Part Two: Coercion or Co-Creation? 

Greg has been studying the work of hypnotist trainer, neurolinguist, psychonaut, transformational coach, and mind explorer James Tripp for many years now.

You don't need trance, he said. You can make them do unbelievable things without needing to yell, "Sleep!" he said.

That was just the beginning.

For three hours, James kept blowing Greg's mind about the nature of hypnosis, but more importantly, the nature of perception itself.

All week, we are sharing segments of James Tripp's discussion with Greg and this second session strongly focusses on how powerful hypnosis really is, in craft and practice. 

You'll learn:

-How James feels about "The Silver Bullet" of hypnosis techniques and his quest to find it 

-How James handles "challenge hypnosis" and if he can make people do whatever he wants

-The limitations of the 3 Principles and mindfulness-based change modalities 

-Is "gypsy hypnosis" a real thing? 

-What does James think about the statement "hypnosis is just placebo?"

That's just the tip of iceberg.

Greg's mind is still reeling. Enjoy the ride.
