight.

Maybe they casually mention that the problem started shortly after something happened.

Maybe they use the same phrase three times.

Maybe they tell you, “I know it doesn’t make sense, but…”

Maybe something they learned years ago explains perfectly why their subconscious is still producing this response today.

Those are clues.

The more client work you see, the better you become at recognizing them.

And then there’s another level of thinking:

What do I do with that information?

That’s one of the reasons I created Inside the Session.

You’re not just watching me hypnotize somebody. You’re watching the thinking that happens around the hypnosis.

Before the session, I teach. During the session, you observe. Afterwards, you get to ask me why I did what I did and what I was thinking when I did it.

Our next client series begins September 2.

If learning how to think through real client work is something you want more experience with, you can find the details here:

Have you ever finished a conversation or client session and realized afterward that you missed something?

It was there.

You just didn't have enough mental bandwidth to notice it while everything else was happening.

That's one of the things I find interesting about Ozz's MDST training.

The goal isn't simply to give you more information to remember.

It's to train the capacity to perceive more of what is happening while it is happening.

Over eight weeks, Ozz works with professional perception, behavioral and emotional patterns, multidimensional observation, process direction, organizing complex information, decision-making, real-time application, and finally integrating those skills into everyday professional work.

The idea is that eventually you aren't mentally scrambling to keep track of everything.

You've trained yourself to hold more.

MDST begins August 30 at 4:00 PM Pacific.

MDST | Multidimensional Thinking Training for Therapists An 8-week live online training that develops multidimensional observation for psychologists, hypnotherapists, therapists and personal development professionals. Created by Ozz Sevilla.

One of the things I missed when I moved my hypnotherapy training online was the conversation.

Someone asks a question about a client and suddenly we're talking about subconscious associations, consultation questions, session planning, hypnotic arguments, or three completely different ways you could approach the same situation.

Those conversations teach things that are difficult to put into a lesson.

That's why I started my Ask Me Anything sessions.

On the first and third Monday of each month, we meet live on Zoom and talk about hypnotherapy and working with the subconscious through the Whole Brain Hypnotherapy approach.

Bring a client situation you're trying to figure out.

Bring a question about a technique.

Ask about something you've learned but aren't quite sure how to apply.

Ask about consultations, session planning, building a practice, or why I might approach something differently than you were taught.

Or don't bring a question at all.

You can simply come and listen.

You don't need to be one of my students, and you don't even need to be a trained hypnotherapist. If you're learning hypnosis, considering training, or you're simply curious about how I think about hypnotherapy and the subconscious mind, you're welcome to join us.

It's also a nice opportunity to meet some of my students and graduates and hear the kinds of questions that come up as people begin applying this work.

Every AMA is different because I don't decide what we're going to talk about.

You do.

Our next AMA is Monday, September 7 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM Pacific.

We usually think of memory as something that happens after an experience.

But there is an important step that comes first.

You can't remember information you never really registered.

Think about working with a client.

While you're listening to what they're saying, there may also be changes in posture, breathing, facial expression, tone, hesitation, word choice and emotional response.

That's a tremendous amount of information arriving at once.

One of the things Ozz works with in RECALL is the ability to become more deliberate about what you notice and capture in the first place.

The training then builds on that with photographic perception exercises, structured mental images, spatial anchoring, internal organization and retrieval.

For hypnotherapists, therapists, psychologists, energy facilitators and other professionals working closely with people, that has some very interesting applications.

Today is AI as Your Hypnotherapy Assistant.

We will be looking at how to use AI to organize client material, develop more thoughtful hypnotic arguments, and support session preparation while keeping your own judgment at the center of the work.

I’m looking forward to spending the afternoon exploring this with everyone joining us.

The AI as Your Hypnotherapy Assistant workshop is happening this Sunday.

AI can help organize information and save time, but only when the person using it knows how to think critically about what it produces.

In this workshop, I will show you how to use AI to support your session preparation without allowing it to replace your judgment, your understanding of the client, or your responsibility for the work.

Today is Why You Still Feel Stuck.

Tonight I will be explaining why unwanted habits, thoughts, and emotional responses can continue even when the conscious mind is ready for something different.

We will look beneath the symptom and explore what the subconscious may still be trying to accomplish.

Listening and observing aren't quite the same thing.

A client might say:

"I'm fine with it."

If I'm only listening to the sentence, I have one piece of information.

But what if they hesitated before answering?

What if their shoulders tightened?

What if their voice changed?

What if what they're describing fits a pattern you've already heard three times during the conversation?

And what if there's something about the relationship they're describing that changes the meaning of the words completely?

Now I have several layers of information.

Words.

Feeling.

Motivation.

Relationship.

Patterns.

Direction.

That's the idea behind Multidimensional Strategic Thinking.

Ozz's MDST training teaches professionals to become better at holding several layers of a person's process at once, rather than following only the most obvious thread.

His next eight-week group begins August 30 at 4:00 PM Pacific.

MDST | Multidimensional Thinking Training for Therapists An 8-week live online training that develops multidimensional observation for psychologists, hypnotherapists, therapists and personal development professionals. Created by Ozz Sevilla.

Sometimes people spend years trying to change a habit, emotional response, or pattern without understanding what is driving it.

They try to reason with themselves.

They use willpower.

They make promises that next time will be different.

But the subconscious does not automatically update itself simply because time has passed or because the conscious mind wants something new.

In my free live class, Why You Still Feel Stuck, I will explain how old associations can continue driving present responses and why symptoms often make sense when we understand the context in which they began.

You will learn why surface work often creates surface results and how hypnosis can help us identify and update what is still operating beneath the response.

This class is open to the public and is also a good way to experience how I teach before deciding whether the full training is right for you.
