Adam interviews Shawn Schweier

In one the most important rants Adam has ever had, according to him, and instead of the regular ‘Hypnosis in the news’ section, Adam froths at the mouth about a topic he feels strongly about and addresses whether or not hypnotherapy training should be academic and the seeming trend in anti-intellectualism in the field.

This week’s professional discussion sheds light on the ways matching and pacing are used in coaching and therapy.

The factoid of the week this week examines the correlation between being mindful and hypnotisability.
