Foreword by Alan B. Densky. I'll tell you a little bit about myself and my way of doing things. I discuss the behavioral changes that are about to automatically take place for you.
Session 1: Knowledge Is Power. When clients come into my office, I don't just plop them down in a chair and start a hypnotic session. Knowledge is power, and it accelerates and amplifies anyone's success. So in Session 1 we discuss the different therapeutic approaches used in each session; how to obtain the best results; realistic expectations; the common misconceptions about hypnosis; the difference between a "Patient" and a "Client"; and the root of the unconscious motivations for people to bite their nails.
Session 2: This is the first induction of hypnosis, and we utilize gentle methods to guide you into a blissful, deep state of relaxation. Post-hypnotic suggestions for the elimination of stress are offered to the unconscious. In addition, suggestions that will make the listener become aware that he/she is about to put his/her fingers into the mouth before doing so will be given, and this will give you the ability to decide not to bite the nails.
Session 3: NLP Techniques. There are very powerful NLP techniques that can be used to "flip" things around in the unconscious, so that things that used to trigger the urge to bite the nails will actually eliminate the urge! The same techniques can be used to cause the unconscious to use stress producing thoughts to trigger relaxation instead.
The NLP techniques used in this program are the foundation of our Neuro-VISION Video Hypnosis Programs. (With Neuro-VISION, the need to visualize is eliminated because the video does the visualizations for the viewer.) In this session, you learn how to use these NLP visualizations to train the unconscious to automatically eliminate the urge to bite the nails.
Session 4: Process instructions are generalized instructions to the unconscious to retrieve memories where prior learning has taken place, and then to utilize those learning experiences to make the desired changes in an automatic fashion. In this session, the unconscious learns how to substitute pleasant memories and fantasies in place of nail-biting to produce relaxation and pleasure. NLP techniques to anchor self-esteem and connect them to having nice fingers and nails are utilized.
Session 5: NLP Technique - Flash Away Stress. There are very powerful Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques that can be used to "flip" things around in the unconscious, so that thoughts and experiences that used to trigger feelings of stress actually trigger relaxation instead. In this session you learn how to use NLP visualizations to train the unconscious to automatically eliminate disturbing thoughts and feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression. This has a powerful effect on how one feels and is able to cope with day to day living. And since nail-biting is a stress based behavior, when one is more relaxed, the compulsion to bite the nails is greatly diminished.
Session 6: Advanced induction of hypnosis. I explain how Ericksonian Hypnotic Metaphors work. Then I use a metaphor to create and deepen the hypnotic state and direct the unconscious mind to eliminate urges, and compulsions so that the desire to bite the nails is vaporized! NLP techniques to anchor self-esteem and connect it to having nice fingers and nails are reinforced.
Session 7: Self-hypnosis without the aid of a recording. If a person wants to permanently overcome stress, relaxing with self-hypnosis is very important. It's not always possible to have access to a CD or cassette player. In this session you learn how to give the self post-hypnotic suggestions and induce the hypnotic state to produce a profound feeling of relaxation anytime and anywhere.
